Anyone have any cool stories of their flash carts dying or data becoming corrupted?

You know what I mean... Hopefully.
I had worked on a song for 2-weeks straight on a 64M ems cart before it became corrupted. This was before I figured out how to back up savs on an ems cart.

Let me translate this for the non-chip people.
"Anyone have any cool stories of their flash carts dying or data becoming corrupted?"
-Translates to-
"Any one have any cool stories on how they successfully murdered a family?"
You're a sick person.

Pretty sure we have a thread for this already.
I thought this was going to be a compo challenge thread

I had a song that died once, and didn't have the patience to reconstruct it exactly, so I just took some motifs from it and composed a new version. It went from "It's nice to have new things sometimes" to "This is why we can't have new things"

I am terribly used to data being corrupted. it's a big part of the fun for me now. the danger. the unease. the risk. I mean it's art. you can remake art.

I've been making music in trackers since I was about 14 or 15, I've never had any major data loss. My secret? Treat your gear well and back shit up often.

We should start a comp called "wasn't there a comp for that?"
On which each song has a pretty clear concept that could've come from a comp that was never actually done.

Dude, you are a genius.
Also I didn't really get the tittle, last time I checked. nuzlocke was something to do with beating pokemon with some limitations or something.

I lost my entire track "Your Stars at Dawn" (which is on my Victory Lapse EP.) It was pretty much finished. Luckily I had recorded a demo version of it, so I reprogrammed the entire track by listening to the demo version and trying to figure out how I made each instrument patch.
It was super tedious.

this should absolutely happen. that's such a great idea.

It should.
But it would be a really cruel irony if this comp should fail
