If your data is in memory only, crashing will revert to the latest save, which could be forever ago.

But you wouldn’t know right?

[-] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 4 points 4 days ago

Nope

It could have happened a dozen times already.

That's why you walked into the room and forgot why you came in there.

That would require data to be saved.

If any such thing happened, it would be seemless.

It depends on which data is saved and what methods are used. Maybe it was able to use a partial write. Or maybe your position was saved, but your memory wasn't, and your mind had to fill in the blanks.
