Now's a good time to buy some games.  Keep isolating during this winter holiday season, for safety's sake.

No Man's Sky is currently 50% off on Steam, and they are also revisiting all of the Expeditions.  If you only pick one to do, the current Expedition #1 is definitely that one, because you get an excellent quality spaceship out of it.  You can freely claim that spaceship on any of your new games, even other Expeditions.  It's available on other platforms too, but not Nintendo Switch yet.  It runs well on Linux Mint, although that hasn't always been the case.

There are also heavy discounts on other games I've enjoyed playing, like Sims 4 (88% off), Nebuchadnezzar (30% off), Valheim (20% off), Pathfinder:WOTR (15% off), Rimworld (10% off), and still-in-development Timberborn (10% off).

Now, I'm off to get my flu vaccine in an hour.  Reminder: Don't get covid.  I'm still predicting that this flu season will see an unusual rise in covid symptoms and complications, because my theory is that many people who have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 are now carriers for life.  If the virus reached their heart, then I just don't think that the body has any good methods for safely eradicating the virus from that organ.  A weakened immune system (cold, flu, etc.) will see a resurgence in their covid symptoms without any new exposures, because their hearts are the eternal wellspring of viral load now.  So don't get covid.  I'll give up my theory if this winter passes without headlines like "Cold symptoms include unusual covid-like features" or "The flu is coinciding with an unusual number of blood clots" or "Why are so many people dying of heart attacks and strokes this winter?"

Go play computer games at home instead of mingling with humans.  ;)

I've landed (heh) on Solaris. So far so good.

Viruses can persist in the heart and also can be eradicated from it. Admittedly it is all a bit mysterious but do we have any indication that SARS-CoV-2 (maybe other coronaviruses?) might tend toward the former? Maybe those with long-COVID cardiac damage might not be healing as expected?
