Tomb Raider Anniversary was dirt-cheap on Steam so I bought it. As a remake it feels a whole lot smoother to play compared to the 1996 original, no tank controls. I also installed ReShade and a couple of texture upscale mods to make it more pleasant-looking, with add-on enhanced ReShade I could also use ray-traced global illumination.

I played BattleBit Remastered for the first time since August and I really need to hone my skills.

I also several demos on Steam, News Tower really got me hooked with its gameplay. The full game should release on Early Access in a couple days, might as well buy it.

Setting up and adjusting swapspace worked.

Fixing things that made Sopuli crash so often in the last few days. Apparently some swap space is necessary to prevent kswapd0 gobbling 100% of CPU which also causes all user processes to freeze. This is so tiresome.

The group isn't certainly an "embracer", this is disappointing.

I thought this was an article by some Indian satirical news site.

Well, the Ubisoft exec needs to get used to people pirating games if they cannot be owned.

According to research, a COVID patient is contagious for approximately 10 days after first symptoms, and in severe cases that can be even 20 days. Plus approximately 40% of COVID cases are asymptomatic. Therefore this decision is idiotic. What could possibly go wrong?

EDIT: This decision was also commented by professionals in an article by CalMatters:

Dr. Noha Aboelata, chief executive of Roots Community Health Center in Oakland, is one of many community doctors who have expressed disappointment in the state’s new direction. COVID-19 does not necessarily behave like other respiratory viruses — hospitalizations and deaths have never dropped to zero the way flu does outside of the winter months — and it is still unpredictable, Aboelata said.

“This policy is not based in science, equity or public health. It devalues the lives of immunocompromised and disabled people, and completely ignores the risk of long COVID,” said Lisa McCorkell, co-founder of the Patient-Led Research Collaborative, which studies the impacts of long COVID.

I've heard advice to invest in Indian companies instead because of this issue. The median age in India is around 30 years.

I am thinking the exactly same, the logos are so different in form and color. Take-Two is just trying to act high and mighty.
