Commentary
- Voltaire with the same sort of maids
- Voltaire again with maids in the background (end of part one)
I'm not sure if the risk of saving over a family member / roommate's save is still that relatable a concern. I don't share a modern system with anyone, but player profiles seem to be pretty universal. Unless everyone's using the same profile for some reason, like maybe some features are profile linked or something, it seems pretty easy to avoid the problem.
This was not the case on something like a Super Nintendo. Yes, it was as simple as remembering which save file was yours, and there probably weren't that many save slots to choose from (a lot of games gave you three per cartridge), but a single slip up while tired, or an accidental button press, and kablammo. You've saved over someone's progress.
Anyway, this isn't really something I thought at all about until I wrote this commentary. I just thought "that's a legitimate concern right there", not questioning what the actual case would likely be with Tedd and Grace's games.
Though, to be fair, the comic takes place in some vague year with various differences in tech. I'd have to sit down and think carefully to actually decide if profiles diminished this concern in-universe. That, and they might have older game systems, SO THERE, IT ALL ADDS UP.
I do find it interesting how easily I took that for granted, though, and how it wasn't that had to not take it for granted once I decided to write about it. Maybe writing with the fingers can make with the brain think good and help it realize stuff.
