These Horror Remakes Are Vital Sociopolitical Mirrors Of Their Time

A filmmaker’s artistic decisions are shaped by their background – things like their upbringing, the resources available to them, and their overall life experiences. This helps explain why horror films often become connected to political issues. The genre taps into our current fears, even for viewers who aren’t actively involved in politics. Sometimes, a filmmaker doesn’t set out to make a political statement, but the film’s timing and themes can unintentionally become a call for change, like with Night of the Living Dead. Other times, filmmakers deliberately address societal issues and prejudices, as seen in Get Out.

Factorio Switch 2 upgrade and Space Age DLC aiming for December release date

Factorio on the Switch 2 will look and play better than ever! In handheld mode, it’ll support a crisp 1080p resolution, and when docked, it can go up to 4K.

HSR 3.7 release date, events, and features revealed

As with any Honkai story, expect a touching, and perhaps slightly sad, ending – but it will be a rewarding experience. It’s going to be a love story, after all!

HSR 3.7 banners – Cyrene debuts

Okay, as a huge fan of the Chrysos Heirs, I’m so excited about Cyrene! She’s a 5-star character who uses Ice, and she’s all about supporting the Heirs. What’s really cool is how she works with their Amphoreus casts – it adds a whole new layer to their gameplay. And the best part? Her banner is up for the entire update, alongside reruns for all three Chrysos Heirs! That gives everyone plenty of time to get her and the Heirs they might have missed.

HoYoverse reveals Jahoda for Genshin Impact Luna III

I’ve gotten to know Jahoda pretty well since the Traveler showed up in Nod-Krai. He works for the Curatorium of Secrets, and while he’s generally loyal, let’s just say you can’t always count on him to follow through!

Hades 2 patch changes the ending after fan backlash

Players were disappointed with the original ending of the game when version 1.0 was released. After beating Chronos for the last time, Melione sends Zagreus back in time to destroy him. However, instead of fighting, Zagreus talks to Chronos and creates a new timeline where the Titan of Time has a peaceful upbringing with his family – though only Zagreus and Chronos remember this altered past.

Z-A’s sales are a little behind those of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which sold 6.5 million copies in the same period. However, Arceus was the first game in this new series, giving it a boost from being brand new, and it even surpassed sales of traditional Pokémon games like Sword and Shield.
