Oh that poor innocent soul. They must not have been old enough to remember needing boot disks because your 90s jalopy couldn't handle Warcraft or Myst.

heck they should try putting in 40 disks just to install word 3.1
Lol those were the days. I remember Simcity 4 releasing back then and how quickly my mod folder blue up. Then by the time that game was old it was only 2.15gb and that was nothing. The jump from >10gb to 50gb games was insane. Now the jump to 100+ Gb hurts a lot. Any time a game is iN MB I do a little happy dance.

This is funny on so many levels, also a vit bitter as well...
Fortunately, most HL2 mods were/are nowhere near that big, even the vast majority of total conversions.
Go play Minerva if you never did.
Lol.
I've now got Steam games spread across 5 hard drives. One of which is a 5tb old school disk drive for the games I have A LOT of user made content for. I've gotta be in the terrabytes range at this point.
