The Blue Raiders have taken the field at Floyd Stadium. Kickoff is coming up.

🚨 CUSA SEMIFINAL UPDATE 🚨 Due to last night’s weather delay, this morning’s semifinal game between No. 2 Liberty and No. 3 Missouri State will resume at 10 a.m. ET ahead of the championship game, which is scheduled for Noon ET on CBS Sports Network. Because of the transition from ESPN+ production operations to CBS Sports Network’s championship broadcast setup, the remainder of the semifinal game will not be available via live streaming coverage. We understand this is disappointing for fans and supporters of both semifinal participants. After evaluating the logistical challenges created by last night’s weather delays and championship broadcast requirements, this decision was made in the best interest of providing appropriate rest time for participating student-athletes. Conference USA will share scoring updates, highlights and postgame coverage from the resumed semifinal game across our social media platforms. Fans are encouraged to follow Conference USA and the participating schools’ official accounts throughout the morning for updates and coverage. Thank you for your continued support of the 2026 Conference USA Baseball Championship.

Let’s walk through how that courtroom drama plays out: Cheater: "Your Honor, Riot bricked my $6,000 PC!" Riot: "Actually, we just updated Vanguard to enforce standard Windows IOMMU security protocols. If they unplug the illegal hardware cheat device from their motherboard, the PC boots perfectly fine." Judge: "Wait, so your computer works, but your specialized cheating hardware doesn't?" Cheater: "Yes! It’s property damage!" Judge: [Bangs gavel so hard it breaks] "Case dismissed. Pay Riot's legal fees." You cannot sue a company because their security system successfully detected your exploit. Riot didn't destroy anything; they just rendered a cheating device useless for cheating. If you spent thousands of dollars on a DMA card just to click on heads in Valorant, your only legal recourse is to sue your parents for giving birth to someone so stupid.

I’m told P4s are absolutely impossible to schedule. I’m told JMU has pulled off the modern equivalent of walking on water

I've gotten a lot of comments like this, so forgive me if this isn't very kind, but I'm at my limit. If you're a serious academic, you've spent a lot of time looking at citations, and you know they often contain errors. You know that it's very common for professors just to copy citations they found in other papers and put them into their own papers because they need a lot of citations to look credible. Given that this is going on, it's kind of silly to think that we should have a kind of death penalty for having an LLM, hallucination mistake What you're doing is virtue signaling and pretending that citations are somehow sacred to what academics do, when in fact they're mostly just poorly put up window dressing. You're being dishonest. Perhaps with yourself, perhaps with me.

Subnautica 2 devs say "go play Sons of the Forest" if you don't like its lack of violence. The game focuses on underwater exploration, and you cannot kill most creatures. On the official Discord, one player asked why killing is impossible in SN2 as it makes no sense. Level designer Artyom O’Rielly replied, “This is not a killing game, so go play Sons of the Forest if you want to kill.” Another developer said, “The team discusses this a lot inside the studio and may let players catch small fish for food, but large creatures will stay safe so the game feels right.” This idea comes from the first Subnautica, as the team wants players to discover things, feel wonder, and live with ocean life instead of fighting it. A fan-made mod already lets players kill creatures, and the studio is reading all feedback. It plans to add better ways to scare off creatures but will not add weapons. Early access is expected to last up to 3 years.
