Worse is after you explain it to them, they still look at you like "dude you lost it".

LOL That is so true

So true, even when I give examples. My wifes younger brother came over and used my PS4 once. Np right? Well I thought so too till I saw a open pack of gushers sitting next to the controller. I picked it up to find all kinds of stucky crap on the bottom. Buttons were also sticking as well.
Luckily I am one of those guys who is not afraid to take shit apart, so I disassembled the controller and cleaned the gunk from the buttons myself. Works good as new, but damn if I didnt nearly have an aneurysm when I saw it.
And of course, even with these examples, I am the crazy one lol.

Oi, I feel you two. I once let my sisters play on my N64 without washing their hands. Didn't think about it but later on they had a lot of soda and now the buttons are permanently shitty. They have a bit of a stick to them when you press them which can cause delay x~x |
Have a similar case but with a PS2 controller.The right stick is eternally sticky.That is one reason why I always feel apprehensive when there is a visitor at home and they want to use my gaming devices

I hate playing survival games because I'm afraid to use any of my resources, ammo, etc.
I played through RE4 thinking I needed to conserve ammo when there was always plenty. I played through all of the first Dead Space using my standard handgun weapon because I didn't want to use my big weapons in case a big battle came.
Survival games are too stressful for me.

| Wright said: On shooters, I always have the need to be constantly reloading whenever there's a small window of safeness. Even if I just shot one bullet, I hit reload and let it flow. I remember there was a game that heavily punished that by removing the whole magazine bullet count instead of individual bullets. Ugh, hard times. |
Another reason to hate the Tomb Raider Reboot. After loading, weapons start with as many bullets loaded as the the stock magazine capacity of the weapon, so the first thing I had to do is to reload all the weapons I had upgraded the magazine capacity because programmers were so stupid that didn't consider that someone would do it.
OT: Saving after doing the smallest of the things in RPGs to avoid losing progress. Example:
Enter a new city -> saving -> sleep at inn -> saving -> buy new stuff -> saving -> did I save? -> saving -> talk with NPCs -> saving -> why not save again? -> saving
Well, I collect all of the things. I have to force myself to use any items not readily replenished. I need to remove all fog of war, all of it. In open world I need to either ignore all sidequests and focus on the main quest exclusively OR clear all the optional stuff before continuing the story.

I remember there was a game that heavily punished that by removing the whole magazine bullet count instead of individual bullets. Ugh, hard times. On RPGs, I always have the feel that my party isn't fully restored unless I sleep in an inn, or somewhere else. Just using potions to maximize my HP doesn't cut it, for some reason. |
I press my reload button constantly, just to make sure there is always a full clip. I just have this feeling that I'll die if I have 29 bullets loaded instead of 30. In one of the Borderlands games, there was a skill you could take with one of the characters where you got some kind of boost with less bullets in your clip but I just couldn't do it. I tried it, hated it, and spec'd out to something else.
I hoard consumables. I almost never use them, other than health potions, which I also use sparingly. Everything else, I never use. I end up with dozens, perhaps even hundreds of consumables in the bank.
I hate loading screens so much. On PC, I have a ball I keep in my desk that I throw at the wall while I'm waiting. There is a 'strike zone' and I try to get in at least a full inning.

I find myself saving every 30 seconds in games that don't have an autosave feature.
