You Should’ve Aimed Higher

Here’s how Joe Goldberg’s story concludes: In a public trial, he receives a life sentence without the possibility of touch or women to fixate on. However, before this verdict, Bronte, his newest obsession, shoots him, leading to a graphic video of his arrest that goes viral. This form of justice aligns with the show You, which is known for romantic gestures and favorable endings for its antagonist-protagonist. In an interview with Deadline, Penn Badgley, who plays Joe, discussed this decision in relation to a broader cultural conversation about “bad men.” He questions, “What should we do with people like Joe?” If someone were to kill him (and it would be a woman), then she would bear the burden of murder. Torture or prison seem inadequate, so they settled on damaging his manhood.

Despite earning worldwide acclaim for our film, I still felt like we had fallen short – we as a team had failed – in our mission to improve our local community, he explained further. Following the arrest of Ballal, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued a somewhat vague statement that, at least, acknowledged the existence of differing viewpoints among its members. However, it did not directly mention Ballal. In response, several Academy members like Mark Ruffalo, Todd Haynes, and Penélope Cruz, among others, signed an open letter expressing their criticism. Subsequently, the Academy issued a revised statement that extended an apology to Ballal personally.

Destiny 2: Why Expert Difficulty Feels Like a Normal Grind

by

In the realm of video games, particularly those with a heavy emphasis on grinding such as Destiny 2, the rewards system plays a vital role. A recent post by DrJimmy94 sheds light on a common complaint among gamers who have participated in numerous advanced activities yet received unremarkable loot that seems more fitting for regular gameplay. This raises the question of whether the Expert difficulty level is simply a fancy treadmill, since the loot remains unchanged. The post’s author expresses disappointment, acknowledging the common response of “Well, RNG is just being RNG,” but emphasizing the growing discontent with the randomized drop system that can feel less like an exhilarating gamble and more like a cruel prank. Players have noted that without a noticeable difference in rewards for tackling tougher content, it can be disheartening to put in time and effort into advanced activities.
