what a thrill 🐍

hey. I hope you’re feeling well.

NOT FOR HONOR,
BUT FOR YOOOOOU

Hey, I hope you’re feeling well.

Do you like this font color? I like it. It’s not too gay, is it?

I’d happily ignore it for the entire month and not yap at you about it, but Google forcibly(rape) reminded me that there’s multinational corporations that unironically demand I celebrate the sin of pride for an entire month, by adding a Google Doodle onto my phone’s search bar, which my phone doesn’t have the option to remove.

I didn’t feel like resetting the entire Google app, which is the only way to remove them without waiting for them to change.

I just have never liked adverts put onto my devices against my will, whether they’re promoting sin or not. That’s why I switched to Linux in the first place, Microsoft started showing ads directly in your Start menu. A few months after my transition(lol) I saw that M$ was adding “Pride Month” ads on people’s lock screens. So I really couldn’t have escaped at a better time to save my sanity.

No, I’m not bothered by this one thing, not that there’d be anything wrong with that. When they forced the basketball doodle on my phone the other month, I reset the Google app to get rid of it. But it’s a pain to restore your settings.

So I installed a uhhhh… different launcher. It’s the Niagara Launcher, and so far I’m pretty impressed with it. I might not switch back.

It’s pretty neat. It basically lists your favorite apps(you can choose) in one row, with a very nice scrollable alphabet directly to the side. Very stylish, I recommend checking it out. Only downside is it covers up more of my very-tasteful wallpaper than usual.

Anyway… what else...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I finished metal gear solid 3

I hated it. Speaking of Pride Month though, I liked Raikov, it was pretty funny that you get cock-checked by Volgin while you’re in disguise and he can tell that it’s not Raikov.

Presumably Raikov has a smol femboi girldicc. Oh no… unless he’s got a Monster Energy can in his pants and it’s *Snake* who’s smaller…

Either way, uhhhh… the game? No, the game was … good. I liked… it. it was… good. Idk what to say about it. The amount of details and secrets in it is kinda mind-blowing. It even puts MGSV to shame in some ways.

Here’s just one random thing I learned: when you’re fighting The End, if you save and quit (ignoring Para Medic’s warning that she feels something bad will happen) if you wait a few days, The End will capture you and throw you in prison and you have to go aaaall the way back to fight him. But if you wait like, a week or more, he’ll literally just die of old age lol.

Isn’t that CRAZY? That’s genuine creative genius.

Now before I continue praising Kojima, lemme repeat what everyone already knows: the exposition dumps are absolutely ridiculous. They’re ridiculous. And frankly the story is not THAT interesting to have to sit through 5, 10 minute cutscenes. It’s not. So even though Kojima crafts these amazing, intricate narrative webs, the way he *delivers* the story is often EXHAUSTING.

I actually mentally checked out during the ending cutscenes, probably after Snake and EVA had sex, so I completely missed what the Boss did that made her such a hero. I had to go back and check. Yeah I guess she was a hero after all. Zzzzzzzzzzz

So… you know… great story, not always a great delivery. I LOVED Ocelot on the phone again at the end, that was beautiful.

Uhhhhhhhh… the motorcycle section at the end was abysmal. What else? Ah, escorting EVA—avoiding search parties and getting food for her—was CRUEL compared to Otacon’s exactly-18yo sister from MGS2, who you basically just had to leave alone while you held everyone up. Idk why everyone hated that so much, it took like 10 minutes. Meanwhile a dozen guys are hunting you and EVA’s ASSES and its’’’’’’’’’zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

another thing I wasn’t in love with was the BACKPACK feature. If all of this shit is in my BACKPACK to begin with, why do I have to—forget it, I don’t care.

Uhh… enough criticism. The game’s a masterpiece, there’s no way around it. It’s so WILDLY unique. The gameplay is… well, a lot of it is very good, even if the shooting isn’t wonderful. The bosses are all fun to fight. Even the ones that pissed me off at first.

The locations are fuuuuuun to go around in and explore. The FOOD system is surprisingly FUN to manage.

I really enjoyed it, it’s a damn good game.

Woooooooow , who cares?

Me neither. Anyway, I still have MGSV installed, maybe I’ll mess around with it a bit before MGSIV is freed in August. Might be fun to compare them, Iiiiiiii… may be able to appreciate the game more.

It’s nice to know who the Man on Fire is, for one thing. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz idk. It’ll be so weird, man. I always LOVED how SLICK MGSV plays. Now that I’ve survived the previous games (except 4) it’ll probably feel amazing.

Idk what I really want to play next, though. I’m also kinda in a… ...i want to just relax, that’s all.

Hey, here’s something fun for the start of the month that I’m not going to acknowledge again. I asked Gemini to draw me a while ago based on what it thinks of me.
