What Morty-esque way would you inevitably still fuck up whilst having the ability to quicksave? I'd end up hitting the button as I fell over trying to get out of the way of a moving car so loading the save just results in a looping death.

TFW you end up in an accident which leaves you in a persistent vegetative state and you forgot to sign a DNR so your family just keeps you alive like that instead of letting you die so you can reload your save.

I mean, when you eventually died, you’d get back to your last save, and since you’re unconscious, it would still feel like nothing

But what if you're conscious the whole time (locked-in syndrome instead of vegetative state)?

Then you'll have a lot of time to plot your revenge

I had a looping death quicksave once in Skyrim that lost me hours of progress

I intentionally turn off the menu autosave because the way that one works is that it saves whenever you open the inventory/map/whatever if it has been X time since the last save, so it has a huge chance of auto saving when you're opening the inventory to see if you have any health potions/food.

I always disabled that too because autosaving was buggy. If I recall correctly, I knew I was going to die and hadn't saved in a while, so I quickly smashed F5 hoping to save my progress, but instead got put in that loop.
