Forza Horizon 6 Is Out, and the Hosts of SunnyRedemption Sailing Have Played Ten Hours Each

Today marks the first full day Forza Horizon 6 is available to the public. The hosts of SunnyRedemption Sailing — a biweekly BS-free gaming news show — both logged roughly ten hours each after Premium early access plus the New Zealand trick got them in on May 14th. After that time with the game, they describe it as a potential Game of the Year candidate and one of the best open-world racing games ever, while also noting it has flaws. The episode covers game impressions alongside broader topics including the Turn 10 layoffs, PlayStation and Xbox's shifts in exclusive strategy, and tips for players just getting started.

Gobble's Take: Ten hours each, and they still had plenty to say — the hosts came prepared with impressions, context, and no shortage of opinions.

Amsterdam's dining guide is a travel diary with sharper priorities

The thesis here is simple and unapologetic: travel is exciting largely because there are new places to eat, and eating like a local is one of the best ways to learn a culture. The listography delivers — a global-feeling room with a Mediterranean menu, a King's Day dinner that justified its price, and a late-night cocktail stop praised for flavorful favorites from all over the world.

Gobble's Take: Amsterdam gets it. When the meal is good enough, the itinerary is just the thing you do between meals.

Food waste, memory, and culinary knowledge across different contexts

This is a reflection on food waste that draws on personal experience, academic research, and urban activism. The author, who grew up in a Turkish household with Pontus Greek and Albanian heritage, was raised to finish what was on their plate — a habit that made the scale of food waste they encountered in London deeply striking. The piece sets this personal background alongside Dr. Nafsika Papacharalampous's ethnographic research on food waste in Greece and David E. Sutton's work on Greek culinary memory, while also drawing on the author's own volunteering experience with Refettorio Felix in London. The central argument is that traditional culinary practices and contemporary urban food activism both address food waste, but do so through different mechanisms — one through embodied memory and skill, the other through conscious ethical intervention.

Gobble's Take: Personal memory, academic fieldwork, and urban activism are three different roads to the same question: why do we waste food we could have valued?

This culinary history reading list will make you hungry, emotional, and slightly dangerous at dinner parties

Culinary history, defined here as food, history, and storytelling that inspires, informs, and entertains, gets a proper summer reading list. The picks move from A Square Meal: A Culinary History of the Great Depression to Cassoulet Confessions, anchored in a thick, rich stew first encountered in Carcassonne, France, to Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts, a memoir and recipe collection by Crystal Wilkinson.

Gobble's Take: Three books. Multiple centuries. One guarantee: you will finish them hungrier than you started.
