Well, the time has come to delete your Tinder account. Maybe you’re a lucky user who’s found your person! Or maybe you’re just sick of the fire emblem staring back at you every weekend night when you don’t have a date.

Either way, here’s how to do it.

How to delete your Tinder account

To permanently delete your Tinder account, you must be signed in either on the app or the browser site (Tinder.com). Tap on the profile icon, then go to Settings. Scroll down and click “Delete Account.”

Deleting the app from your smartphone won’t delete your account — nor will it delete your subscription if you’re a paid user. If you bought a subscription with your Apple ID or Google Play ID, you must cancel the subscription separately. Here are instructions for how to cancel an Apple subscription and how to cancel a Google Play subscription. Read more…

For most publishers and creators of video games, E3 is a time for business. Yeah, it’s fun to meet with the community and get those exciting reveals out. But ultimately, there’s a job to be done.

That’s just as true for Devolver Digital as it is for all the rest, but gaming’s most punk indie publisher hides it so well. Where you’d normally expect a major publisher like E3 to trot out the news in the most widely accessible way possible, Devolver gets weird. That was as true in 2021 as it’s always been.

If you really want to get all the in-jokes here — it’s a legit cinematic universe at this point — then you’ll want to go back and catch up with Devolver’s showcases from 2017, 2018, 2019, and yes, even 2020. But the deranged 2021 showcase is a totally enjoyable watch on its own, too.  Read more…

If you’ve “cut the cord” with a YouTube TV subscription, but now you want to actually cancel YouTube TV itself, here’s how to do it.

Canceling or pausing YouTube TV on browser

On YouTube’s website, click on your avatar on the top right corner. Choose Settings from the dropdown menu. Then select Membership from the left-side menu. Under YouTube TV, you’ll see an option to “Pause or cancel membership.”

The former allows you to stop your membership from four weeks to six months. Your YouTube TV account will pause after the next billing date, and you won’t be charged during the pause period.

By pausing, you keep current library recordings but you won’t have access to YouTube TV or new recordings. All family accounts will be paused, as well. When the pause period is up, you will be charged and have access to all features again, or you can manually end the pause early and resume the membership whenever you’d like. If you’d rather pause your account, just click PAUSE. Read more…

Ubisoft kicked off its weird and wild all-remote E3 on Saturday afternoon with a stage-free version of its annual parade of reveals.

The French publisher laid out a tantalizing lineup that includes a bevy of new games as well as an assortment of additions to older ones. The presentation covered an awful lot of ground, so let’s get right into it.

Rainbow Six: Extraction debuts

The next iteration of Ubi’s esports favorite, Rainbow Six: Siege, is taking things in a decidedly different direction. First announced in 2019 (and now sporting a new title, since the original Rainbow Six Quarantine hits differently in 2021), Extraction skips competitive players-versus-player action in favor of a cooperative experience.

It’s OK if you forgot there was already an Avatar game released in 2009. James Cameron and Ubisoft would probably prefer it that way, honestly. But it did happen, and it wasn’t exactly welcomed with open arms. The filmmaker and French publisher are teamed up again for another crack at the idea, in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

Ubisoft delivered a first look at the 2022 game to cap off its E3 2021 press conference. The purely cinematic look doesn’t offer a sense of the gameplay, but Cameron’s alien landscape along with the wide-open trailer at least suggests that Frontiers will offer some kind of riff on the publisher’s more recent takes on vast and lengthy “open world” games (think Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla).

In May 2021, the internet exploded when the Daily Mail published a photo of actors Tessa Thompson and Rita Ora in an alleged three-way kiss with filmmaker Taika Waititi. 

Rumors flew that Ora and Waititi, who were already going out, were actually in an open relationship. Twitter was abuzz, even going so far as to assume the three of them were in a polyamorous situation. Others just wanted to get in on the threesome.

We don’t know the true story behind the photos, but one thing is for certain: Threesomes are hot this summer. 

As more Americans get vaccinated, the dating pool is opening up and what singles are looking for is coming into focus. In a lot of cases, they’re looking for more than one person.  Read more…

It’s been a long month of bidding, but Jeff Bezos is officially going to have more company than just his brother during the Amazon founder’s upcoming inaugural trip into outer space.

Blue Origin’s extended auction for an open seat aboard the July 20 launch of New Shepard closed on Saturday. The winning bidder isn’t yet known — their identity will be revealed in the coming weeks — but the final price for that ticket landed at $28 million.

All proceeds collected from the auction will go to Club for the Future, a Blue Origin-owned and operated nonprofit “whose mission is to inspire future generations to pursue careers in STEM and to help invent the future of life in space.” Read more…

Rachel Hollis is back.

The self-help author and Christian influencer is creeping back onto social media after her latest controversy in April. Hollis compared herself to Harriet Tubman and other world-changing women of color by saying they’re “unrelatable” like her — when: 1. She is certainly not like any of those women and 2. Her entire Brand™ was built on being relatable.

In addition to returning to Instagram with photos of dandelions and sidewalk chalk, Hollis also quietly dropped a YouTube video this week that raised alarm bells to those familiar with her work. The video contains a seemingly innocuous story about Hollis’s first kiss since her divorce: Read more…

Hubble’s latest look into deep space is a real dazzler.

Say hello to NGC 4680. This distant galaxy — it’s more than 350 light-years away from Earth — is captured in beautiful detail and color by the Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3. NASA shared the freshly created image on Friday, highlighting the “neighboring” galaxies visible in the image (one on the right side of the frame and one at the bottom).

Let’s not let those other galaxies steal the show, though. NGC 4680 is an interesting one because of how difficult it is to classify. It looks a bit like a spiral galaxy, and it may have more confidently been one long ago, but as the description points out, it’s often referred to as a lenticular galaxy. Read more…
