    I just want more games to let you quit to desktop from the game without having to first “Quit to main menu -> Are you sure? (yes!) -> Loading screen + main menu animation -> Quit to Desktop -> Are you sure? (Yes, i’m goddamned sure!)”

        Yeah. I’ve been abused by enough games that I don’t bother to even try to exit with the new ones. It’s just quicker and more reliable at this point.

        This is why I like games with dev consoles.

        ~ -> ‘quit’ -> enter

        I stream my screen on Discord a lot and there’s been a handful of times I’ve gotten comments like “Jesus Christ you closed the game fast”. Makes me feel like a wizard.

      Just save the game from the pause menu, and then close the game from system than main menu exit button.

      I appreciate that so much now as a parent, because when the kids are awake, I need to be able to stop what I’m doing at any moment. I’ve been playing a lot of turn-based games for that reason.

    I just wish more games would tell you, “Your last save was X seconds ago.”

    I love it because it tells me what I need to know and it’s relatively simple to program (i.e., note current time any time you save or load).

    I just finished a 13 hour long hardcore Iron Man run in ITR2 in one-shot.

    Dying means losing all progress anyway

    Don’t fear the reaper.

    I mean when’s my last save point? We just made a discovery last week that could help had we known it… 15 years ago? 25 years ago? Hell it’s something we could have planned around. It’s one of those “shit I would like a reload and a railroad” discoveries. Still gonna help, but I could have saved so much time and effort.

    That would be fantastic in Baby Steps. To be able to wipe out the last few minutes of failure.

    Last weekend I made zero progress, but I did it much faster than the weekend before.
