Would anyone know why it keeps failing when I cut or copy a folder from internal storage to paste in memory card storage?

I just had a minor repair with my power button on my steam deck, which otherwise worked flawlessly, and they sent it back a few days ago, royally screwed up and only usable for a very short time per day, before it completely gets stuck on a black screen, until the battery fully dies, with no possible way to see anything, even backlight, on the display. Now I have to send it back again tomorrow and I am merely trying to back up my sims 2 folder with my custom content and neighborhood that I spent untold hours/ months creating and downloading ( and still haven't had a chance to play with a single family yet )

No matter what I do. Copy or cut. It will not allow me to paste anything to my memory card. It moves the folders. But they remain totally empty. And then it tells me that it failed. Instantly. I have more than enough space and the card is functional and not corrupted. Does anybody have any clue, what could possibly be the problem? It is such a simple mundane task and I just don't understand what could possibly be happening...

Also, my game won't let me play unless I insert my memory card first, so I always assumed that all of it would be on my card already. but the actual game folder where I have to install all of my custom content in, it shows all of it on my steam deck hard drive. Could Linux have made a double folder somehow and all of this is on my memory card but hidden from view? If it did, that is one heck of alot of wasted space... Linux is seriously maddening sometimes. Does anyone have any idea because I am tapped out. Heck I would even appreciate a joke at this point. That steam deck repair company really knows how to twist the knife and ruin a perfectly wonderful day/weekend. I would forever be greatful if someone could offer some knowledge that could help his simple task start moving forward. Thank you

I just received my steam deck again a few days ago, after sending it in for repair for a simple power button issue. After receiving it, now there a continuous problems where the screen keeps going black and I have to wait for however long until the battery dies to have a functional screen again, for a random and often very short amount of time. . Needless to say, I have to immediately send it back for repair again.

I am scared it will happen while trying to back it up, and corrupt my entire memory card. I had a heck of a time when I first put Sims 2 on my steam deck, trying to put so much cc. And I remember there were 2 different sims 2 folders. And I originally put the mods and CC folder inside the wrong sims 2 folder. Which looked a lot like the other one. It's not easy to find alot of these game folders on Linux. like it is on windows. Can I copy the sims 2 folder that I added the mods folder to and move it straight to the memory card in one quick motion, and will it back up both my neighborhoods and everything else ( CC mods, sims ) in my game? or do I have to locate that other sims 2 folder and move both of them to a memory card separately?

Sorry I don't have the luxury of time to re- learn all of this stuff again after a year and a half, with a brain injury, and a device that cuts the screen off so quickly. Trying to be prepared and with a time crunch that I did not anticipate and trying to be prompt and not corrupt everything. If you can assist I would greatly appreciate the help

Does anyone recognize or know the name of a documentary detailing extensivley about the deccan and Siberian traps. Covid has messed with my brain and all I can remember is a scene in this documentary featured a business who had this pipe in the ground in the back room of their shop, where they would extract CO2 I guess? I think the man owned the shop was an older gentleman. All I can remember is that this was such a great documentary and I haven't been able to find it since probably 2015. ( My guess would be it was filmed after the 90s but before 2010. No clue of the names. But it featured both deccan and Siberian traps as the main topic. Does this sound even remotely familiar to anyone? I would be ever so grateful if you could give me the name of it or even a partial name. It's like it is nowhere to be found. Youtube always deletes the best documentaries

Is anybody's game working on steam right now? It keeps showing a popup that says

"Failed to retrieve your steam account, check your connection and be sure to launch game through steam"

Its been working before, and my connection is working just fine. But it still won't let me play

My brain is fuzzy and it's been a quite awhile since I've been able to play my game. Is it more cost effective to get the extra 100 tokens for 3,300, on the star path. I believe I have always done the 2,500 moonstones option. Do you get to reimburse all of the tokens for moonstones at the end? Does it break down to be cheaper after you complete each category page? is that only if you buy every single item on every page and not just the few to unlock the next page? Is that how it works for that? Can someone break that down for me? If I don't want every single item , then it won't be cost effective, correct?
