What Morty-esque way would you inevitably still fuck up whilst having the ability to quicksave? I'd end up hitting the button as I fell over trying to get out of the way of a moving car so loading the save just results in a looping death.

TFW you end up in an accident which leaves you in a persistent vegetative state and you forgot to sign a DNR so your family just keeps you alive like that instead of letting you die so you can reload your save.

I mean, when you eventually died, you’d get back to your last save, and since you’re unconscious, it would still feel like nothing

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But what if you're conscious the whole time (locked-in syndrome instead of vegetative state)?

Then you'll have a lot of time to plot your revenge

I had a looping death quicksave once in Skyrim that lost me hours of progress

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I intentionally turn off the menu autosave because the way that one works is that it saves whenever you open the inventory/map/whatever if it has been X time since the last save, so it has a huge chance of auto saving when you're opening the inventory to see if you have any health potions/food.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I always disabled that too because autosaving was buggy. If I recall correctly, I knew I was going to die and hadn't saved in a while, so I quickly smashed F5 hoping to save my progress, but instead got put in that loop.

That's big green flag to me

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It would be if it’s a NV quicksave

[–] Titou 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You can change the HUD to green on NV

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but yellow looks better for nv

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I mean, FO3 or NV, both are green flags. Now, 76 would be huge red flag lol.

Me: "Do you have any coffee cake left?"

Starbucks Employee: "Sorry, just the one that's sitting on display"

Quicksaving...

That would be such a turn off for me. Have way too many bad experiences with insecure partners

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

This looks insecure because he "saves" but well its just a joke and you actually need to be very secure to risk ruining your question with this joke if she doesn't get it. He isn't saving, he is risking more for a joke. This man is very secure.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago

In my experience that’s not how it works. Insecure partners are often very open about how insecure they are

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's literally a joke. You are clearly not the target audience. I think it's funny, and any girl dropping that on me while we're talking would be a good choice lol. If you can't even see this as the joke it is, you must be fun at parties.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sorry I wasn’t aware that the fun police would be here to gatekeep the comments lmao. I’m just making conversation, sharing my experiences. It’s not that serious.

I know it’s a joke, it just reminded me of the people I knew who would do such things irl and I cringed because of how bad partners they were.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You are using a silly, stupid joke to completely label someone you know nothing about. This isn't gatekeeping its just an opinion on your opinion. That's all I'm saying on the matter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’m not labelling anyone? You’re the one who seems to make pretty harsh conclusions based on very little information. I’m just sharing my experiences. Read our conversation back and you’ll find a stark difference in tone between my comments and yours.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

My tone isn't something I'm denying here. I am annoyed at your response because it comes off very, very judging. This is a pick up line I would use. I'm in a very healthy relationship. Your judginess isn't a good look, and I don't like it. Nothing further to discuss here. It's fine if you disagree, this is the internet after all.
