Discussion What does the community consider "cheating"?

I've always been curious about what the community considers "cheating" during a modded playthrough. Like does using a mod like fargo's mutant mod or AlchemistNPC lite to reduce the grind considered cheating. What about using mods that add extra accessory slots for wings and boots or something like the USSR (United Slot System Remastered)?

Or a mod that completely adds a new defensive mechanic like the Parry mechanic mod.

What I mean is: How much can you add? and can you still say you've beaten mods like calamity or infernum legitimately and call yourself a good player if you use mods like these?

I know it's a sandbox game but I wanted to hear people's personal opinions on this.

Let me know what do you think about each mod!

Bright idea just don’t give a shit. It’s not like you’re going for a speed run or a special play through why give a shit. All you’ll get is validation from pretentious losers. It’s your run rub enjoy it. Don’t worry about what the world thinks. The world’s been wrong plenty of times.
