On one hand, the best place to keep all that would seem out of game and stored on our device. This way if anything were to ever happen to the game or our saves, we still got our screenshots, portal addresses, journals and/or otherwise notes. On the other hand, that’s never convenient, it’s not even a semi-automatic process.
It’s manual labor requiring effort…
- Organizing screenshots
- Organizing journals / notes
However, screenshots do automatically organize according to date, so I would call that semi-automatic.
“Do our notes become obsolete without our saves?,” is like asking, “Do our screenshots become obsolete without our saves?” Both our notes and our screenshots have historical value, their something to look back on, much like family photos or YouTube videos long after someone has passed. Call them “echoes” from the past.
So we say, “if you just backup your saves,” but even that’s semi-inconvenient, which means it’s semi-convenient.
Notes take effort, playing takes effort, work takes effort, cooking takes effort, life takes effort. So we attempt to automate what we don’t enjoy and extend time into what we do enjoy. Some may like to manually take notes…
