What prompts you to save?

I'm a compulsive saver - no seriously. I take 5 steps: save!, 5 steps later: I can't remember if I just saved so I save yet again. Honestly, it should be listed as some kind of addiction 🤣🤣🤣

It is actually a good thing that you are saving in that manner because if you have actually lost a very huge progress you will understand the importance of your saving in that way.

Damn!! Saving life. It's one thing with old games where you have to save manually, if you forgot to do so and shit happens, you will lose all life's work on the game. 1000 hours of play is huge. 

It was a very painful experience that I couldn't get over very easily but there is nothing I can do about it. It was lost and gone.

This is why there is no harm in saving as much as you can because in the end, it's for your own good because when you lose your progress , you will not blame anyone cos you never saved.

That gaming progress I'd what I just don't want to lose. Because their is always possiblity of losing an entire progress when not saved, and it became an unwanted energy wasted, due to the force we exacted to the game.

The fear of never having to lose a progress always makes me to save often. It's been a part of me now, that I always think of it all through my gameplay of any particular game where manual saving is a must.

I save manually every time I end a session, and every time I feel like the game is going to try subverting my expectations.

Normally, I don't save but when I do, I save for my progress. I should be progressing really well for me to save it.

No one likes to lose their playing progress and it's why we all take it seriously and never miss out on it when we are we have advanced well in the game.

Whoever felt like it's not necessary to save often haven't experienced it first hand the way it pains when you lose a long progress with good achievements because you failed to save.

Here in my locality 'Power isn't stable, losing it wouldn't be a choice for me, especially when I've amazed a very high standards in the game and I don't want to lose such kind of beautiful progress achieved.

When suck happens and you know very well that it's your fault because you should have saved, you can't blame yourself enough for failing to do so.

Power outages in some regions of the world is also among the reasons you need to save your progress , especially when you are playing with a console. If you are using a pc you can actually know when your battery would be low and save your game before it goes off.

There's a guy in my neighbourhood that always plays his games with solar power so that he doesn't have to worry about power outages or any electricity supply problems.

If you have solar power it would also help to keep your devices on maybe during a power outage. But solar power still goes out when the stored electricity in it has been used completely and would need some hours of sunlight during the day to charge to full capacity again.

That would be a good way to have a permanent fix for the power problem but that doesn't solve the problems of not suffering loss of progress if he doesn't save. The game might crash on him and without saving when he's supposed to, he will lose all he's played up.
