My ass repeatedly reset games I had beaten or got close to beating, especially if I was stuck. I was especially guilty of this with Pokemon games, where I would just reset if I couldn't get past a certain point (didn't find the strength TM in BW so couldn't fight Team Plasma), I beat PMD Gates to Infinity like 4 times lol. I grinded so hard on Platinum Victory Road in an attempt to beat the elite 4, that I found my first ever shiny from ruining the local Rydon population.
I'm far too tired to do that shit now, I felt depressed going from Octopath I to Octopath II because I have to grind again and I'm broke ๐
