That is pretty much Max in every movie bar the first one though. Wanders about, reluctantly helps some people, wanders off on his own again.

Mirror's Edge is such an incredible game. The aesthetics and pace were utterly absorbing
- Comment on Xbox Series X and S: Microsoft Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 30 Million Consoles This Generation 1 week ago:
Minecraft also seems to get frequently forgotten about when taking about Microsoft gaming too. It makes Microsoft around £300m per year in games sales. That's just the game. Imagine what the merchandise figures are on top of that.
I don't think game pass is anywhere near unsustainable, when we consider what is actually sustaining it.
- Comment on Xbox Series X and S: Microsoft Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 30 Million Consoles This Generation 1 week ago:
It's a shame because the Series X is an absolutely superb device. The fast storage, quick resume, performance, noise level etc are all incredible, and the backwards compatibility, console streaming, and appeal of game pass make the Series X a wonderful gaming machine. I couldn't be happier with it.
We all know the reasons why it isn't as successful as the PS5, but the Series X as a price-to-value product has been woefully under-appreciated.

What I wouldn't give for a new Deus Ex game. The only news I ever read about one is another cancellation.
Robocop has a similar vibe, albeit a Fisher Price version. And weirdly the new Indiana Jones game kind of scratches that itch, where you're wandering around an open environment, with multiple access points and secrets hidden away that'll reward those paying attention. Neither come close to just how detailed and cool the Deus Ex games were though.

Nice one, thanks for that

Yeah that's the badger. Absolute classic.

Cheers, I never know with all the similarly-named communities on the various instances. Downside of the fediverse is often not knowing where the best place to post something is.

This is still my favourite:

Unions (in the UK at least) often provide financial support for striking workers so the money needs to come from somewhere.
- Comment on Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker? 5 weeks ago:
Love that the downvote and blunt reply suggests you think I'm not agreeing with you.
It was another example of a massive computer company surprisingly being unable to include a bread-and-butter feature at the launch of their new mobile computing devices.

Same for Windows Phone 7 when it launched. No copy and paste there either.

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.

SWOS FTW

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.
- Comment on Rematch 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on Rematch review 1 month ago:
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.

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.
