Long story short:

Brother is apathetic. He overwrote my TWEWY data due to lack of caring because he didn't ask me if he could play it or if he could save. All he had to do was jump from chapter to chapter (he only cares about the story), but nooooooo. And then he doesn't even have the balls to get very far! He doesn't even care that he overwrote my data nor will he apologize.

Then again, he's high-functioning autistic so he doesn't pick up social cues well, so he doesn't seem to realize that I'm *this* close to killing him.

To prevent that from happening I need more anger management techniques since I have a bad temper when it comes to games and my save data.

Advice/techniques/etc., please. I seriously need help calming down. ><; Don't want to go to jail/get grounded/etc.

Is that supposed to say Bother or Brother?

5 years is enough for anyone? Don't you think?

That's relaxing music, thanks.

I feel better now, thanks a ton!

Better starting going through the game again. *sigh* At least it'll hold me until Monster Hunter Tri.

~~Kill your brother.~~ Why do you even care about your save? Were you still playing the game?
Also, this.

Placeholder signature. Will probably replace this tomorrow.

Yeah, that's why. Just take it easy, and just let him have his way, while telling him that he can't do that again or you'll kick his ass.

This is why, kids, you back up your save data.

It ends.

Just do TWEWY again? If I could find my DS I'd delete my old save and then play it on vthe hardest difficulty from the get go.

Also you may wanna shout at your brother, call him a cunt, etc. He's your brother, not a fragile 2 year old.

Cool story, bro.

Look at it from a cost standpoint. Ask yourself:

How much was the save worth to you?
How much is the save worth to you now?
How did the save help save you time/money?
How much time/money was spent on the save?

If you're not willing to re-do the save, it probably wasn't worth it in the first place. Besides, it'll probably be easier the second time around (unless it's highly luck-based), costing you less time/money.

As for your brother, I'd say take a magnet to his harddrive.

Forgive him. If it happens another time, destroy him.
