Stardew Valley players have got together for what is one of the most wholesome stories you'll have heard in 2022, as they've been sharing heartfelt messages for Game creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone. Earlier this week, Barone explained that the mobile version of Update 1.5 would take a little bit longer than expected to "ensure quality," apologizing to fans for not hitting the end of year target he and his team had promised. Instead of responding with anger - something that is all too common these days when Game s are delayed - Stardew Valley fans went in the opposite direction, putting together a megathread on the Game 's subreddit thanking Barone for his hard work and explaining how the Game has impacted their lives.

YouTube can be a completely baffling place for creators. Whether it's people abusing its copyright system, or the platform demonetizing and age-restricting videos for the lightest of swears, creators have had to constantly adapt their content to ensure they can make a living. Even then, it's sometimes not enough, as popular YouTuber RT Game has had dozens of his videos age-restricted after appealing the decision of just one. Earlier this week, the creator's annual Best of RT Game 2022 video was age-restricted to 18+ and slapped with limited ads for "no reason." To make matters worse, shortly after having his appeal rejected, RT Game 's playthrough of Supermassive title The Quarry was also age-restricted with limited ads. Another appeal and another rejection.

The atmospheric river impacting the West Coast, while creating dangerous conditions for millions, could have a chance of temporarily reversing drought conditions. The atmospheric river currently impacting the West Coast, while creating dangerous weather conditions for millions of people, could possibly have a chance of temporarily reversing drought conditions in states that desperately need water, experts say. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration describes atmospheric rivers as "rivers in the sky" because they're somewhat long and narrow regions in the atmosphere that send most of the water vapor outside the tropics. The atmospheric river usually brings heavy rain, wind and snow to areas that it flows through, particularly on the West Coast, according to NOAA. Despite the sustained levels of rain and snow, some experts think it's too early to determine if the latest atmospheric river will do enough to reverse drought conditions, and they say they...

It's almost the end of 2022 and that means it's almost time for HBO's The Last Of Us adaptation. Ahead of the show's premiere, the minds behind it have been revealing how exactly the massive project came together. Among the new information shared by the showrunners was the reveal that more than 100 actors auditioned for the role of Ellie. Speaking during an interview with SFX (thanks, Naughty Dog Central), The Last Of Us writer Craig Mazin revealed just how extensive the search for a live-action Ellie was. Confirming that more than 100 actors auditioned for the role, but not divulging which other notable names read for Ellie but didn't get picked, Mazin also revealed Bella Ramsey was actually the very first person he saw audition for the role.

This is quite a strange one right here folks, as apparently this man came across aliens that filled his body with alcohol and sent him into the past. This man claimed to have belonged to the year 2048 as he was being arrested by the police officers on the 2nd of October. Bryant Johnson was found on the streets causing a lot of ruckus, trying to explain to the public that he came from 2048 and that aliens were conspiring against him all along. This all transpired in 2017, as he claimed that he was meant to be sent to 2018 but because of the alcohol in his body, he was sent a year earlier. His blood was reported to have a total alcohol content of .136 and although he clearly believed in what he was saying, the police didn’t listen to a single word he had to say.

As soon as Gonzalo Montiel stroked his spot-kick home and we'd enjoyed Lionel Messi's celebrations with the prize his genius deserves, all of our attentions switched back to club allegiances. The countdown is on, folks. Sure, Christmas is cool but Boxing Day is where it's really at. At Sunday lunchtime, with our stomachs satiated and heads perhaps a little sore, we'll all sit down to enjoy the first serving of Premier League Football since 13 November. It's back, baby! The situation at the top is one very few foreshadowed, especially after Erling Haaland made the switch to Manchester.

But will the Gunners be able to maintain their incredibly high levels of performance after the World Cup?

