I clicked “save” instead of “load”.
I should have known better than to open a thread entitled “Aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh”.
Ah well, live and learn.
BTW, “Load” and “Save” don’t much resemble one another. You might want to practice this little thing called “reading”, before randomly selecting a button. Unless of course you enjoy coming to message boards to post repetitive nonsense that no one but you cares much about, or understands to what you refer.
Excuse me? And people actually care about any of the other threads here? This is the bbq pit, not some hoity toity upper class tea party forum for polite rich folks. Kindly go shove something long and hard up your ass.
Just want to say that not everyone on the Straight Dope is an insensitive choad.
Sorry about your file, fallom. I’ve done that myself. I find that kicking a chair into kindling doesn’t actually make you feel better, but it is a good story to tell to strangers on anonymous internet message boards. Anyway, if you’ll excuse me, I have a tea party to get to.
BTW, welcome to the Dope.
I believe if you actually look at his/her registration date, Miller, you’ll see that the OP is a seasoned vateran of the dope.
Just thought I’d be an ass.

Just because you CAN say something… that doesn’t necessarily mean you should.
We’re all very sorry for your loss. I’ll even give the eulogy at the funeral for your lost file. But don’t get uppity just because an OP consisting of multiple utterances of “Fuck” doesn’t exactly score points.
If it’s a game, see if you can remap your quick save and quick load keys. I’ve had some that were F8 and F9, not something you want to mess up just seconds before you’re going to die.
SPOOFE: I dont care if the BBQ pit judges dont give me good points. I do care if someone gets mad at me for using the forum as it should be. I do care when they call me illiterate. I can get uppity if I damn well want to.
I dont see how me, with my low post count, bitching about some trivial thing is worse than some other people with several K’s of posts posting useless shit. Dont tell me that that doesnt happen. I know it does. Most of the posts in the BBQ pit are over idiotic things, like an annoying ice cream man or some rowdy kids across the street. If you dont want to see this in the BBQ pit, please direct your concerns to a moderator.
throatshot: But then there are situation where your palms are sweaty, and you cant see straight. You fall down into the Bottomless Pit of Doom ™ and blindly reach for the place where you think quickload key is. BAM! SAVED!
Well, since SPOOFE will be giving the eulogy, how about we give the file (or whatever it was) a proper military burial? I’m sure fallom would appreciate the respect and honor accorded his file at the funeral. Imagine, a 21-gun salute (or whatever), a bugler playing “Taps,” and all of us in military uniform. The pallbearers would bow toward the coffin, and on it would be draped the flag of your choice. How’s that for a funeral? 
Seriously though, I’m not sure that a post consisting almost solely of repeated obscenities will cause us to esteem it highly.

It just isnt the same when the coffin is empy. 
Flamsterette: Like I said before, I dont care if you dont like it. I just want to blow off some steam.
Oops, sorry. Just looked at posts, not at registration. Sorry, fallom. And y’all are being a little harsh on the guy. His OP was insufficiently entertaining, so it’s an excuse to act like a dick to him? Charming.
Whoa, calm down, Cowboy. I’m just trying to hint that, in the Pit, you have every right to post a rant… but everyone else has the right to call your rant lame. Then there’s the risk of the gratuitous insults…
Perhaps the Pit should come with a “Post at your own risk” warning label.
Perhaps it should, SPOOFE. That, or a sign saying: “Abandon hope (of not getting flamed or insulted or made fun of), ye who enter here.”

Or maybe “Do not back up: Severe tire damage”?
I prefer “Caution: May contain nuts.”
I suppose it would be quite tactless to mention the word ‘backup’…
Oh give the guy a break, we’ve all done it. I’ve lost hours of work by overwriting them. Hell, even worse, on one occasion I lost nearly a whole days worth of game play in Medal of Honour when I saved instead of loaded.
above post wasn’t actually aimed at Mangetout, who just happened to walk in front of it as I fired.
I know that people have the right to call me what they want in the pit, do I not have the right to respond?
