A number of threads over on the Steam subreddit have really brought out the inner artist in some users, as there has been a bunch of artwork depicting the Valve executive. While some people have opted to portray how he used to look a few years back, others have chosen to do a more contemporary piece, depicting him with his trademark gray beard and long hair. In fact, one user, who goes by WorstSpawnPossible, has used the AI tool Midjourney to create a portrait that shows Newell as Santa Claus himself, complete with a Christmas hat....

While Valheim is once again the top-ranked game on Steam’s list this week, the second-place game is also Tales of Immortal, again. Valheim has been number one for three weeks, but the Chinese indie survival game that isn’t localized in English has been number two for four weeks. That goes to show how popular Steam and indie game development is in the growing Chinese market, despite China having its own region-locked version of Steam....

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday that Roethlisberger has told members of the Steelers organization that 2021 would be his final season in Pittsburgh. It stands to reason that the 39-year-old quarterback would consider retirement after the season ends; he is in the final year of his contract and his play has declined in recent years. 2022 NFL MOCK DRAFT: Defense dominates Round 1 When he was asked about his future after the Steelers’ 20-19 win over the Ravens on Sunday, Roethlisberger said he’ll talk about it later....

The veteran guard issued a lengthy “PSA” statement Thursday on Twitter, calling for former Pittsburgh players to stop constantly criticizing his current teammates. “Moving forward…any former player or affiliate of the Steelers who has an issue with anyone still in the locker room, please contact me or Maurkice Pouncey or anyone else you feel you can talk to,” Foster wrote. “Whoever you have an issue with, we will get you their number so you can address them....

Pittsburgh’s decision to send a 2020 first-round draft pick to Miami in mid-September in exchange for Fitzpatrick just hours after losing quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for the season in mid-September seemed gutsy at best and borderline reckless at worst. What if the Steelers struggled without their franchise cornerstone? What if the bottom fell out and the draft capital they needed to find Roethlisberger’s successor belonged to the Dolphins instead? They’re not asking those questions anymore....

Don’t lock in Najee Harris to follow Franco Harris from Pittsburgh’s backfield to Canton just yet, but what the 2021 first-rounder from Alabama did in just three series in the Hall of Fame Game suggests the Steelers believe he will be their latest feature workhorse right out of the gate and into the next few years. Najee Harris was advertised as a complete back, a powerful runner between the tackles but also an adept receiver on all kinds of routes....

In tragic news, Stardom wrestler Hana Kimura has passed away at a very early age of 22 after reportedly facing cyber bullying issues. Stardom sent out an official Tweet stating: What happened to Hana Kimura? In what could potentially be a case of Hana Kimura committing suicide, there was major concern about her well-being earlier today after she posted graphic images of self-harm along with a message. When translated, it read the following:...

Bethesda recently showed the first Starfield gameplay, including the game’s character creator. Based on the footage, it does not appear as though players will be able to create an alien character, with all the options being strictly human. The trailer did confirm that there will be animal-like aliens that Starfield players encounter on their adventures, including large insect-like creatures and a beast that resembles a dinosaur with a sci-fi twist....

So far, Bethesda has appeared keener to compare Starfield to Skyrim rather than its more recent Fallout games. The Fallout franchise’s image was hurt by the disappointing reception of Fallout 76, so trying to link the new IP to what likely remains Bethesda’s most iconic game makes sense. However, there is one underrated feature from Fallout that Starfield should take. RELATED: Starfield May Not Be Skyrim or Fallout in ‘Space’...

Sadly, my parents were very nice and loving people, and I have lived a life almost totally devoid of salace. For intimacy, I’m afraid you’re going to have to make do with a medical update. I am, possibly even as you read this, lying on a slab in a Boston hospital undergoing an invasive procedure that is recommended as a preventive precaution for folks of a certain age. I am not a stoic about colds or splinters, and so it has not surprised me—or my wife or anybody else to whom I’ve already kvetched—that this experience has not proved to be an exception....

Under the government’s widely-condemned “Remain in Mexico” policy, formally known as the “Migrant Protection Protocols,” tens of thousands of asylum seekers have been forced to wait in Mexican border towns that the State Department explicitly warns American citizens not to travel to. Published by The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES), the mock State Department video seeks to question how the U.S. can continue to warn Americans to stay away from places like the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, for example, while forcing thousands of vulnerable asylum seekers, including many children, to wait for months in the same region....

RIA Novosti published the article, which erroneously declared, “Ukraine has returned to Russia…It will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state as part of the Russian world…[Russia, Belarus and Ukraine will now act] in geopolitical terms as a single whole,” according to Google Translate. The article is incorrect and was most likely pre-written for publication and then published accidentally. The Russian invasion of Ukraine remains underway. Although Russian and Ukrainian officials began peace talks on Monday, the negotiations and armed conflict remain ongoing as Western nations continue to issue economic and diplomatic sanctions against Russia....

In the following text, which has been published in full, Charlene Cakora urges Haqqani to consider issuing a request to President Joe Biden’s administration for a deal that would see Frerichs freed in exchange for the release of Bashir Noorzai, an Afghan tribal leader arrested on heroin trafficking charges in New York while attempting to advance diplomacy as the U.S.-led war in his country grew increasingly violent in April 2005....

However, the most stunning revelation from the collected data was the growth percentage of each franchise. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) registered a 300% annual growth last year, close to 100% ahead of Manchester United – who grew 204% in 2015/16. Reacting to these statistics, BCCI officials said they were hoping to touch the 100 million unique viewership mark this season. A senior official said, “We are looking to further integrate our fan base this year, so that we can push beyond that 100 million mark....

Cook faced more than 200 balls and looked good to get to his 28th Test century. But those hopes were put to an end after he inside-edged a Mitchell Marsh ball. This is the 7th time he got out in the 90s, apart from scoring 27 100s. Interestingly, all his scores in 90s are between 94 and 96 (3 94s, 2 95s and 2 96s). Seems like the time between 94 and 96 is the most nervous situation for Alastair Cook....

Phil Simmons of West Indies in an ODI against Pakistan in 1992, conceded just 3 runs for his full quota of 10 overs with 8 maidens. His figures read a staggering 10-8-3-4 at an economy of 0.30 that left Pakistan in a mess. In fact, no West Indian bowler in that match conceded more than 3.11 runs an over in the match as Pakistan were bowled out for 81 in 48 overs and lost by 133 runs in Sydney....

Sonic might not be as popular in China, as evidenced by the box office numbers for his surprise hit movie, but on Western shores and in Japan, Sonic is adored by many. After spin dashing onto the Sega Genesis as a true competitor to Mario, Sonic has steadily seen his popularity wane with respect to the games produced bearing his name. Despite this, he has emerged as a star on social media, through memes, fan art, and unusual stories that happen to involve the speedy hedgehog....
