Tf that supposed to mean😭

Played through mgs2 a couple times and I dont remember Snake ever being this harsh on Raiden in the codecs. It's not like Raiden was way out of left field or a combat rookie either, it just feels like Snake was being extra sassy

Always liked the watch Venom wears and seeing it when smoking the phantom cigar. Recreated it for my Pebble Time 2 so I could see it every day, super happy with how it came out!

While reorganizing my basement… the factory seal has done its job

and one of the best endings in video games – what a masterpiece!

Over the years, I’ve seen discussions about how Solid Snake in MG1 didn’t recognize that Venom wasn’t Big Boss, even though he had a large horn and a bionic arm. But at the end of the "Truth" cutscene where Venom breaks the mirror, he breaks that "illusion" and we see his true form, he never had a bionic arm or a permanently bloodied face, and the change in the size of his horn was all just a hallucinations, like mirrors of his psyche or visual metaphors, bionic arm symbolize that he lost something, Horn and Bloody face symbolize that he gradualy become a Monster/Demon. Venom looks differs from Big Boss mainly in having a small horn/shrapnell in his head and scars, and if we consider his pixelated appearance in MG1 as canon, he is wearing same green suit like in Truth cutscene, then when he met Solid, they only saw each other for a quick moment and were several meters apart, and I assume that during the boss fight, Solid was too busy trying to survive rather than examining what was sticking out of Venom's forehead. What do you think?

/ snippets of magazines talking about mgs! I love mgs so so much !!! it’s so fun reading reviews and or theories made before the game even came out! I’ve found these magazines at thrift stores and I’ve ordered a few as well! Mgs is so so special to me…

Not a cosplay unfortunately but will have to do

Although, considering his Medicine stat, no wonder he didn't realize there was another bomb...

(Peep that Decoy skill lmao)

I never even connected the dots of the story being allegorical to the Bible. I knew ADAM and EVA from MGS3 were referencing the bible, but i didn't think much deeper than that. I just had a random thought that David (Solid Snake) and John (Big Boss) were biblical names.

Then I found this:

This is perhaps the most interesting biblical interpretation.

In the Old Testament, in 1 Samuel 17, the young David defeats the giant Goliath despite being the apparent underdog.

Solid Snake has a similar role: he repeatedly defeats seemingly overwhelming enemies, including nuclear weapons and powerful military organizations, using skill and ingenuity rather than sheer strength.

But there's a second, more obscure connection.

In 1 Samuel 16 verses 6-13, David's older brother is named Eliab. Eliab is passed over when God chooses David, the youngest son of Jesse, to become king. Liquid's real name is Eli, and he is the older twin who believes he has been cheated of his rightful inheritance

It also went into ADAM and EVA and made me realize that YOU were the Snake that is betrayed and learns the forbidden knowledge.

I always find something new with this series, and I've been a huge fan since the first metal gear solid. Best franchise ever made.

Hi

I have made patch that allows MGS1 to be played natively on MacOS with silicon M-chips

Game is not included, you have to get your own copy. Tested only with GOG version. Both main game and VR missions working.

Additionally the textures were rescaled to 4K to look better on bigger screens.

Let me know if you run into any issues

Ps. First time playing

I hate to agree with him on anything, but as repulsive as he is, Huey is ultimately correct that MSF had no business having a nuke, that it doesn’t make sense as a deterrent because it was supposed to be a secret, and that Snake’s insistence on having one is the reason MSF went under. They had a good thing going until they got that nuke.

The real question however is—would Cipher/Skull Face have been able to close in on the original Mother Base if the pretense of a nuclear inspection was off the table? Would not getting the nuke merely delay the inevitable? It’s possible, because even Paz came to believe that Cipher had other spies blended in with MSF, and they certainly had the pockets to do the impossible. Zero wouldn’t just light up Mother Base because the myth of Big Boss was too valuable, but Skull Face obviously had no such qualms.

Hey all. I figured I’d post a picture of the statue I printed/painted from NomNom studios. Made a few modifications to the print (modeling the eyepatch for Snake/Cutting off a mirror to make it more accurate to the game bikes)

Had a small print error with the headlight but didn’t mind enough to remake it. Also didn’t want to spend an obscene amount for chrome paint for the headlight as I rarely use it, but overall, I’d say this looks… pretty good!

Figured I’d share it for all to see
