Drive not mounting?

Hello, Incredibly strange set of circumstances. I mounted my 12TB HDD a week ago, per the help of some very nice people in this server. Its intent is to be a games hard drive. I have slow internet, so I like to pre-download games in case I want to play them. A couple days ago, I downloaded about 150 games, 1.2TB worth. I went to sleep. All is well. Woke up and turned my computer on - it asks for permission to mount again. I check partition manager - my drive isn't listed. Not available for mounting. I check dolphin - HDD isn't listed under Devices, but I am able to explore its file contents. It does have files in it, SteamLibrary/steamapps/common etc. It only has 31 game folders out of 150. Moreover, when I click into each folder, there are no game files there. I go back to Steam, and none of the games are available to launch. Nothing changes after a restart. I start redownloading everything, thinking it just needs to reverify some of the game files that are present on my HDD. Sure enough, a lot of games just need to be verified. I get to DOOM, which doesn't have any files, and start downloading. After 70% of the download is finished, I check back to dolphin. There are still no files. I right click the game > properties > installed files. It's located at /var. I click browse. It leads me to the actual location of the drive, /var/mnt/.../DOOM. Folder is empty, yet the game is still downloading. The plot just keeps thickening. Doom is STILL downloading as of now. I have no clue where it's downloading to. I'll boot into UEFI and see if the drive is detected there. Unrelated, does anyone know if I can add an "up one directory" button to dolphin?

Solution:

lastly rightclick on the toolbar for dolphin and configure the toolbar and add the UP tool and move it where you want it
