I turned my PC off during the "don't switch off" symbol in five different games to see what would happen and boy was this an annoying experiment - eviltoast

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.

    Which isn’t an issue in most games since they usually have an auto save that triggers every 3 seconds.

    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 !technology@lemmy.world 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.

                Frankly downvotes should be disabled by default, it’s just not a good system and there’s a lot of problems with it, and the instances that do have downvotes disabled haven’t turned into the Nazi-infested wastelands where good arguments get drowned out by mindless garbage like many ardent downvote supporters seem to believe will happen.

                I think it’s hilarious that you think I care enough about any of this to go through comments, look at mine, I have a few people that go and downvote my comments and anyone I engage with. The people in Lemmy are baffling when you upset some of them.

                And no, I talked to the mod, i was banned “for not being awesome” for trying to have a discussion and it be derailed exactly like this and resorting to insults. Apparently things are more free range here, but same results when you use insults back, not surprising, I’m starting to get a very particular vibe from some instances and need to ban them from my stuff.

                But am I the sensitive one… or are the sensitive ones that check their comment karma enough to notice, let alone actually care about this stuff….? Are upvotes and downvotes that important…? Some instances don’t even allow downvoting as well.

                  Well, I looked at your comments like you asked.

                  Dude, you’re getting downvoted because your behavior seems to really often be legitimately unpleasant, unnecessarily combative, and abrasive, not because somebody has a grudge against you.

                    It’s usually when I’m having a discussion and someone tries derailing it with some BS or joke which happens far too frequently in some communities.

                    But yeah, I get it, people can be abrasive, not everyone needs to communicate the way you want them too either as well. Life always going to be how YOU want it to be and reality is usually far worse than what people want to make seem “normal”. Lotta people put on a face in public just to seem pleasant to people. It’s requirement for most customer facing jobs.

                    The dude was abrasive with me first, but fuck me I guess eh?

                  If you’ve seen a pattern of conversations you’ve been party to derailing and turning in to abrasive, hostile arguments, you’re the problem bro.

              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…?
