Yeah, I am very very tempted to go for it, mainly because it is not a subscription. I wish it would have been less than $100 though, but I am not arguing about that since whatever I feel I would want to pay is probably less than they would think is OK.

Because other articles cite about 350 (heh, inb4 three-fiddy) for the whole of Valve. This is just Steam.

It doesn't matter if Tolkien, the writer, is from Europe, when you post images that are wholly AI generated, so, not made by Tolkien. I know you wrote exactly that, which is why I specifically ASKED WHAT I ASKED, above.

Right, I totally forgot about games on CD!

Should AI generated content be posted here? Not sure what it has to do with the community theme.

That's like 70 MB per game unless my napkin math is off by a few 0s. Sounds rather large for MS DOS games?

I'll say it straight forward, if you are considering an academic career you are just shooting yourself in the leg with this. It is already hard to make it in academia, using a pseudonym and expecting people to believe you or check additional proof it is actually your publication is not going to fly.

If you already know that you won't stay in academia but go to industry it might not be much easier. People won't care as much about publications but they still look good on your CV.

Ah, also just doing a PhD might make you end up in some publicly available database where your thesis will end up in. And I strongly doubt any reputable university would give you a PhD under a pseudonym.

Are you the guy with the tiny master sword in the UK that was recently in the news?

Or you use Obtainium.

How can you be annoyed at that. Its an article that references other Alien movies already in the title. At some point you cannot expect spoiler warnings anymore, especially if the movies are out for several years.

I'd say you can get all of those things in almost every European country, too. Saying almost only because there might be a country where you cannot find those hand warmers or whatever.

I am not sure what you mean with value. Unless you are planning to resell them again, what does the value matter?
