have this (you)
hope it helps

Why didnt you backup your games? You some kinda retard? ANSWER ME, BOY

Play some New Vegas.

If you used steam and steamcloud you would lose nothing

you post a stock sad face on Sup Forums
well done you did it

there are a million ways to not lose data if you are formatting a computor, ur fault

You rebuild, son.

This is why I back up my "my documents" folder every few months. You never know when your pc is gonna take a shit

>steamcloud

hahaha...
hahahaHAHAHA...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Faggot

I dont know how
I dont own steam. All the games I have are pirated and saved to my desktop
Help me

>pirated
Just pirate them again.

Live and learn. Learn how RAID 1 works or get another HDD with automatic backup software.

Why are you pretending to be me.

You did this yourself. All of it. Not having backups is bad enough but if a reset of Windows was all it took to fix your PC you could have easily salvaged the files before you did that.

I didn't know where the saves were located, and I didn't have a drive with enough space to hold the whole games.

Rofl I did actually use Steam Cloud. Never mind guys I got my games and saves back.

Who are you?

>Tfw steam cloud

I'm OP. You are not. Stop pretending to be me.

I'm the OP why are you pretending to be me? Please stop.

Also I didn't pirate my games I bought them from the Humble Bundle Store.

Stop. I'm OP, and I actually did pirate all my games, but I'm not the one who said I did.

OP here, what the hell is going on?

OP here. Never mind the idiots pretending to be me for some reason. Just got my games back, turns out they were in the Recycle Bin.

Anyway, can a mod close the thread or something?

NO, shut the fuck up. My games are still missing and you are NOT THE OP.

OP here. I just deleted a folder on the desktop titled Windows.old so I had enough space to download my games again.

Stop I'm the real OP. Pic related is proof, you can see I just downloaded that sadface image right before I made this thread. And how little files I have downloaded because I just lost everything. Now as OP, I'm saying I did pirate the games, but I'm not the original poster that said I did. And no I have not gotten anything back.

>I don't know how to backup

You copy them over to an external hard drive you stupid nigger

>I don't own steam
>I don't own a free software

Literally kill yourself, too stupid to be alive

>forgot pic.

Are they all emulated games?
Also, Deluge is a better torrent program.

That person who said that was not the OP, who is me.

play them again or move on. don't see the issue

Windows should have recognize that there was already a windows install on your system though and created a backup of your old system files. Go to your C: drive and see if there's a folder called "Windows.OLD". If there is, your save files and shit are located in there and all you have to do is copy them to the appropriate directory.

Another option for the future would be to have a second hard drive. If your system fails you can just reinstall windows on the OTHER hard drive and use that new windows installation to attempt to recover the files from your old windows hard drive.

Nice photoshop

Lol I'm not reading all that. Helpful answers only, please.

Philomena a cute

Literally nobody backs up their My Documents and AppData folders.

Install gentoo

Literally?

anyone who says they do is lying

Use this faggot, never lose your saves again.

You sure?

Then what do they back up?

Please don't bully OP he is struggling

Fucking this. OP here, thanks for understanding

My Music and My Games

This isn't me. I'm the OP. But actually I agree with the message, thanks.

OP here, never mind I found the answer on Google.

STOP IMPERSONATING ME AND LEAVE MY THREAD YOU FUCKER YOU FUCK FUCK

Step 1: Realize 90% of the games on it you don't touch or could live without
Step 2: Redownload the 10% left.

Take it to the Geek Squad. If you're using the same hard drive as the one that broke, old files are recoverable and only they know how to recover them. They'll do it for free most of the time too.

step 3: don't tell me what to do

this is a good opportunity to do something different with your life
clear off your computer desk and turn it into a wood working station
or maybe install a pottery wheel

buy a sturdy rope

Will the real OP please stand up

>make thread asking "what do i do now"
>get told what to do now
>"don't tell me what to do

...

I was playing all the games I had. And the more annoying thing is the loss of the saves. I had multiple hours on multiple games. Don't want to do them over.

But
But you asked what to do

Heh

OP here, nevermind, I realised my laptop was just out of charge

Any respectable woodworker has a computer-controlled milling machine. You can even use computers to make pottery now, it's basically just a lathe with clay instead of metal.

Who are you supposed to be?

Just don't play video games anymore like a normal human being?

Thats not me, I'm the real OP. I probably should have put on a trip when I made these posts.
But I didn't feel like it.

CAN THE REAL OP PLEASE STAND UP

PLEASE STAND UP

PLEASE

STAND

UP

The other guy who is saying he is OP is much more convincing, but alright

t h i s t b h f a m

OP here

Can you guys please not post as fast? I'm blind and need time for my text to speech program to read your posts

>Don't want to do them over.
Then don't. If you aren't willing to do basic shit like see if C:\Windows.OLD\ exists or take your computer to geek squad then you must not really give a fuck, which means you can do without them.

Just stop playing video games.

OP here

My AA2 folder managed to survive so everything is fine.

>I probably should have put on a trip when I made these posts.
put one on now, it's not too late

sure if you want to mass produce soulless boring machine perfect trash

OP_3000

Okay did it work?

Woodworking isn't art, stick to your etsy "I turn old forks into jewelry and stencil things onto $5 tshirts and sell them for $30" handicraft shit.

um how dare u?

This. Gentoo is good for you.

what the fuck is happening in this thread

You wanna kiss then take surns socking each other?

OP_3000

Okay for real though, it all worked out. Turns out, when you delete files from the computer they don't actually disappear, they go to something called a recycle bin so I have all my games back now!

OP here, disregard that I suck cocks.

OP here

PM'd you the fix

Someone else could just put on a trip and claim they're the real OP. I need to put on a trip in the same post as posting evidence that I'm OP.

can you copy me in on that? having same problem as OP. i bought all my games on humble bundle store then deleted them by mistake but i cant get them out of the recycle bin like he did.

thanks

The only thing we know for certain is that the real OP is and always will be a faggot.

OP_3001

Who are you?

Yea it exists, but I don't know what to do with it. Also I reset my computer multiple times, if it only saves from my last reset, then it won't have the files I want.

>I lost dozens of gigs of games
oh boo hoo

my 500gb hard drive died last month and it was completely full of vidya

Luckily my other hard drive with 1TB of video games is still kicking, plus whatever I have on my default drive.

Your signature sucks, so no.

------------------------------------------

The real OP.

OP_3000

How do you see your post count on this webzone? I want to see who is active enough to be trustworthy.

Hi, OP here don't believe this fag lies

0_P


Okay, the above is my official signature. I've gotten in touch with Geek Squad, but the girl wasn't very helpful. Also, won't they go through my hard drive if I give it to them?

OP here

How do I make a Sup Forums account?

Okay, the above is my official signature. I like dicks.

I are teh Original Penis

0_P

Okay so I called the Geek Squad again, and long story short what's an operative system?

You're not the real OP you lanky jew

Ok guys I made a trip, now I can see my games in the Recycle Bin but how do I get them out? Dragging them onto the desktop doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Right click and restore.
