It's another example of how related words are misused to provide another example. The author of the article decided to use a word they clearly didn't understand. Are you trying to pull some reverse pedantry shit?

The "battle" of Hoover Dam. I've seen bigger brawls outside a pub!
Now that I have a lovely HDR display, I kinda want to give this a bash. It also makes me wonder about CRT filters for non-emulated games. Fallout 2 looked amazing on a CRT, for example.
I disagree. I think they're dying because big publishers have become so risk averse. It takes forever for a game to be finished and when it's done it's usually forgettable slop, with a few exceptions. PC gaming allows for different tiers of games to be developed more easily so there's more variety.
It's the difference between "I borrowed some money" and "I loaned someone money". They mean different things, including people occasionally creating awful sentences like "I borrowed him some money" (shudder).
Burning is writing a disc. Ripping is extracting data from a disc. Whoever wrote the article used lingo they don't understand.
I've been finishing off Assassin's Creed: Odyssey on my Xbox One X. I mostly enjoyed it but many of the RPG mechanics were quite tiresome. I hear Valhalla is even longer, which doesn't bode well. Odyssey was already hitting the upper limit for me and the mechanics were starting to grow stale.
Still, the world was fairly pretty and it had a surprising amount of comedy in it. The fighting mechanics were mostly fun, although the lack of hidden blades and stupid auto-leveling content rather worked against the demi-god power fantasy.
I should probably get my Steam Deck RMA'd so I can play something else, but that requires more mental effort than I can handle right now.
It always puzzles me when people get "too" wrong. To me the additional O feels like it's for emphasis. Hell, tack on a third!
The Ezio trilogy, I reckon. I was very invested in Desmond's story and the series felt like it was building towards a conclusion.
Will we ever get the present day AC game?
As someone from Britain, I never got the educational vibe. I mostly got "is this a reference to something?" as various characters showed up. My knowledge of American history starts in the 1920s, mostly.
If anything I shouldn't be doing chores, I should be relaxing. Doing chores is working.
As in, I'm being paid to work, some of the process of working is recharge time. By instead doing chores, I'm arguably not recharging as effectively.
Of course it's a bit more complex than that, and uncompleted domestic tasks create mental overhead that distract from focus, so where the balance lies is hard to say.
I do, as it happens, ask for more work when necessary. I like to have a queue of tasks to work through, then take them on at a sustainable pace. So far it's been several years and no one has expressed anything negative about my pace of work. In fact it got me promoted a couple of weeks ago.
Half-Life is definitely not older than home CD burners. Now if you'll excuse me, there's some damn kids on my lawn again.
