Прошёл-таки MGS Delta: Snake Eater.

Несколько рандомных мыслей чтобы не растекаться в слишком длинный пост:

• Дэвид Хэйтер - так себе озвучка Снейка. Ну либо это у Кодзимы на тот момент была такая режиссура. Работа Кифера Сазерленда в MGSV была более живой - не было ощущение, что у персонажа запор. (это пункт со звёздочкой для зануд, звёздочка в первом моём комменте)
• По механикам игра явно плохо состарилась. Ремастер её не спас, а лишь немного оживил, а местами и наоборот.
• Но графон в ремейке-ремастере стал красивый.
• В MGSV Кодзиме пришлось придумывать сюжетное обоснование для полуголой женщины в кадре.
• Но от околобондовского тропа "СЕЙЧАС Я ВСЁ ОБЪЯСНЮ перед тем как тебя убить" он не избавился.
• Боссфайты имеют очень резкий переход от духоты к чизингу как только раскусывается какая-то фишка противника. Какой-то середины как будто почти нет.
• Сюжетно игра приятная, хотя не могу сказать, что я бы понёс её в ТОП-10 или ТОП-20 лучших игр.
• Частично это в том числе вызвано сочетанием того, что она плохо состарилась и балансом между серьёзным сюжетом и клоунадой.

Короче, лично мне, и геймплейно и сюжетно скорее больше нравится MGSV. Хотя по смыслу лежащему под сюжетом MGS 3/Delta не уступает.

Ever wondered what your dog actually gets up to while you’re at work? The range of unapproved vices is impressive.

At a time when numbers inhabit and caress my days, when smiles and gratitude expand my very being, when a web of pleasurable thrills settles beneath my skin, I wonder if you will have the courage to murder your pride and your fears, to tear through your shadow and let your vibrant colors emerge...

I get why people are saying Trump is a pedophile: ignorance and a desire to say words that sound as harsh as the horrific person he is. He's not a pedophile, of course. I don't know why we don't just say "child molester", "rapist," or "child rapist," all of which he is, by a huge mountain of evidence.

I object from time to time, and I assume many pedophiles do, as well. Many pedophiles live lives of extreme self-control, committed to never touching a child inappropriately. By contrast, I don't think Trump has denied himself anything in his long, disgusting life.

First Things First

This is one of those quotes I may have posted before, but I don’t see it in a search and (importantly) it’s the sort of advice you can’t hear too much of as a writer, I think!

“If you’re going to be a writer, the first essential is just to write. Do not wait for an idea. Start writing something and the ideas will come. You have to turn the faucet on before the water starts to flow.” ― Louis L’Amour

A slight tangent; I vividly remember being about twelve and directly knowing people involved in a story that made the national news. BBC coverage, etc. And I was totally shocked that the report was essentially... pure nonsense?

Not in the he-said, she-said way, but really basic, verifiable facts that had a massive impact on the story were wrong. Like 'John Doe has now been hospitalised as a result of the incident' when in reality, I'd spoken to him in his front garden about ten minutes before. Or when a woman labelled 'Jane Doe, neighbour' was interviewed as part of the segment... Except this was a completely different woman, who wasn't a neighbour at all and didn't know any of the involved people in the first place.

It was really quite shocking to me at the time, as I still fully believed that news was all verified and fact-checked. It was a real watershed moment to realise this wasn't the case at all.
