[mgs] alright i'm snake eatin' over here

going to see homosexual yautja 2nite

wikipedia notable.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sickos

i don't think i have the courage of spirit to figure out psp emulation to play peace walker myself.............

if nothing else it's impressive that metal gear has a canonical secret cabal pulling the strings of politics and finance and it doesn't come across antisemitic at all

Posting fic at midnight on a Monday: Woke Up New, Metal Gear Solid 2 fic. Emma & Otacon after the events on Big Shell. Do you ever get so mad at a game you have to write fic undoing a canon death? I do. I do. archiveofourown.org/works/73952151

[voice of someone who knows too many canadian engineers] otacon should have attended mcgill instead of mit because the iron ring would go crazy with his design

typo in word > backspace to correct myself > between my noticing my error and my backspacing, word corrected me > add letter i missed > now i have a word spelled wrong in a new and exciting way

crying and shaking and telling myself it isn't too late to finish this fic tonight, i'm just being fooled by the evil 4pm darkness that hates me and wants me dead

lrt

As of now the translation is COMPLETE!! all parts are out 😍😍 and it's an incredible read!! Jin is an incredible translator!! Be sure to give them some nice words on twitter at @itsjinvi 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

waking up early on a weekend spoiled by bad headache that required brain reset via nap smh

[mgs] i wrote like 200 words and then went back to start ng+ on mgs1. otacon's stealth kit is so op this is real speedrunning tech 🫡

one might be excited for a movie... but one must still be cautious.........

help

do i need to go back to livejournal to find one good emma mgs fic. what's the play here

i bought a nagabe yaoi manga second hand and the previous owner left a castiel bookmark in it..

it's fucked up that the highest billed games are bigger now that there are so many of them. games should be shorter so we can play more of them

last woman we see in the game is pregnant. metal gear

i wasn't aware grinch NTR was part of the mythos. i see i'm missing more cultural context than i thought.

funny thing about mgs is that it's both misogynist and homoerotic but the one doesn't cause the other [see prior scholarship on shounen that comes out gay because it hates women so much]. they're two independent qualities of the work

tidying my media log and idk why but i keep laughing at listing the iliad as a reread. guy in 600bce athens saying the same thing i'm sure.

i've been off dairy for a couple weeks now just to see if it had any effect and the only one is that i think i like my morning iced coffee better with almond milk. hello. i'm the world's most lactose tolerant person and i'm here to stunt on everyone else

did youtube get rid of the function where hovering over a timestamp in the progress bar gives you a thumbnail of that moment or did i lose it in the options somehow

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

(watching the new zohran clip) making a donation at transition 2025 dot com is me every time i crack open an acquaintance's gofundme

Zohran is cool and awesome and I’m thrilled for him and all of us but at my core this is who I am: the Jewish guy who shows up to be a world class hater in support of his friend

[mgs] alright i poked around the two pre-solid metal gear games and pogged over east coast elections now we can get down to business (starting mgs2)

nyc and va friends congratulations. polls don't even close here for another twenty minutes can you pass along some of that juice

Cheney was so evil that him dying actually lifted a curse

[mgs] [technically just mg] hey thanks man

if i keep playing the mgs games in order i will either acclimate myself slowly to modern AAA games or i will learn the exact release year where AAA games are too big and i get scared. either way it's educational

[mgs] throwing my playstation out the window because i just realized the joke in naomi hunter and frank jaeger's last names

i've had a song from hadestown in my head all day....... because in mgs gray fox tells snake "make me feel alive again"........... and my brain autofilled "sing for an old man" 😔

getting a good grade in filling my ballot bubbles in neatly

imagining: hunters in alaska going hey man did you see the cryptid out by twin lakes. i swear there's some kind of shambling man thing out there [it's snake on week three of not shaving]

i got an email telling me i need to move my dono over from the organizer's paypal to the official campaign so ig this is a good time to tell you all that if you've got the money spare for a recurring donation this is a great cause: chuffed.org/project/crip...

looking at mgs fanart is a trip because there's been an active fandom for literal decades, i'm excavating 2010s art styles i haven't thought about since the 2010s

the four total careers for american sf writers in the 30s through the 70s: -ad copywriter -journalist -engineer (us military) -engineer (snack food machinery. snacks consumed primarily by us military)

thinking about gene wolfe's coworker being driven mad by potato chips again

the antagonist of 20th century boys... gur sevraq

lrt that penric cover!!

Lois McMaster Bujold sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/bujold... was born on this day, so here are some of her Japanese book covers (Artist: :浅田隆, [couldn't identify], [couldn't identify] and 浅田隆):

six dollar for a gallon ziploc packed with spools of thread you wish you wish you were me

anybody need anything from goodwill

listen to the quintishill wreck wtyp > get to the safety first > think "thank god i'm too fat to ever get nutty putty'd" > hear "did she take you to Fat Man's Misery?" > perish

i finished 20th century boys a couple days ago and have been meditating on it.... this is a story built on the foundations of nostalgia for childhood in the 60s/70s but i think where it falters the most is when it leans too hard into that nostalgia as like, the one driving force in the world

[mgs] finally playing this game for the first time. they call my snake agent 007. 0 weapons 0 bullets 7 deaths
