Computers DO randomly crash.
But you are pretty right, the thing is that my machine is shit. I ventilate the thing almost every day, but my coolant fan is about to die. While it still seems to be sufficient normally, I used to speed up my processors often when I wanted to play some CPU eating games - now I won't even dare, since it's a sure death for it. Moreover, my bro thinks that some of my hardware works not really like it should - he failed to identify where exactly is the bug, but he said that it is pretty much why I keep getting random BSODs. Seeing that the whole thing is shitty enough, I decided to just scrap this computer and buy a new one.
But the problem is that I am a poor man.
One of my mates who I introduced DoomRL to actually savescums SO MUCH that he created a batch file to backup and restore his save files.
Meh. Should do that too.
What shouldyour mate try next is to learn how to save/load in the middle of the game. Since the game cannot do that itself(yet), he will have to go the way of messing up with DooM RL memory. Like, dump the whole memory in a text file and when the need arises swap the current memory with what you got in that text file. I doubt he will actually succeed(I actually doubt that I will), but if he will, I will personally award him with a Savescummer badge, lol.
