LAVAL, QC (Jan. 30, 2025) – With a goal, two assists and a shootout marker in her first game back after missing three games due to injury, Laura Stacey led the Montréal Victoire to a 4-3 shootout win over the Toronto Sceptres at home at Place Bell on Thursday night—the team’s fourth straight win. The Sceptres’ dominant power play opened the scoring mid-way through the first period, as Jesse Compher tapped in a rebound off the back boards to give Toronto the lead. Mariah Keopple equalized the score six minutes later – with a primary assist from Stacey for her first point of the night – bringing energy to the Montréal crowd heading into the first intermission. Stacey earned her second primary assist of the night seven minutes into the second period, feeding a pass to Maureen Murphy to give the Victoire their first lead of the game. The Sceptres’ power play struck for the second time in the game, with a goal from Hannah Miller to even the score once again heading into the third frame. Mid-way through the third period, Stacey found the back of the net for her third point of the night, giving Montréal their second lead of the game. Daryl Watts then knotted the score at three for Toronto with just three minutes left in the third to force extra time.

After a scoreless overtime period, Stacey and Victoire captain Marie-Philip Poulin potted Montréal’s two shootout goals to secure the win for the Victoire–– Toronto rookie Julia Gosling was the only goal scorer for the Sceptres in the shootout. Elaine Chuli earned the first shootout win of her PWHL career, turning aside 37 of 40 shots in net for the Victoire through regulation and overtime, followed by another four saves on five shootout attempts. Kristen Campbell stopped 25 of 28 shots through 65 minutes of play, followed by three of five saves in the shootout for the Sceptres. Montréal now has a three-point stronghold on first place following the win, while Toronto jumps into fifth place after earning a single point in the shootout loss.

Hello!

No Man’s Sky is a game that we all genuinely truly love. Last year we released Worlds Part I and I remember thinking at the time that this is just the beginning. We can’t wait to show people what we’ve been working on! There’s new solar systems, new planets with more variety, new terrain types, even new Gas Giants, and of course new adventures. Our next update is called Worlds Part II. Full patch notes are available here.

Worlds Part II allows us to push the boundaries of our engine with new technology.

Across the universe we’re adding billions of new solar systems and trillions of new planets, and introducing new biomes and terrains without changing what people already love about the game. It’s now so far beyond what we ever thought was possible when we started out.

This was one of my favorite games as a teen. We played it for years in high school alongside Heroes Unlimited.

With the Kickstarter rerelease I have decided I want to run a new campaign. I always wanted to use the Terror Bears from the books in a campaign, but never worked them into what I was doing.

I recently found my original book (12th printing, from 1991), plus an original printing, but less used copy.

What are some memorable animals that have been played in your games over the years?

It would be helpful if we could view a list of communities from instance detail tab, not a local view of threads like when you look at an instance from a guest account, but a list like when you search.

SAINT PAUL, MN (January 26, 2025) – Taylor Heise led a high-scoring matchup with two goals, including the game-winner, boosting the Minnesota Frost to a 5-2 win over the Boston Fleet at Xcel Energy Center. The Frost snapped a three-game losing streak while ending the Fleet’s two-game winning streak and five-game point streak. Minnesota’s top line was on fire this afternoon combining for seven points with Michela Cava and Kendall Coyne Schofield setting up both Heise goals, and the captain adding a tally of her own to take over the PWHL scoring lead. Rookies Brooke McQuigge and Katy Knoll provided the other Minnesota goals. Boston twice cut the deficit to one, when captain Hilary Knight scored a second period goal to make it 2-1, and Susanna Tapani scored in the third period to make it 3-2. Nicole Hensley recorded 26 saves on 28 shots in her third win in five starts. Emma Söderberg stopped 22 of 27 in her third start of the season.
