@gamingonlinux There's absolutely nothing wrong with save scumming. Nobody should criticize trivial things like that.

I've been save scumming my whole life, but lately I've been enjoying holding myself accountable for my decisions and performance. Everything that happens in the game feels like it carries more significance, and I'm having fun experiencing the pathos of narratives gone awry.

It depends on the game tho. I still scum on games I care less about.
