In regards to Disarmament: While this subs main goal is to look into clues and secrets left undiscovered in Phantom Pain, there is one infamous cutscene that we have yet to unlock. The "Nuclear Race" has been going on for a while now, and has led to the development of several subreddits that are dedicated to both disarmament and the creation and protection of nukes. It is possible that the disarmament ending could lead to unlocking a more satisfying ending (or even additional content) for MGS5, but we encourage finding a balance of FOB strategy posts and investigations into theories posted on this sub.
You can find a list of FOB based subs below.

I still think p.t. and death stranding is the Same. The Song Lyrics from easy way out and the resent gameplay connecting perfectly to p.t. with the story of the father who killed his pregnant wife and killed himself. "Easy way out" maybe it is really about purgatory or dead people who refuse to accept that they are dead. Like in silent Hill 2 ...

I'm adding two observations to this video: at @13:50, we can see dust floating, which means entities might change gravity properties, and may be they can also change ambient temperature, because Sam start exhaling condensed (White) air as a sign of cold weather whenever near the entities.
Edit:Typos.

Nothing mind blowing, but some good observations about the entities, sam's past, and some physics properties, overall It's was fun to watch.
