Despite WoW Classic being, surprise surprise, a classic version of World of Warcraft , the game's director views the Hardcore version of WoW to be a lot closer to that classic feeling thanks to how it forces players to play. Introduced last year, Hardcore WoW is a mode that, while using the same servers as WoW Classic, adds a permadeath mechanic, challenging players to reach the endgame without dying a single time. While this mechanic certainly wasn't around in WoW's early days, in an interview in Edge issue 405, game director Ion Hazzikostas confirms that he believes it captures that classic experience better. "It's definitely not for everyone," he clarifies, though he feels that it "better captured the actual feel of 2004 or 2005 World of Warcraft better than the 2019 Classic release did." Rather than reflecting the game itself, Hazzikostas believes that the permadeath mechanic causes players to put more stock into their adventure as a whole, rather than simply beelining to the late-game content. "Every step of the way mattered," Hazzikostas says of the early days of World of Warcraft, whereas nowadays, "endgame is all that matters." For him and many other players, Hardcore WoW allowed them to rediscover a love for the game as a whole. "It wasn't just being on that journey alone, it was like this group of players versus the world, relying on each other." World of Warcraft has received criticism from players in the last few years, and more recently with regards to its handling of loot from events. WoW Hardcore, however, has been a particularly bright spot in the game's recent history, with the mode proving exceedingly popular with the game's player base.

TAIPEI , Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cordyceps Sunshine Biotech Holdings Co., Ltd. 【C.S 】 Group , Taiwan's largest chain specializing in Taiwanofungus products, has officially announced its entry into the global pet medication market with a groundbreaking new drug. On November 30, 2024 , the company co-hosted the "Taiwanofungus Fungal Technology and Pharmacological Research Progress Seminar" in Taipei with the Chinese Herbal Fungi Industry Research and Development Association (CHFIRDA). During the seminar, 【C.S 】 Group revealed plans to produce a topical ointment using Antcin A , a key compound extracted from Taiwanofungus , aiming to address the demand in the global steroid-based pet medication market. Extraction and purification of the key compound in Taiwanofungus, Antcin A. Vincent Liu , director at 【C.S 】 Group , highlighted the company's unique position as one of the few biotech startups capable of vertically integrating the entire production chain—from fungal strain development, cultivation, extraction, and purification to large-scale production and distribution. It is expected that the active ingredients will be further extracted, making it an ideal candidate for the development of botanical new drugs. A report by Market Research Engine projects the global botanical drugs market to reach $47.4 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. Antcin A, a signature sterol compound derived from Taiwanofungus, serves as a precursor for many bioactive compounds but is challenging to extract due to its scarcity in wild strains. Leveraging proprietary breeding techniques and patent-protected cultivation methods, 【C.S 】 Group has successfully optimized the production of Antcin A, enabling scalable extraction and purification. Entering the Global Steroid-Based Pet Medication Market Dr. Jia-Xin Huang , a renowned Taiwanofungus expert, The effects of Antcin A have been recognized by the industry for a long time. However, the extraction process requires a large amount of Taiwanofungus raw materials, which is very costly and few industry players can overcome it. As a result, the market demand far exceeds the supply. If it is to be commercialized in the short term, it is very suitable to be introduced into the pet external preparation market first. Dr. Chiao Li , a U.S. listing advisor for 【C.S 】 Group , emphasized the immense potential of the global pet market, particularly in North America . According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), as of 2017-2018, there were 84.6 million pet-owning households in the U.S., with 94.2 million cats and 89.7 million dogs. The pet industry is projected to reach $150 billion by 2024. Furthermore, Asia has emerged as a fast-growing pet market, with substantial growth momentum. In developed regions like Europe and the U.S., spending on pets—including medical care, medications, food, and insurance—is well-established. As pet ownership rises globally, fueled by aging populations and declining birth rates, demand for pet medications is expected to increase. Innovative Solutions for a Growing Market Dalan Huang , President of 【C.S 】 Group , cited a Research Nester report projecting the global pet medication market to reach $22.58 billion by 2024, with a CAGR exceeding 9.7% through 2036, potentially surpassing $69.8 billion . Steroids remain a common treatment option but are often stigmatized due to their side effects. With the anti-inflammatory efficacy of Antcin A, 【C.S 】 Group aims to introduce a novel steroid alternative that reduces reliance on conventional steroids while minimizing side effects, a solution likely to appeal to both veterinarians and pet owners. The Taiwanese pet medication market is valued at approximately NT$60 billion , with NT$12 billion attributed to livestock and NT$48 billion to pets. Taiwan's Institute for Economic Research (TIER) estimates that the pet population will reach 4 million by 2025, ensuring steady market growth. Promising Growth in the U.S. Capital Market In recent years, the U.S. capital market has introduced pet-themed ETFs, reflecting the long-term revenue potential of the pet industry, where the average pet lifespan of 10-15 years provides stable income streams resilient to economic fluctuations. 【C.S 】 Group 's classification in the U.S. stock market as a company specializing in medicinal plants is supported by its exclusive cultivation techniques for Taiwan's native Taiwanofungus . With large-scale production facilities in Taiwan , the company has achieved a CAGR of 41% in the Taiwanese market between 2023 and 2024. Building on the Asia pacific herbal health and pharmaceutical markets, 【C.S 】 Group 's expansion into the global pet steroid medication market is set to drive significant revenue growth with a bright outlook ahead. SOURCE Cordyceps SunshineBy Stephen Whyno, The Associated Press LANDOVER, Md. — Austin Seibert missed his second extra point of the game with 21 seconds left after Washington’s Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin connected on an 86-yard touchdown, Dallas' Juanyeh Thomas returned the ensuing onside kick attempt for a touchdown, and the Cowboys pulled out a 34-26 victory Sunday that extended the Commanders' skid to three games. Seibert, who missed the previous two games with a right hip injury, was wide left on the point-after attempt following a low snap. Thomas then took the kick back 43 yards as the Cowboys (4-7) ended their losing streak at five in improbable fashion. Part of that was the play of backup Cooper Rush, who threw for 247 yards and two TDs in his third start in place of starter Dak Prescott. Part was also the defense forcing two turnovers, as Chauncey Golston ripped the ball out of Brian Robinson Jr.‘s hands for what was called an interception of Daniels in the second quarter, and Donovan Wilson stripped John Bates midway through the fourth. KaVonte Turpin provided the fireworks with a spinning, 99-yard kickoff return TD seconds after Daniels found Zach Ertz in the end zone and scored on a 2-point conversion to cut the deficit to three with 3:02 left. In the final three minutes alone, the Commanders (7-5) scored 10 points and allowed Thomas' TD.

