I tried cheating when I was younger in CSS and 1.6 but now I just activate my wallhaxx when I know there is a cheater in the lobby. I don't like it on a regular basis.
But in single player games (I love strategy and builders like city skylines, total war series,...) I use cheats to get a lot of money or resources. Then the campaigns or missions are like sandbox endless games and I really can concentrate on planning and relax.
Since covid made me play way more, I use https://www.plitch.com/en and https://www.wemod.com to improve both sides: mine and the computer player's strength to have some kind of clash of the titans. 🤪
I learned a lot for my non cheat sessions in campaign mode by having more opportunities and peace of mind first.
So for me cheating is good.
