Argharghsgdssaagh you also have a separate manual save slot. Have you never played a turn-based strategy game on PC that autosaves every turn but you also make your own saves every 10 rounds or whatever :(

No, never played anything like that. I don't think auto saves are even worth it unless you have an event that is meant to be based on luck and you don't want the player to cheat.

I know people don't like hearing this, but a certain degree of arrogance attracts women like absolutely nothing else in the world.

People don't like hearing that? I don't know, I always kind of knew this.

I was pretty much saying the same thing. But, we really can't tell if he should have one unless we know what kind game he is making.

Having an auto save really depends on what kind of game your making. If you have a game like FFT, where it's to mess up your whole game by saving at the wrong time, autosaves would be a horrible idea. In a game like prince of persia where you can't have a game over, auto saves might be helpful because you can always you can always go back and fix your mistakes. Driving a person into a corner because the game auto saved in a locked room and a tough boss that you aren't prepared for will kill your game. Ultimately, auto saves aren't really noticed and they wouldn't improve your game much anyway.

What do you do in a situation where you just happen to see a really hot girl on the streets and she makes it noticable that shes interested but you don't know her so it would be akward to stop and chat.
