>your solutions were not solutions.
Objectively wrong, you were complaining about file puke, I gave you two ways to contain it the first preemptively (extract to a new folder), the second automatically (use the itch app). The second of which will also auto updates the game for you.
Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's bad/dumb. When I manually manage files I put them in a '<game>/<version>/' directory structure. The advantages of this is it's easy to version shift, fixed bricked installs, mod games, and keeps the archives all organized.
Most of the time I use tools that just manage the files for me( itch app, steam, etc.) only doing it manually when I start modding, speedrunning, or want to use a program that I need to build myself.
