I’m excited about my next couple of videos, Boss. We’ll cover what happens in Peace Walker, how Metal Gear games changed the medium, how MGS2 anticipated the rise of machine learning/ the modern tech world, and finally, we’ll scour for secrets in the cutscenes of MGSV.
@OliverJia1014 I owe you an apology. I still don't think 'China virus' is the right term by any means, but you were more right about Xi Jinping's regime and its culpability than I initially admitted https://t.co/XnpZjmPDox
@OliverJia1014@TwitterMoments I am opposed to totalitarianism of all stripes. But I’m also opposed to using politically expedient lies and false outrage to cover for a demagogue; ironically the calling card for tyrannies of all stripes, wouldn’t you agree?
@OliverJia1014@TwitterMoments Globalization and no preparation are the culprit. We are all to blame. To pin everything on China, regardless of short term impact, is a reckless, and dangerous, lie. Do people have to get hurt before this is something willingly admitted? And FYI I dislike Xi Jinping immensely
@john_sipher The crappy thing is I used to have a band way, way before Trump called ‘Modern Hoax’. Suffice to say I am now moderately concerned about the name’s ’staying power’. Hard to imagine but when I came up with it (at age 14) hoax wasn’t a word you heard often
I love the hypocrisy of ‘gamers’ (and even some press) reacting to the PS5 virtual GDC presentation. ‘Don’t lie to us...but don’t tell us too much of the truth, it’s boring!’ I guess people have no interest in how consoles are made / work
@shocktastic @Fight_Me_Nerd When you were 13, did you have to worry about being reelected? Again, it was a time of mass hysteria. FFS senators were being mysteriously targeted with Anthrax
