Right. I remember playing final fantasy 7 in the 90s. I softlocked myself by being underpowered for a boss, but unable to grind.
Turned it off, and when I turned it back on 5 years later, I was in a different area. No idea when/how J got there, but clearly I went back and did SOMETHING, but now had no idea where to go, or what to do.
I’m not starting over, but also, I’m not going to figure this out.
So now we’re 20 years later, and I have no idea where that memory card even is.

Picked up Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story like 10 years later after giving up on it as a kid and had NO fucking idea of what I was doing. I remember bitching about the hard as fuck train minigame/mini-boss fight you have to do (perfectly, mind you) that I thought I couldn’t beat for the life of me. But I got back and was in a completely different area, not knowing how to leave or get back to where I needed to be.
I really need to beat that game, it was my first M&L side game…
