[ad_1] Just days after US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez played Among Us to an audience of more than 435,000 viewers, InnerSloth, the developer of the popular multiplayer title, is struggling to contain a spam attack that is affecting most of the game’s community.

Here’s what you need to know about what’s getting nerfed in Destiny 2.  Mountaintop, Falling Guillotine, and Ruinous Effigy are getting that nerf action and as a big fan of the very powerful sword, I’m a little sad.

[ad_1] Some film directors live to entertain. Some follow drama to uncomfortable places. And then there are folks like British director Ben Wheatley, who court a challenge, then gleefully volley it back to the audience. In films like the aggressive, twisty 21st-century horror masterpiece Kill List; the black-and-white psychedelic trip A Field in England; and the slippery, psycho-nightmare take on J.D. Ballard’s book High-Rise, Wheatley has made a name for himself by sinking his teeth into material that pushes the understanding of what cinema can do and can make an audience feel. His latest project, a lavish take on Daphne…

[ad_1] Another month, another streaming library scramble. Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime continue to swap their titles around like hot potatoes as streaming agreements end and platforms (especially newer platforms like HBO Max) try to beef up their offerings. Starting Nov. 1, that means losing The Silence of the Lambs on Netflix after just a month on the service. (The psychological horror was previously streaming on HBO Max.) For its part, HBO Max is losing Home Alone ahead of the Christmas season (but if you ask me it’s never too early to watch Home Alone.) We also wrote…
