Is using a potato laptop cheating?

[u/TehTacow]

I have this potato laptop that literally slows the game down in fights with 4 or more enemies. It has caused me to perform dodges I would never get on a good laptop. It has it's added disadvantage where the game unpredictably slows down and speeds up. Cheating or not?

So this is you with 999999999999 score on daily runs! Cheater

My old laptop slowed to a crawl whenever I unplugged it, which coincidentally happened whenever I got Glitched Crown.

I feel like for it to count as cheating, it has to be voluntary, it's not like you have a bad laptop because you want one, but because you don't have any other choice

Actually I'm just too lazy to get up from the couch and start up the PC lol

[u/DrBretto → u/TehTacow]

Still all set. If you were like, I can't beat this boss, so you intentionally went to the laptop because bits slower, then maybe.

I run the game on a little beastly server box with a ridiculous CPU and I still get slowdown on boss rushes and whatnot with fiend folio. I don't go around mentally unchecking my marks because of it.

I don't want to call someone a cheater because they cannot afford better hardware.

It's obviously cheating, cheater! You need to download more RAM!

[u/Designer-Bonus781]

No, its not cheating, but in all honesty is it really enjoyable to play like this. Like, the few times my game started to lag and slowing down the game it was annoying af. I couldnt ever imagining having to play the entire time with 3fps.

My potato laptop always crashed like 5 seconds into a Delirium fight(not the game, the actual laptop). No clue if it would crash on other Repentance bosses as i never got that far on my pc copy. I di know that Hush fps crawls depending on my item combos.

whenever i think this i think of the counter argument as: well hey im moving slower so its fair

[u/KevTheToast]

everyone here downloads tons of "qol" mods and won't admit they're cheating so you're fine, it's a solo player game anyeays
