“I’m sick of it. I don’t even know why we bring up the daggum word,” Swinney said after the Tigers’ 43-24 victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday. Swinney added that his team hasn’t lost to an unranked opponent since 2011. He only built up more anger as he continued talking.

Regarding the matter, it looks to be that any of the stories, characters, or themes which aren’t covered or explored in depth throughout the main plot line of Cyberpunk 2077 will be more fully fleshed out in the game’s side quests. What’s more is that CD Projekt Red wants to assure fans that the side quests won’t be “filler” and will not be designed as “something to do while waiting for the next quest, or to get more money to buy the next thing”....

In the tweet, Momot negatively replies to a fan question asking if dual wielding will be in Cyberpunk 2077. This comes as disappointing news to fans wanting to emulate the practice seen in many cyberpunk works such as The Matrix and Shadowrun and is yet another feature that has been removed from the game. RELATED: How Cyberpunk 2077 Can Learn From The Witcher 3 Interestingly, dual wielding was already seen in the first-ever gameplay footage of Cyberpunk 2077, albeit on an NPC....

The cyberpunk genre may have existed before CD Projekt Red’s slightly infamous but no less popular Cyberpunk 2077, but the recent game helped to launch it further into the video game community. Cyberpunk 2077 has even inspired other titles, with its neon aesthetics, economically-divided futuristic settings, and corporation-controlled society helping to set the scene for other games with a similar look and feel. Citizen Sleeper looks like it could exist in the same niche as Cyberpunk 2077, and fans of the latter should really check it out when they can....

Cyberpunk is a futuristic vision of the world characterized by a frequently nihilistic attitude that explores themes of information technology, artificial intelligence, and the seedy underbelly of the future. Popularized by authors like William Gibson and Neal Stephenson, cyberpunk is sort of like the lovechild of traditional futuristic sci-fi and film noir, complete with hardboiled antiheroes and contemporary anxieties. Sounds great, right? While adaptations of works like I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream and Blade Runner have made phenomenal cyberpunk games, there are significantly fewer ones that are wholly original....

The game marked the inauguration of the newly-refurbished Kalinga Stadium, which is set to host the men’s hockey World Cup here from November 28 to December 16. Courtesy severe rains coupled with high winds because of Cyclone ‘Titli’, there were series doubts about the grand inauguration ceremony planned by the state government, the official hosts of the event, but the inclement weather failed to dampen the spirits as former and present stars of Indian hockey joined hands to play an exhibition match on the occasion....

Cytomel replaces the hormone that the thyroid is no longer producing. This medication can also be used in higher doses to suppress thyroid function during treatment for thyroid cancer. Cytomel is an oral medication that comes in tablet form What Is Cytomel Used For? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Cytomel to treat hypothyroidism. In hypothyroidism, the thyroid is no longer functioning correctly and cannot make other hormones, such as T3 or T4, which are important hormones for many body functions....

As it turns out, Ledecka’s skills on a mountain are good enough to succeed in both competitive disciplines. There was a perfect storm of obstacles that Ledecka had to overcome to achieve what appeared to be an impossible task. Repeated weather postponements led American ski star Mikaela Shiffrin to drop out of the Super-G competition, leading many to believe that reigning champion Anna Veith of Austria would be a lock for the gold medal....

The 31-year-old Safarova announced her decision on Saturday in Prague before the Fed Cup final between the Czech Republic and United States. “I had a great career but my health doesn’t allow me to continue,” Safarova said. She helped the Czechs win four Fed Cup titles but is not in the current team. Safarova said her decision was forced by health problems that have marred her career in recent years....

Griezmann reveals MLS dream United will retain an option to buy the 24-year-old Costa Rican at the end of the 2017 season. “José is coming off a very good year in 2016 and we are very pleased to have secured his services in a one-year loan,” DCU general manager Dave Kasper said in a club release. “His energy and movement create problems for opposing defenses, and he has a nose for the goal....

Talking about the shambolic display in a post match Press Conference, Honnappa conceded that the Warriors were supreme in defence and that did them in, “It was a very tight game last night, but then they kept getting those super tackles in and that is what cost us dear. We did really well in defence too but they scored the crucial tackle points and that proved crucial.” In what turned out to be a low-scoring encounter, raiders from both teams struggled to sneak in points and Honnappa was quick to point the same, “Our strength has been our raiding....

“This is honest to God truth,” Swinney said in 2016. “I had no idea my name was even William until like the third grade because of those scantrons.” Swinney’s gone by Dabo for most of his life because of a mispronunciation by his brother Tripp when they were both small children. His name is well known across the country now as one of the highest-paid and best college football coaches in the land at Clemson....

There’s no denying the fact that when it comes to parenting, fathers have stepped up their efforts over the past 50 years or more. According to the Pew Research Center, back in 1965, dads contributed an average of around 2.5 hours a week on child care. By comparison, data collected in 2016 found fathers spent an average of eight hours a week on child care—nearly three times what was reported in 1965....

Gareth Southgate’s side eased their way through qualification, with an unbeaten run delivering 26 points and only three goals conceded. England have, however, made a habit of reaching major finals with the minimum of fuss, only to then suffer humbling falls from grace on the grandest of stages. Ex-Rangers man Prso expects history to repeat itself in Russia, with other leading lights from across Europe set to lead the charge for global glory....
