Xbs, just quick note you think the game description may look neater if used "justify" instead of "centered" ?

Yes I do but I think that there's no way to justify text. Only options are left, right and centre. I did try left but didn't like it. Maybe I'll add a layout option for left/centre description.

After the History plugin is configured, goto Simulacra layout options and enter the same history.dat path you used in plugin.
