Once, I lost MONTHS of progress on a zelda game. It was terrible.
The worst thing about these experiences is that you don't get over the shock for hours, even IF the thing you lost is returned.
In the case of losing something forever that you have to start from the beginning, there is just nothing worse.
I know what you mean...
I had a Casio that I programmed in..(It's broken beyond repair now, cause I dropped it in the toilet.
)
I was making a game called School Escape, and I was actually having fun making it.
I was almost done, an it took me around 5 days.
Then, one day, my big brother, Yeong, erased the program by resetting! ( Don't worry there is a twist)
I was so mad at him, I didn't talk to him for a while. The next day, he had my Casio at him, so I screamed at him to give it back.
But, this is what got me; he had a different Casio,not mine, and had reseted it. I was so happy i didn't waste 5 days, I actually cried
So, I know how you feel boot2490
