Have you ever almost (or actually have) FUBARED up a computer game?

[WHU Independent]

I thought I did last night. I had to take some new skills for my Void Knight in The Last Epoch - and I realised my unstoppable spinning death machine that never run outta manna, was leaking manna like a sieve. And I was getting killed - alot.

I thought I fubared it and would have to respect - which I REALLY hate doing - but I managed to save it by fiinding a weapon (by luck) that after crafting, would boost my manna regenerationby 505. Phew - all good.

I also stopped playing Fallout 4 a few years back, I was massively into the game and was in New Vegas doing well - then I stopped playing for a year. When I when back i had no idea how to play the game or where I was in certain quests, so I bit the bullet and started a new - which was a really good experience.

Also - Way back when on the BBC B I over wrote a save of Elite on the BBC that was one fight away from the end. I started that again to and loved it. That said, I bought Elite Dangerous on Steam a while ago as it was only £2:19 - and couldn't get past the training missions. Old age eh?

My cousin and I discovered a cheat code when typing in random digits into the password screen in Theme Park that would give you just over 1 billion in cash.

This was shortly after it came out and we had seen other codes in game magazines that gave $50m but nothing even close to this.

The only issue with it was that you owed the bank $400m and you couldn't just press a button to clear the entire debt.

I still know the code

Trying to load a heavily-modded version of Skyrim (600-hour-plus save) on a new PC.

No chance.

Back in the day, during the war I recall playing Final Fantasy VII on the PS1 and was well on my way to greatness.
I recall being pretty deep into disc 2 around 65-70 hours in, when I came home from school, I found that my third-party memory card had just decided to wipe its contents clean, in a random act.
I was absolutely gutted, but I had been warned by friends to never buy the cheaper third-party memory cards because they would do exactly what they did. So incredibly unreliable - it was like a gamble every day. They were shocked I managed to get 65-70 hours play before the thing wiped my saves.
I might have saved 5 quid on the original purchase, but it cost me so much more.
Too little too late, but I have never purchased a third-party peripheral for any of my consoles since that day back in the late summer of 1998.

Bloody hell - I nearly did it last night in Last Epoch. I was clearing out my loot chests, making some space, selling the unwanted stuff. I did it for over 100 items then went back adventuring.

I noticed immediately something was off. My mana was depleting severely, in fact in ran out during a boss fight. This never happens due to my kit. Then I noticed bolts of lightning were appearing and hitting lower level monsters. I checked what item did that and it was my belt - I'd swapped out my originally equipped belt for another by mistake! This would have dire consequences for my build.

I back tracked. I went to my loot chests and had a thorough look through them. Luckily enough I'd presssed the wrong button and swapped out my equipped belt in my loot chests with the another belt.

Phew - I hadn't sold it. That would have been a VERY big drawback if I had.

This copy of Alien Rogue Incursion I downloaded definitely paid for is the buggiest bugger I’ve ever bugged.
