I'm more disappointed to see Perfect Dark getting canned tbh.

Pretty sure that's on the cards. My money's on Xbox the brand becoming just Game Pass eventually.

I’ll dispute that. Fired up Rocket League for the first time in a few months yesterday after a couple of hours of Rematch. First game I got into was constant abuse from a teammate against the other two of us on the team. Finished the match with double his points and still got called trash because we lost.
Tbh though I love it. Makes me laugh thinking about how angry the guy must be getting while playing.

I use Wipr on Safari on iOS. It’s not perfect, but nothing is.

It's on Gamepass if that makes any difference.

It's wild how little passing there is. Almost every time 2 or 3 passes are strung together, there's a goal. But very few people seem to understand that yet.
It's always very clear who's actually played 5-a-side in real life before. Anyone who played like 90% of Rematch players in a proper game would get an absolute bollocking from their teammates.

IMO, PES was always so much better than FIFA. Matches were slow, measured, low-scoring exercises in passing and breaking down defences. FIFA always felt like a game, whereas PES was a simulation. I’ve not played either of their descendants for years, but I’ve watched my girlfriend’s kid play FC25 and it seems far more like fucking Pokémon than a football game.
Rematch on the other hand is something else. It’s not a football game, despite its appearance. It’s a future-sports game, like Rocket League or Speedball 2. I’m enjoying it from that perspective.
Agree with the controls though, but I’m still putting that down to my own skill issues.

They absolutely do work, and I can’t recommend them enough - this is coming from a male mid-40s divorcee. I was on and off Tinder for 4 years looking for a relationship and met several women, before finally meeting my soul mate. For somebody like me who isn’t the most outgoing person, they were a godsend in terms of meeting people. Some of the negativity in these responses is wild.
They’re a relaxed, accessible mechanism for starting conversations. Yes, there’s incentive for the companies to keep you on the apps but it’s certainly not forced, because if they didn’t ever work, their incentive for use evaporates.
I am 100% of the opinion that people who have limited luck on dating apps are likely to have the same limited luck in real life. It’s just that the apps present you with multiple “opportunities” in succession that you don’t get in real life, so it could feel like constant rejection for some. If you match with a real person and start a conversation that goes nowhere, that’s down to yours or their communication, or a simple incompatibility. Both parties have already shown an interest at the point of matching. Where goes from there is down to you.
It’s entirely a numbers game. You can’t expect to hit it off with every person you match with online, any more than you could in real life. But you will find someone that you otherwise wouldn’t get the chance to meet through other circumstances.

Belonging to fly, or fly is?

I reckon it was a grammatical joke based on the incorrect apostrophe.

In fairness, the 10th gen Civics (in Europe at least) looked absolutely badass compared to pretty much any other family hatchback when they released. They were a lot pointier and aggressive looking than their boring counterparts.
