...we don't talk about Metal Gear Survive.

Seriously, just...don't.

Thank you, for seeing my autistic infodump, we now return you to your regularly scheduled BlueSky, already in progress. (I'm a ridiculous turbonerd for this franchise and will evangelize at the drop of a hat.)

The original Metal Gear, and it's sequel, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake are also in the Master Collection, but I'd recommend holding off until you know you like the series. 8bit games be 8bit games.

MGS4 is currently only available on the PS3 and is a huge pain in the ass to emulate, but it's finally exfiltrating the Cell Processor in August, with Master Collection Volume 2

MGS3 takes us back to the origins of the saga. Lies, betrayals, and revelations of the Cold War. In addition to the Master Collection port of the HD remaster...

MGS2 (PS2) is what sold the PlayStation 2.

I generally recommend playing in release order, starting from Metal Gear Solid, on the PS1 or Master Collection (There's a Gamecube remake, The Twin Snakes, but it kinda sucks)

If you've never played them...time for the infodump

(This fan trailer contains mild spoilers, I'll vouch for the rest of the trailers being spoiler free, within reason. Unless noted otherwise, the Master Collection releases are the best way to play the series)

Once a YouTube anarchist made the joke “don’t teach liberals new words, they will just use them wrong” - I believe that we should expand that to everyone in every political spectrum in social media

Metal Gear makes a lot more sense when you quit thinking of it as Tom Clancy or the Bourne franchise…and realise that it’s R rated GI Joe.

Sped read it as I did with books at a kid, then spent rest of the next two school years debating said religious education teacher on some things that really conflicted or were just bullshit.

I completely disagree with this premise. It dangerously absolves conservative Christians for their intimate involvement in creating the 1990s/2000s Teen Culture.

Every time this crosses my feed, I renew my begging Spider-Man stans to, if they're sick of the editorial's fuck fuck games, QUIT BUYING THE FUCKING BOOK.

I've been thinking a lot about it and people still giving Marathon a shot after everything Bungie has become in the last decade feels like Evan Dorkin's "Gotta Have My Batman!" Comic about the state of comic fans and becoming complacent with garbage media.

Some people still gotta have my Gotta Have My Batman.

@gundampixel.bsky.social is one of the best follows on here if you're a fan of the wow cool robot show.

Animation has an audience, but movie studios seem to not get the memo.

sometimes i get insecure because im like "what if too many of the tabletop rpg npcs in my campaign are women? am i a hack?" and then i remember that my first d&d campaign ever the gm wrote 1 singular female npc for the entire game and she turned out to be an evil succubus who we had to kill

The cover to "For Better or for Worse: The Comic Art of Lynn Johnston." The cover shows her sitting in front of alot of panels of her strip.

A sample color Sunday strip.

Can't imagine how this went terribly wrong

...didn't that trigger a riot, in Chicago, 1979?

Nowadays, it'd likely be considered a little too on the nose.
