erbello: I'm not sure if this is an Assemblage or a Voodoo Doll, and I'm afraid to ask at this point.
solseb is utilizing a newly re-discovered method for long-distance teleportation (which has grown increasingly popular within the Polish immigrant community of the United Kingdom).

matterbandit must avoid any attempt to physically (and/or mentally) resist during this initial (and highly critical) phase of the rather intricate cell replication process. If this procedure is interrupted in any way, shape, or form, the consequences are quite unsightly!

I'm glad a handful of Goglodytes are showing some love for The Axis Unseen. :)

Lifthrasil: Archivers assemble! Aim at archiving all assets!
"A" is for Archiving! This fits Doc's message perfectly. :)

"A" is for Assemblage Art... thanks for creating that art for me! :D It's the perfect fusion between an homage and a threat. LOL!

Not in, as I already run nightly backups of all my GOG, Humble Bundle and itch.io games. They are fully automated because this is the only way to make sure I do not miss any game, nor any update.

These are currently using 5,3TB of a 12TB dedicated hard drive. Total disk usage is at 9,1TB, the difference being made by DRM-free games coming from other stores, extra content (manuals and stuff), translation archives, and native Linux packages I built for some of these installers.

Palestine: (....)
I came to the UK from Palestine :)) and I know more Arabs here than Poles, even exchanged houses with an Iraqi and Syrian Couple, there were prayers on walls saying that A is the greatest of the Gods, so I asked what the other gods are and he couldn't say. When I was on my way to Israel, I asked one Jew on the plane, what the name of God is, and he said that it depends on which God you call. I am calling the God of Love, JaHuWaH, and he said that name sounds about right. So I asked what the other names were and he said it depends on what I am praying for.
So I pray for love for those given days.... and giveaways..... : D and a river would be better than a wall....

My pleasure, growing in TBs, the limit grows with the collection

Marduk, Odin, Zeus, hasn't he heard of them?

Zeus and Poseidon.... games worth backups and Emperor, Pharaoh, and all these old gods.....
Suddenly in Rome 750 BC twins were dropped, Latinization took the wast land including ancient Romania, Legend goes that Romulus was the son of Mars, but people would tell anything in those days

We also have Ra, Isis or Osiris. Even a little Thor :) And, of course, the Olympian Gods taken together.

How about Kratos https://www.gog.com/en/game/god_of_war
and Hercules (semi-god, but still)
https://www.gog.com/en/game/disneys_hercules

That makes me sad we don't have Age of Mythology here yet...

Thank you for another great giveaway, Doc!
And thank you for reminding me once again that I need to backup my collection...
I've already downloaded most of my games, but I'm still missing some of the very big, and important, ones... and I would like to have more than a single copy anyway. Also some non-GOG stuff, including all those mods, map packs etc. collected over the years, that I will never play...
The problem for me is just to scrape together some money to buy enough storage space. I'm thinking about a 6 TB device, that should do.

mrkgnao: As someone who has worked in the industry (on the SDD side of things), I can safely say that all brands are more or less the same. I simply buy the cheapest at the time I need it, which for me always ends being either Western Digital or Seagate,
I've heard good things about Western Digital, that would be my choice ideally. The cheapest here is Toshiba.
I have a 12 TB HDD. Making backups almost every day, but the updates are coming out faster than I can download them :)
Not in. Waiting for specific letters.
avatar
mrkgnao: I backup all my games --- gog, steam, epic --- fairly religiously on an external 14TB HDD. And I encourage others to do so too.

Nice idea for a giveaway. Judging by my wishlist, I am looking forward to B, C, D, F, G, H, R and V.

pawel-t: 14TB? Dammit, that's something! Wow :)
14TB? That's nothing!
Don't forget to backup the backup! And backup the backup of the backup!
At least 42TB is necessary my friend!

Haha, you are right. Backup is important. I don't want to steal Doc's idea but maybe it's worth to start some nice topic on "How does your home lab looks like" or "What is your NAS setup". Something like that.
Not here for the giveaway but does anyone know a way to tell how big of an external you would need for your whole collection? I had been slacking off and just lost my original back up to a TSA agent.
