I wonder if it’s accurate to say that for hacks, it’s the means that’s considered “cheating”, whereas for cryonics, it’s the end itself that’s considered “cheating”.
That seems like a good distinction between Munchkinism and Hacking, as I’ve seen them used by their respective cultures. Munchkinism is about using the rules to accomplish an “unacceptable” goal, whereas Hacking is about accomplishing acceptable goals via “unacceptable” methods. Thank you for helping me cement why the two terms felt like very separate ones :)
