[mansplaining and metal gear]

Did a grocery run in jersey shorts and Metal Gear Rising tee I bought from Game Stop years and years ago. Ran into a D&D acquaintance grabbing things with their friends.

One of them - and he had to be at least ten years younger than me, they're all sophomores in college - saw my shirt and then started telling me how the Metal Gear storyline is quite convoluted to normies, and I would know that if I had played all the games.

BOY WHO ASKED

What was your end game, buddy? Did you think you were going to look like the smartest kid in the bread aisle?

Also: I have never heard someone say the word "normies" out loud before and it sure was a moment.

Omfg

...HE SURE DID ASSUME YOU DIDNT PLAY THE GAMES DESPITE HAVING A TSHIRT FOR IT

and iirc, i dont think MGS ever got the hot topic treatment which you could find their merch in non-nerd online stores so...????????

just you just yell RULES OF NATURE and cut them in half

Honestly I was so blindsided that I just pretended I didn't hear him and carried on my conversation with the D&D friend.

what a twat

shoulda said snake fucked otacon and moved on

"It's not that deep, Carl. Everyone is gay and has a gun."

exactly. it's not that deep

kojima and his enablers do but it's. not.

and they only moo because someone thought mooing robots would be unsettling
