i wasn't happy with the last version of my Metal Gear guide, so i spent all night redoing it. it's never been a better time to get into the series, so hopefully this helps! bsky will compress this to oblivion so here's an alternate link files.catbox.moe/mnjxnr.png

a very tall image depicting a guide to the Metal Gear/Metal Gear Solid series. the bottom third is dedicated to Hideo Kojima's other games, including SNATCHER, Policenauts, the infamous P.T. Demo, and Death Stranding.

spent two days working on this but here we go.

a very tall image with mutliple game logos explaining the Metal Gear/Metal Gear Solid franchise and Hideo Kojima's other games, which include Snatcher, Policenauts, Zone of the Enders, Boktai, Castlevania: Lord of Shadow, the infamous PT Demo, and Death Stranding.

couldn't find anything like this so i made my own

it's the classic Buff Doge vs Loser Doge (Cheems) meme. this time they have guitars.

Buff Doge is labeled "Christian music in the 1950s and 1960s" and captioned "I write powerful songs that demonstrate my strong conviction in the redemption that can be found in the grace of Christ, while speaking truth to power in a way that anyone can find universal"

Loser/Cheems is labeled "Christian music now" and captioned "I write vapid pop music for culty megachurches that read like creepy obsessive love songs if you changed the names"

not everyone can grasp post-modernism and that's fine but that's not a flaw in post-modernism

this weirdo had a default pfp until i called him out on it and this was his solution. we're not going to make it as a species

a screenshot of Dominic Tarason's post explaining the (absurd) reason for a particular visual novel being pre-emptively banned from Steam

"Before anyone goes 'But what did they ACTUALLY do wrong to get banned?' the dev's theory really does seem accurate: they drew tired office workers in their mid/late 20s looking too cute.

Steam doesn't have 'rules.' Just vibes that moderation staff can invoke"

a screenshot of user "sugoiknight" says, "or it's item four on this list from the dlsite page," under which is a list of warnings from the aforementioned visual novel's dlsite page, which include "horror effects using sound effects," "suggestion of drug use," "trypophobia," "non-consensual sexual depictions," "jump scare" and text in Japanese I'm not able to transcribe. "sugoiknight" previously had a default pfp, for context.

my reply to them: "Steam is full of games like that. your gotcha is boring. get a pfp and maybe people might take you seriously"

"sugoiknight" comes back with "okay" and their new pfp, which is literally just a poorly-cropped screenshot of their default pfp and a bit of their username.

my reply: "jfc"

jfc is there an image that more aptly defines this shithole nation we call America?

a phone screenshot (on an Android, fyi) of an AP News feature about "American objects," things in America and its history that have played some part in its present day culture. on the left is the iPhone. on the right is a racist "whites only" sign.

got tired of trying to explain to people why my tastes in sci-fi run the way they do so i made it simple: i prefer starfish

DAD, approaching CALVIN who is listening to a turntable: Getting into science fiction? I'll show you something interesting.
[Panel 2]
DAD, gesturing towards turntable: There are two kinds of aliens: rubber foreheads and starfish. All aliens fall into one of those two categories. Klingons [alien race from Star Trek]? Rubber forehead. Xenomorphs [creepy insect-like monsters from Aliens franchise]? Starfish.
CALVIN, attentively: Yeah...
[Panel 3]
DAD, continuing: Star Trek aliens are all rubber foreheads. Star Wars, rubber foreheads. Mass Effect? Rubber foreheads, including the Reapers, who look like starfish but are rubber foreheads. Dead Space? Starfish. System Shock 2? They look like rubber foreheads but they're really starfish.
[Panel 4]
CALVIN, in bed, unable to sleep, exposed to knowledge mankind was not meant to have:

my only stipulation is ask permission for NSFW. but i'll probably say yes, especially if it's Mar Shen.

it took me a long time to appreciate sports, having felt excluded from enjoying it most of my life and even going through a phase where i believed sports was ontologically evil. but i have queer friends who helped me get into it and so now i've been into football for 15 minutes and i sound like this

thinking about this old post i saw on Fandom!Secrets waaaay back in the day (props to those who remember.) deep down, i believe this is what the majority of classical music fans believe. John Zorn would be so disappointed in these people.
