    You absolutely don't have to, although AWS encrypts everything with AES-256 and only you as the account owner can access your data inside S3. You know they have to comply with a fuckton of legal and government regulations in order to maintain the trust they have with other huge billion-dollar companies who also wouldn't trust external companies with their data.

    They also have many options to encrypt your data with your own keys (customer managed keys) and that way, AWS has absolutely no idea what your data is since they won't have the key to decrypt anything. Or you can encrypt whatever it is yourself and upload onto S3, that way you don't have to worry at all since the data is encrypted before it even reaches their service.

    I know I might sound like I'm shilling for them but as someone who uses Glacier Deep Archive myself, I store all my old photos, video tapes, and memories onto there, that way I am preserving them for lifetime, and I don't have to worry about losing them even ten years down the line and If I have to download them again, I can do that from anywhere in the world. It's just one of the greatest benefits of the cloud. It's laughable how little it costs too.

    I rewatch Vikings and House every single year, it's almost a tradition at this point.

    Fandom sucks, I hated when they bought GameFaqs. Thankfully there haven't been any major chances that I'm aware of, but the website itself is cluttered and terrible.

    Very insightful thread! I didn't know tapes were still being developed upon..

    AWS provides Glacier, which is a deep archival storage service, ridiculously cheap and almost zero chance of losing your data since AWS takes multiple backups of it on their data center.

    It's perfect for a cold storage and minimal retrieval, and unlike tapes, Glacier can retrieve data instantly if needed too, although that would incur some cost.

    Over time I think glacier would be an excellent choice rather than investing in hardware yourself, because you don't have to worry about losing your data, nor maintaining it, nor you must worry about the hardware, where to store it in your garage etc. You have no overhead if you use glacier, so I think it's a great permanent archiving format.

    Thank you for your generosity :D I didn't really expect this to happen, but now what you mention it, Necrosmith and Payday 2 look fine as well. I hope I am not asking for too much!

    Yakuza 4 is insanely good although not a good place to start the series without any knowledge of the previous games. I totally recommend checking out Yakuza 0 and starting from there.

    I played The Outer Worlds thanks to the game pass but didn't like it at all. Overall, I think it's a decent bundle if you really want these games. I'm personally only interested in Yakuza 4 and $12 is bit too much for me, so it's a skip.
