    You probably should, y'know. Because you wouldn't want to lose all that progress you've made over the last few hours.

    How often do you save your game? Do you prefer doing it manually, or do you prefer to let the game do it for you with autosaves? What is the most amount of progress you've lost before due to forgetting to save?

    For Pokémon, every 5 minutes XD. But I normally do it after every major battle

    I like being able to save manually, so then if I do something dumb I'm not stuck with my decision :sweat: I save after anything that I wouldn't want to lose, or before anything that looks hard, so quite frequently.

    I save before and after important battles and after particularly hard parts, and after getting valuable Pokémon/items.

    I do it a different amount for each challenge I try.
    No save run: The only saves never happen. Even when the game asks for it, I don't save ever, unless it's automatically. It's called a no-save run for a reason. This is mainly for games that can be completed shortly.
    Nuzlocke: Once after every major battle. Otherwise, there's really no point in doing it. I just do it because I don't want to lose all that progress when I leave the game.
    Battle run: After every single battle I do, I save. Whether it be wild or not, I have to save. It gets annoying, but it's okay for shiny-hunting, which I still don't do.
    Rush mode: One save, one chance. Other than that, no more chances at saving in the game. I mainly do this in Pokémon runs, but I have tried in other games.
    Other than that, I currently have no save challenges behind my back.

    I save more often than I probably should cause every time I see something even remotely important or dangerous, I quickly save and then continue. After said important part, I quickly save again.
    I started doing this after I accidentally killed Kyogre in my first Sapphire playthrough and I didn't save right before the battle. T_T

    I generally prefer manual save because I know when the game is being saved and I can control it. Usually for Pokémon, after a while I usually think to myself hey now would be a good time to save. In other things, like Subspace Emissary on SSBB or Legend of Zelda virtual console, I save after every level I complete, and after clearing a room in a dungeon to preserve hearts.

    I do it just before turning it off most days. Though I also save before trying for a legendary or shiny hunting one.

    Usually in Pokémon, I save whenever I'm done playing for that time or whenever I'm going to leave it for a while when I think about doing something else.

    On emulators I save a lot more often lol.

    Man I used to save so often lol. Nowadays I find myself playing for an hour or two before I save the game (like with Let's Go, I've noticed) since I get so distracted and forget. Before I'd be a lot more wary of lost data so I would save very often (probably every 10-15 minutes), which seems like it has died down a lot. Still, I prefer to hit the save button at least once every 30 minutes to one hour....if I can remember to \o/

    Depends on the game. If it’s a really challenging one where a single mistake could result in hours of lost time, I save obsessively. If it’s a game where the penalty for error is pretty small, I often forget to save until I turn it off (like Pokémon.)

    Depends on the game really, if is a game like Pokémon where you can save pretty much whenever you want I do it more frequent. If is games like some RPGs where you can only save in certain areas I save whenever I reach them, if I'm grinding the level up in those I usually return pretty often to avoid losing a lot of progress.

    I honestly just prefer to do it myself, that way the autosaves won't screw me over.
