I don't think that backup would be him.

The time it takes to find the hard drive would be irrelevant once the power has been cut and the stick figures are trapped in the hard drive.

Well there goes my LTE...

Your what?

Will you guys stop arguing about if its physical or not? It makes no difference, they can't escape cause the power's out!

^I agree, but Charlie doesn't seem convinced.

I do have a question: back in the first season of ava, what is tco doing while Alan has his PC turned off? If that is answered, I think it might help the current argument

^Wasn't he locked in that chest whenever noogai wasn't using him as a popup blocker?

Is he sentient at that time or not, that is the question

If it’s former, it’ll sure be a hellish time for him since he stayed in that dark box for long periods of time and is unable to do anything

😭

Well we know that on Alan's new PC (according to AVM episodes), as long as the plug is not pulled, the stick gang can roam around the PC whenever they like, wherever they like, and the desktop is always available for them. But we still didn't know if that's the case by that time when Alan had his Windows XP system
