Yes you should buy a UPS as soon as possible. The cost of a UPS is hardly 50 dollars. But if your hardware is damaged, that may cost you more than $100 to repair, you will also loose all your imp files. I would strongly advise you to have a power backup in priority.

Yeah, I already got it. For the record I have 2 UPS now actually. It was back then when I was 20 that I never had UPS because I couldn't afford it then.

That's really awsome as you don't have to give extra space for the UPS. The price is little bit costlier though. 😊 Get back to the topic, have you ever been in a situation where you are just about to save the game, but due to sudden hang of the system all your progress is lost. That had happened quite often when I had i3 3rd gen processor which was outdated for most of the high end games. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happened to me at least 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Not that often actually. I tend to mostly play multiplayer games so that means I don't really have to manually save my games too often. And when I do play single-player games, I don't really have different save files so overriding the old save files doesn't affect me at all.

Heatman Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 You actually have a good strategy towards how you make your game saves and it's really good. I think I'm going to copy a little bit of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Once back in 2000 or so, I played about 14 hours of GT2 and almost overheated my PlayStation and didn't get to save. I was in the wrong for not saving all day, but I was pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When initially I fell in love with NFS series, I too played almost 10 hours a day. I remember the excitement playing those games then, that has been lost over time. Such nostalgic moments. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if you ask me now, I would give the same answer as yours. There was a time when I loved playing games, and was really addicted exploring new worlds. That interest and enthusiasm has slowly eradicated with time. Now a days, I only play around 4 to 5 hours in the weekend. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
