I mean yeah obviously LANTERNS landed it but I'm still awed at the sheer number of outs and solves they've written in that final ep to make anything that would come after it work

there are so many things to say about last night's SNL's "Press Your Luck" sketch but the biggest one to me is THE POINT OF PRESS YOUR LUCK IS THAT WHEN SPINS ARE GIVEN YOU ARE FORCED TO USE THEM THE PREMISE DOESN'T WORK SHE WOULD'VE HAD TO USE THE SPINS FROM SHE GOT GIVEN THE SPINS

it's bugfuck that the top of SNL, the part that's at 11:30, the cold open/monologue/first sketch, is maybe the worst it's ever been, meanwhile the rest of the show runs as you'd expect

a politics of endless retribution is never gonna work out the way you want it so the left does have to include forgiveness in its program; luckily we can look at history for ways in which forgiveness is earned, like, for instance: STRUGGLE SESSIONS

the wild thing about CONTROL RESONANT is that I do see the way in which its combat puzzle is an evolution of CONTROL; like that game it's about having to pick your targets in the right order, using your abilities to create the openings; they replaced shooting with melee to get more action juice

you know, it's Ravage, the hot new villain that rewrote Aunt May's mind, I mean it's The Beyond Corporation™, who rewrote Ben Reilly, i mean Chasm, I mean it's the Sin-Eater shotgun that rewrote Norman Osborn, I mean it's Doctor Octopus that rewrote Spider-Man's mind

as someone who has kept abreast of The Amazing Spider-Man because hate is the sword I need sharpest, the biggest problem of Ravaged as a comic is that, rather than feel exceptional, "villain with a big retcon and the ability to change a character's mind and actions" has been the default mode
