In the highly anticipated action-adventure game "Black Myth: Wukong," players can now rejoice as the developers have recently announced the addition of a map function to enhance the gaming experience. This new feature not only adds convenience to navigating the vast and immersive game world but also allows players to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of Chinese mythology that the game is known for.By Zaheer Kachwala (Reuters) -GameStop reported a third-quarter profit on Tuesday as the videogame retailer ramps up its cost-saving efforts, including shutting stores and selling higher-margin goods. CEO Ryan Cohen told investors in June the company would operate with "a smaller network and more value-added" items as a part of its attempt to boost sales and profitability. This helped GameStop report a net income of $17.4 million in the third quarter, compared with a net loss of $3.1 million a year ago. Its shares were up more than 2% in extended trading. The company has been grappling with a slower turnaround of its main business as it struggles to ramp up sales of videogame hardware and collectibles, while facing stiff competition from online retail giants such as Amazon.com and eBay. It is also burdened by an uncertain macroeconomic environment, as consumers cut back on discretionary spending owing to stubborn inflation and a slow recovery in the gaming market. Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter said he does not see any signs the company's "core business is salvageable". "There is no turnaround, just stock sales to willingly foolish investors," Pachter said. Its shares have rallied more than 50% this year after stock influencer Keith Gill, also known as "Roaring Kitty", reemerged earlier in 2024, sparking excitement among his followers. The company has taken advantage of the jump in its stock price by raising around $3 billion earlier this year through share sales. Gill was a key figure in the meme-stock frenzy of 2021, in which GameStop stock surged 1,600% at one point in January that year, crushing hedge funds that had bet against the videogame retailer. GameStop's third-quarter revenue fell 20% to $860 million, compared with $1.08 billion a year ago. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter were $4.58 billion, compared with $4.19 billion in the preceding three-month period.

During his rule, Bashir implemented a strict form of Islamic law, which marginalized minority groups and sparked conflicts with rebel groups in the region. He also faced accusations of human rights abuses, including genocide, particularly in the Darfur region, where thousands of people were killed or displaced. These actions attracted international condemnation and led to Sudan's isolation from the global community.The decision to downsize the workforce by 200 employees was a carefully considered one, based on a comprehensive review of the company's current structure and future needs.

The news of Eriksen's potential departure has sparked speculation among fans and pundits alike. Many are wondering where the talented playmaker will end up next and what the future holds for his career.Pope Francis will visit the French Mediterranean island of Corsica in December, days after skipping the reopening of Paris's Notre Dame Cathedral which was ravaged by a fire in 2019, the Vatican said Saturday. Francis, 87, declined an invitation from French President Emmanuel Macron to attend the Notre Dame reopening ceremony in Paris on December 7. He will however head to Corsica's capital Ajaccio for a conference on the Catholic faith in the Mediterranean one week later on December 15, the Vatican said. Some French bishops were "annoyed" by the pope's decision to stay away from the Notre Dame gala, according to one bishop speaking on condition of anonymity. But the head of the Bishops' Conference of France (CEF) Archbishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort said: "The star of the Notre Dame reopening ceremony is Notre Dame itself." The pope had not wanted his presence to be a distraction from the essential point of the occasion, he added. "It's not a snub aimed at France," said another bishop. Francis's one-day trip to Corsica will be the first papal visit to the island, where 90 percent of its 350,000 population is Catholic, according to the local Church, and religious traditions remain deeply rooted. He will give two speeches, preside over a mass and meet Macron during his nine hours on the island, the Vatican said. "It is a historic event, we will give ourselves the extraordinary means to put on an exceptional welcome for the Holy Father," said Bishop of Ajaccio Francois-Xavier Bustillo said in a video posted on social media. Francis, who will celebrate his 88th birthday on December 17, has been to France twice since becoming head of the worldwide Catholic Church in 2013. He visited Strasbourg in 2014, where he addressed the European Parliament, and last year went to Marseille for a meeting of Mediterranean area bishops, where he met Macron. He has yet to make a state visit to France, one of Europe's main majority-Catholic countries. He is also yet to make state visits to Spain, the United Kingdom or Germany. The Argentine pontiff prefers visiting smaller or less established Catholic communities, from Malta to Mongolia. The Corsica visit was championed by the popular media-friendly Bustillo, who was made a cardinal by Pope Francis in September 2023. "It will not be a state visit, but a pastoral visit. It will be a beautiful moment, a moment of hope and joy," he told AFP. In addition, the head of the Catholic Church is scheduled to be at the Vatican on December 7-8 for a service at which he will create 21 new cardinals. Rescheduling appointments over coming months would appear to be tricky, given the multitude of events due to take place in Rome in 2025, a Catholic jubilee year. Bustillo is one of the active cardinals Francis has appointed in the Mediterranean region, with the pope keen they "work together to meet the specific challenges of the area", a bishop told AFP on condition of anonymity. Those issues include migration, global warming and interreligious dialogue. Corsica will be the 47th overseas visit for Francis and his third this year, after a long tour of the Asia Pacific in early September and a trip to Belgium and Luxembourg the same month. cmk-bur/tw/jm
