Helldivers 2 is a game that comes with a lot of pressure, and players are going to need all the help they can get and all the beast gear and equipment at their disposal, but the developers are focused on the aspects of teamwork and balance. Not everyone agreed and voiced their dismay, which provoked the developers and the CEO had to step in.

The developers responded to fans over at their Discord server in an unprofessional fashion that painted the team in a negative light. Constant harassment from the community that is difficult to please could take a toll on the team’s patience, and they had reached their breaking point. Sarcastic and demeaning comments worsened the situation, forcing Johan Pilestedt to act.

In Front of Your Face (2021).When it comes to autofiction in contemporary cinema, a few directors are producing works that are as piercingly candid as those of Hong Sang-soo. Curiously though, family life has occupied the outer margins of the purview of Hong’s films. “For some reason, I get the impression that Moon-ho [from Woman is the Future of Man (2004)] fears that he might die if he goes home,” says Kim Hye-ri in a 2005 interview with Hong Sang-soo for Cine21. Observing the absence of the familial in his works, she remarks that Hong’s male characters seem to dread going home. “[Characters] have to leave their homes in order for my stories to begin,” Hong responds. He goes on to share his ethical concern when it comes to writing characters based on people he knows in real life, and that he is not ready to use his own family as a source material in his films just yet.

Production of Turkish TV dramas has resumed at a steady pace undeterred by coronavirus concerns and, though the hand of censorship is being felt, shows are getting edgier.

While the pandemic forced production to grind to a halt in March, by September almost all producers had started shooting again in Turkey, though “roughly 80% of them have run into some problems with Covid-19 on their teams,” says Ahmet Ziyalar, president and COO of sales and production company Inter Medya.

Inter Medya is close to wrapping the shoot of “Respect” (“Saygi”) a series it is making for Turkish streaming platform BluTV in which the protagonist, played by Nejat Işler (“Winter Sleep”), “is a sociopath obsessed with the idea of respect,” according to the synopsis.

Ziyalar says increasingly Turkish dramas are being made for streamers, which means episodes are getting shorter — 50 minutes, whereas for linear TV the local norm is 90 minutes or more...
