Yes, You Can Still Get Games for Less Than $50. These Are the Best I've Played
A newcomer to "scrolls-like" games, Tainted Grail has all the right ingredients. It takes place in Arthurian legend. The fabled King Arthur has already died, long ago, but not before he established a new capital for humankind on the island of Avalon. However, a Wyrdness has since settled on the island, and it's your job to sort it out, with some unexpected help. Though it's a little rough around the edges -- my time with the game has included a number of bugs and crashes -- it has really solid bones, and the team behind it is actively working on patching things. The magic system, itemization and world building are all good. You can really tell Questline has a love for games like Oblivion. I happily paid the $45 to support the studio, and I'm excited to see how it continues to iterate and improve on the game as development continues. Genre: RPG, first- or third-person Number of players: Single player Platform: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC

Harsh Goenka criticises 9 to 5 jobs, internet points at irony: 'If your employees start believing...'
Harsh Goenka, Chairman of RPG Enterprises, who is known for sharing insightful details on life and leadership on X, formerly Twitter, has shared some advice for corporate employees. Criticising 9-to-5 jobs, he urged people not to fall for them. His view has gained mixed reactions from netizens. Harsh posted a video showcasing how 9-to-5 jobs 'take over' lives. It features a freshly graduated man who is hired by someone to stand in a restricted area—a metaphor for how a 9-to-5 job begins with an internship. The story goes on to show how the man eventually lands a full-time role. Over time, he grows unhappy as his friends enjoy life while he remains stuck in his corporate routine. Even after receiving a promotion, his situation doesn't change. He continues to stand, trapped in the same cycle. Years later, now old and fragile, he retires. With his retirement money, he buys a skateboard from some youngsters. But when he tries to ride it, it's too late; he falls, no longer young enough to enjoy what he missed. The video ends with a message: 'How a 9 to 5 takes over your life.' Sharing the video, Goenka wrote, 'Wake up….before it's too late!' His post has received divided opinions. While many agreed with him, some also called out the irony of his thoughts. Reacting to his post, a user wrote in the comments, '9-5 is a trap. Period.' 'No matter how talented you are, you will be replaced as soon as your time in the job is over. You will be completely absorbed in the job, so live life, don't waste it,' added another. One more agreed to Goenka, saying, 'Once you're in a 9-to-5 job, you can become trapped in it. The force of habit doesn't allow you to consider other options, even if they become available to you. And every single Organisation needs these employees. Some who join at 20 and retire at 60 move up only a few steps.' A section of the internet also schooled Harsh Goenka. Among them, one user commented, 'Sir ji, don't show it to your employees. Imagine if all your employees start believing in it then what will happen to your organisation.' 'Great message for RPG employees,' joked another user. Yet another added, 'Easy to make fun of innocent employees. But what's solution for this (sic)?'

Ceat Q1FY26: Profit declines 27% on higher costs, revenue rises 10.5%
RPG Group-owned tyre maker Ceat on Thursday reported a 27 per cent decline year-on-year (Y-o-Y) in its consolidated net profit for the first quarter (Q1) of 2025–26 (FY26), whereas revenue from operations rose 10.5 per cent. The decline in net profit was primarily attributed to higher marketing expenses and an increase in raw material costs. Sequentially, both net profit and revenue saw an increase of 13 per cent and 3 per cent, respectively. Arnab Banerjee, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Ceat, stated, 'Looking ahead, we are well poised to ride the premiumisation and electrification trend in the domestic market, and renew our growth in international markets with stability in the geopolitical situation.' Kumar Subbiah, Chief Financial Officer, Ceat, said, 'Q1 saw strong growth and high-capacity utilisation at all our manufacturing facilities. This growth came on the back of increase in demand from OEM and replacement segments. As Q1 is a marketing-heavy quarter with significant marketing costs associated with IPL, operational margins saw a slight dip.' The results came after market hours on Thursday. Shares of the company closed at Rs 3,855.2, down 0.49 per cent.

Restaurant review: ‘It's more fun — and less arrogant — than it used to be, and I consider our €404 lunch bill to be good value right now'
Our food critic savours the evolved food and service at the Dublin fine-dining institution I was first brought to Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud as a student, when it was located on James Place East. I didn't know much about French food beyond what I'd learned eating my way around the cheapest restaurants in Paris on the meal vouchers that came with my summer job at Habitat in the Forum des Halles (yes, I have a fairly niche French vocabulary), but I recognised RPG as something special. The restaurant moved to its current site beside The Merrion Hotel 25 years ago, and I have eaten there on occasion over the years. In the past, I struggled with the formality of the service. I felt it got in the way of the food; it put me off. But I've noticed a gradual change, and the sometimes strangulated French-ness of the past is now gone. The staff are younger, and their accents are from all over the place, not just France; RPG is more fun — and, whisper it, less arrogant — than it used to be.
