The Korean youngster had surely suffered enough, after giving up the tying two-run homer with two out in the ninth inning (and, of course, the winning home run an inning later.) There can be no explanation for Brenly’s decision to call on an overtired and overwrought Kim again except mindless, managerial macho. Especially in the stadium where Yankee great Yogi Berra coined that immortal phrase deja vu all over again....

The news was confirmed during an episode of the Xbox Podcast, where Arkane finally let the cat out of the bag. As noted before, though, this question has always lingered in community members’ minds. Sure, Deathloop and Dishonored seem very different on the surface. But, when you really dig into the supernatural abilities, as well as the architectural style of the two worlds, everything starts to fit together like puzzle pieces....

Reed filed a civil suit against PDQ Arm and Prop company and its owner Seth Kenney on Wednesday, according to a complaint obtained by Deadline. Baldwin fired live rounds that killed Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza during an on-set rehearsal last October. However, blame for the incident has been directed at many different parties amid an ongoing police investigation. Lawyers for Reed argued that the arms and prop supply company was liable for allegedly supplying the set with live ammunition in addition to “dummy rounds....

If that read like a bunch of meaningless words strung together in an incredibly confusing sentence, then let’s take them one at a time. Arcane is a Netflix original that serves as an animated prequel for the video game League of Legends. Its episodes have been drip fed through in batches of three over the past couple of weeks and it’s due to air its finale on Saturday, November 20....

A California judge on Friday granted the temporary order against the alleged stalker, a 45-year-old woman from Virginia. Cook first became aware of the woman when she repeatedly tagged him on Twitter in late 2020. The restraining order bans the woman from possessing any guns or ammunition, from interacting with Cook and other Apple employees and from entering any Apple properties. In an application for the order last week, Apple said that the alleged stalker was still on the loose in the Bay Area and could be armed, according to The Mercury News....

OutRun is a classic racing title, known for pioneering hardware and graphics when it landed in arcades in 1986. At the time, it set the standard for what a racing game could do, pushing the graphical envelope, much like the Gran Turismo franchise does today.

Much of the United States is in the grip of a winter storm, which has seen freezing air blown across the country from the Arctic. The Great Lakes region has been hit by a bomb cyclone, caused by a sudden drop in atmospheric pressure, with temperatures forecast for the low teens on Saturday, though it is expected to feel significantly colder once wind chill is factored in. On Friday the temperature at Elk Park, Montana, dropped to -50 F, while Cattaraugus County, New York, recorded a low of -36 F....

Thanks in advance.

Yet, many audiophiles and reviewers swear that buying high-end headphones is worth every penny. If they’ve managed to convince you, here are a few things you should know before buying your first pair of audiophile headphones. Why Are Audiophile Headphones So Expensive? 1. They Are Not Mass-Produced Consumer-grade headphones are made for the masses and in large quantities. This means they can enjoy economies of scale and have a lower per-unit cost....

Reports emerged this month, initially from an adult industry news website called XBIZ, that the Mark Zuckerberg-led website had recently updated its Community Standards with fresh restrictions on emoji use, suggesting this could negatively impact sex workers. The safeguarding guidelines, seemingly updated in September, cover both Facebook and the popular picture-focused application Instagram, falling under a “Sexual Solicitation” policy. Since the initial XBIZ reporting, some tabloid outlets have furthered the story using headlines that appear to suggest there will now be an absolute ban on the use of sexually-suggestive emoji, which have become a second language on the internet....

However, while many people turn to payday loans (opens in new tab) to help them make ends meet or pay an unexpected bill, these short-term loans have a reputation for extortionate interest rates and charges. So, before agreeing to a payday loan, it’s important to consider your options carefully. What’s the problem with payday loans? The most obvious concern with payday loans is their excessively high rates of interest – the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found (opens in new tab) that a two-week loan of $100 can cost $15, which equates to an annual percentage rate of almost 400%....

The Bravos are undefeated so far in June, having reeled off their longest winning streak in nearly a decade as they’ve outscored opponents 83-35 during the streak. Broadly, one could say everything has been clicking — pitching, hitting, defense — and that would be accurate. But it’s also not totally correct, which makes what Atlanta is doing all the more impressive. FAGAN: How Reds rookie Hunter Greene is learning on the job in debut season...

Like their ancestors, yetties have an attire that sets them apart from earlier generations–cell phones, Razor scooters and messenger bags. Yetties also have a different set of values from their predecessors–a kind of techno-libertarianism. Sam Sifton, a senior editor at Talk magazine and self-proclaimed “comic sociologist,” traced the evolution and typology of the species in his new book, “A Field Guide to the Yettie” (Talk Miramax Books, November 2000, 176 pages)....

Wells is one of a breed of young telephone troubleshooters that computer and software companies employ to help customers with their new, high-tech toys. They are the know-it-alls on the “help” line who rescue that crucial report that was lost when little Johnny was playing Flight Simulator. Microsoft, Macintosh, Compaq, IBM – all have technical support services that come with the purchase of their products. And last week’s post-Christmas crush kept their lines buzzing with calls from new computer owners....

The Rockies and Diamondbacks opened a three-game series in Arizona tied for second place in the National League (NL) West, both a game or so out of the second wildcard spot. Arenado, the Rockies’ perennial All-Star third baseman, delivered the way he always seems to in clutch situations. The Rockies star opened the scoring with a two-run home run in the first and added an RBI double in the sixth to power the Rockies to an 8-1 victory....

WHAT’S NEW After back-to-back .500 seasons under manager Kirk Gibson, it appears the Arizona Diamondbacks at least have a plan. Arizona is building around stud first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who graduated to top-five fantasy pick after hitting .302 with 36 homers, 125 RBIs and 15 stolen bases last season. The Diamondbacks took the next step with a three-player trade this offseason that brought Mark Trumbo and Addison Reed to the desert....

It was reported earlier that Wright could “optimistically” return when the Wildcats begin Pac-12 play on Sept. 26, but the timeframe Rodriguez laid out makes it more likely his first game back will be Oct. 3 at Stanford or Oct. 10 at home against Oregon State.

The post stated, “FROM THE OLYMPIC GAMES, TO THE UFC! Another glass ceiling has been smashed. It’s official, we are headed to the UFC!

Ark: Survival Evolved launched back in June 2015 and was met with a mixed reception when launched. While buggy, the game had a unique gameplay loop that was not seen in the survival genre at the time, mixed with incredible monsters to tame and capture. It had many of the right ingredients to be a success at launch. Due to the popularity of the game, Studio Wildcard decided to port Ark: Survival Evolved to the Nintendo Switch....

The 159-page order, which blocks the state from enforcing the proposed laws, was implemented just before midnight on Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker. This injunction is seen as a victory to opponents of the laws, who argued that they were not medically necessary and violated Supreme Court precedent. According to CNN, Baker concluded that the laws would “cause ongoing and imminent irreparable harm” to patients and that the state, “has no interest in enforcing laws that are unconstitutional....
