Cameron Diaz says acting feels `different` after taking a break

After eight years away from Hollywood, actress Cameron Diaz opened up about her upcoming Netflix movie `Back in Action`, saying that she was "both" nervous and excited about getting back in front of the camera. "It`s a little bit of muscle memory, you know what I mean?" she explained during a September 16 appearance on `The Tonight Show` starring Jimmy Fallon. "I did that for so long, it`s kind of like the process, I kind of just fell back into it. But it feels a little bit different." She also gushed how it was…

‘It feels harder than ever’: independent radio stations under threat from rising bills | Music

Gilles Peterson got his first broadcast gig aged 16 at Radio Invicta, the pirate station that boasted it put “soul over London”. He got his own slot a year later, and has spent the ensuing four decades channelling his inquisitive musical spirit into shows with Kiss FM and the BBC, as well as his Brownswood record label, and festivals in the UK, France and Italy. But for the past six years, a freeform online radio station, Worldwide FM (WWFM), has been at the forefront of his efforts, providing shape and sound to a global…

Netflix’s Lucky Luna feels like a modern DSiWare hidden gem

Have you ever played a new game that feels entirely fresh while simultaneously hitting a nostalgic nerve? A new game that just released but unlocks some memories of old titles you haven’t played in years? That’s what happened to me when I tried Lucky Luna, a new mobile game that pushed me outside of my usual comfort zone. It’s the latest game available through Netflix, and while I never thought I’d never touch the streaming service’s games, I’m glad I gave this one a try. To my surprise, it brought me back to the…

Why Watching Decluttering Videos Feels So Good

I have a confession. Sometimes when I’m alone and feeling tense, I’ll take a break from what I’m doing, grab my iPhone, and watch a certain type of video to take the edge off my stress: home-decluttering videos.Watching a stranger masterfully fold a pile of shirts into neat, vertical bundles or transfer snacks from store-bought packaging to clear, acrylic containers with pretty labels is my guilty pleasure. Frivolous as they seem, these curated moments offer an oasis of order in a world that feels increasingly chaotic.…

A Plague Tale: Requiem Feels Very Familiar

I’m a little worried about A Plague Tale: Requiem's stealth, but its narrative and characterization still have lots of potential.I loved A Plague Tale: Innocence. Despite its straightforward moment-to-moment gameplay, it ended up being one of my favorite games of 2019 thanks to the fantastic art direction, wonderful performances, and gripping story. While I am very curious to see where the story goes in Requiem, the gameplay--faults and all--feels a little too familiar. Most of these issues were easy to…

Why Pain Feels Worse at Night

It’s long been a mystery why one of the most basic human experiences—feeling physical pain—fluctuates in intensity throughout the day. Since the early days of medicine, doctors and patients have noticed that many types of pain tend to get worse at night. Most research so far has tried to link mounting nighttime pain to sleep deprivation or disrupted sleep, but with limited success.In a recently published study, scientists led by Claude Gronfier at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Centre in France have finally shed light on…

Mode Designs’ Sonnet 65 feels almost too luxurious to type on – TechCrunch

I have yet to type on a keyboard that feels as good as Mode Designs’ Sonnet. There have definitely been a few days in the last few weeks since the company sent me a prototype unit to test where getting to type on the Sonnet was one of my main motivators to start writing. With prices starting at $299 without switches and keycaps, it’s not the most expensive of custom keyboards out there (though the price can quickly creep up to double that as you add a few options), but Mode got virtually everything right here, and…

iOS Game of the Week: Pocket Skate feels like playing with a Tech Deck in 2022

Every week that I run this column, I flip through a few resources to see what’s dropped recently on iOS devices and parse through what’s worth playing and what’s not. Mostly, there are a lot of duds, and I end up spending a lot of time talking about games available on Apple Arcade through necessity. But this past week, I discovered a title that completely took me by surprise — especially as I’ve been weening off of playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 on PS4. Pocket Skate is a charming skateboarding game made by Australian…
