Even then the fact that the gm analog(video game level designer) tends to be the one deciding where it is appropriate for a checkpoint rules out one.  The other fits perfectly to a T because the player can usually use a cheat code as often as they want with the game doing nothing to prevent a player from reusing the cheat code every encounter/room. That quick ding ding breather in no way results in a round 12 boxer being the equal to their performance in round 1.  We know that because fights eventually end and boxers can't go on forever. You lose the ability to "do a right hook" as you did with all your everything in round one when you are now in round twelve throwing your umpteenth with sweat in your eyes an hour later. The chest code inspired design of short rests does not analogize well to real world activities because we aren't living in a d&d based reality or some cultivation genre work of fiction.</blockquote>
