If you push the wrong button in a game, do you go back to fix your mistake?

If you push the wrong button in a game, do you go back to fix your mistake?

For instance, I accidentally killed someone in a game last night. But I chose not to fix it, The mistake felt genuine, even though it was stupid.

I tend to not restart.  I feel the gameplay is more authentic that way.

Absolutely, save-scum all the way. Strangely I can accept the consequences of failure in the tabletop, which I imagine is because of the group atmosphere. Were I left to my own devices I'd just read the adventure beforehand and cheat to maximise my rewards. Even more strangely is when I dislike the Dungeon Master pulling punches because I made a mistake that could prove fatal, like being a spellcaster flanked by martial classes. I get that I'm only semi-experienced but c'mon!

The first question for myself in this situation is whether the mistake would come back to hunt me in the game? If no, I'm moving on.

Depends on how ong that I been doing it for, meaning might have taken me hours to get to that part to mess it up. I mean if I wanted to YES, then again if I'm not that fussed then no. Depends on me and how I feel and the game that I was doing.

Would I be getting punished for it? If yes, then I will do everything to fix it but if not, why the stress of getting back to fix a mistake that's not going to be a problem for me?

So, it's more like if the action makes you feel guilty somehow, then you would more likely be fixing it?

If it turn out to be a costly mistake, then their is nothing I can do again to correct it or change it, I just have to accept it and do better to avoid pressing the wrong button.

When there is an option for you to go back to replay and have the mistake fixed, what are you going to do?

A costly mistake should be fixed by all means necessary because it's going to keep hunting you down and making you regret it.

Although, some of these mistakes can be avoided if we don't rush play most of the time. It's when you are in a haste that you get caught up in mistakes.

As long as I'm not the one dying immediately from the mistake, I think that I can live with that to an extent before feeling guilty.

Sure, and that's part of our lives, but when you're very careful you'll definitely scale through unnecessary mistakes. Their are mistakes that doesn't worth it in-game, I know how painful it is to maintain a good playing time only to suffer defeat at the last gasps.

@Bobleethe selfish one 😂. As long as it's not your skin that's on fire, you're good to go.

I wonder who doesn't look out for themselves first? I do that for my always. Although, it's only on Spec Ops : The Line that I felt bad with having killed innocent people.
