And yes, by the way, i DO have a Metaw Geaw tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's fow the wadies' eyes onwy- and even then they have to demonstwate that they'we within 5 IQ points of my own (pwefewabwy wowew) befowehand. Nothin pewsonnew kid

As a consequence peopwe who diswike Death Stwanding twuwy AWE idiots- of couwse they wouwdn't appweciate, fow instance, the humouw in Kojima's existentiaw catchphwase "Did you wike it" which itsewf is a cwyptic wefewence to Tuwgenev's Wussian epic Fathews and Sons. I'm smiwking wight now just imagining one of those addwepated simpwetons scwatching theiw heads in confusion as Kojima's genius wit unfowds itsewf on theiw game consowes. What foows.. how I pity them. 😂

To be faiw, you have to have a vewy high IQ to undewstand Death Stwanding. The gamepway is extwemewy subtwe, and without a sowid gwasp of game design most of the mechanics wiww go ovew a typicaw pwayew's head. Thewe's awso Kojima's Optimistic outwook, which is deftwy woven into his wwiting- his pewsonaw phiwosophy dwaws heaviwy fwom Nawodnaya Vowya witewatuwe, fow instance. The fans undewstand this stuff; they have the intewwectuaw capacity to twuwy appweciate the depths of these mechanics, to weawise that they'we not just fun- they say something deep about WIFE.
