Resident Evil 4 remade on PS5 and Xbox Series X is a work of art.Someone owes Marie Kondo a fruit basket, because this spring-clean remake of one of the best games ever made is all about sparking joy.There are plenty of fantastic new additions, and the best bits aren't just all present, but rearranged in a way that they complement each other more than they originally did, not least of all in how superstar secret agent Leon S Kennedy has been greased up to perform more slickly than ever.

Many days, my family's home feels as if it were littered with small landmines.My wife and I never know when our 9-year-old son is going to explode if we accidentally kill an insect, have to move Friday pizza-and-movie night to Saturday, or accidentally dismember one of his many Lego creations.After these meltdowns, our son often droops his head and admits that his outbursts make him "feel like a baby."

CLEVELAND (AP) - Romy González's two-run double broke a seventh-inning tie and sent the Chicago White Sox to a 4-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night.González snapped a 2-2 tie with his hard hit off rookie Logan Allen (1-2), who was probably left in the game one batter too many by manager Terry Francona.

For anyone doubting the adage that less is sometimes more, I offer the example of this episode of Ted Lasso.While it's not what I would describe as remarkable, or even especially memorable, it has a nice rhythm to it, in part because it tackles fewer unrelated story lines.The aggressive jumps from subplot to subplot, many involving new or peripheral characters are less in evidence Keeley's professional and romantic dalliances with, respectively, Shandy and Jack, had been particular offenders and their absence is a welcome break.

Are you still with me, White Sox fans?I know some of you are starting to re-emerge as fans, like the tender lilacs in May, or the reticent fawn prudently approaching the apple slice you offer with an outreached hand from your car, even though the deer overpopulation is so out-of-control that it's legal to shoot them with a homemade bow and arrow.

It's that time of year again.Gardens, terraces and yards are coming alive with greenery.Outdoor furniture is being dusted off.But don't forget the one thing you really need for enjoying your outdoor space at night: outdoor lighting.Why does it matter?Especially in the city, most people experience their gardens at night more than they do during the day, said Stephen Eich, the urban studio director at Hollander Design, a landscape architecture firm based in New York.

In the high noon heat of the big hot sun, the intersection of Broadway and Lafayette was an ouroboros.A snake eating its own tail, a snake that was not a snake at all but actually a line of mostly women-who were nearly all young and definitely all well dressed-waiting to go inside a NoHo loft to go shopping.

Security experts have warned that the new '.zip' top-level domain (TLD) could facilitate the spread of malware and undermine legitimate sources.TLDs are the letters that follow the final period in a URL, such as '.com', and at the start of May, Google announced the release of eight new options: .dad,

Autumn light filters through the treetops of Central Park West, streaming into Jean-Georges, giving the gray banquettes a matte, silver gleam.The space is plain, severe in its neutrality, undeniably grand and hushed.Each table, though in clear view of the others, is luxuriously cocooned by space, almost private.

Tell a group of employees you want more face time and prepare for sighs and eye rolls.Many see face time as a necessary evil because it can feel like time wasted, where they have to show up and be seen for political reasons, not to get meaningful work done in the most expeditious way.Research reinforces what we know intuitively: Being seen connotes positive traits like commitment, even if we're just sitting there.
