Cheats. Do you use them?

[tokki]

Most of the time I try to beat the game first and then play around with cheats or gameshark hacks (like obtaining a bunch of shinies and underleveled legendaries in pokemon). Very rarely though I've had a game where I just couldnt beat it for the life of me, watch an LP of it on YT, then instead of fallowing along... use cheats. I did that with oddworld: abes exoddus, but I've had that game for many years and had it collecting dust until I moved down to florida. I just couldnt be bothered with puzzle solving during the time.
