Steam Replay is something fun that Valve decided to do for 2022. It’s a year-end wrap-up that Valve put together for every Steam user. Users could see how much time they spent playing games on Steam, what games were their favorites, how many achievements they unlocked, data for specific games, and a variety of other interesting information. If nothing else, it’s a great opportunity for Steam users to look back long after 2022 ended to see what they spent their PC gaming time on....

That all changed yesterday. Rolling out a massive list of new features was the Steam Discovery Update which aimed to help Steam users find games that they’re more likely to enjoy whilst giving equal weight to smaller indie titles and big blockbusters. Ideally, gamers would be able to find more diamonds in the popular rough. One new Steam feature that could also help us with this is Steam Curators, a system which allows uers to read reviews and recommendations from publications and Steam community groups....

Watt rolled into the right leg of Ryan during the Steelers’ 41-17 victory last Sunday and was called for roughing the passer. Watt, who had three sacks and was named the AFC defensive player of the week, said earlier in the week that he pulled his hands off the quarterback and that can be seen in the film. Houston’s J.J. Watt, T.J.’s older brother, tweeted “That is insanity” and “$20,000 for this?...

The Browns have two matchups against the winless Bengals and a home game against the two-win Dolphins on their schedule in the coming weeks. There’s still a chance that they can salvage their season, but a hiccup in this contest would decrease their playoff odds even more. After all, they’ll have to travel to Pittsburgh in a couple weeks for a rematch and will also square off against the surging Ravens in Week 16....

Kameron Kelly went from being unemployed after the AAF folded to making the 53-man roster for the Steelers in the span of a few months. Now he’s been taking first-team reps since starting free safety Sean Davis is still sidelined with an ankle injury. Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that Davis’ status is up in the air and said he wasn’t sure if Davis will be able to practice Wednesday....

When the Steelers selected Pittsburgh passer Kenny Pickett in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, it was only a matter of time until Mike Tomlin and Co. would turn to the rookie in the fall. His time came on Sunday, in a loss to the Jets, when he replaced a struggling Mitch Trubisky. But Pickett’s cup of coffee is turning into an extended stay atop the depth chart, which is exactly where he was Tuesday as the Steelers look ahead to their Week 5 game at the Bills....

For the first time since the receiver’s one-year suspension was handed down on Monday, the Steelers president issued public comments regarding Bryant’s status and expressed his desire to help him seek treatment. MORE: Grading NFL free agency produces ugly report cards | Bryant won’t lose contract year “It is very disappointing. At the same time, we hope, to the extent where it is allowable, we will try to get him help, make sure he gets rehab and those kinds of things, but it is a disappointing situation to say the least,” Rooney said, via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review....

The latest piece of fan art centered around these characters comes from Reddit user frecklemess, who has reimagined a number of Stardew Valley’s NPCs in the style of Studio Ghibli. Additionally, the fan artist appears to want to introduce these new character portraits into the in-game experience through the thriving modding community that continues to grow online. RELATED: Stardew Valley Fan Crafts Real-Life Void Chicken So far, the characters that have been given this new Studio Ghibli treatment are the twelve romance-able characters that players will usually spend the most time interacting with throughout a playthrough....

RELATED: Stardew Valley: Things You Have To Do Your First Year A quest given in a Secret Note by the mysterious Mr. Qi tasks players with reaching Level 100 of Skull Cavern in return for a reward. Players are advised to wait until their second year on Stardew Valley before attempting this, so they have time to prepare and gather important supplies. 8 A Way Down – Staircases and Holes Staircases are a crafting recipe made with 99 stones, unlocked at Level 2 Mining....

Completing the Community Center is a lengthy task that typically takes players multiple in-game years and requires spending a significant amount of gold to purchase crop seeds, animals, and upgraded tools such as axes and fishing rods. The Version 1.5 update of the game, which was released in late 2020, allowed Stardew players to vary up the Community Center’s requirements each play-through by enabling Remix Bundles, which need different combinations of ingredients when compared to the standard bundles released in the base version of the game....

