This is a different kind of nostalgia but today I went through a few youtube channels and watched LPs of games I played as a little kid. Like, Jump Start 2nd and 3rd grade or Cluefinder or Tonka Construction. Can't believe I remember some of the songs about nouns and poo poo 20-something years later

post your destroyed save stories: came home from school to find out my brother had deleted my on-turtle-rock lttp save, I was told I was not allowed to be mad about it and got grounded for being mad. a 'friend' of mine "accidentally" saved over my lunar 1 save with his, setting me way back progress wise. I deleted my friends save on my copy of breath of fire 1 because he named his character gently caress and I was afraid a parent would see it my original diablo 2 characters were deleted because my dad reformatted our pc after I got a virus downloading games from kazaa a kid up the street stole my gbc and pokemon red and saved over my game. when I got my stuff back I took great pleasure in releasing his blastoise 'Ace' before I started a new file

I had gotten up to metroid prime during a rental but couldn't beat it. Years later I got a copy of the game and I never deleted that file specifically so I could go fight Metroid Prime again and finish the game. The game loaded it up once, then the game locked up during the hall to the arena you fight Meta-Ridley in, and my save got wiped. Another time I didn't lose my entire save but I lost some progress in Pokemon Silver. I was playing it at the kitchen table and the volume was on. My stepdad wanted the volume to be off so he reached over and casually took the gameboy from me and shut it off before handing it back. He figured if I didn't want him to shut it off then I should have known he would want me to have the sound off and preemptively turned it off. A friend's save in dk64 got hosed up by a cheat device, he had put in a bunch of codes and at some point the codes resulted in, among other things, making him have 2 full watermelons of health but always dying in 1 hit. Not unbeatable and not completely corrupted but definitely much much harder.

I hear that pokemon silver one FAK, so much progress lost because someone wanted the game turned off right this second. I am glad kids these days grow up in a world where suspend mode and autosaves are king.

I saved right before fighting Emerald Weapon in FF7 and then went to bed. When I got home the next day my brother had loaded my file, beaten Emerald Weapon, and saved over my save.

Kerrzhe posted:i don't know why everyone is suddenly playing dark souls 2 again and it makes me sad that i was permabanned from coop for no reason I am playing because I have made it my mission to beat the From games, but it also turns out there was a community organised event this weekend too so it was bustling. (I got invaded a few times! More so than during my playthrough of DS1 but that might be due to the way invasions work). In terms of save, I have accidentally lost a few multiple hundreds of hours Fallout 4 and Skyrim saves. Never any saves on consoles luckily. Also I lost all my Team Fortress 2 configs at one point and it had been a few years between playing so it took me a few days to remember how I had mapped my controls and find some of my QoL configuration changes. (Such as not needing to click to heal with the medigun, only to change patients.)

My copy of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town was some knockoff 101 games in 1 cart, and it would regularly wipe my saves whenever it felt like it. I was in an endless cycle of building up my farm and racing to get married before the god living inside the cart decided it was time to start over again.

Somewhat recently lost my Trails of Steel save after trying to make use of an vita2sd adapter on my Vita. I also lost my Persona3 save and a bunch of other stuff. In the past I had some cheap third part memory cards for my PS1 that would occasionaly corrupt all the save files. Lost the Crash 2 save with almost 100%, Sotn and various Final Fantasies. After that I always bought official memory cards when the PS2 came around

Thinking about my current GOTY list for 2021. Three games on there so far. Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 and Dead Cells. Arrangement I will let you try to figure out but strong showing this early! Had about a week to meditate on what I think of Dark Souls properly and how it is in relation to Dark Souls 2 and I think I am hugely benefiting from two things: 1) I did not have to wait a few years for a new Dark Souls game. I jumped straight from 1 to 2 in 48 hours and as such 2) I had no expectations to shatter or not meet. These two things are huge when I look at them critically. Dark Souls was amazing fun and if I had been able to play it at launch and properly get into it, then waiting 3 years for another that does not quite do things I am expecting could have been a huge shock. The differences are there, but like someone said, only a few degrees off so it is familiar and yet not. DS1 took me 29 hours from start to completion. DS2 I am 10 hours in, so a third of the playtime. In a way I am classing it as one long continuous play because I am having more fun with every session. (Just got a great club and pumped it up to +6  Club Gang returns!)Now some favourites! Favourite area is Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith - and I do dig the Bed of Chaos. Favourite boss is Artorias/Gwynn. Favourite weapon is Great Club +15 Favourite armour is Black knight set. Favourite friend is either Elizabeth Mushroom or Skellybones Davey Jones Blacksmith.