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is not expecting the club to sell James Maddison in the January transfer window and is ‘confident’ the star midfielder will stay a Foxes player. Maddison has been central to Leicester’s resurgence following a surprisingly poor start to the season that left the club bottom of the Premier League by early October. Leicester took 16 points from a possible 24 in the eight Game s prior to the World Cup and Maddison was called into England’s squad for the tournament as a result. His form hasn’t gone unnoticed by other clubs and 90min reported earlier this month that the 26-year-old is Newcastle’s top target in next month’s transfer window. The Magpies were uncertain even then whether a deal in January would be doable, with summer more realistic. Now, Rodgers has further quashed the possibility of Maddison moving in the coming weeks. “I've been given no indication that we have to do anything with James in January. He is someone I want to keep here,” the Lei...

We are facing an anomaly over South Atlantic, researchers are calling it South Atlantic Anomaly. It is a region of the Earth’s magnetic field that has shifted so much that satellites get disrupted when they fly through it. The researchers provided information acquired from southern Africa in a research paper, which was published in February, that might help us figure out what the heck is going on in the South Atlantic Anomaly, which stretches from Chile to Zimbabwe. It is weakening, though there might be various causes for this. The Earth’s magnetic field, in reality, switches polarity very frequently – on average, every several million years. A million years is a long period, but in the big scheme of the Earth’s billions of years of geological History , these magnetic field reversals are very common. As the researchers note in their paper, that process may be repeating — however the actual composition of the Earth’s mantle beneath the field may also play a rol...

Daniel Ricciardo admits he is "curious" to see how he fares on the Red Bull simulator as he returns to the team four years after his exit. The Australian will take the position of reserve driver at the Milton Keynes-based squad in 2023, having been left without a seat on the grid following his departure from McLaren. Despite struggling during the past two years, Ricciardo previously experienced success whilst at Red Bull and earned seven of his eight race wins with the outfit before he left at the end of 2018. He was also able to get within a tenth of a second of Max Verstappen in qualifying. As such, Ricciardo would be keen to see how he compares to his past form via the simulator. Ricciardo 'curious' about pace in Red Bull "Going back to Red Bull, I think there is, of course, an element of me which is curious in terms of just jumping on the sim and se...

Governor Kathy Hochul grants clemency to 13 incarcerated individuals, including a domestic abuse survivor. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has granted clemency to 13 people, including a domestic violence survivor and nine people facing immigration consequences as a result of decade-old convictions. "Clemency is a powerful tool that can be exercised to advance the interests of justice and fairness , and to recognize efforts made by individuals to improve not only their own lives but the lives of those around them," Hochul said in a statement Tuesday. Nine people with strong ties to the United States who are facing barriers to U.S. citizenship or residency have been granted pardons. Many have lived in the U.S. for the majority of their lives and will be reunited with their families in the country following their release, avoiding deportation, according to a statement from Hochul’s office. "These grants of clemency serve not only to acknowledge the steps these individuals ha...

Ahead of an expected deluge of GOP probes, President Joe Biden's son Hunter has retained high-powered defense lawyer Abbe Lowell to help navigate congressional oversight. Ahead of an expected deluge of Republican probes , Hunter Biden has retained high-powered defense lawyer Abbe Lowell to help navigate congressional oversight, according to another attorney for the president's son. The Department of Justice is currently probing the younger Biden over whether he paid sufficient taxes on income he received while serving on the board of directors of a Ukrainian natural gas company, as well as the manner in which he paid off tax obligations in recent years. Congressional Republicans last month unveiled plans to push ahead with an investigation into President Joe Biden's family once the GOP takes control of the House in January. Lawmakers said their primary focus will be finding out whether the elder Biden was more involved in his son's dealings than previously known...

Following the Twitter poll that ended earlier this week, Elon Musk has claimed that he's going to step down as the site's CEO once a replacement has been found. That might not happen any time soon though, as the billionaire has claimed that he's looking for someone "foolish enough to take the job." This news shortly after Musk tweeted out a poll asking Twitter users to vote on whether he should resign as CEO. The poll ended with over 17.5 million votes cast and 57.5 percent of them in favor of Musk stepping down. It's worth noting that there seemed to be several instances in which Musk threatened to redo the poll with only Twitter Blue subscribers as potential voters, but it seems he will in fact step down after all. Instead of CEO, Musk says he will "just run the software & servers teams."
