I AM THE BIGGEST IDIOT
I have two files I've been playing through on Fire Emblem Awakening. My original file with Reyn the male tactician on Normal (which I beat the game with) and my newer file with Robin the female tactician on Hard. I've been switching back and forth between them so I can get the male and female tactician S-rank supports.
A week ago, I accidentally saved over the Robin file. I berated myself for my stupidity for a few hours, then started a new game with a new female Robin. It took me 4 or 5 days to get "caught up" to my current chapter, but I did it, despite probably having better things to do with my time.
Anyway... GUESS WHAT I DID THIS MORNING? THAT'S RIGHT, I SAVED OVER THE ROBIN FILE AGAIN.
I could blame it on getting zero hours of sleep last night (long story), but I think the real reason is "I am really dumb and cannot video games". Either that, or my 3DS is cursed. (I've never saved over the wrong file on any of my other FE games once, let alone twice.) The worst part is that I am too tired to properly hate myself at the moment. Perhaps tomorrow I will be able to muster up the correct amount of self-loathing.
So now I'll have to start over on hard with a female tactician. AGAIN. Third time's a charm, right? I will also be backing up the data on my SD card periodically. I guess that's the one good thing about having a digital copy of the game.
PS - Thank you to everyone who gave me kind words on my post about Callie. She seems to be doing better now. I know that the kidney failure could make her health go downhill quickly at any time, but at least for now, she's (relatively) healthy and happy.
