I have 9000+ games on Steam and many others on EA, Ubisoft etc. Value is zero.
I recently catalogued and valued my physical game collection across multiple consoles. Value is over £10,000 and that value will only go up as time passes.
In 2010 I was coming back to the UK from Japan. Walked through security carrying a 500ml bottle of water. Realised after clearing everything that it was in my bag. Turned round, went back to the security and handed them the bottle, saying it's just water but I knew I could not take it on board. The guy there took the bottle, placed it into a recess in the desk/table, pressed a button and lights happened in the recess. Then he gave me the bottle back "Yes, water" and indicated I could board.
This article directs it's attention to email spam which is indeed an issue.
"What happens next?
Once human attention becomes a gated resource, the prize is no longer reaching the human directly but tricking the gatekeeper into passing the message through."
That is where blog comment spam sits, and there a lot of blogs.
I wrote this in Nov 2007 and it persists today, across blogs and pretty much anywhere else that allows comments.
“Yes, yes,” said Bethan, sitting down glumly. “I know you don’t. Rincewind, all the shops have been smashed open, there was a whole bunch of people across the street helping themselves to musical instruments, can you believe that?”
“Yeah,” said Rincewind, picking up a knife and testing its blade thoughtfully. “Luters, I expect.”
"This is a place for those who have a moderately large collection of removed games (games no longer available for purchase on steam) to gather. For most, this group will just be about the name, showing off that you own what others no longer can. For others, it can be a resource to find what you once believed could no longer be found."
You don't need to concentrate your attention anywhere in particular or to explore anything in depth. I stay away from news / politics / gaming subs even though they are my main interest until I have enough of a history / karma.
Some subs do have subreddit specific karma limits but they are many and varied.
It can be a long game, but gaming reddit with comments is easy enough so you'll pass their 'checks'.
I was maybe 15/16, family holiday on the island of Menorca. There was a long cove where I would snorkel. Saw hundreds of sea urchins, some fish, an octopus here and there. Water was warm and clear
I surfaced and kept heading out. All of a sudden the water went from warm to cold. Goggles still on I looked down into the water. Darkness. Nothing.
I don't think I have ever swam faster back into the cove and got out.
