I am an avid gamer, and one of my favorite things became the standard when they started saving your data in the cloud. There is no bigger frustration as a gamer than putting hundreds of hours into a game and having the file randomly corrupted. Which means the entire time you invested was for nothing. Since many gaming services, such as Steam, have been uploading the data to their cloud save when you close out of a game, which is like saving the game twice for good measure, it has helped many of us be able to recover our game files, which would have been lost to the aether otherwise.
Not only is that one of the biggest boons to cloud computing in the gaming world, but I could also do it if I wanted to play my game from someone else's computer in a completely different house. All I have to do is log into my account, and all my games and progress are on their servers to access at any time. Gone are when you had to take your physical game cartridges and memory cards to your friend's houses.
These were some neat things in my daily life that related to the topic this week, and I wanted to share them.
