Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Metal Gear 2's sense of style and presentation is honestly insane for a game that came out in 1990. Twin Snakes doesn't just make the PS1 game easier because it also adds all the enemy AI improvements from MGS2 as well so you need most of those new tools to stay ahead, too! 000
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 02/10/2026and on the flip side, the MSX games have their virtues overlooked in the name of "its dated", Twin Snakes criticisms never go beyond "it makes Ocelot easy and the cutscenes are stupid", and 4 basically never gets any good faith arguments period, its always dismissed as over-indulgent hackery. 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026ackshualeeeee the stage is called Yangzte River - Three Gorges!!!! 000
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026the woman's hair seems almost like snakes, like a spacefaring medusa, or CL Moore's Shambleu, neat. 000

Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026thanks, that really clarified my statement in a way i didnt consider, youre so fucking clever and cool dude, i never wouldve comprehended this without you. 010
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026to be fair to Star Blazers or Robotech or Voltron those are also just regarded as separate entities from their parent material anyway lol (and yeah noone who speaks english is saying Uchuu Senkan Yamato over Space Battleship Yamato) 011
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026honestly either is fine for me. i like hearing explanations, but i also like piecing together what mightve been the creative process too. 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026as a creative myself i feel it begins with the surplus and even before then, but i realize 100% of the art you dont make is art noone else can appreciate but for me, im someone who loves diving into the mindset of the artist. forget death of the author, i want to psychically invade them lmao 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026i do! and like he is right stsr wars WASNT meant to last this long. theres a reason Lucas original 12 chapter epic didnt happen - many reasons in fact! as much as i wouldve loved to have seen his sequel saga ideas, he did feel the most important part of the story was concluded with the PT and OT 020
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026lol its ok im not here to start a big stupid internet fight or anything 210
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026well that is why i said it was only half true lol. it was an outline of a plan, a lot of stuff was shifted from that conception point to the end result of course. doesnt change the fact the original 77 film wasnt conceived as a stand alone story though, merely adapted into one for pragmatic reasons. 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026the first movie was retitled Episode 4 A New Hope for its theatrical re-release in 1980 to basically build up hype for The Empire Strikes Back which released later that same year. It's been "A New Hope" for like, 95% of its existence lol. 010
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Star Wars was conceived as a 12 chapter epic, then redrafted and preproduction narrowed the scope down to what Lucas felt would be the story he felt would stand alone the best. when it took off as a huge success, more movies followed. 110
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026so while specific details were never planned from the start saying Lucas never planned to make any sequels is just incorrect. Star Wars was conceptualized as a massive 12 chapter epic and the reason why ANH didnt release as Ep4 is cuz Lucas didnt even know if hed be able to make any more movies lol 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026the original draft was a hypothetical 12 episodes: 3 trilogies with a prelude, intermission and conclusion. obviously this was eventually cut down to just 3 episodes for the OT as it encompassed the most complete narrative, then in the 90s the PT was formed from these leftover ideas. 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026which, like, this isnt even unusual for how most creative endeavors unfold. you have a bunch of ideas, you narrow down your scope until its something you can feasibly accomplish, then if youre still motivated to make more you start drawing from those ideas that had to be left behind in older drafts 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026thats like half-true though. Lucas' script treatments clearly alluded to ideas he would go on to use later. ANH mightve been produced and filmed as a stand alone movie without any plans for continuation, but the creative process surrounding it always expanded beyond that scope. 200
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026the atmospheric synth tracks are all great. Unicron's approach, the Death of Optimus Prime, Vince DiCola really nailed a futuristic synthwave soundscape that must have really felt like what 20 years into the future seemed like back then. 120
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026and the art is, for real great. the backgrounds of weird alien worlds, the designs of not only the new characters but of other mechanical aliens like the Quintessons, the space ships, the transformation of Unicron, its all excellent. and the soundtrack holds up too, and not just the rock stuff. 120
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026saw Transformers '86 in a theatre today. First time watching it in almost 15 years; my 20th anniversary DVD was left behind when i moved to CA i still love it as much as i did then. it might be a 90 minute toy commercial dressed up like an anime music video but god its stylish and quotable. 120
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026i let my cats outside but only during the day and i always get them all inside by sunset. plus if im not home indont let them out at all, and i live in a low traffic suburb snd my house has a wall so yknow... it isnt the wilderness out there! 000

Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026yo are these the episodes that were digitally remastered by Operation Spin Booster on YouTube? 000
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I cant figure out how to make my latest activity to show my last four watched instead of just the last four i reviewed soooo Mechanical Violater Hakaider 3/5 Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me 4/5 and Liked (also The Missing Pieces also 4/5 and Liked) Coyote VS Acme 4/5 and Liked Tiki Tiki 3.5/5 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026i guess ultimately id rather either be playing a more fully realized 3D Solid game or a more intentionally limited 2D MSX game lol. MGS1 has its feet standing in both ponds and cant quite excel at either. also just gonna put this out there but the acting is just way better in Twin Snakes dont @ me! 000
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026MGS1 meanwhile makes you rely on a really unreliable autoaim that requires a second before actuslly shooting while dealing with enemies in single big ass 3D rooms where they are a constant menace you simply can not deal with. i appreciate this encourages being sneakier but it also feels artifical. 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026and in the MSX games combat is very simple and you only have to worry about whats on your active screen at a time. bullets have shitty arbitrary fall off but they also instant kill enemies and the shot comes out as soon as you press the button. 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026like when you bumble into an Alert in the later Solid games you have all kinds of options for mitigating it. when you bumble into an Alert in the MSX games the stealth is simplistic enough its not a pain to evade or fight back. MGS1 makes it really easy to be detected and pain in the ass to evade! 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026now mind you im not saying og MGS1 is bad or even that Twin Snakes supercedes it but I DO think Twin Snakes is more fun to play and more in depth of a game for it. PS1 MGS is basically an MSX Metal Gear with 3D graphics as far as actual gameplay goes but with less of the strengths those games had. 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026replaying PS1 Metal Gear Solid for thr first time in over a decade and a half and realizing people who hate its Twin Snakes remake compared to their either never actually played Twin Snake or worse are probably people that just hated Metal Gear Solid 2 back in the 2000s 100
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026we as a species need to come to terms with the reality that 300 is goofy and stupid fun about airbrushed muscle dudes fighting bizzare fantastical invaders and trying to use it as a political measuring stick is really REALLY silly. 000
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026you insinuated it by alluding with "pedoslop" gettin real sick of internet come backs blowing things off because they werent exact words. the fuck else are you clapping at somone with "pedoslop" for? 110
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026meanwhile i just mentally memorized everything like a lunatic psycho because i was too lazy to draw a map and im really good at maintaining spatial awareness rofl i did the same thing for NES zelda too 000
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026the insidiousness unsaid is because its a six fucking hour essay its an absolute pain in the ass to sit through to DEBUNK too. like who has time for that shit? so if you dislike it youll probably just ignore it and move on with your life like anyone sane and the essay continues to perpetuate lies! 083
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026dont you know when you get enough E-clout you can have a little disinformation, as a treat 010
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 14/09/2026the Ravenous trailer surpassed the Dread trailer's total views in like a day lol. It was 2.6mil then (it's 3.2mil views now) VS 2.5mil for the reveal trailer, 1.9mil for the overview trailer, 2mil for the second trailer, and 1.3mil views for the "History of 2D Metroid" trailer. The waves are huge! 010
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Nah, she's just entered the next phase of being galactic mama bear the hangry phase 000
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yeah, 2005 was firmly in the "Web 2.0" era. And then with the early 2010s, when internet bcame something you access anywhere and social media platforms began to absorb message board communities is what i call Web 3.0. Everyone is now exposed to everyone about everything everywhere. 000
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 14/09/2026my remark to that is why do we NOT want more movies like Excalibur again? that movie kicks ass!!! 020
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026yeah ableist against stupid people trying to stir shit up lmao the fuck out of here you dork 001
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026man its so distressing that the new starcraft project has such a great trailer that really goes back to rhe tone of the first game after SC2 moved more into being an epic heroic adventure knowing its gonna be some shitass FPS and wont come out until im 41 (assuming it doesnt just get cancelled) :[ 000
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026man im someone who still sees value in the original HP film at least (good music sets vibes etc) amd i can not imagine anyone thinking the HP films are a magnum opus lmao i thought these movies were falling off when i was a teenager with movie 3 ffs! 120
Cappn @cappn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026>no avatar >no posts >no followers >comes out of nowhere to talk shit and intentionally misread the conversation lol the fuck out of here with that go back to Twitter you brainlet 000
