It's a worm found in New Guinea, everyone knows that!

Before Meta Language, it meant Millilitres to me

No no, I was saying the account for my computer is local only. Steam, being a separate application, makes sense to have a separate login.

And I don't remember anything differently... I don't really have a horse in this race, just playing devil's advocate.

Makes sense. Cheers!

No, that was Halo Reach

Halo deserves a bit more than a fun action show, yaknow?

It was a plot point in series 3 of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, for what it's worth

I will just say that I don't think Steam et al. are equivalent to logging onto your device. The account I use on my computer is... just that, a local account for my computer. So, if the Quest requires some sort of authentication, why can't it be local too?

I have the same argument with consoles as well, but at least with the Xbox One, login still isn't required unless you're playing digital games. You can play all the disc games you like without any account.

For some, that's a benefit

Fair enough. I got one because it was the cheapest domain... though reading some of the other replies, I probably shouldn't try to do anything like email with it!

That's the second time I've seen someone cast xyz in a negative light. What's wrong with it? (Genuine question, in case it needs saying)

You would gain "a lime!" but lose "hello, rich people?"

So am I stealing from my employer because I earn more than the cost of my bills?

Just me or do aluminium buttons sound really uncomfortable?

Is that why the mascot's a crab??

Screenshots please! That sounds brilliant!

Lynx is surprisingly capable, but it depends on how the website's been built.

I'm not sure the NES was affordable per se. On release, it cost about $500 in today's money. And then you had to buy games at extra cost. In a world where you could go to an arcade with your pocket money and have a decent amount of fun, I don't think it was a great value proposition in the eyes of many.

There's a very similar theme called Commonality
