They will take measures such as installing cameras in offices, presumably to ensure that not a single moment of a sexual encounter is missed by their devoted followers.

It was called spanning and was usually done with a third party utility like xcopy or pkzip, but I am pretty sure MS backup did it as well. I don't think you could do it with DOS copy command through v6.22.

Nothing stopping everyone else from having a posh wank now and again.

And I thought this was going to be a joke about her putting the audience to sleep.

A kitchen sink. Did an impromptu kitchen reno due to a gas leak and being without one is such a huge downgrade in quality of life. I was washing dishes in the bathtub nightly and it was absolutely miserable. I don't think I've ever been more appreciative of the technology of modern plumbing than the day I was able to rerun lines to the sink area and get it all going.

Oh my DM really leaned into that one. Had us searching for a golden brassiere as part of a ritual we needed to perform. We ended up picking up a rumour that the captain of the guard wears one, so on to the seduction attempt to go find out what she's into and where she hangs out. Play through the whole bit, get the brassiere and then ask what we do next. Well, now we need to burn incense in the brassiere. Now everyone just looks at eachother completely confused. Then the guy sitting next to the DM suddenly perks up and asks to see the module we're running for a sec. Tells the table it says brazier. Confusion dispelled and everyone laughing for days.

The poster reminds me of the Tron arcade game level where you blast the MCP column of light. Needs Ilia standing in the middle holding a disc above her head.

I don't see Out of Space on here. It's pretty fun and challenging.

Goat Simulator is silly fun, especially with kids.

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is awesome since it lets you play up to 4 player co-op.

Vicious Attack Llama Apocalypse is a good co-op twin stick shooter.

That's just like, your opinion, man.

We knew that if you pressed the satellite button and channel up/down, it let you manually move the dish, and it didn't care how long you did it. There were also numbers to indicate the position of the dish. The rest was just sheer determination.

Had C-band satellite as a teen. All the good channels locked. But if the satellite Spacenet 1 transponder 18 was locked, you could "fine tune" the reception from say, Galaxy 3 transponder 18 by holding the step up or down button, and manually swing the dish halfway across the sky to the same position where Spacenet 1 is. As the descrambler thinks you are watching a different satellite altogether, there is no more lock. And since you never actually visited a bad channel, no way to tell with history or last buttons.
