In video games: A process of overriding automatic saves by manually saving your game at points that may prove to be challenging or likely to lead to a death or a game over screen.
Save cycling can also be used to manipulate RNG in order to leave the player with a more favorable item pickup or enemy encounter, and is often done multiple times in a row.
Most importantly, this is not an intended use of the game-save feature and normally requires an exploit such as unlinking auto-save data (often a cloud save), so it cannot be automatically overwritten and requires manual intervention.

I just couldn't beat the third boss after going through the whole level again, so I save cycled just before the encounter and did it on my third try!
Save cycling was my only option to get the ultra rare spank emote; it took 100 tries, but I got the Platinum trophy!

Get the themstrural cycle mug.A philosophical concept created by Ryn Ramz in an effort to explain the arguing methods of Chris Sanchez. The cycle can be dissolved down to this:
1. Make an argument
2. Get Proven Wrong.
3. Say "no"
4. Say "but..." and then present a new argument or arbitrary fact.
5. Repeat
Not to be confused with the historical revisionist concept of The Keegan Cycle invented in an attempt to defame keegan by the notorious Chris Sanchez.
