I feel like I hosed up a quicksave on Max Payne on the original Xbox (grenade at my feet) and after a few minutes of panicked pissed off searching through menus that's how I found out they were stored in a queue and you could load an old one but it might have been Max Payne 2

mine was ff4. I think it was the GBA version. I got to zeromus a little under leveled and tried to use save states so I wouldn't have to grind and accidentally saved over every save state on different points where he was about to wipe the party. I had to watch the ending movie on YouTube. (I'd beaten it before, at least, but still)

Martman posted:Once played Ys 3 for SNES (the sidescrolling one) on an emulator a long time ago... I was using fast-forward functions constantly to help with grinding, and relying on quicksaves. I got pretty far in the game and accidentally fast-forward sprinted myself right through a really strong dragon boss (taking a ton of damage) and then reflexively quicksaved on accident. I had only used one save ever, and never used the actual game's save function, so that left me stuck behind the dragon with absolutely no chance of killing him before he killed me. Softlocked the game completely as far as I could tell. what does the game end completely when you die?

I get irrationally angry when people use fast-forward features in emulators, even if it's just skipping text or whatever.
