What did he mean by this?
My main two I can recall are:
100 hours in FF7, some bug happened where when I went to save it erased the file instead
Save was gone with most things completed in the right before fighting Emerald Weapon
I also overwrote a 100+ hour FFTA file with a side file I had been playing on, then still played another 100ish hours on the new file eventually getting to 300/300 missions complete
One time I played a game for a long time and forgot to save.

Lost my Ace Combat 6 save, still haven't caught up to where I left off (played through the game like 4 times to get half the medals, just can't be assed to do it all again).

I don't know which one's worse
FF12, I accidentally overwrote my complete all hunts finished file with a halfway finished file I was playing to check something. It was really, really dumb.
>need to emergency reinstall OS

>don't make a backup of save because I assume Steam saves it in cloud
I still haven't beaten DS2 and probably never will because it's such a chore, but I do miss the DLCs
Power outages are my nightmares
Not the same thing, but I was playing the PC version of FF7 way back when and the game just stopped working after the second disc. Too bad because I was enjoying it.

I got a power outage in Majora's Mask after I had completed Snowpoint in its entirety in a single three-day run right before playing the song of time.
I didn't touch the game again until the 3DS release, when saving made sense. That shit was infuriating.
