also made a project backup because i haven't done that in 7 months lol
it's not as bad as it sounds, because i've got google drive syncing it up all the time even if i don't do a manual backup i still have the cloud version that i can actually rollback files with if something gets fucked up, and i also have a copy of it on my laptop that syncs with the cloud version.
so even if something devastating happened to my PC or one of my drives or something it's still fine.
and in addition to the two mentioned above, cloud storage and laptop, i also have the backups i manually make placed in both of those places as well as in two different hard drives, my SSD, and a flash drive. there is no way i'm losing this game lol.
