The delay in adding Orisa to Competitive in Overwatch was done to give players time to learn how to play the new character before taking her into ranked games. This approach makes sense, as in the past, fans eager to play new heroes may have been a liability for their team since they didn’t have proper time to practice before taking them into Competitive. Blizzard has been more mindful about introducing Orisa to the game than it has been with past characters in areas besides Competitive as well....

Mark Trumbo delivered a tiebreaking, two-run single in the eighth inning, Chris Davis homered and Baltimore beat the Kansas City Royals 5-3 Wednesday night to end a seven-game losing streak. Jonathan Schoop had two hits and scored twice for the Orioles, who lost 18 of their previous 21 games. “One game, it’s good to come in the clubhouse and have people feel good about themselves and shake hands and listen to some form of music I had nothing to do with picking out,” manager Buck Showalter said with a thin smile....

OFFICIAL: Draxler completes PSG move The Spain international has had a tough few months which led to a long spell out of the first team, due to both injury and non-selection after a switch of formation. In fact, Fabregas was out of the Chelsea team for over two-and-a-half months after the Blues’s 3-0 defeat to Arsenal led to Conte rethinking his plans. Fabregas had to be patient after an injury prolonged his spell away from Conte’s first team as the Blues went onto win after win before Nemanja Matic’s injury drafted him into a pivotal battle against Manchester City, where his stunning pass to Diego Costa for the equaliser swung the match as Chelsea won 3-1 at the Eithad Stadium....

"Make way," hefty bodyguards bark at the end of the day as they usher 27-year-old Pistorius, who is free on bail, past jostling journalists and onlookers to a vehicle with tinted windows outside the courthouse in Pretoria, South Africa's capital. The drama in the North Gauteng High Court captivates people around the world and especially South Africans, many of whom are getting a look at their own criminal justice system for the first time because, under a judge's rare order, much of the trial is being televised....

The most common affected areas are the femur (thigh), tibia (shin), and humerus (upper arm) bones. The cancerous cells often develop near the ends of the bones. Although this cancer can occur in young children and older adults, it most often affects teenagers and young adults. The average age at the time of diagnosis is 15 years old, and approximately 75% of osteosarcoma patients are under 25 years old....

The All-Star closer met his new Astros teammates Sunday and addressed the club for 10 minutes in a closed-door meeting after completing a 75-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy. The defending World Series champions acquired Osuna on Monday in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays while he was still serving his penalty. The reliever was arrested and charged with assaulting his girlfriend May 8 in Toronto....

Anime and manga were more present at Tokyo Comic Con 2022 than they had been at any past years. Typically, anime can be found mostly at anime events in Japan, and Comic Con has been more of a place for Marvel, Star Wars, Harry Potter, DC, and that sort of media. This year, though, there was plenty for otaku to see alongside all the usual Comic Con paraphernalia, which was great for fans who like both sides....

The WWE SmackDown Superstar has had long hair and a beard ever since he debuted on WWE television in 2016. However, as the picture below shows, he had a very different look when he dressed as fictional supervillain Bane for Halloween in 2013. Otis also posted the image on his Instagram account, prompting lots of responses saying he looked like RETRIBUTION member T-Bar. T-Bar (fka Dominik Dijakovic in NXT) has been compared to Bane since he began wearing a similar mask to the DC Comics character in September....

DEPRESSION, DYSLEXIA, violence, obesity, homosexuality: these are among the human attributes for which a “gene” has been “found” in the last two years alone. Notice two things about the list: first, they are mostly (not all) unhappy afflictions; and second, they are all without exception minority characteristics (meaning relatively few people have them). Human genetics need not be this way. The really interesting genes are the majority genes, that ones we all share, the ones that make us human....

In a post shared on Mumsnet on Friday, under the username EJLx, the soon-to-be mom wrote that she is about eight months pregnant with a baby girl, which both she and her partner of eight years wanted very much and planned. Until a few months ago, she was living the dream, but when she was about six months pregnant, things started to change. He left her for the first time then, just to come back, saying he made a mistake....

The clip was filmed covertly by a Native American student at John W. North High School in Riverside, California, because he “felt that violence was being committed against him.” The footage shows the white teacher, with feathers on her head, war hooping and tomahawk chopping in front of her class, who are looking on in awkward silence. Native American activist and businesswoman Akalei Brown, who told Newsweek she shared the video on behalf of the male student’s family, posted it to Instagram on October 20....

The Trickster is a close-range, time-oriented damage dealer, whereas People Can Fly describes the Pyromancer as a “mid range AOE damage dealer.” The next class, one which has yet to appear in a broadcast, is the Devastator. It appears to be a close-range tank class, capable of armoring up to take damage and creating seismic earthquakes. It’s had a little less screentime than others in Outriders, but its four known-about skills are Earthquake, Golem, Gravity Jump, and Reflect Bullets....

There are a few ways that Outriders has implemented improvements that elevates the looting system in a way that is rewarding both in the endgame content, as well as during the initial run through the story. The most important mechanic is the crafting system that allows players to make the most out of the loot they find, even if it doesn’t initially have the best rolls available.

However, Outriders’ struggles did not end with the close of April. The multiplayer matchmaking issues and inventory wipe bug in Outriders that were first encountered during the game’s launch week continued on throughout the month, along with other issues such as frozen sign-in screens and bugs on certain mod perks. PCF has been making slow progress on fixing these various problems, but many players feel the developer is taking too long to make meaningful changes....

On Wednesday, festival planners won permit approval for marijuana sales from the San Francisco Office of Cannabis, which will be conducted in a designated smoking area called “Grass Lands.” “It’s going to be a landmark moment for the end of prohibition,” Alex Fang, co-founder of Oakland cannabis company Sublime, told the San Francisco Chronicle. Public consumption of cannabis is generally illegal in California, but Outside Lands will work in compliance with new rules developed by the Office of Cannabis, setting apart marijuana sales from the rest of the festival behind an opaque barrier....