Creator Eric Barone’s original concept was to relive the early Harvest Moon games, but with new content and updates to keep the game fresh and new. Instead of ending the story after two in-game years, Barone wanted to keep it going. This hadn’t been done yet, so he released Stardew Valley in 2016. Since then, it has received a number of updates, such as the multiplayer update that came with Version 1....

Starfield’s main quest, like Skyrim’s World-Eater plotline, appeals to the existential, promising “humanity’s final journey” and answers to “life’s greatest mystery.” Despite the larger stakes, it’s also apparent that, as in Skyrim, humanity hasn’t lost its appetite for petty conflict. There have been several indications that Starfield’s secondary plotline, like Skyrim’s civil war, will involve some surprisingly similar factions duking it out. Skyrim’s civil war questline, however, was far from perfect....

However, fans do know when they can expect more information. Todd Howard recently indicated that Bethesda plans on rolling out Starfield gameplay information by next summer. While that doesn’t necessarily nail down the exact time and place that Starfield gameplay will get revealed, mentioning summer offers a huge clue. Bethesda might be aiming for E3 2022 as the site of Starfield’s big reveals. If Bethesda premieres Starfield gameplay at the next E3, then it’ll almost certainly be a major talking point....

We all know this, of course. It’s almost certainly cleaner than in the past, but there’s too much money and fame and glory on the line to not expect at least some competitive athletes to try to push every possible boundary in an effort to get better. As fans of the sport, we’d all love to live in some blissful alternative reality where players are competing on a completely level playing field, but we’re not that naive, no matter how much we might want to be blissfully ignorant....

After sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos had made international headlines with their black power salutes from the Olympic podium in Mexico City, Avery Brundage, the right-wing American who was at the time the head of the International Olympic Committee, ordered their expulsion from the Olympic village and suspension from the U.S. team. I wrote Brundage decrying his decision, insisting that the two men had represented our country with great dignity on and off the track and that their protest embodied America’s finest free-speech traditions....

A few years ago, Kraft had the chance to make one of the great financial killings in NFL history. Make that in corporate history. All he had to was move his football team a few Drew Bledsoe bombs, or about 75 miles, west to Hartford, where Connecticut had promised a new state-of-the-game stadium, 10 years of sellouts and enough financial incentives to make a grown man weep. Kraft almost took the deal....

Instead of rotating the World Series opener between the American and National Leagues, that privilege would be awarded to whichever league triumphed on All-Star Tuesday. Far more important, winning the All-Star Game would also deliver the home-field advantage in any World Series seventh game. That isn’t so huge an edge that it would throw baseball’s balance out of whack; after all, only seven World Series have gone the distance since 1980....

After a near collision near the boards, Roussel took his stick to McQuaid’s upper chest/throat area. He was handed a five-minute major and spent some time in the dressing room before returning to the ice. MORE: Lehtonen better than Enroth | Biting in hockey The Stars ended up winning the game, 5-3, but the cross-check will cost Roussel a game Friday at home against the Panthers and on the road Saturday against the Avalanche....

The Indian Grand Prix 4 meeting was arranged by the federation after foreign tours of some elite Indian athletes were not granted permission because of COVID-19 protocols in those countries. The Indian Grand Prix 4 meeting will provide some elite Indian athletes with the perfect opportunity to have a crack at the direct Olympic qualification mark with the entry deadline date for the athletics divisions coming ever closer (29 June, 2020)....

Baseball, football and basketball have long had a strong hold on the American sporting psyche. Football has a primitive, blue-collar appeal; basketball has an urban following and baseball inspires intellectuals to wax cloyingly about the boys of summer cavorting on verdant fields of green. Stock-car racing never had much cachet (a word that no self-respecting stock-car fan would ever use). It was a Southern pastime for good ole boys, who dipped Skoal and liked getting their hands greasy workin’ on engines....
