A bit of an unusual resource:
Cheat Engine is not only good for cheating, but also for
cutting through bullshit in general.
I've been inspired to link it here by the recent fuss over Star Wars lootboxes requiring a thousand hours of grinding, because Cheat Engine lets you skip grinding.
Specific useful Cheat Engine features include:
- Run game faster
- Run game slower
- Give gold
- Give XP
- Give various other resources
For example, I play many RPG Maker games at double speed so the characters run around faster and the battle animations take less time and so on. (Music still plays at normal speed, happily.)
I play FUBN at reduced speed so it doesn't require quite as twitchy reflexes.
And in Nomad I used Cheat Engine to fill up the fuel tank rather than pick 150 blue crystals one by one.
