   Yep, back around 15 years ago when I had data caps I used to use that feature all the time. Not to copy games between PCs, but to have backups in case I reinstalled Windows etc so I wouldn't have to download them again. The feature&#x2

   I think they mean more like, imagine Reddit, but instead of anyone being able to create a new Subreddit on a new topic, it's anyone can create a new Subforum. Discourse forums still need each owner to set up and pay for hosting.

   I was almost expecting this to end with "...I was so happy that day as I rode my now vastly improved bike home."

    I couldn't find a site that'd let me upload it in full res, but I've put it on Imgur cut into four pieces. You can just stitch them back together to get the whole thing at full res. Unfortunately Imgur's also re-encoding

    I have a great supplement to this. Back in 2000 I had a subscription to the UK PC Gamer magazine and they did a huge "Complete History Of Games" poster, with connections between everything that influenced everything else. Imgur wo

    I had to laugh at the Santa Monica list in the article where someone, immediately after the Builder's Remedy came into effect, submitted a 2000 unit development. I wonder how long they'd been sitting on that one.

    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as OS X, is in fact, Mac OS X, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, macOS.
