Save/Load capability in real life: If you could do anything what would you do?

[KeithA45]

Rape. In and out and nobodies the wiser. KIDDING!

Yes, there would be a very many prince of persia moments too I guess.
I would also add:
-buy some cake and eat it over and over and over and over again.
-say really innappropriate things at every oppurtunity (but wait, I already do that...)
-as I have exams coming up I'd save on the day of an exam, amuse myself until the answers are published, then go back and ace the exam.

Rape may sound terrible, but when you think about it once you loaded you'd have never done it, and only held the memories. If you can literally undo it in every way, is it wrong to do and undo it? <- for all you sociologists and theorists out there

And cake sounds good, but remember your physical body goes EXACTLY back to the way it was meaning that you wouldn't have the cake in your stomach or even the "full" feeling anymore. Although I suppose the memory of eating cake is enjoyable enough...

 

[Ctrl-Alt-Elite]

id probably bugger it up... by which i mean every single one of my saves have a impending painful death

 

[Slight]

Surely the most realistic auto-save/load is Groundhog Day.

Now if only he could figure out how to reach the next damn checkpoint!

But wait, after you load, all your memories are gone, because you are not the third-person entity controlling you. You are you. So therfore you could not ace the tests. Sorry guys. But you could try and do crazy stuff, but you wouldn't remember doing it, so you wouldn't remember failing and trying again, and you wouldn't remember loading, so you would be anxious to try it again. So you wouln't do it. In theory it would mean immortality (sweet!) or retrying things until you suceed. I guess the question is: are you concious of your ability to load and save, knowing in advance that you can do it, or is it something that happens on the spur of the moment. Discuss.

I love being the logical rain on your fantastical parade.

(P.S. The most awesome gaming thing would be cheat codes. (God mode, yeah baby yeah!) But then I guess the same logical problems of how concious you were of your abilities once again arises. Hmmmm....)

With this ability I would have all the correct answers in class and exam as well. More fun activities include being able to party without the hangover and impressing everyone with my wicked ability to predict the future.

 

[KeithA45]

Alright I guess now's as good a time as any for my ideas/suggestions:

1) Whenever I'm depressed I'd just load a different save I made right as one of my exs and I were about to have sex

2) Building off #1, suggest different ideas every time to see what crazy things we can try

3) Save every few minutes and hit on EVERY girl I see on campus. I'd load a previous state if they respond negatively, and if they respond positively? See #1 and #2 above

4) Someone already said something similar before, but I'd cut down my reading time for books and the internet significantly

5) Win every argument I'll ever get in

6) Spoil game endings for hardcore fanboys

...and I'll think of some more later

 

[Datalord]

The obvious choice, quicksave, slaughter everyone i don't like, see how things turn out, if i don't like it, quickload

or something like that

You must have overlooked:

...you can save anytime and load anytime instantaneously and remember everything that happened, but no one else does...

So yes, you are aware that you are quick-saving and quick-loading and remember everything that happened between those times

Hahaha awesomely put

Those awkward times you ask someone out and they say no...quick load, and no one's the wiser.

My first thought exactly

 

[ssgt splatter]

You'd basically be like Nicolas Cage in the movie where he could see 2 minutes into the future. I forget what it was called. So yeah. Basically a superhero.

The movie's called NEXT

 

[ssgt splatter]

I would rob a bank, see how quickly the police would respond and the amount of force they would bring, load 3 weeks earlier to get the proper tools/guns/henchmen and win out over the cops.

 

[ThreeWords]

act stupid to the point of suicide, then reload at every mistake. End result is to appear like the most lucky idiot there has ever been (people who know me will suspect I'm already doing this)
also, I'd live my life as above, and then live it again using all the knowledge and wisdom I'd collected and live life again, but better. I might also patent a few simple scientific advances as well..

 

[arcstone]

I'd join some random pop quiz show where you can win money.

 

[rottenbutter]

Helllllooooo World Series of Poker!

 

[Phyroxis]

Hurl myself out of a helicopter GTA style.

 

[UpcountryGecko]

If I was serious with my ability I would wait until there was another triple rollover in the lottery. What I would more than likely do is live fast die young multiple times with the comfort that if I overdose I can always come back and live until I overdose again.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

Kiss girls I like and see what happens next

Do the dieing thing

Make my myself look ridiculously cool with future knowing shit

quick save/load online RPGs and FPSs. Haha!

Live a full life.
