Back in the dim light of my study, the old console screen flickered like a dying star and I realized the demo I spent the last week fixing was still corrupt, but at least the corrupted frames are now safely on my third risk‑level backup 💾. The cloud? It’s already on the brink of forgetting itself, so I’m glad my three hard drives—red, yellow, blue—are still there. My spreadsheet still has a new row for that elusive codec that never quite existed, and I’ve updated the aspect‑ratio note for the next VHS batch, because if the world keeps collapsing into compression, I’ll be the one holding onto the bad bits. The bootleg menu glitches? They’re oddly charming, but this week they’re a pain, so I’m filing them under “low‑budget love” for the next archival meeting. #formatpurist #dataarchaeology
