Touch Night Talk: Lose archives

Only Teacher Xiao Luo is still so festive

Some time ago, a tragic incident occurred. One night, my desktop computer suddenly got stuck, couldn't move, and couldn't even use the restart key combination. I thought it was just a general crash, didn't care too much, and pressed the power button to try to restart. Unexpectedly, the problem was more serious than I thought, and it didn't turn on at all. After some inspection, it was found that there was a problem with the hard disk, and the problem was not small. Because the hard disk that broke down happened to be the system disk, I didn't even have a chance to back up my data.

In fact, at this point, I still didn't care too much. After all, this PC and several of the hard disks in it are old, and the system disk has long reached the point where it needs to be cleaned up every day. So I usually don't use it to work, only for light entertainment, watch videos, play some indie games that don't eat configuration or run old games on the PC side, and large files and even game files will not be placed in the system disk. In short, there is nothing in the system disk that will affect the important content of the three-dimensional dimension, and the most troublesome thing is only the automatic deposit of the game archive. But save well, which serious game this year has not yet Steam Cloud?

So I got a new hard drive, reinstalled the system and Steam, and downloaded a few games I used to play. The Steam cloud is still trustworthy, and when you open it, you can still play happily.

Well...... Except for Dark Souls 3. Its archive is completely gone.

Near the end, the "last" is really the end

I remember when I found out that the archive couldn't be retrieved, and then I found out that it didn't support Steam Cloud: Was this teasing me? I haven't seen a few indie games that don't support Steam Cloud this year. Some big manufacturers' games do not support Steam cloud, but people do their own clients, and the client can often be archived in the cloud, and it is always impossible to have nothing.

Some people may ask, as far as the PC version of "Dark Souls 3" is difficult to say online environment, is it not a basic operation to manually back up the archive at any time? However, as a severe online phobia patient, I've been running offline for a long time and haven't even thought about backing up.

I cried to my friends about all kinds of new hatreds and old hatreds. The other works in the series I bought the PS version, only 3 generations are special cases, all because the friends sweetly said that they would be the brother of the sun, in the end, they either had no time or the net was too bad, only the invading dark spirit never let me pigeon. In the end, it was not Zhou Mu who ran by himself, and the oath props brushed themselves... Now it's good, even the archive is lost! If unified into the PS platform, as long as the cloud archive does not collapse, members can endure, and the trophy can be neatly arranged!

"Get a PS version at a discount and start all over again..." Some other friends advised me. For many "soul" players, running weekly and opening new files are commonplace and have long been accustomed to it.

But I looked at the title page that only left "Start a New Game" and still felt sad. The loss of the save is not only a problem of game progress, but also the progress of my file is not the main problem, because I have taken all the achievements, and now the time and energy are spent on other games, if it is not to check the save, I may not think about opening it for a long time.

So, the main problem is what I said in the previous night talk about pinching faces, I play the game protagonist as an original character (OC). Some people play action RPGs, I play character cultivation, although the process is no different, the difference in mentality is still quite large. When chatting with friends, I always say", "That little knight in my family is very cute, a faith warrior with just enough INTELLIGENCE", "The kind of person who has no concept of marriage, and he is scared to regret it when he is finished", as if talking about the puppy at home.

When the stall is still there, even if you don't play, you will occasionally go shopping to see the remains of the previous generation

So, the more I thought about losing my save, the sadder I became, because the longer it took me, the more I realized that I was losing not only the progress of the game, but also the characters I created. All the way to now, I don't know how many times I didn't care to joke about "hahaha, dead again", but I never thought that he would really disappear in the way of losing the archive, leaving no trace at all - IF THE NPC, at least you can see you in the new week!

This feeling is too illusory, forced to realize that no matter what you pin on the game characters, no matter how much effort and affection you put into them, they are just fragile data that can be erased at any time.

I tried to repair the broken hard drive and tried to recover the data inside, but it didn't work. Only a few screenshots and videos from social networking sites remind me of what the little knight was like. Of course I can open a new gear, my face can be re-pinched, Zhou Mu can run again, and the equipment can be re-taken (although there are some things I really don't want to brush again), but none of this can remedy or even replace the previous characters. I just don't want to watch any Dark Souls 3 video right now, and every time I watch it evokes PTSD.

"It's like my character is really dead." I said to my friends.

"He went to pass the fire." Friends comforted me.

Alas, it was a fire extinguisher, I thought to myself, the little knight is a fire extinguisher. The first fire and that world are coming to an end, and data and the things that carry it will one day disappear... In a sense, maybe this can also be regarded as the "true ending" of the game.
