    Do you enjoy your biometric data being uploaded to a bajillion companies for intrusive advertising targeting - and likely also open to the higher bidder after the next data breach? And of course can’t rule out insurance companies getting their hands on this in the future (never assume the pre existing condition denial ban of obamacare will be there if/when the republicans eventually gut it.)

    Edit: it’s been a rough week :-/




  • Most games never hit anywhere near that, but some large open world rpgs like Skyrim track the location of every single object in the game world. Like you can drop a piece of cheese on the bottom left corner of the map, come back 500 hours later, and it’ll still be there. now imagine all of the objects you’re buying and selling and manipulating over those hundreds of hours. Now add in a shit ton of script mods and other stuff that may add even more objects. And add in all of the quest data and interaction data that gets saved etc etc, and your save file can easily hit multiple gigabytes, with each file approaching 200mb.
