>>I'm not aware of any mechanism for tracking Humble Bundle updates short of manually scrolling through my library and seeing whether the game installers' associated checksums have changed.<<
Are the checksums directly visible on a main library page, or do you have to look at each one individually?
If you can see them all lined up, I think the tactic I'd try there is to download a baseline of that page (probably with SingleFile), make a note to check back every so often (monthly? quarterly?), download a current version of the page, and then use a local file-comparison tool (maybe Meld?) to see where the differences are.

>>And then GOG does keep track of each game update in a relatively-practical-to-check way, although without any direct notifications beyond "check library and see what's been marked as updated since last check".<<
Yeah, I'd just make a note to check back at some reasonable frequency. Near the top of my notepad window is a set of lists of routine-backup tasks, one list per frequency.
---
>>I haven't tried zipping or 7-zipping my newly-exported archive<<
Huh, my takeout comes zipped. Maybe that's just because I request several things at once.

>>I haven't encountered /r/DataHoarder before, though, so that definitely seems like a good next place to look, yup!<<
