    Man, if I could have save states for my life and be able to reload from like any time in my life… Well, that would be one superpower that I’d like.

      Or it would turn out like Rick and Morty where you forget to save for a year or two and your dumb dad restores your previous state when everything is going perfect.

        I don’t want toot my own horn but I think I could do a little better than fucking Morty who is an idiot.

        Like yeah I think I would definitely fucking save like, press the button 20 times just to make absolutely fucking sure when I got rescued from the plane crash.

        The fact that it’s sitting in a place where his dad can get it means that he definitely still was aware of it he just fucking didn’t save???

        Like bro anyone who plays a game like Skyrim or fallout would do much better with that shit than him.

        Honestly the scarier option is accidentally saving before your imminent demise in a way that you can’t avert. Like if you remember that one futurama episode where Fry gets a device that lets him travel back in time one minute that he steals from the professor and winds up stuck falling from a skyscraper forever until the plot bails him out.

          If everyone had save states the world would not yet have completed one whole day. Stuck perpetually in a time loop until everyone was happy?

            But you don’t remember other people’s, so in your subjective perception it’s only been as much extra time as you used.

        It couldn’t work, because each person making a change would reset everyone else. It could only work logically with one main character.

      There was a webnovel about this and having interactions with people that literally never happened led to protagonist acting “slightly off” in his relationships with everyone else.
