Why the fuck is it ALWAYS Pokemon that this shit happens?
Sure in later gens they made it so you had to enter a code just to delete a save but these stories are always Pokemon.

I still feel bad.

tl;dr: I loaded an old save and ruined the game of someone I didn't know.

I was playing Trouble in Terrorist Town without a mic and a guy with no health and a deagle asked me to type something out real quick (I forget), so I opened the chat box and then I got deagled. I'm sure I've done more retarded things but that will always stick out in my mind.

The first Fable had this talking door that asked me to "perform an act of great evil in its sight". I tried everything and couldn't get it to open. After running out of ideas, I went to a nearby town, made a girl fall in love with me, married her, then took her to the door and murdered her right there. Still didn't work. Then the Internet told me I was simply suposed to fart.

Overwritten save files was my life for the longest time.

Then when my brother saved over my Ruby with over 1000 hours on it (that thing kept me sane in high school) I went full nuclear and screamed at him so much I made him cry.

And hey, my saves never got overwritten again.

In the survival viewer in the medical screen you can spin Snake around, if you do it enough the animation will change to him holding his stomach and when you exit the menus he'll throw up, which drains a portion of your stamina but will get rid of food poisoning.

I played the same song on easy mode in senran kagura bon appetit for 15 hours straight to get the platinum trophy, last trophy needed was completing 200 songs.

The worst part of it all is that a few days after I did this I learned about a cheat code that unlocks every trophy, which my friends all used and got the platinum from. so yeah fuck trophies.

Taught my sister how to scam people in runescape

Over a decade later and all she does is play mmo's and tries to scam people

She's made hundreds of dollars this way, destroyed 100+ man clans, stolen and trashed accounts in mmo's with literal years of playtime and more. Everyone trusts her because she's a girl so people just let her on their accounts and shit to "powerlevel" and stuff. She's the nicest person you'd ever meet irl though.

we did back in runescape days, it was a lot easier that way to convince people that we were duping items and shit. We had a lot of copies of items that people would trade to us to dupe that would test the water with lesser items to dupe, all it would take would be one "successful" dupe where their shitty adaman sword suddenly became two and then they would give you everything they had to get it doubled. I'd often give armor to my sister who would then wear it and give a copy to the other guy so they would think that there's now two pieces of armor because she is clearly wearing one and has another one to trade.

While people aren't as retarded online as they used to be they are still pretty retarded. Especially men around women in MMO's. Literally once she got in a skype call all she had to do to get on their accounts was ask to use them. She either said she wanted to powerlevel herself or try a high level job to see what class she wanted to play.

When I was living at my sisters place for a month because asbestos was in my old apartment complex and I had to move I watched her make a new character on maplestory, join a guild, get access to like 6 different high level accounts, clean them out (Tons of people didn't item guard their shit or only guarded 1-2 pieces despite some of their gear being worth some serious money), and then shuffle it around the characters eventually to several different new accounts and then sold a few pieces of the gear a couple weeks later.

I wish she'd try some of that shit on EVE because it seems like the perfect breeding ground to do the shit she does but she still likes playing mmo's with actual gameplay.
