During the last few days, I've downloaded and archived a selection of my favourite games from GOG.com to my local harddisk drive. Over 2TBs of data! Now, I'm copying everything to my external NAS device. Unfortunately, this only runs on Gigabit ethernet, so it's going to take a while.

Backups are important! 😉

I'm happy to say that @StopKillingGames is against the age verification laws that are passing in various locations recently!

Games like Urban Dead are shutting down because they cannot comply with such laws, like the Online Safety Act, and this makes preservation projects harder to do legally, while requiring collection of personal sensitive data just to access something that shouldn't know your real identity.

That's awesome news!

Hey @StopKillingGames how about also doing a citizens initiative against this kind of bullshit censorship and governmental overreach?
