The games and their results

Hades 2 - Result: No data loss.

Still Wakes The Deep - Result: Absolutely fuckaw.

Dread Delusion - Result: Getting very bored of entering my Windows password.

Cyberpunk 2077 - Result: Regret starting this pointless experiment.

Alien: Isolation - Result: Just glad this is over, to be honest.

    I would imagine it also creates a temporary file to replace the file, so if the pc crashes it reverts to the temp file. Would be silly to not have a safety net.

      If the computer is powered off when in the middle of writing a game’s current state to disk, that write is going to be incomplete and the state lost.

      Sure, your save slot may not get corrupted and you’ll probably still be able to load whatever was in it before, but no amount of temporary files is going to help you recover data that was never written to disk in the first place

        Which isn’t an issue in most games since they usually have an auto save that triggers every 3 seconds. It would only be a factor in games where you can only manually save. And people know to save those VERY frequently for various reasons already.

          Ah well if we’re going to just make shit up to win an argument, I’ll have you know that my uncle works for Nintendo and he said that’s not true.

            Other than fromsoft games, can you name a few that don’t have an auto save or a crash backup save system?

            Sure a few games like Stardew valley, but that’s also part of the game mechanics.

                Omg… a minor very obvious exaggeration that doesn’t affect the conversation at all….… it’s usually around a minute, or when an action is triggered.

                Better hurl insults and make extremely obvious claims that mean nothing in response! That will show the class I’m smart! I was agreeing with you originally, but you’ve gone and made an idiot of yourself here.

                Can you provide a few games, or no?

                  Buddy you might want to take a breather, this can’t be good for your blood pressure

                  Edit: lol, they apparently went to my profile and downvoted pages worth of my comments because suddenly all of them have one more downvote.

                  The clitoris has 6000 nerve endings, and it’s not nearly as sensitive as our little cabbage dumpling here.

                    Yeah, he did the same thing to me last night and got banned from [email protected] for it.

                    I think Lemmy should borrow the feature from reddit where if you get downvoted a lot, it tells you to take a break when you try to post or comment.

                    So… you can’t tell a minor obvious non important exaggeration…. and you don’t want to answer a simple question? But you want to hurl insults… and want to do THIS when someone claps back at your stupid attempt… at whatever this was…?

                    Lmfao yeesh dude.

                    So are you going to answer the question? Or just avoid it since you can’t actually think of any that fit the requirement…?
