Digital Foundry | Innocn 40C1R review: a flat and reasonably-priced 40-inch ultrawide gaming monitor
Ultrawides are normally curved and expensive, but this one isn't afraid to play it straight.
The Innocn 40C1R is a 40-inch ultrawide monitor with an IPS-style panel, AMD Freesync Premium and a 144Hz refresh rate - all standard stuff, right? What makes this monitor unique though is its form factor: the 40C1R is completely flat, making it a tempting alternative for folks that don't appreciate the curved screens endemic amongst modern ultrawides. You don't pay a premium for this either, with the 40C1R being surprisingly affordable given its titanic proportions: $600 is the list price, with the price dipping to $480 or less during sales.

Recommended | Shovel Knight Dig review - a great series safe in the hands of the very best
The trowels are not what they seem.
In the Secret Fountain levels, I fell in love with the water. I didn't notice it at first. I was just digging downwards, flattening baddies with my shovel, enjoying the regular knockabout fun of a 2D platformer. But then I started getting hit by fish. Quite a lot of fish. Fish from the fish cannon, scarlet and slappy and properly doing me in. I realised that the fish moved across the water - they could travel wherever it flowed. And I realised that I could break blocks and channel the water where I wanted it to go. Maybe I could do more than just reroute the fish? What would happen if I steered the water over to that promising waterwheel?

Feature | Cyberpunk Edgerunners shows CD Projekt's Cyberpunk is still worth fighting for
In choom.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners is fantastic, the latest in a recent line of impressive anime adaptations of video games. I've enjoyed the low-level shenanigans of its eclectic cast of sci-fi punks as they navigate the never-ending dystopia that is Night City. It presents a story more heartfelt than Cyberpunk 2077's, with more likeable characters (not hard, when you consider the relentless - and inescapable - dickheadishness of Keanu Reeves' Johnny Silverhand). Edgerunners, though, offers a slither of hope, and not just for its fictional characters. It shows CD Projekt's Cyberpunk is still worth fighting for, despite everything.

Recommended | Hyper Demon review - a playable migraine, in a good way
Summon to think about.
Isaac Newton was once moved to put a bodkin, or large, blunt sewing needle, behind his eye. Where exactly? (I feel you would want to be exact about this.) "Betwixt my eye and bone as neare to [the] backside of my eye as I could." This is quite a thing to do to yourself, but Newton was fixated.
