I wonder if we put serious effort into it how many GB we could fit on 3.5" media
Some of the biggest archives around are on magnetic tape if I remember right.
God, I used to manage a data center that had a 128 tape Dell library, If I had that library today and a couple of LTO 9s in it...
I don't know what I'd do with 2.3 petabytes, and the time from request to load would be abhorrent But damn it, I would do something cool
Let's see.... 1.44MB per floppy... carry the two....uhhh 0.14% of a GB, sir.

Whilst the performance needs improving, Last Epoch is something like 20gb
Go compare that to an ARPG like PoE2 or D4...
Is that the new Minesweeper?

Killing floor 1 is only 6gb. Just saying.....
