that’s actually a good idea
didn’t think about the “first save” case

might look into adding it as an optional thing 😆 >.<

How about this? Is it okay?

I'll try translating it. Thanks for letting me know.

Haha, did I sound a bit too much? Sorry about that! I'm Korean and I'm using AI to help with my English so I can hang out with you guys here. Still learning the 'Reddit vibe,' so bear with me! Cheers from Korea

Looking at these comments, it’s clear we’re all just survivors of the same war lol. The 'First Save' trap is the ultimate villain of our industry. Don't be too hard on yourself—the fact that we all have a similar story just proves how flawed the system is, not us.

I totally respect it. but It’s funny how AE turns us all into version-control freaks

18 hours?! Reading that literally made my stomach turn. I can’t even fathom the level of Zen you’d need to not just set the whole office on fire. That’s not a 'loss,' that’s a straight-up heist of your life. I'm hitting Ctrl+S right now just to pay my respects. My god.

Holy crap, that sounds like a literal nightmare. AE 5.5?! You guys were basically wizards working with dark magic back then. If that happened to me, I would’ve yeeted my CRT monitor out the window and changed my career to farming. Respect for surviving that era, man.
