JRPGs are often known for their grand journeys across towns, cities, countries, continents, all around the world. Final Fantasy 15 is known best for its road trip dynamic with the party, as a bunch of bros cruise the countryside in their luxury land yacht. For Persona games, it’s always been different, focusing in on specific locations as small as the town of Inaba or as large as the city of Tokyo....
The latest release from Atlus, Soul Hackers 2, deviated from the norm of excellence expected from the developer, enduring some mixed reviews, but every developer is bound to have some hits and misses along the road. Having so many successful games comes with a catchment, as the umbrella of a few successes tends to block out other content of the same developer from seeing their day in the sunlight. Atlus has a few sleeper franchises lurking in the shadows that could pique the interests of gamers if given adequate exposure....
The Selecao have been booed during their opening two matches and now need to respond against Peru in Sao Paulo on Saturday if they are to finish top of Group A. After scoring three times in the second half to win 3-0 against lowly ranked Bolivia to spare their blushes in the competition’s opening match, Brazil failed to find a way past Venezuela in their next game, with two goals being ruled out by VAR....
The 28-year-old, who has been capped 58 times by Spain, came on after 82 minutes in the 1-0 win against Czech Republic in their Group D opener and was an unused substitute in the 3-0 victory over Turkey on Friday. “I had different expectations when I first came here,” Pedro was quoted as saying in Spanish media. “It is difficult for me to play this role (as a substitute) and if there is no continuity it is not worth me turning up just to be part of the group,” he added....
The Spaniard has consistently been a top performer with Repsol Honda, the team he joined in 2006 after five years in the lower categories. Across his career, Pedrosa has 31 MotoGP wins to his name, the last of which came at the season-ending race in Valencia last year. Honda’s decision to pair Marc Marquez with Jorge Lorenzo in 2019 left Pedrosa’s future unclear, the 32-year-old confirming his plans to step away from the sport on Thursday....
The 77-year-old recently suffered a back injury that kept him from presenting the Campeonato Carioca trophy to Botafogo on Monday, despite being the ambassador for the competition. Sources have now confirmed to Goal that the lingering health concerns are also likely to keep the three-time World Cup winner from traveling to Russia this summer. Pele has had health issues since 2012, when he underwent surgery to correct the symptoms of osteoarthritis which ended up causing more complications....
At her weekly news conference on Wednesday, Pelosi said she was against prohibiting lawmakers from owning and trading individual stocks. “We are a free market economy,” she said. “They should be able to participate in that.” Several Democrats disagree with the speaker, including Senators Jeff Merkley and Elizabeth Warren, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted last week that it’s “absolutely ludicrous” that sitting members of Congress can trade individual stock....
“Honestly, I think it was just my face,” Monica Ruiz said on the Today show Thursday. “My eyebrows looked worried, I guess. People were like, ‘You look scared.’ I’m telling you, it was my face. That was the problem, and it just exploded it from there. ‘She looks worried.’” In the 30-second commercial, Ruiz plays a woman launching a year-long fitness journey after receiving a Peloton stationary bike for Christmas....

Charlotte Violet, from Brighton, U.K., bought a cozy cottage in the seaside town and set about renovating it to turn it into a scene from a Studio Ghibli film, including painting the exterior yellow. Violet has been sharing the transformation online, regularly posting interior inspiration videos, including quirky decorations, a pastel palette and lots of plants. But it’s her green-themed kitchen which is attracting the most attention, as people seem convinced she’s filming a doll’s house....
City beat Cardiff City, Crystal Palace, Tottenham, Manchester United and Burnley in the previous month, scoring nine times and conceding just once to ensure they stayed ahead of Liverpool in a title race that will go down to the wire this weekend. Guardiola has now won the award seven times in his three seasons in England and twice in the past three months, with City having won 13 matches in a row since losing to Newcastle on January 29....
Fable and Perfect Dark’s reemergence stand for something much more important for Microsoft, though. Leading up to the Xbox Series X’s release, some fans were disappointed that the console didn’t appear to have a ton of exclusives and original games. Microsoft has plenty of playable games, but it’s not always known for its in-house IPs. As Microsoft acquires more and more studios, however, it gains more access to known developers and remarkable IPs....

It’s been a bad year for peacekeeping-and for the United Nations, which in the aftermath of the cold war was expected to be the agency of a new world order. The bloodshed in what used to be Yugoslavia exposed the impotence of U.N. troops. U.N. military and relief deployments in Somalia were so inadequate that the United States had to intervene at the head of a coalition army. U.N.-monitored peace agreements fell apart in Angola and Cambodia and stalled in El Salvador....
Symptoms The most common symptom of PAD is “claudication.” Claudication is a pain, cramping or discomfort—which can vary from merely annoying to quite severe—that occurs in the affected limb. Typically, claudication occurs during exercise and is relieved by rest. Since PAD most commonly affects the legs, claudication most typically manifests as leg pain when walking. Depending on where in the leg artery the blockage is located, leg claudication can affect the foot, calf, thigh or buttocks....

There are 10 personality disorders, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). They are grouped within one of three clusters, and the disorders within each cluster share similar characteristics. Cluster A Personality Disorders Cluster A personality disorders are characterized by odd and eccentric behavior, and include paranoid personality disorder, schizoid personality disorder, and schizotypal personality disorder.

The rapid spread of the highly transmissible variant has led to coronavirus surges in states like Florida and Louisiana and doctors are noticing that the infected population is beginning to shift toward a younger crowd. At South Florida’s largest hospital system, the pediatric case positivity rate rose to 19.4 percent during the first ten days of August. For most of the pandemic, that figure had stayed in the low single digits....
THOMAS: Why did you lose your faith in God so young? ALMODOVAR: From the age of 9, when I first starting attending this school, I asked myself many of the questions you ask yourself throughout life–where do we come from? What is our purpose here on earth?–and I decided to give the priests and religion a chance to give me these answers. I waited a year but they never came....
Ronaldo hit a hat-trick for Portugal in a 5-1 win over the Faroe Islands in World Cup qualifying on Thursday night to take his international tally to 78, the first of those a spectacular scissor kick early on in the game. “I saw the goal, It was really special,” Pele told Goal in an exclusive interview. “It was a really nice play.” Pele’s 77 Brazil goals came in just 92 appearances, while the former Santos icon also won three World Cups for his country (in 1958, 1962 and 1970)....
