The Fortnite gods are smiling down upon us, as players can now permanently add some classic characters to their collection for absolutely nothing. Forget nabbing Chord Kahele or Mr. Dappermint for free because several Fortnite favorites have found a new place in our lockers. Epic Games has been gifting gamers plenty in the run-up to Christmas, with a growing sack of presents that includes the popular Fortnite OG , the first-person Fortnite Ballistic , and the upcoming LEGO Fortnite Brick Life . And now, although some have been asking for it since launch, Epic Games has finally added the ability to choose your default skin before jumping into a game. It comes alongside the release of Fortnite OG, which gives players a healthy dose of nostalgia by showing off how the shooter used to look (with a few graphical upgrades). Fortnite finally lets players always choose default Jonesy Over on Reddit, fans joked about how selecting your default skin is basically like Fortnite giving out a free Jonesy. Despite starting out as any other ‘Recruit’, Jonesy has since become a core part of the Fortnite mythos and is arguably the game’s most important original creation. While chances are many players already have an array of different Jones skins , the default selection option is effectively Jonesy The First without having to buy him separately or purchase the Battle Classics Bundle. One Reddit user wrote, “It actually annoys me when I was little, randomizing defaults skins that I don’t like, thank goodness they added this.” They weren’t alone in their praise, with others flocking to the comments to thank Epic for finally letting them pick a default character. Related: As well as someone simply calling it a ‘W’, another cheered, “Oooooh. Yeah I did always think it was weird that it was randomized. Don’t run it much but nice to have the option!” Someone else couldn’t wait to try on their default threads and said, “Gonna run default Jonesy for a few games just [because] I can now.” Although these skins have become associated with bots or tryhards who like to troll by lulling newer players into a false sense of security, the likes of Jonesy have continued to grow in popularity. He might be the MVP of the Recruits, but now, Banshee and Renegade supporters can wear their skins with pride too. Expect to see lobbies filled with default Jonesy, which makes a change from the trend of every game being littered with Slayer Juice WRLD skins after Epic gave them away for free.roulette 77 。

Bryan Johnson, Dave Asprey, Dr Michael Ashenden United With Olympians and Anti-Doping Experts to Forge the Future of Human EnhancementDALLAS (AP) — Juan Soto gets free use of a luxury suite and up to four premium tickets behind home plate for regular-season and postseason New York Mets home games as part of his record $765 million, 15-year contract that was finalized Wednesday. The Mets also agreed to provide personal team security for the All-Star outfielder and his family at the team’s expense for all spring training and regular-season home and road games, according to details of the agreement obtained by The Associated Press. Major League Baseball teams usually provide security for player families in seating areas at ballparks. New York also agreed to assist Soto’s family for in-season travel arrangements, guaranteed Soto will have uniform No. 22 and included eight types of award bonuses. Soto’s suite will be valued at the Mets’ prevailing prices, presumably for tax purposes, and after 2025 he can by each Jan. 15 modify or give up his suite selection for the upcoming season. He can request the premium tickets, to be used by family members, no later than 72 hours before the scheduled game time. The Yankees had refused to offer Soto a free suite. “Some high-end players that make a lot of money for us, if they want suites they buy them ... whether it’s CC (Sabathia), whether it’s (Aaron) Judge, whether it’s (Gerrit) Cole, whether it’s any of these guys,” general manager Brian Cashman said. “We’ve gone through a process on previous negotiations where asks might have happened and this is what we did and we’re going to honor those, so no regrets there.” Cashman said the Yankees have a shared suite for player families and a family room with babysitting. Soto gets a $75 million signing bonus, payable within 60 days of the agreement’s approval by the commissioner’s office. The deal for the 26-year-old, which tops Shohei Ohtani’s $700 million, 10-year contract with the Dodgers, was reached Sunday pending a physical that took place Tuesday. Soto receives salaries of $46,875,000 each in 2025 and 2026, $42.5 million in 2027, $46,875,000 apiece in 2028 and 2029 and $46 million in each of the final 10 seasons. Soto has a contingent right to opt out of the agreement within three days of the end of the 2029 World Series to become a free agent again, but the Mets have the an option to negate the opt-out provision by increasing the yearly salaries for 2030-39 by $4 million annually to $50 million and raising the total value to $805 million. If the club exercises its option to negate the opt-out provision, Soto can make his opt-out decision by the fifth day after the World Series. He has a full no-trade provision and gets a hotel suite on road trips. Soto would receive a $500,000 bonus for winning his first Most Valuable Player award and $1 million for each MVP award. He would get $350,000 for finishing second in the voting and $150,000 for finishing third through fifth. Soto was third in the AL voting this year. He would earn $100,000 for each All-Star selection and Gold Glove, $350,000 for World Series MVP and $150,000 for League Championship Series MVP. Soto would get $100,000 for selection to the All-MLB first or second team, $150,000 for Silver Slugger and $100,000 for the Hank Aaron Award. Award bonuses are to be paid by the Jan. 31 after the season in which the bonus is earned. ___ AP MLB:

Former Uvalde schools police chief loses bid to toss criminal charges related to 2022 shootingAKRON, Ohio – Technology developed at The University of Akron is part of a medical device that was included in TIME Magazine’s The Best Inventions of 2024 list. The publication compiles the list of 200 top inventions each year. Inventions are selected in categories such as consumer electronics, beauty, apps and software, home health, design, food and drink, artificial intelligence, accessibility and more. The magazine’s 2024 list includes a medical device known as Amplio, one of 20 inventions recognized in the medical care category. Amplio is the world’s first wearable 3D full-color surgical microscope, according to a university news release. The surgical microscope offers capabilities such as surgical magnification, fluorescence imaging, night vision, surgical navigation, computer vision, artificial intelligence and augmented reality. Technology developed at the University of Akron improves the device’s surgical lenses, known as loupes, that surgeons use during procedures. These improved lenses offer surgical visualization with microscope functionality and optimized, real-time imaging, according to the release. Yang Liu, an assistant professor in the university’s Department of Biomedical Engineering from 2013 to 2018, developed the technology. Liu and his team also created the device prototypes, according to the release. “We are pleased to see Amplio recognized as one of the year’s top inventions,” University of Akron Research Foundation President Suzanne B. Bausch said in the release. “This device will be a game-changing piece of equipment for surgeons. The University of Akron’s technology plays an integral role in the device.” Unify Medical is the name of the start-up company bringing the Amplio device to market. The company has an exclusive license for the technology from the university through the University of Akron Research Foundation. The university was issued a U.S. patent in December 2020 for the device’s imaging and display system, according to the release. Two other U.S. patent applications and several foreign patent applications for University of Akron-related technology used in Amplio are also pending. “This technology will transform surgical care, optimizing capabilities of surgeons and enhancing patient outcomes,” Kelly Bialek, acting director of technology transfer, intellectual property management and federal reporting in the university’s Office of Technology Transfer, said in the release. “We have worked closely with Unify Medical on the platform technology for several years now, and it is great to see recognition for a technology that is, and will be, transformative.” Want more Akron news?
