A fun thing about computer skills is that as you have more of them, the number of computer problems you have doesn't go down.
This is because as a beginner, you have troubles because you don't have much knowledge.
But then you learn a bunch more, and now you've got the skills to do a bunch of stuff, so you run into a lot of problems because you're doing so much stuff, and only an expert could figure them out.
But then one day you are an expert. You can reprogram everything and build new hardware! You understand all the various layers of tech!
And your problems are now legendary. You are trying things no one else has ever tried. You Google them and get zero results, or at best one forum post from 1997. You discover bugs in the silicon of obscure processors. You crash your compiler. Your software gets cited in academic papers because you accidently discovered a new mathematical proof while trying to remote control a vibrator. You can't use the wifi on your main laptop because you wrote your own uefi implementation and Intel has a bug in their firmware that they haven't fixed yet, no matter how much you email them. You post on mastodon about your technical issue and the most common replies are names of psychiatric medications. You have written your own OS but there arent many programs for it because no one else understands how they have to write apps as a small federation of coroutine-based microservices. You ask for help and get Pagliacci'd, constantly.
But this is the natural of computer skills: as you know more, your problems don't get easier, they just get weirder.
I used Midjourney to create these portraits of Naked Snake and Hideo Kojima as muppets!
You can cook rations on a rotating spit, sitting next to a sentient cat during a major boss fight.
If you jump off a roof and into a specific bale of hay, it plays an unnecessarily dramatic slow motion animation.
There’s a gun that has a 1/3 chance to shoot an actual tornado. You can catch people in the tornado and watch them as they spin. This is never thought of as impossible or supernatural by anybody in-game.
Your R&D deam can develop doritos, mountain dew, and AXE bodyspray. You can also wear shirts with their logos on it.
“A CARDBOARD TANK? KAZ, THATS BRILLIANT!!”
“Meow? MEOW? Meow meow meow!”
Big Boss sleep talks about dinosaurs and believes wholeheartedly in santa claus. He’s 39.
Kaz has an obsession with the sound of train engines. It borders on something sexual. It’s mentioned once offhand and never brought up again in canon.
“Just out of curiosity, do ghosts have legs or what?”
“Alright! No more uniforms!! From now on, we’re all going NAKED!!”
Big Boss can lift a tank with his bare hands. You just have to mash a button hard enough. This absurd feat of strength is never brought up again in canon.
The final boss theme is a J-pop song.
You can wear nothing but swim trunks throughout the entire game if you want to.
You can wear a shirt that says BIG BOSS with an arrow pointing downward.
The CIA director’s name is Hot Coldsman.
“Cecile Cosima Caminades? You know, if you say part of that in Japanese, it sounds like “Kojima kamina desu”…I can’t believe it!! Do you know what that means?? KOJIMA IS GOD!!”
Probably the best New Year meme ever.
(The flags in the garland make a phrase Говно с дымом, shit with smoke, which is an anagram of С новым годом, Happy New Year).

Strayed off from the well-lit path...
By fireflies and neon lights, we’ll dance until we die!
These are fantastic!
Peace Walker art dump there we go.

This is very important and it must be known that these 19th C. farting competition scrolls exist.
Japanese art scroll, HE-GASSEN (Farting Competitions). Edo period (1603-1868).
Holy moly

My husband and I were working on a retro-style platform Peace Walker fangame. But even non-commercial fangames can get one into trouble so we decided to stop. Sorry. I don't have the heart to take down this blog. If you'd like the sprites for your own non-commercial stuff, let me know!
