    I mean, my local server is the backup plan.

    I can game for days without food or water and only need to emerge to forage like once a week.

    Perhaps even visit the local market for fresh memes, but thats it.

      I have every GB, GBC and NES game ever on a HDD, so don’t worry about me either.

        Oh, right, forgot about the golden era of (Linux) handheld emulators. All the games you mentioned on each one.

          No, retroarch on 13 yo thinkpad and possibly a raspberry pi if needed.

            Thats better, and the more fossy/techy approach to accessible software, what people need, what should be preserved for historians, instead of massive-online-predatory-gambling-“games”.

            This and big tiddy Skyrim mods.

            Doom on the other hand will survive for longer than bacteria (probably for a time also running on bacteria).
            As the Sun starts to dim it will spontaneously install itself and run on the great intergalactic web.

        And the vast majority only those games only take up a fraction of that total spaces.

        But yes, this is how digital shit survives the ages.
