DaVinci Resolve wiped half of the personal game folder (not as calamitous as it sounds)

Not as calamitous as it sounds. The whole game is backed up to GitHub, and none of it was touched. But after mistakenly importing the entire folder to DaVinci Resolve, I pressed "Ctrl Z", which then deleted about half of the folder. I don't know the specifics of why that happened. I don't think I want to learn them, specifically — all I know is that when I googled the problem, a forum post from 2022 just had a response that was "Wow 🫨".

I tried disk recovery but I didn't realize the issue 'till well after the files were overwritten. So recovery mostly failed. Most of what was lost was uploaded online somewhere, either via Discord or Google Drive — and, mercifully, the blender folder remains untouched. But all of my personal concept art is gone. I'm gonna have to trawl through my direct messages with Lambchopper to see what I sent to them.

I feel a lasting emptiness. I put on Microphones in 2020 because it's the only thing I could think of playing. Fuck, y'know. A bunch of shit is gone permanently, randomly, for no good reason. I guess it happens.
