Better to be safe than retarded

I do this every time. is that a problem?

>Save game

>Do you want to save? All progress will be lost!

I save, just in case

This behaviour is not weird.
You do it because the consequence could be huge.
It's like looking out for cars when you are about to cross the street or double-check your alarm because you have an important meeting/lecture the day after

i am hammering that button even if i don't want to.

NO.

>go for the quick save button
>accidently hit quick load

I do it like 4 times sometimes when I'm feeling OCD

yeah, the game might be lying to me!

Now THAT is the fucking lego to the foot.
You can always retry making a save, OP.
You cannot un-save.

Fucking hell DMC3:SE really did a number on me with that one.

tfw your sister saved over your jade empire file right before the last stage

Any games do this?

name literally one game

>character just puts another bullet in the magazine

this would be autistic as fuck, obviously the character just puts the 49 magazine back in his pack and puts in a fresh 50 round magazine. do you think its a coincidence that on your last magazine you have 49 bullets?

>just puts another bullet in the magazine
From his pocket full of bullets?

It's hard to enjoy a game again when you're afraid the save data will just disappear into nothing every time you turn it off

If my discovery yesterday is any indication, then no.

It's ok user, you probabbly trained your hero wrong, as a joke.

stream it

Shit. It's caused by too much savescumming, isn't it? As someone who uses savestates to load games whenever i stop playing, this is really shitty.

I wanna Katie!

Same but it was my save :-(

Fucking VBA Advance. I have no fucking idea how they managed to pull that one, but holy shit wasn't that the most annoying thing.

wtf how do you even do that pokemon was hard senpai
was red easier or something?

every damm time in the GBA FE games

I always use and overwrite a single save file

Fuck you Atton.

>the cartridge is defective
happened to many of my games. my pokemon crystal save got corruption which spread from pcs to the game world, megaman xtreme once I got to the second tier of bosses and shining in the darkness once I got relatively far

That's the well-adjusted-person thing to do.

You didn't play old school point and click games where you could get yourself permanently stuck unless you'd load an older save, did you?

DUDE I'M SUCH A WEEB LMAO x3

Yep that's the one.

Well considering Pokémon games have no game over screen and just return you to the nearest Pokémon Center on defeat it wasn't a big problem, mostly a matter of playing continuously and never turning the Game Boy off if you ever had to stop for sleep and whatnot.

No game has caused me so much anger as that one, and I'm not even sure why.

Yeah, and my uncle works at Nintendo...

I like the artstyle, it reminds me of 100% orange juice.

probably

Do you buy extremely bad batteries or what?

I will never understand how a dev can make this mistake more than once.

This has become a disease. Saved multiple times when a rocket/arrow is inches from my face and cause my death every time I reload. Had to enable god mode to get out if it several times now.

Playing metroidvanias is hell for me because I like to save at any time

>Same nigger friend gets corruption on his pokemon game 400 hours in

But pokemon DOES have two save files that it rotates between. You can only lose all your progress if you really REALLY fuck things up.

Runescape was the worst about this

There is literally never anything in crates and chests unless they're for a quest

But I still check them
