Kojima's works really work best from the pretentious asshole point of view~

If we want games to be treated like art then that means treating them like art, and sometimes that means that games will try to be more than what you literally see on screen and do with the controller. Saying it's "pretentious" any time any creator asks you to think laterally is just a flavor of anti-intellectualism, but one that fits nicely within acceptable, mainstream rational intellectualism where everything can be explained by observable, reproducable cause-and-effect, and if it can't then it's worthless.

Oops. I mean, haha, what was that wacky thing with the AI all about? I'm sure MGS4 will explain it all.

Lord forgive me, but I'm back on my shit

Nobody else may ever understand my love for obscure European metal subgenres, but I don't care. My personal soundtrack is somewhere between a Power Rangers soundtrack and the world's longest D&D campaign.

I don't find fun in anything. Doing anything other than lay in bed and feel sad is a chore.

I want to somehow be involved in a major political scandal at the Watergate Hotel (now the Watergate Complex).

It would be a number of smaller scandals, all related to the original Watergate scandal in some way, and all related to eachother. That way, instead of simply calling it "Watergate" or even "Watergategate," media outlets will be forced to add an additional -gate for each successive discovery.

"Hey, did you hear the news about Watergategategategategategate?"
"Nah, I stopped paying attention after Watergategategategate."

It's a madman's dream, but maybe after reporting on Watergategategategategategategategategategategate, people will finally come up with another name for controversies instead of adding "-gate" to anything that gets reported on for more than a few minutes.

Failing that, I could be an informant like Deepthroat. Except my alias would be taken from more contemporary, popularly-known pornos.

Ableist capitalism, coming soon to a bathroom near you.

Bad back? Weak knees? Incontinence? Die somewhere else trash, we're ~~profiting~~ here.

Ugh, I can't force myself to do anything productive. When I think about coding, writing, drawing or playing guitar, I just get this tired feeling in my bones.

Got a whiskey serving set for Christmas, and I can't use it because of the painkillers I'm on. The honey and snack peanuts I can take or leave, but it has a giant spherical ice mold that looks really fun.

I acquired a 3000+ gold bounty by killing the Manic residents of Split. I didn't realize that this had incurred a bounty until over an hour later, after lighting the flame of Agnon.

Feeling confident, I tried to resist arrest.

It's one thing to shoot a staff at Golden Saints from high ground where they can't path to you; it's another thing to get cornered by five of them at once.
