      Typing them back in after the apocalypse will take a while, but you’ll be able to impress all the other wasteland mutants with a working copy of Half Life Alyx.

        Sure, but what if there’s a fire!? My favorite game is Ocarina of Time. I don’t want to risk losing it, so I memorized the binary digits that comprise the code. Can’t be too careful!

            Fully agree. This is why I’ve made multiple children. Then I train them on the binary digits the way other parents teach shapes, numbers, and the ABCs. Can’t be too careful, it’s best to have multiple backups

        I laminate my punch cards for longevity. Wouldn’t want them breaking down.

              Nonsense. I got some high quality copper from a merchant I fully trust and I bet this will last forever.

              I suspect corrosion-resistant steel alloys haven’t been around long enough to prove themselves in that regard XD

                I can already see them rusting down by the harbour. Meanwhile people still find bits of ceramics left from ages last on the beaches.

                So if you bury your clay tablets in a treasure chest it should be good.

                Corrosion-resistent is not the same as non-corrosive.

                I suppose gold as a noble metal would be stable over a long period, as it’s non-reactive. But certain kinds of acids can still dissolve it, unlike ceramic

      Print them on clay tablets. Those will stand the test of time, especially with the right level of error correction. (Sorry for the ad cancer - I didn’t want to promote a specific brand or spend forever finding a good review site.)

        Can confirm, clay tablets can last thousands of years to archive your grievances data.
