this might be a 'your brain is uniquely quirky' thing but every now and then i get a need to deep clean my computer (files wise). it's the anxiety, maybe? or perhaps wanting to digitally reach my hand out and grab exactly what I need, like an old project from 2019. (had to dig for a contract template that i made recently).
i'm not a data hoarder by any means -- my book/music/picture collections are carefully curated versus mass-downloaded -- but i think this is exacerbated with regular data backups ever since the middle school days (kinda get the sense a lot of people only ""delete"" files unintentionally when they have a hard drive wipe or crash). personally also like everything to be useful in some ways. if i don't see myself reading/using it for later, or if it's not a part of the art archive, out the door it goes. feel like the older i get the more dependable/accessible i want my file system to be, instead of things thrown around willy-nilly.
anyway, today was tackling my resources dump, parts of which hadn't been touched since high school. textures, stock photos, style guides, etc. also converted a shit ton of legacy skp (sketchup) files to blender files, because i also want to start building up a offline library of sketchfab environments of real historical places (some featured here in a previous post) in case if the creators take them down.
everything in its place.