(AP Photo/Nick Wass) AP All that after the score was 10-9 through three quarters before madness ensued. Washington’s playoff hopes that looked solid not long ago are now in serious jeopardy after losing to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Dallas. Before the scoring outburst late, much of this defeat had to do with Daniels and the offense not being able to find any kind of a rhythm. The Cowboys did, despite playing without their two best offensive linemen, top cornerback and starting tight end. Rush’s 6-yard pass to Jalen Tolbert was Dallas' first third-quarter TD of the season, and his 22-yarder to Luke Schoonmaker came after Wilson’s forced fumble. Daniels finished 25 of 38 for 274 yards, including his second interception of the game on a failed Hail Mary as the clock expired. Rico Dowdle ran 19 times for 86 yards to spring the upset for the Cowboys, who were 10 1/2-point underdogs on BetMGM Sportsbook.

The reigning Super Bowl champions saw their run of 15 straight wins ended by the Buffalo Bills last week, but got back to winning ways thanks to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

David Montgomery also ran for a score before having to leave the game with a shoulder injury. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended a four-game losing streak with a 30-7 win over the New York Giants, who “mutually agreed” to terminate the contract of quarterback Daniel Jones earlier this week. Jones’ replacement Tommy DeVito was sacked four times while opposite number Baker Mayfield ran for a touchdown and completed 24 of 30 pass attempts for 294 yards. Rachaad White, Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker also ran for touchdowns in a one-sided contest. The Dallas Cowboys ended their five-game losing streak with a remarkable 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders, with 30 points scored in the final three minutes. KaVontae Turpin’s 99-yard kick-off return for a touchdown looked to have sealed victory for the Cowboys, only for the Commanders to respond with a field goal before getting the ball back with 33 seconds remaining.

The Spirit has now made what is their best start to a WNBL season in their history, improving to 8-0 to now have a two-game buffer at the top of the ladder. As well as ticking off eight-consecutive wins to start a season for the first time, the win also featured a feat not accomplished by a Spirit player for many a year - a triple-double. Playing against one of her former teams, the Spirit's Sami Whitcomb put on a clinic against the Lynx with 16 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in just under 37 minutes on court as she further strengthened her MVP claims. The has records of Spirit game box scores stretching back to the 2015-16 season, with Whitcomb's performance on Thursday night the club's first triple-double through that timeframe. In a clash between the competition's two highest-scoring teams it was a defensive slog, with Perth entering the final term leading by six, 53-47. The Lynx extended their advantage out to eight early in the final term before seven unanswered points from the Spirit sparked by a Casey Samuels three brought the visitors back within one. Perth responded with the next four points through Laeticia Amilhere before it was Samuels again who came up big when needed with another three-pointer to spark an 11-0 run for Bendigo. Over the final 5:24 of the game that had started with Bendigo down 61-56 the Spirit outscored Perth 16-5 to win in similar fashion to their earlier victories against Southside (November 24) and Townsville (November 16) when they took over down the stretch when challenged. One of the strengths of the Spirit this season has been their three-point shooting, but they were able to beat the second-placed side on the ladder on their home court despite their worst game so far from long range. The Spirit shot just 5-of-29 (17.2 per cent) from three-point range - well below their season average of 40.3 per cent heading into the game. Perth had gone into Thursday night's game with just one loss for the season and riding a five-game winning streak during which it had averaged 93 points per game. For the Spirit to hold the Lynx to just 66 points was testament to their defence as they forced Perth into 17 turnovers for the match. Perth - featuring former Spirit players Anneli Maley and Alex Wilson - didn't help its cause with its free-throw struggles, shooting just five-of-13. In turn, Bendigo went 11-of-13 from the free-throw line as they continue to excel in that facet of the game. While Whitcomb's triple-double was the headline grabbing performance for the Spirit, captain Kelsey Griffin in her second game back from a broken finger played just over 24 minutes and impressed with 17 points and seven rebounds as well as three steals again coming off the bench. As well as Whitcomb's 13 rebounds, which included four offensive, American Veronica Burton also had 11 boards for the Spirit. Having got through their first eight games unblemished the Spirit have this weekend off before returning home to play Townsville at Red Energy Arena on December 14 from 5pm.
