A user on the Battlefield subreddit, Final_Adeptness4296, expressed frustration with the progression system in Battlefield 6. They explained that the battle pass requires playing game modes like RedSec, Gauntlet, and Sabotage, which they and others don’t enjoy.

The user pointed out that as people get older, they have less time for hobbies, and it’s especially discouraging when games feel grindy or force players into activities they don’t find fun. Essentially, they want the freedom to enjoy the game their own way while still being able to advance.

This is true for holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, where it’s common to enjoy berry-based sauces.
The soundtrack for the movie Wicked: For Good is now available on Spotify! It features 11 songs, including two that weren’t in the original Broadway recording. Composer Stephen Schwartz wrote these new songs for the sequel, and they could potentially earn him two Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song. The new music expands on the stories of Elphaba and Glinda, giving stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande each an extra emotional song, and helps clarify the movie’s complex storyline.
