 I believe it will be very frustrating for new players that don't save
 before the chicken encounter, and have to repeat the whole chicken
 preparation part again if they lose to the parrot.

 I think this is one of two places in the entire game where an autosave
 would be much appreciated. It would go in slot0.

 I believe the steps to do this enhancement would be:
 1. Prevent the user from saving to slot0 (both in game and gmm), i.e.,
 reserve it for autosave. So the in-game saving/loading (0-4) would now
 save/load to 1-5.

 2. Have the game autosave when entering the parrot room. Ideally, the
 autosave logic would be made more complex so that it only saves under the
 exact/best conditions when the user is doing the parrot chicken game (user
 has sent the hot chicken mustard/pureed, and its in the succ queue), but I
 think just having the game autosave everytime the player enters the parrot
 room is sufficient.

 If this seems worth while and not too low of a priority then I can do step
 1, but I wouldn't be able to do step 2 (the logic for the autosave).
