That’s true, but there was also a lot of backtracking in MGS1.

I did like the cold, metallic atmosphere of MGS1 with beautiful dithered textures. Likewise, the cell-shaded, organic design of the Big Shell is so nice. Each Metal Gear game seems to have such a unique style.

I think MGS1 is an excellent game, but in my opinion the subsequent games improved on the formula massively. MGS2 had a very similar vibe, and yes whilst I’d agree that some of the bosses can be frustrating, it felt like they were trying to do weird and interesting things (like defusing bombs whilst fighting fatman, and taking out a huge number of metal gears in a single fight). MGS3 just feels like the complete package to me: the best bosses in the series, an incredible soundtrack and a mostly standalone, well written story.

One thing I missed in MGS3 was sneaking around in tight interior spaces. The tanker sequence in MGS2 is a highlight of the series for me - going unnoticed in this heavily guarded ship with the rain streaming down the windows with that jazzy soundtrack playing.

I’m struggling to think of many games that capture the vibe of MGS1. The early Resident Evil games perhaps spring to mind - trying to survive alone with limited ammo and a conspiratorial backstory.

How exactly are they evolving if you kill them? Surely the ones you don’t kill evolve 🤔

I’m in an open relationship and I’ve been to a few parties where sex has happened, but I suppose that’s not ‘out of nowhere’.

I guess most recently, my boyfriend and I were walking around a national park. We were both feeling horny so snuck off into some bushes and I sucked him off 🥰 We were hidden away, but being in public like that was kinda hot.

It seems that the material destroyed at the Institute for Sexual Science is precisely the sort of stuff that the Trump regime wishes to supress. So any LGBT research and information.

Basically anything that the Nazis banned. The list here still seems relevant. Transpose ‘German’ for ‘American’:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_book_burnings#The_burnings_start

All of these types of literature, as described by the Nazis, were to be banned:

The works of traitors, emigrants and authors from foreign countries who believe they can attack and denigrate the new Germany (H. G. Wells, Romain Rolland);
The literature of Marxism, Communism and Bolshevism;
Pacifist literature;
Literature with liberal, democratic tendencies and attitudes, and writings supporting the Weimar Republic (Walther Rathenau, Heinrich Mann, Thomas Mann);
All historical writings whose purpose is to denigrate the origin, the spirit and the culture of the German Volk, or to dissolve the racial and structural order of the Volk, or that denies the force and importance of leading historical figures in favor of egalitarianism and the masses, and which seeks to drag them through the mud (Emil Ludwig); Books that advocate “art” which is decadent, bloodless, or purely constructivist (George Grosz, Otto Dix, Bauhaus, Felix Mendelssohn);
Writings on sexuality and sexual education which serve the egocentric pleasure of the individual and thus, completely destroy the principles of race and Volk (Magnus Hirschfeld);
The decadent, destructive and Volk-damaging writings of “Asphalt and Civilization” literati: (Oskar Maria Graf, Heinrich Mann, Stefan Zweig, Jakob Wassermann, Franz Blei);
Literature by Jewish authors, regardless of the field;
Popular entertainment literature that depicts life and life’s goals in a superficial, unrealistic and sickly sweet manner, based on a bourgeois or upper class view of life;
Patriotic kitsch in literature.
Pornography and explicit literature
All books degrading German purity.

I guess books that have been banned in US school libraries over the last few years too.

And finally, any political material that is antithetical to the far right.
