Ah, the good ol' 'cursing against humanity' speech. I know that one quite well.

I have to go back to Final Fantasy VI for this, because it's hilarious how random it was. I beat the game a long time ago, and I was working on the extra stuff they had. I was also leveling grinding everyone to 99, except Gogo and Umaro, those guys are losers. I put down the game for a while to do other stuff. Whatever, and I came back. (And this was the GBA game, BTW, no emulation.) When I popped the game into my Gameboy Advance again, apparently, the game was pretending it had no saves at all. In fact, only New Game was available at the title screen. And then I discovered when you put the game in the slot slightly slower than just slamming it in, now it remembers my save.

...WTF? Seriously. Put the catridge in one way, and it acts like a new game. But do it with slightly more care, and your saves are all there. In any case, I tried doing it slightly the next day, and nothing I did brought the saves back. They were gone forever, bummer. Well, I guess I also found yet another FFVI glitch. Woot, I guess?

And now for something involving a power outage.

I was playing Kingdom Hearts, once again, the main story was finished, and I was just hard at work with the post-game. I remember getting every single thing in that game, level 99, the ultimate weapons, completing synthesis, and doing everything I can with the Gummi Ship. Everything, but two little items. Those oddly named rank items you get from the Rare Truffles from bouncing them in the air a certain number of times. I decided to go for them one day, trying the ones in Neverland. Eventually, I succeeded in getting them both, and they were a lot easier than I thought, or maybe I was just lucky, eh.

So, yeah, the power outage comes in and ruins everything. I wasn't even close to a save point at the time. I have never tried to obtain them again, maybe the gods don't want me to keep them.

Long post is long. ><
