- xeonmc 2y agoUsually by the time you are in working age people have outgrown the e-ego waving contest to be incentivized to cheat in an inconsequential video game* *with some exceptions.
- kurisufag 2y agoyou're on a website called "Hacker News", man. you think the startup game is less of an "e-ego waving contest"?
- kurisufag 2y agoit wasn't a brag or anything, i just don't know by what means i would've been introduced to that stuff other than game cheats. 15-year-old-me definitely did not care about crackmes or malware reversing. i did start writing code in middle school, though. php, mostly :)
- pooloo 2y agoyou sound like me, I was a little younger though ... aimbots, wallhacks, esp, textures, radar, it was all intriguing and I hated encountering cheaters in CS 1.4 and 1.5. I also began dabbling in writing bots around this time, as POD Bot was awesome! php had also been a thing of mine, I spent many months in DALnet and EFnet #php. Primarily around the time of v3 prior to v4's big launch...
