moonshineshadow: I am quite happy to stay outside of that future :D

*welcome hug* Have you anything nice planned for the weekend?

toxicTom: The future is fap.... err happening...

I'm not totally against cloud based stuff. I use Google drive to back up stuff or share it between my machines and with other people. But I think people show be more aware about a) the dependencies they create on relying on ISP working and the cloud services themselves b) they are effectively giving their data to other people who might have security leaks or might turn vile in the future.
The stuff I have on GD is always backed up locally too and also it's nothing that would compromise me should it leak.
Of course cloud stuff can be practical. I am not really using it, but I have a server, so I often put files there if I want to transfer them :P
But for games I prefer to have the saves not relying on the internet so that I can even use them for example during holidays without internet.

But the difference between a service like Google Drive, Dropbox or Onedrive (which i personally use) and say the Steam Cloud is that you don't have direct access to your Steam Cloud...
The normal clouds are convenient to use but these for games are not because they're lacking direct control over it....

Having the saves (or other stuff for that matter) in the cloud only sounds like a really silly idea. I mean syncing them across multiple machines is fine, but why not keep them locally? HDD space shouldn't be a problem nowadays. Even the best internet connection will sometimes not work (recently had a net-split - no route to certain servers from here, while people from northern Germany could still see them). And what if your cloud account is hacked - everything lost?

moonshineshadow: Sounds like a nice plan :-)
I do not have a real plan, but one of my siblings is coming to visit and we'll decide spontaneously what we'll do. Of course it will also depend on the weather, I hope it will stay as good as today.
An open plan is a real plan, one which works best when you don't have too many choices,
so you don't end up spending all your time on trying to decide what to do...

Hmm, I just checked the weather forecast and it looks like it might get a bit cloudy, but no rain.

You might want to have a few indoor choices on the menu, just in case. ;)
