My philosophy is basically that I play these games for fun and so I use and abuse rewinding and save states, but I won’t lie and say there aren’t some moments where I feel like a lesser gamer because of it.
you mean like scum saving? Always and forever. I’m trying to shut my brain up in the middle of a dystopian nightmare, not prove myself to anyone.
Why? Feels like payback for those frustrating childhood memories when I couldn’t use them. Cheat lol
I use save states on most official nintendo emus, ex: Switch online NES and SNES. When it comes to platforming games it doesn’t feel like horrible, though sometimes I take a step back after using them to play half the game. I play a lot of games on the original hardware though so I’m pretty neutral to them. I usually just use save states for romhacks that don’t autosave, but doing normally is fine if you think it is. Overall its up to you: Do you think it’s fine? Then it is.
I use them a lot and feel no guilt whatsoever.
