Gotta space those hotkeys out. I usually put F5 as my quick save and set quick load to something like the P key so I don't end up doing that on accident.

exactly what i said. save too many times and you break the game permanently

>>376912431
Show an example of this

What's worse is saving a game, dropping it for a month or so, and forgetting what happened in the game when you come back which causes you to restart the game from the beginning because you're so lost.

>>376912431
huh, I didn't realize flash memory had this issue
still, it's in the thousands so it's not something to worry about in the near future
but I learned something today. thanks anon

>>376912491

no

>>376912243
All flash-based storage media has a limited number of write cycles before writing to that media again becomes unreliable, this is why SSDs have special features such as wear leveling that marks nearly-dead sectors on the drive as "bad" and silently moves the data from those sectors onto good ones

Battery-backed saves and conventional hard drives don't have this problem but they have their own limitations (batteries die and HDDs suffer mechanical wear and sectors becoming bad with age)

yeah I looked it up after he said that. pretty interesting stuff. everything decays, no exceptions

Even worse is when you finish a really tough level then die in the next one and have to do that difficult part all over again.

4X games have done this to me so many times
