  It’s not just you! Forza Horizon has been the main series of video game I looked forward to. I loved 3 and 4.

  It didn’t take long for 5 to concentrate fully on the weekly bullshit and making the game more about puzzles than driving.

  This is the first Horizon game in over a decade that I couldn’t care less about. It just feels like a sad shell of the previous games.

  No, it doesn’t work that way on iOS at all. Swipe from the side of the screen is application-specific.

  Swipe from left is always “go back to where you were previously” or “go back to the main menu of this application.” Swipe from right does nothing unless the application defines it.

  The Independent’s feature might override an iOS browser’s “Forward” feature, if you already used the “Back” feature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Eurogamer] Nothing Headphone (1) review: Unlike anything else I've ever seen⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoy reading reviews where the person is trying to write that there’s nothing special about a product, and at the current price point you should get something else… without writing that.

  For that price, I might have expected slightly better noise cancelling and a potentially more well-rounded sound…

  I know I’ve definitely enjoyed using them for the last few weeks, and if you can still pick them up at the discounted rate I spotted them at recently, then they’re well worth a go.

  Let me paraphrase. Are you a “pick me?” These unique fashion-first headphones are for you.

  Are you someone who just wants decent headphones? Buy something else unless you can get them on discount.

  What a cool idea!

  All I hear is “China is heating up the ocean too”

  Same!

  The phrase “seven monkeys with switchblades playing piano” does not have a single, established meaning. It is likely a surreal, intentionally nonsensical image, and its interpretation would depend entirely on the context in which it was used.
