Oh that's just the start of it. I recently learned there are cheating methods that use sniffing and live modification of system RAM via PCI Express DMA transfers. As usual, physical access to hardware trumps all.
This is an excellent mini documentary explaining the various techniques to avoid kernel level anti-cheat, including pre-boot EFI-based cheats, PCIe DMA sniffing, video over serial auto clickers, and the state of the art motion detection over streaming video with MITM USB host controller.
Yup. AI hacks are now the norm. They’re Pretty much undetectable too. I use aimmy for shooters, which amusingly claims it’s an accessibility app for the physically disabled.
I love it because suddenly I can actually compete with the sweatlords who spend every waking moment optimizing their play. I don’t have time for that shit, but I want to have fun.
Downvote away, but game cheating is subversive in the best way possible, and the haters can simply deal with it. I think it’s straight up good for society as it encourages a technological race to the top from others who want to stay competitive. There’s more value in learning how to cheat in a game with respect to learning about computers than there is in playing legitimately. Time spent getting good at a random video game is simply a waste of our precious limited lifespans.
I argue we should legalize doping in sports too. Daniel tosh argued for this famously, pointing out that a bunch of roided beefcakes playing sports is far more entertaining for the average viewer since it improves the quality of play.

Hope it was worth your dignity.
Seriously though, the whole point of ranked matchmaking is to give you a fair game with people who are similar in skill. If you compete without cheating, you will get matched up with other casual players instead of "sweatlords".
I hope every person who’s a victim of my AI hacks reacts at least as poorly as you do. The salt, rage, anger, etc of gamers is the funniest stuff ever.
What, with mild sarcasm? The description of the tool is hilarious.
I just legitimately don't see the appeal. I installed a CoD aimbot way back when, and it just ruined the experience. There is no challenge or satisfaction in winning when it's the tool doing all the work.
Cheaters in online competitive games will always be a huge laughing stock for me.
Can you imagine being so silly to go and cheat on a game? Ha!
I used to play a couple of specific competitive games and get the occasional cheater.
It was always a riot to run circles around these people and turn their cheats against them.
We had ways of both making the player know that we knew they were cheating and ruin their game, sometimes for hours.
I went out of my way to hold these players captive with me so they could not go ruin a new player experience.
A service to the gaming society, you see. The more upset and irritated the better.
I didn't have to win, I just had to prevent them from winning. It was such fun.
Still have a bunch of hatemail from these people and cherish every bit of it.
If I didn't get hatemail, I wasn't doing it right.
Why not play and cheat in solo games if you are bad at multiplayer? Only having fun when others are not is a bit disturbing. You could create an AI to help you beat Dark Souls or something, then you would respect both computer learning and human beings...
It’s up to the game devs to do whatever they want. It’s up to me to figure out how to subvert their intentions.
It doesn’t matter about what I am “okay with”, what matters is my power and my capabilities. See the philosophy of max stirner for a deeper explanation.
So I will do what I can to be a game cheater without being detected so that I preserve my advantage and don’t get lumped with other cheaters.
So you’re no different to anyone else who cheats at anything. You’ve come up with this whole philosophy and self aggrandising narrative about why you do what you do. But really you’re likely just covering for some weakness or feelings of impotence that are arising from elsewhere in your life and this is how you cope. Unless of course you’re doing it for monetary gain, but I haven’t seen that in your boasts so far.
If you’re really powerful, dominate people on a level playing field. I’m thinking you can’t and you’re too weak of mind, will or ability to do so.
