    as an Xer i played video games for years before they invented “save game”

    i’ve spent exactly 0.00 nanoseconds since then missing those pre-save-game days

      And for retro games, emulators have left even that in the dustbin of time.

      Sick of the last RPG save happening 20 minutes before a boss fight? Save at literally any moment with save states.

      That too much work? You can rewind the entire game.

        Remember the C64 cheat cartridge? Saved off your game / reloaded it whenever you wanted.

        I wanted one so much, but I never got one 😔

      I sometimes wish manual save was a thing. Autosave is nice, but dont take away features please.

      Like in expedition 33. I didnt realize you could only fight the last boss 1 time, so i went and did endgame after the story. Now i cant see the ending(s) without doing a full play through or watching someone else do it on youtube.

      I started NG+ lol
