Когда я впервые наткнулся на чит-коды в игре, мне было, кажется, лет 10-11. Я играл тогда в Quake II на самом первом семейном компьютере, и кто-то из старших друзей рассказал мне, что можно нажать кнопку с буквой Ё и ввести GOD, тогда не будешь умирать от выстрелов врагов.
Я попробовал и удивился. «Почему авторы игры сделали такой простой способ выиграть?» — подумал тогда я. «Почему код это простое слово, а не какая-то длинная цифробуквенная комбинация, которую держат в секрете? Неужели авторы игры не хотели, чтобы игроки не узнали о существовании этого кода? Ведь тогда очень легко выиграть в эту игру, и все будут использовать код!»
Я разумом не очень понимал тогда, что, в общем-то, суть игры как раз в создании для самого себя некоторых сложностей. С моей детской точки зрения игра была внешней средой, которая создаёт сложности, а я их должен преодолеть. Я не понимал, что разработчики без проблем могли сделать в игре кнопку «Выиграть», и её никто бы не нажимал, потому что люди играют в игры не для этого. Вообще, хороший баланс между сложностью и интересностью это как раз-таки отдельная не слишком простая задача в разработке игр.
Я быстро узнал ещё про коды NOCLIP (проходить сквозь стены) и GIVE ALL (всё оружие). Я посмотрел всё оружие в игре, побегал по уже открытым уровням и забросил игру. Так я Quake II в своей жизни и не прошёл, хотя он мне тогда очень нравился, и вообще это была чуть ли не единственная игра на компьютере. И я не понимал, почему его бросил, а понял уже потом, через много лет.
Подозреваю, в жизни что-то похожее: нужен баланс между сложностью и интересностью. Если вам сложно, вы выживаете и каждый день сражаетесь за существование, то жить вам тяжело и не слишком приятно. Но и если всё легко, вы не сталкиваетесь ни с какими серьёзными проблемами, у вас есть всё желаемое по волшебству — жить тоже не будет слишком интересно, по крайней мере, в перспективе.
P.S. Там вроде как давно уже выпустили Quake II RTX с обновлённой графикой. Надо бы, наверное, скачать заценить, как время будет. И читы не вводить ни в коем случае.

Hey everyone! I have a major update with regard to all that I owe. I just wanted to completely compile my large list (besides Kiki thank-you headshots, kofi sketches, and fursuit work, for now) so that I can be transparent about the major list work that I owe and give a perspective of how much I'm juggling. Here it is; and I apologize for becoming so backlogged. It is really embarrassing, and I feel ashamed, but I genuinely can't help what life throws at me. I just hope that's a valid reason. Thank you ALL for being incredibly patient, understanding, and supportive despite this. I am so grateful beyond words.
#updates Hey everyone!
I've been going through the ringer lately and I apologize for slow progress and halted work on list comms.
Lately I've been just trying to raise money for Kiki, take care of Wiggles, and tend to my boyfriend and myself.
Earlier this evening, I learned that my aunt doesn't have much longer to live, so I'm understandably upset and concerned. She has been struggling with Parkinson's and injuries for the past year, but her condition worsened over the last couple days.
Just wanted to keep you all in the loop, because this will definitely affect everything work wise. I'm visiting her for probably the last time early next week with my boyfriend and dad.
I'll keep you all posted. Would you prefer updates here or Twitter? I'd love some feedback on that so I can reach people better and make sure these sorts of messages are delivered.
Thanks everyone for your kindness, patience, love, and support.
Hey everyone! I am so sorry for lack of updates this week. #updates
I've been going through the ringer lately. Just trying to survive day to day mostly. My head hasn't been right and my heart hasn't been well. Today was extremely bad in terms of my housing situation, so I'm thinking of taking it relatively easy until I get my heart re-checked next Wednesday.
After that and probably some medication adjustments, I should probably be good to go. I just don't want anything bad to happen since heart disease runs in my family and I live in a very high stress environment as it is.
Thank you all for understanding. There are good things on the horizon; I just need to make it there first.
#updates Hey all!
Bit of a health update and how it's affecting everything.
Lately my memory and cognitive function/abilities have been poor and lackluster. I'm rather overwhelmed in my daily life and I think that's what's contributing, along with my mental illnesses too.
I've been having a lot of trouble with processing, memory, anxiety, heart palpitations, and stress.
I am still trying my best to do work as I can however, and I see my two main doctors for physical and mental health on the 1st and 2nd of Aug. So, there are promising solutions on the horizon.
But, even so, I am concerned for my well being right now. Constant stress is never a good thing, and living in this environment has been extremely painful.
I think ultimately I'll be all right - I'll be taking it easy and working as I can until my appointments. Thank you all for your understanding, patience, support, love, and kindness. It makes me feel so happy and hopeful.
I'll talk to you all soon. 💙
Hi everyone!
I wanted to give an update. I apologize for the radio silence here and everywhere, mostly. I've been having some issue with stress and it's been taking a toll on my heart and sleep. My heart has been going fast and has been hard to calm down recently and I have been getting little/bad quality sleeps.
I'm mostly just trying to make it through my days and nights and take care of my heart and anxiety. I'll be doing work as I can!
But good news is, I see my doctor in a couple of weeks to reevaluate my heart condition and hopefully I can get some relief.
Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. I want to continue to make art well into the future but I gotta listen to my body to make sure I can ensure that. #updates
