10 year moratorium on funny dialogue writing. games need to be so bone dry you get excited like a parched man in the desert if there's a single subtly humorous tone in one singular line delivered multiple hours into the game which then becomes an omnipresent meme in the fanbase because it's the closest thing to a joke there was.

can I just say that we all owe Kojima an apology for Metal Gear Solid 2? He looked right into the camera and said “the future of information control will not be censorship, it will be drowning people in trivial noise and misinformation until people partition themselves into their own separate realities” in TWO THOUSAND AND ONE. Three years before Facebook existed. Kojima gave us the biggest Babe-Ruth-pointing-at-the-sky called shot of all time and we weren’t ready for it.

Raiden is a diegetic video game character who is an anxious millennial being told to replicate the past while living in different circumstances who is a parallel between the player obediently accepting the limitations of the game and a soldier taking orders. And he gets sexually harassed by the president of the United States of America.

Kars4Kids being in the news again has reminded me that Oorah is one of those research rabbit holes that will drive you insane because it's impossible to describe without sounding at least a little anti-Semitic.

"ok so you know those really annoying Kars4Kids ads? You know the ones that are like '1-877-KARS-4-KIDS' yeah those? Ok so all of the money from that charity goes to this organization called Oorah which is this non-profit dedicated to supporting the Haredi Jewish community in New York and New Jersey. Yes they advertise nationwide, no they do not mention their religious affiliation in the ads. What are Haredi Jews? They're like the Duggar family of Jews we don't have time to get into it. What kind of services does Oorah provide? Mostly free trips to Israel for teenagers where they can listen to settler propaganda and hook up with IDF soldiers. Do they do anything else? They invest in real estate, they run some upstate New York summer camps that are famous in the area for labor and safety violations and they also do adult matchmaking. Why would a charity need to run a matchmaking service? Because the Haredim do arranged marriages look I told you we can't get into this right now. Oh also they run an annual 'charity auction' that is probably an illegal raffle and their mascot is an anthropomorphic $5 bill named Fiveish. No I'm not kidding bro I fucking WISH I was kidding rn"

Now you might be saying "hey Minerva I recognize that mascot, isn't that Yapdollar???" Yes and no. When he's promoting Oorah he's Fiveish and when he's narrating over bad Chinese lifehack videos he's Yapdollar it's sort of a Jeckyll and Hyde situation.
