feeling the urge to play majora’s mask again. despite its age, it remains my favorite Zelda game i dig a story about finding meaning in the small, intimate moments before the world ends about helping others, even if it won’t stop the sky from crashing down these days, the moon looms ever larger.

the whole review is an exercise in Missing the Damned Point, but this is particularly egregious.

Also, there's a line that Billy says at one point, something to the effect of "you missed what those movies were about: flesh and fluid," which I agree with. But if you're going to say that, use really good-looking practicals for your gore!

Riley: Haha, right, what does it mean to make this whole big sexy thing out of slasher stuff but then not have the slasher stuff be... particularly sexy?

Chris: The sex scenes suck! I like sex scenes too!

Riley: I think that for me, personally, sex isn't that interesting, and so when Kris is like "ah my big sex hangup!" I'm like... "yeah, sex is weird, whatever." But I mean good for Kris ending up with Gillian Anderson and having a whole big sex and blood thing, like that's fun!

Chris: I think that's part of why I'm frustrated. I also had a huge crush on Gillian Anderson as a kid, and working that out on the big screen with Einbinder should work on paper! I agree with the impulse, I just dislike the execution.

Riley: Yeah, I thought if you're gonna do "weird relationship to media," I Saw The TV Glow did it in a way that felt a lot more relatable and affecting to me.

it’s beyond brave of konami, announcing an experimental submersible that implodes immediately upon summon (taking an opponent’s monster with it) on the anniversary of the OceanGate incident.

Submersible Battle-Assist Robot

LINK-2 WATER Machine/Link/Effect

800 ATK

2 Machine monsters

If this card is Link Summoned: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy it and this card, then you can Special Summon 1 Machine monster with 1600 or less ATK from your GY, except a WATER monster. If this card is banished: You can add 1 Machine monster whose ATK equals its DEF from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Submersible Battle-Assist Robot" once per turn. You cannot Special Summon the turn you activate either of this card's effects, except Machine monsters.

it’s a niche and very situational trap, but if it works even once, it’ll be worth the effort. was considering splashing in a K9 sub-engine but i didn’t want to sacrifice performance for the bit. (credit to @fraumarigold.bsky.social for the token art)
