Do you save games autistically? You do don’t you?
>>
Yes. I use quicksaves in DOOM, I always save after every battle in RPGs, I always save twice whenever I exit out of a game.
I save.
>>
>>743404857
I always rotate my saves by three hours.
>>
Yes but I play on permadeath/hardcore mode when it's available. I enjoy not being able to savescum, it makes decisions and battles feel more important.
>>
>>743404857
heh heh.... uh.... how many saves is okay before it's considered autistic?

Yeah, I save all the time. Before and after quests, before entering new areas and rooms, before doing platforming, ... Not even to savescum, just to safe myself the tedium of doing it again if I die.

But ofc if I die it's always in the few situations where I forgot to save for half an hour ...

Yeah. When I finish a hardcore gamer session, I make sure to save my game 2 or 3 times in a row to make sure its saved for real
>>
>>743404857
I wonder how much life I took off my gameboy pokemon cart batteries by autistically saving three or four times, every time.
>>
>>743404857
I just a whole chunk of progress in a game I'm playing to due to cloud saves and the game saving for me. So if i can find some way to manual save then i do it. God fucking damn it cloud saves are shit.
>>
>>743405125
just lost a whole chunk of progress*

>>743404857
>Game counts how many times you save
i hate it

Hey Arnold got a lot more depressing in later seasons. Can't believe they almost gave Helga a spinoff either
>>
>>743405016
Yeah, I remember that.
>>
No I forget to save for 6 hours then die to something stupid and lose 2 hours of progress to the last auto save when I slept at an inn
>>
>>743404857
When I first played FF4, the instruction manual cautioned to save twice just in case. A couple years later I realized it meant "make a backup of your save on another slot", but for a while I thought they meant you had to save the game two or more times when you were saving to make sure it stuck.

Yes. I played too many games where saves would randomly corrupt, or the game would randomly crash and ruin my progress. I basically constantly save, and in rotating slots. Before leaving the city, after every fight, before entering the city, before buying equipment, etc.
All the autosaves or single save games still feel weird and uncomfortable to me.
And the best part? Games losing saves is still a fucking issue today. 25 years of gaming and this shit is still happens sometimes. At least the games that have autosaves can sometimes bail me out in case of a crash.
>>
No, I don't save games autistically. I do obsessively take screenshots though. Part of the reason I hate playing on consoles nowadays, because getting huge amount of screenshots onto my PC from PS5 is a pain whereas on PC I have scripts that automatically copy steam screenshots, and rename them according to the game, into a singular folder where I then further sort them manually.

Worse are the reload fags that reload after every shot even if their gun is at 119/120 bullets.

they figured out how to prevent this 30 years ago
if a game wasn't designed for autistic saving it wouldn't let me
>>
>>743405374
how do you do this more than twice without changing your behavior? are you retarded?
>>
>>743405565
Interesting. What do you take screenshots of? Just nice aesthetic scenes, or do you document your experience or something?

Ive been known to savescum a time or two in my days as a gaymer yes
>>
>>743405339
Helga's got the most depth of any character in the show.
>>
No, unless the game has bullshit insta deaths and other cheap shit like trial and error.
Otherwise I save on occasion because I know I can play well.
>>
>>743404857
I used to but that is why I only play games ironman now. I simply cannot be trusted not to save scum.
>>
>>743404857
how the hell do you autistically save games
that doesn't even seem like a real qualifier
>>
>>743404857
Why do I need to save my game? Is it drowning?
>>
>>743405016
Hey Arnold often had some really surreal or bizarre moments. Like teenagers tormenting actual underage kids in broad daylight or people breaking into homes just to steal diaries from their stalkers, and nothing is ever thought about it.
>>
Saving constantly reloading every chance I get but somehow not when I really need it checking the durability on my items washing my hands three times exactly
>>
>>743404857
no not really
