The original was to be focused on the female character navigating the twisted misogyny of entertainment, but they switched showrunners after filming 80% of the first season, to the guy who made Euphoria, who had everything rewrote/reshot to instead glorify it all instead of subverting/fighting it. It’s basically the opposite of what it was supposed to be. It was very girl-focused under a female showrunner, switched to guy-focused under a male showrunner. Rolling Stone put it as explicitly as The Weeknd “who is co-creator, felt the show was heading too much into a ‘female perspective.’”
"Four sources say that Levinson ultimately scrapped Seimetz’s approach to the story, making it less about a troubled starlet falling victim to a predatory industry figure and fighting to reclaim her own agency, and more of a degrading love story with a hollow message that some crew members describe as being offensive.

Baldur’s Gate 3 on my partner’s days off when he wants to play games, that game is That Game, so freaking good, I think about it all the time. Because I don’t want to progress the game past our co-op session’s progress, and I’ve replayed Act 1 solo a few times over by now, I am back with good ol’ Skyrim otherwise.
I know it is a meme, but I genuinely have the thing of only modding and not playing Skyrim. I am proud to say I am at a point where I just play, instead of finding more mods. I feel like I have a pretty stable modlist, seldom crash, and this is because last winter I spent a lot of time with the crashlogger thing weeding out problematic mods. It is really hard not to go to nexus, I actually don’t visit it anymore at all, it is intense FOMO when I see others’ screenshots. My main achievement is that upon returning to Skyrim after a break, I even picked up my same character instead of starting over with fresh mods–it was like, not giving up progress.
