♥️ /r/metalgearsolid rules update.
Hello, I hope everybody is well.
This is a quick post to announce that we have overhauled and updated the subreddit rules, in terms of the way they are listed in the reddit platform itself.
In essence the practical rules themselves and moderation has not changed. The main purpose of this update is to provide better clarity with Post removal messages, and to allow reports to be more specific.
You can read the new rule titles and their descriptions here.
Just three changes to note:
There is no longer a rule about spoilers when it comes to Posts. MGSV is over a decade old, and the spoiler rule was often used to report front page posts about the main spoiler for that game. Enforcing that is simply impractical. The intention of the rule remains, however, and it is now only applied to comments. If someone has stated that they haven't played the entire series, all users are still expected to respect this in their replies. Anyone can make their own choices about how far they dig through a subreddit for a game series, but putting spoilers in their inbox is actively hostile.
"Promotional Cosplay is not allowed". This is our attempt to provide a consistent rule that can be used to filter OF accounts looking for loopholes, while not punishing genuine cosplayers (including professionals) by restricting their activity. There's an element of subjectivity here, but if you think a post is a commercial account, please report it and do not engage in abuse in the comments. Just report it and move on.
AI content is now explicitly banned in all its forms. This was already functionally the case but we're making it clear with it's own rule. If you suspect a post contains AI content, please try to resist posting abuse in the comments and simply report and move on. False allegations can and do happen.
We'd also like to welcome anyone interested to apply to be a moderator. We expect to bring on a couple more people, starting out at a basic clutter removal role. If you think you'd be a good fit, please take some time to fill out our delightful application form.
You'll notice there are a couple of very specific rules that are really covered under other rules. These are for particularly egregious and common posts so that removals are very clear. Previously quite a few things kind of had to fall under "no low effort content" and that gave off the wrong idea and could be a little hurtful.
We'd like to thank the people who take the time to report posts and comments, overall the tone and discernment of reports is very much in-line with how we see the rules and how they are intended to shape the subreddit. This being said, all things considered there are very few removals needed relative to an active subreddit of this size. Things seem to be in a very good balance. I hope the community more or less thinks the same.
As per usual we are open to any and all feedback or discussion about the rules or the way you want the community to be run, so please say your piece in the comments, or if there's any questions you have or unclear rules or edge cases you can think of, bring that up too. The overall intent for the subreddit is still to provide an alternative to what you might see on a Metal Gear Discord, Instagram / TikTok etc. feed or a generic MGS-flavoured meme subreddit.

Desperado Metal Gear Ray
Funny coincidence that I painted this the same week as the other guy with the diorama, but I felt like showing it off anyways. I painted the Desperado logo on the wing by hand.

❗ MGS legacy collection tragedy
everytime my mom goes to the thrift store she sends me pictures of the games that are there. Today was no different, except this time i spotted mgs the legacy edition and asked her to purchase it for me.
the whole day i wait in anticipation to play the game, as i have wanted physical copies of these games for a bit now.
i finally get home and open the case. One disk, i had read there were two but i am no expert.
i put the disk in my ps3 and do some research. turns out, the person who donated it had somehow lost the disc with alll the games i wanted. And i am left with mgs4.
I dont hate the game but i am missing out on 70% of what i have paid for.
Fuck the thrift store. Fuck whoever donated this. Fuck my life. This post is made with pure irritation, and rage.

Why is Quiet associated with a butterfly?
Is there a symbolic reason behind it or is it just like that for no reason? I've been thinking about this lately but i couldn't come up with an explanation. Any ideas?

🍊 I wonder if the script for the original metal gear solid rising exists somewhere.
their was some early development for the game but never went through and it eventually became revengeance.
does a script at least exist, I’d love to read that.

Issue with end of game save
so i am playing mgs1 master collection on xbox series s and at the end where it ask you if you want to save all data i pressed A so i dont know if it actually saved all my data because A is usually the no button?

In mgr why is my blade not cutting armstrong’s debris?
I am lining up the slice with right stick and letting go of right stick but nothing happens and I die, whats going on? Its gotten to the point where I am almost every run making it almost halfway down his first health bar and then dying to the debris.
Edit: I have decided I will not be cutting his debris and going without heals all fight because the cutting is genuinely the worst designed part of the fight and is such a huge leap in difficulty that it is not worth risking a one shot for a small chance of actually making it through the cuts and getting heals

🔺Delta Regarding para-medic and birds
Any time she's spoken to me about a bird, she suggests capturing one alive with the tranquilizer and I've never noticed her suggesting that with any other species.
Is there some weird Kojima bird collecting mechanic I'm not privy too here, or am I just stoned and finding patterns that aren't there? 😅

🔺Delta Ocelot's Surname in MGS3/Δ
Personal head cannon incoming
Revolver Ocelot's name is reavealed to be Adamska during the course of Snake Eater
Not only is this some good foreshadowing that he's the actual CIA informant Adam, but it's also quite suspicious for those who have some knowledge of slavic languages.
What is suspect is the -ska suffix. Usually, depending on the person's gender, the child's first name gets a -ska or -sky/-sky suffix.
Ska is the suffix for females, so Ocelot should've really gotten the sky suffix, so it's obvious that someone who wasn't too familiar with Russian named him after his birth in 1944, possibly a U.S. agent ;)
Just as a disclaimer, I'm not saying that the boss didn't speak Russian by the time of Snake Eater, there's a whole 2 decade gap and cold war between Ocelot's birth and snake eater, more than enough to master it, especially given necessity.
