3465 € in 21 years at today's prices for 287 games. Given that I mostly buy at historical lows the estimate of 1033 € that can be found on the same SteamDB page applies to me.

3,6 € per game, 49 € per year.

Given the tears, the emotions and the joy I got repeatedly from all those (mostly indie) titles, it's well worth it. Praised be GabeN and all of Valve!

Disclaimer: I work in the marketing analytics industry

And you declare any site that has not yet discovered a better way than Amazon affiliate links to make money off-limits for you and suggest everyone else to do the same?

There are two problems I see in your approach:

1. You are not letting Productfrom and everyone else that a better way exists. In this case it could be setting up a similar program with someone better than Bezos or even turning everything into a crowdfunded operation.

2. You are cutting yourself off immense portions of the web for no good reason at all, since there are quite simple ways to prevent the harvesting of useful data from you.

If the site was a little better (a lot of products have the 5 years disclaimer on them) I would even voluntarily let them know more about me on their analytics, if they had one (they are on the old version of GA, which has sunset 2 years ago), since the idea is actually good.

I didn't even get to click on a product, just getting to know where stuff is made is inspiration enough for me.

Having other "special interests" like Malta and Cyprus in the EU is a luxury we cannot afford, imho, especially given the support all of these countries show for Russian interests.

They are not in the EU (that's EU's flag) and I for sure wouldn't want today's Switzerland anywhere close to joining the EU.

I have a rule: I don't pronounce the word fascist (in private or in public, I don't care) without prefixing it with "lurid" in English and in Italian appending "di merda" after fascista/i. As someone who had nightmares at night about them, given the testimony of my grandmother, I feel that not qualifying fascist people is somehow working in their favor.

The day I will see a politician using that rule in a TV interview I will know that we have again a chance.

I already do.

This is so true: I often wonder what kind of deriding homophobic nicknames the most enlightened politic leaders of the past would be called if they were acting in politics today.

2 years ago, when I first heard about them in Helsinki, I genuinely thought they were a Sami party. But yeah, that is usually the underlying message of such names, like for example Forza Italia in Italy (which also meant that football journalists were directly turned into political megaphones during the games of the National team).

Apparently now the official English name is The Finns. Calling themselves Basic in English wasn't to their taste apparently.

Can we contribute to the effort by buying any consumer product the same companies may be producing?

I just congratulated my Finnish friends and one of them explained to me that Perussuomalaiset (the party's name in Finnish) directly translates to "The Basic Finns"! I really hope the opposition is using that in English interviews.
