Can fungus gnats cause my jade to literally drop it's branches?

My jade has had a quite a bad case of fungus gnats over the past few weeks, despite the traps you can see on the photos. I'm about to treat it with nematodes today and I find it's lost one of it's 15cm branches?! All the leaves that were lost were pretty healthy too. Is this the fungus gnats doing or something else? I also added cinnamon to the soil a few days ago.

Last of us 2 review- The game that didn't want to end

Just finished 2 for the first time. Honestly I thought it was going to end about 5 times before it did, starting with Abby leaving Lev and Yara in that trailer and going back to the aquarium to find Mel and Owen dead, and then she would go on to the theater from there.

Then she went back for them, then she went to get hospital supplies for Yara, then she went to the island to find Lev. Then finally she confronted Ellie in the theatre.

I was *really* sure it was going to end when Ellie and Dina were living happily at the farm together. I was really disappointed that Ellie chose to go back after Abby in California, when she had a pretty near perfect family life now. This was what tipped me to be team Abby, who I'd liked for most of the game (surprised to see some hate on here for her, I never got that). I think she definitely redeemed herself with Lev and Yara after being shitty with the WLFs. I also like how the game makes you think Abby is going to be the big bad, especially through the cover art, then you get to play as her and realise she's not.

I actually thought the rattlers part might have even been DLC as I was playing it for the first time so much later after release. It just felt weird to play more "missions" after what I thought was the epilogue at the farm.

It also completely bypassed me that Lev was trans. I did think he had a feminine voice, and that certain things about his backstory didn't add up, like him becoming a wife to the elder, but I thought that was some weird paedo thing in the cult.

I thought gameplay was decent but not too much of a step up from 1 which was a bit disappointing. I played on hard and thought it was quite easy just to sneak up and stealth kill enemies without them noticing.

The ending fight was brutal, probably too horrible for me. At times I wanted to just put the controller down and let Abby win. I was relieved she survived but couldn't Ellie have thought of sparing her 10 minutes earlier instead of fighting to the death first? Anyway I was already disappointed and annoyed by Ellie's decisions by that point.

I would say LOU2 had an amazing story, and decent gameplay. I probably won't be playing it again for a very long time. But interested to dive deeper into the story and theories now!

Rubber plant leaves turning yellow and dieing

In the last 2/3 weeks it's lost 2 leaves that turned yellow and fell off. These were the "worst" 2 leaves so I didn't think much of it. But now there's a few more leaves that are turning yellow too so I'm starting to get worried.

The plant is placed in a south facing extension, but only gets direct sunlight in the morning. There's 2 glass double doors and a sunlight so it goes get lots of light and also does get quite hot in here.

It was last repotted about a year ago and I just checked and it isn't root bound.

I water it once a month, the soil is pretty dry now but not bone dry.

I've owned it for about 3 years but it only moved into this extension in January this year. In these 3 years I think it's grown like 2 new leaves.
