don't give a shit, going to continue to use them. i have other hobbies than playing games in addition to other responsibilities so i don't have all the time in the world to autistically grind something like i'm still 10. i don't want to have to repeatedly endure the parts of the game i already beat just to get to the parts that i'm still progressing on.

another stupid sentiment i see here often in this discussion

oh really? if that were true, why did so many devs leverage memory cards and save progression in the 5th generation when it finally became feasible to do so? 4th gen and before devs were limited by the technology. as a way to pad out the game length, they made games difficult. it's no coincidence that they started shifting away from that paradigm as the technology allowed them to. they were now able to build games with more content instead of simply cranking up difficulty.

>hurrr durrrr ur not havin fun
>hurrr durrrr checklist!
lmao @ still thinking this strawman is a legitimate argument. yes, i do want to play as many games as i can. time is fucking precious. i'm not like (You) that still autistically grinds the same 8 games from his childhood and goes "durrrr y duz every1 think dees games r hard? i've got 10,000 hours in them they easy!"

i WILL use save states
i WILL beat the game faster than you
i WILL get the retrocheevo
you WILL piss and poop your pants over it