I saved over my brother’s dark cloud 2 save on accident. I then deleted all the dark cloud data from the memory card and told him that the power had gone off while I was saving my own game and I guess the card got screwy and destroyed our precious save games

I have played about 30 or so games - some for not particularly long (only an hour or so) but these three are definitely making an appearance. I have also had some fun with Blasphemous, Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, Marvel's Avengers, Yakuza Kiwami 2 (will probably appear too if I finish it) and I have big plans for what I will be playing as well. Gaming heaven.

Bloodborne’s probably gonna be a strong contender for my personal game of the year. I’m probably gonna feel too burnt out after doing the campaign/dlc/fixed chalices to immediately replay like I was planning, but goddamn is it such a good game just to play even ignoring how well it does it’s Cthulhu homage theme.

JollyBoyJohn posted:How far through yak 2 are you VG it seems you've been posting about it for aaaages I am in chapter 6. I beat Yak 0 and Yak Kiwami 1 in December 2019 and then started Yak 2 in Jan 2020, then sat on it for AGES. Restarted it again about a month ago and in between Souls Sessions have played it on and off. It is really good and it would be so neat if it took over Yak 0 as my favourite Yakuza game.  I am playing so many games. I think I have FOMO on game playing.

In middle school a friend lent me their copy of FFVI and it must have gotten jostled in the console because something happened and all the saves in it were deleted. I wasn’t terribly far but my friend had an endgame save. He was gracious about it but it would have torn me up if that happened to me. I had some bad luck with PSX memory cards, probably because of an over-reliance on those third party multi-cards. On a related note, big shout outs to people who left endgame saves on the SNES games I rented or bought used. I know that the copy of Mystic Quest I owned came with a save at the very end and it was very cool to fight the final boss with all the bells and whistles before going back to my beginner file.

Not a deleted save, but during college, I really got into Disgaea 2, and one time I lost a couple hours of grinding in the Item World because my friend accidentally knocked out the PS2's power cord.

My friend played on my save of Pokemon Red and nicknamed a bunch of Pokemon things like bum and poo. I deleted the save because I was worried I'd get in trouble if my parents or Nintendo saw.

Convex posted:
I think I will try to explain why. When I first entered the Demon Ruins it was all lava-ry and I am a big fan of the colour orange. Especially such gorgeous rich lovely oranges for the lava they used. The whole area with the wierd floaty buttock demons and taurus and capra demons was a bit hairy but with my great club I pretty much just made my way through. Had a lot of moments of fear with the centipedes coming out of the walls and had a big laugh about an item I avoided thinking it was a trap. When it turned out that trap was actually a boss I laughed even more, and was able to do some running and jumping to lure it to a much easier place to fight it. The stray demon was a pain but it felt so good to vanquish him Then the 'stealth' section was fun and a bit of a shakeup and I liked the little change of pace. I really liked the layout and how it felt I was infiltrating the hellzone. Then the weird ruins with the floaty buttock demons, the big Sarlaac enemy too who scares me to bits and finally the bed of chaos. The reason I really liked the bed of chaos was again, a shakeup. It was not about hitting and avoiding, but doing some running and jumping. I have gotten quite into the running and jumping part of the souls games and the feeling of having those watching me saying my jumping was cool and whatnot made me feel really happy and made the whole thing super fun for me. Basically my experience of it was not the normal experience, and if I did not do it with friends watching and egging me on I might have different thoughts.
