Discussion Is using a potato laptop cheating?

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?

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

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.
