Daniil Medvedev said on Monday it was “easy” getting over his Australian Open final defeat by Jannik Sinner, unlike his reaction to his loss to Rafael Nadal at the same stage two years ago. Medvedev blew a two-set lead in both the 2022 and 2024 Australian Open finals, but while he is “still disappointed” about the result against Nadal, he feels good about his performance against Sinner last month. “To be honest, ‘get over’ was quite easy. As I said after the match, I felt like it would be easy because I played a great tournament, I played a good…
We’re not saying any of the Terminids in Helldivers 2 are appealing to look at, but the Bile Spewers are disgusting even in comparison to others like the Charger.

Not only can their acid kill you outright if you take a full mouthful, but the Spewer itself isn’t a pushover in terms of health. Like any bug, it isn’t invincible and there are…
Donald Trump on Monday appealed a judge’s decision to impose $354.9 million in penalties on the former president and curtail his ability to do business in New York state for fraudulently exaggerating his net worth to secure better loan terms.

The penalties, along with sizeable jury awards in two other civil cases, could become a drain on Trump’s cash reserves and hobble parts of his real estate empire as he pursues…

Being able to hear your games clearly is almost as important as being able to see them. Your Xbox Series X can handle the visual aspects just fine, but audio is down to your own setup. In a lot of cases, you may be playing in a shared space where you can’t get away with blasting your game at maximum volume for full immersion, but also can’t afford to invest in some expensive headsets. If you’ve already got a pair of AirPods laying around, those could be a great solution, though it might seem impossible to pair them to your…
