While interacting with students of a university in Ahmedabad, Gambhir said Kohli still has a long way to go as far as captaincy is concerned. “Kohli was very good in the last World Cup but he has a long way to go. He captains so well in international cricket because he has got Rohit Sharma, he had MS Dhoni for a long time. Captaincy credentials are noticed when you are leading a franchise, when you do not have other players supporting you,” the cricketer-cum-politician was quoted....

Although California is usually a solidly Democratic state, the poll shows the race becoming closer. Newsom held a three-point lead in March and a five-point lead in July, according to the poll report.

“CA’s large-scale testing and early detection systems have found the Omicron COVID-19 variant in California,” Newsom tweeted, adding that Americans “should assume that it’s in other states as well.” “There’s no reason to panic–but we should remain vigilant,” the governor’s tweet continued. “That means get vaccinated.

A blog post put out by The Coalition highlights a number of radical changes to Gears 5’s systems in the name of creating a simpler, easier way to get content for players who “felt limited” by time and wanted to meaningfully invest in the game. The scrap and supply systems, which it said were “overly complicated” and did not always provide players the items they wanted, are gone. So is the Totem system, making it so characters can be unlocked whenever someone gets any skin associated with them....

GameStonks (an affectionate nickname borrowed from the beloved “Stonks Guy” meme) was a baffling episode from earlier this year wherein a team of amateur investors on Reddit attempted to turn the tables on Wall Street. Upon learning that a handful of hedge funds intended to short stock in GameStop (a process by which investors “borrow” stock in a struggling company, sell it off, wait for the price to drop and buy it back cheaper, pocketing the difference), Wall Street Bets decided to heavily invest in the company’s stock and artificially inflate the price, wrecking the stockbrokers’ plans and potentially leaving them millions in debt....

The interview began with the oft-repeated mock surprise that McGonigal was indeed a gamer AND a female, and then moved onto jokes suggesting that most online gamers are really just “fifteen year-old boy[s] in [their] underwear” and that gaming is the sanctuary of choice for socially awkward high-school males. McGonigal quickly debunked some of these statements by offering statistics that may be surprising to some: 40% of gamers are female, 94% of girls under 18 play video games, and currently, there are 500 million gamers worldwide devoting 3 billion online hours a week to their craft....

When times are good, the rats inhabit subways, sewers and basements by day.
