If my quick maths has the correct assumptions, then we can store 225 Petabytes of data in the balls.
Human sperm contains about 3 million base pairs (haploid genome).
Each base pair of DNA (A, C, G, T) is encodable with 2 bits.
3 million * 2 bits / 8 (to convert to bytes) = 750 MB.
Using a rough and imprecise average of 300 million sperm cells stored in testicles, we get:
300 million * 750 MB = 225 PB.Plenty of space for your savegame data!
It only stores 750MB, but it’s in a RAID 150000000 array.
Depending on context, even someone who is a developer might ask such a question. Some games for example save files in the weirdest places, and if you look across the Windows/Linux border, those locations are totally different.
A good question on Bazzite lol
I haven’t used Bazzite, but I recently needed to find my save data on PopOS for a steam game that runs with proton, and it was so buried in subfolders that I only found it after asking chatgpt.
You literally just right click the game in Steam and click browse files.
Don’t most games keep save files separately from the main game files?
Depends on the game engine I suppose. You can just browse up a few directories inside the prefix and find the second common place. Usually it’s c:\users<username>\appdata\ and sometimes even get stored in My Documents.
But using steam to browse files will get you directly into the prefix. After that it’s a matter of browsing around to the common locations the same as you would on windows.
could you not open a console and use find or grep?
I don’t have much experience searching like that yet and still default to using the gui for navigating directories… I’m still a relative linux noob.
ah. makes sense.
find is really easy.
find -type f -name "*wildcard_filename*"find -type d -name "*wildcard_directoryname*"I’ll have to remember this, thanks.
