Gog-games has returned; if you missed it, they went private for a while, then announced they were coming back in a week. They seem to have come back early.

Fun fact:

By default, in the US, you have copyright on anything you write. Putting a CC license at the bottom of your comment is a waste of electrons, unless you're making it CC for some reason besides a futile attempt at persuading a scraper to not harvest your data.

This is the tech bro equivalent of posting this kind of message on Facebook:

It doesn't work. If you don't want things you post publicly on the Internet to be scraped, don't post things publicly on the Internet.

Thank you for your constructive criticism. Your defeatism is so refreshing to read.

There's a German word called "fremdschämen", which roughly translates to "second-hand embarrassment". It think it's appropriate here.

At the very least put a space bat between thingy and CC.
