The Stardew Valley co-op mode doesn’t support cross-platform play, and remote players will need their own copy of the game/subscription to their console’s online services. This is pretty standard for most co-op games, but with a noticeable push towards cross-platform capabilities, it’s worth knowing that Stardew doesn’t have this (yet). While ConcernedApe works on the upcoming Haunted Chocolatier, there are no immediate plans for more Stardew updates so now is a great time to check out what the co-op mode has to offer....

Cloning is an interesting sci-fi concept because it’s essentially biological. Unlike many other tropes of the genre, it’s based on the reproduction capabilities of real organisms. Sci-fi stories about cloning ask what would happen if science could allow humanity to replicate itself in much the same way as the marbled crayfish. These stories often feature a few interesting tropes that seem to reoccur across the decades. RELATED: The “Life Simulation” Sci-Fi Trope, Explained...

While some sources questioned if Ukraine was responsible, Reuters reported “no immediate indication” the blaze was connected to the war. The fires were reported in the same region Russian officials claimed was hit last week in an attack striking residential buildings and injuring seven people. Videos of the Bryansk blazes circulated widely on social media, showing columns of smoke rising from facilities in the Russian city. NASA’s Fire Information for Resource Management System showed a satellite image of multiple fires....

Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said on social media that two explosions hit the city at around 12:02 p.m. local time, causing power outages.

It’s unclear at this time whether there were any deaths or injuries as a result of the attacks.

Regardless of these two huge boosts to the wrestling scene in the UK, the independent scene has been thriving anyway! But one specific promotion has caused a lot of buzz by popping up out of nowhere and advertising a card that would make most well-established promotions jealous. I am, of course, talking about Fight Forever Wrestling, which has announced a debut tour in December this year featuring the likes of Cody and Brandi Rhodes, Flip Gordon, WWE NXT UK’s Zack Gibson, Travis Banks and Flash Morgan Webster, World of Sport’s Viper and Kay Lee Ray....

UPDATE, April 4: Yesterday, Hillary Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson told reporters on a conference call that the campaign would release Clinton’s tax returns by the end of this week (though the campaign is now saying that it can’t confirm whether the records will actually be released today). With the long-awaited moment possibly at hand, we here at Stumper headquarters thought it’d be useful to revisit last week’s conversation with NEWSWEEK investigative reporter Mark Hosenball about what–and what not–to expect from the data dump....

The midfielder suffered a career-threatening skull injury in a Premier League tie against Chelsea in January 2017 after a clash of heads with Gary Cahill. Despite undergoing surgeries and rehabilitation in an effort to return to the field, the 26-year-old has been forced to retire with immediate effect. And Bentaleb has paid tribute to the former England youth international whom he played alongside in Spurs’ development squad and first team....

WWE.COM: It’s been a while since you starred in a movie. How did you get the part in “Gridlocked”? TRISH STRATUS: After I did “Bounty Hunters,” I became a mom, so that took me away from work for a while. While I was pregnant — I think in my seventh month — we took a babymoon vacation to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and I was tweeting about it. Then I received a text from Adam Copeland [a....

Andrew Coffin, the executive director of the famed Reagan Ranch, told Newsweek he spent the night with three other staffers in sleeping bags in the former president’s Secret Service command post, one of seven structures threatened by the fire. The men have been hosing down the structures, testing sprinklers, laying out hoses and preparing fire hydrants for use should flames get too close. As of 4 p.m. Tuesday, flames were roughly a half-mile away, according to Coffin....

Unlike the story earlier this week about Fumito Ueda leaving the company - which is still considered a rumor - this can be confirmed as a fact. Yoshifusa Hayama, who had been Vice President of Sony for about four years, has officially left the company and is now the creative director of young London studio Bossa, which is currently focusing on making 3D social network games. No information has been given regarding the reason for Hayama’s departure....

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter has now reported that Ric Flair “seems to be a lock” to sign with AEW whenever he’s legally able to do so, i.e., when his non-compete clause with WWE ends. At the moment, the clause will come to an end on 1st November 2021. Unlike the other cuts from WWE this year, Ric Flair had asked for his release himself. The Nature Boy was reportedly unhappy with his booking in the company, especially the storyline involving his daughter Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans earlier in the year....

Over the last 40 years, the Arctic’s summer sea-ice extent has dropped by a staggering 40 percent, scientists say, and now the famous Polarstern research vessel has left port in Bremerhaven, on Germany’s North Sea coast, and is heading to the marginal ice zone north of the Svalbard Islands and off Greenland. The Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) for Polar and Marine Research said in a statement on Tuesday: “Today, the research vessel Polarstern will depart on a seven-week-long voyage to the Arctic, where the onset of summer also marks the beginning of the annual sea-ice melting....

The statement, which highlights a systematic review on screening for vitamin D deficiency, concludes that there is still insufficient evidence to prove that routine vitamin D screening benefits community-dwelling, non-pregnant, asymptomatic adults and therefore does not recommend it. “This is a call for further research to determine a screening recommendation,” John B. Wong, MD, USPSTF member and chief scientific officer of the department of medicine at Tufts Medical Center, tells Verywell....

RELATED: ZeniMax Media Board of Directors Dissolved Bethesda Game Studios will now be developing games under the Xbox umbrella, and to fully appreciate what that means for the Xbox brand, one just has to take a look at the games the studio has developed so far....

Leading up to its theatrical debut, there were a lot of questions surrounding what Spider-Man: No Way Home would include in terms of references and homages to other Spider-Man media. It was clear from the trailers that some sort of crossover content would be in the movie given the appearances of villains like Doc Ock, Electro, and other characters from Sony’s other Spider-Man franchises, but when Tom Holland mentioned that No Way Home features a move from Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man, fans were on the lookout during screenings to see exactly which move Holland was referring to....
