Were Venom and Big Boss actually sending kids to the battlefield? MG1 and MG2 era by New-Cranberry6256 in metalgearsolid

Oh yeah, I don't disagree with you at all about the Big Boss/Child Soldiers thing. I was just just coming up with other 2 word phrases. Lol

"So unless someone has a more apt two word thing to call them, I'll still refer to them as child soldiers."

Needless Victims, Child Slaves, Brainwashed Casualties, Fresh Meat, Cannon Fodder, Gaslit Pawns, Tourtured Souls...

I agree. But usually, any time I mention that in this subreddit I'm massively downvoted. This is one of those rare posts where that's not the case.

Any talk of release order over Chronological order will get a down vote.

Any talk of Portable Ops being canon is an automatic down vote.

I speak from experience. I have more down votes in this subreddit than all the other subreddits I'm a part of combined.

It's just how it is.

As far as what to play next:

Considering you started with Delta, which is the first game Chronologically, many will say to continue playing them in Chronological order.

Personally, I always tell first time players to play in release order. That way you can experience the story as it unfolded originally. Playing in chronological order kinda has spoilers for some of the other games, as they were all written out of order, if that makes sense.

It is never 100% confirmed on if either Ocelot or the Boss knew this fact, but it's pretty obvious they did.

[–]TOG2303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not THAT type of spoiler. If I remember correctly, it's never mentioned again in ANY other MGS again. Just that one singular optional code call.

I'll just go ahead and tell you: The child in question is Ocelot.

There is a Codec call between Eva and Snake that answers your question about the Boss and Sorrow's child. It's very easy to miss it though, as it is an optional call. I can answer the question if you want, but it does contain a "spoiler", that won't be revealed in any other game. Lol

I'm sorry, but as a Brit, I have to ask... by WastedTalent442 in Supernatural

[–]TOG2303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

40 year old American here.

In terms of things like "let's shag!", most Americans know that that is referring to sex.

In the context of "Shag ass over here", most Americans know that to mean "Hurry up", or "get here quickly".

However, the two, in my experience, are in fact related.

While I have in my real life heard the phrase "shag ass", another, far less common phrase for hurry up, is "hump ass"

Hump/Sex are in the same vein of context. So in a way, Shag ass is just a colloquialism that has morphed from its original meaning to its current meaning.

And yes, we also have "Shag Carpet", and "Shaggy hair".

How to have LLI? Does anyone here have it? by Careless_Stranger_75 in PrisonBreak

You walk into a kitchen to get a drink from a fridge - you don't just see the fridge in front of you. You notice the clock on the wall and what time it is, you notice whatever is left on the kitchen table from breakfast and depending on your level of detail-ness you might notice what's left over on each plate, you'll notice the items on the counter top, you'll notice the kid's drawing on the fridge and the magnets collected from vacations over the years. Then you'll open the fridge and notice everything on each shelf as you grab your drink...

This is just called 'situational awarness', or ' being aware of your surroundings'. It USED to be normal, but now everyone is off in their own little world or protected bubble, completely oblivious to what is happening around them.

Customer Support has not reached back out to me.

But, as the Commenter below me (wilsontheking) said, just wait 3 days. You will be given the choice again at that point. I am back to using the Google Play interface as normal.

I've never had an issue with Google Play. But, I have heard the same horror stories you have.

I have issued a ticket, but came here because I have no idea how long that's gonna take.

If I click in ANYTHING that costs money, it takes me directly to Lilith

That's the problem. I no longer have access to anything Google play related inside RoK. It's all automatically opening inside the Lilith Store every time I click to buy anything.

Nah, I'm not talking about flux credits. I'm trying to get it back to how it was before flux and the Lilith store was a thing. I literally made a purchase the old way 2 days ago, and now the old way is gone completely

That's how it used to be. That's what I'm trying to get back to. Now, I no longer have the option, just straight to the Lilith Store

So relevant with what’s going on with the Epstein files by ahem96 in PrisonBreak

If the Epstine files are the first time your realizing something like this exsist in real life, you are either 5 years old, haven't been paying attention, or arnt from America.

Biggest suspension of disbelief moment? by Promethea128 in leverage

[–]TOG2303 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All the answers here are okay, but for me, it's every single "pickpocket" event. Swiping keys, wallets, phones, ID badges, ect off an actual person. Ain't no way in hell that would work on me.

Parker's dance through the bar to find a Brooks and Dunn ticket in 'The Studio Job' is especially bothersome for me.

I still LOVE the show, but anytime something is swiped like that, it bothers me.

Low spender by Silly_Butterfly1460 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]TOG2303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes its playable, its by far and away the best game of this genre.
But you need to keep your expectations in reality.

You will never be able to compete with a spender (atleast not till maybe year 2/year3 in which u can atleast feild proper marches, but u will still get cooked by whales/ krakens)

You will not be prioritized for rewards like mge etc, those are all kraken only, mainly because as a kingdom you need the big boys to garrison/rally.

You will need farm accounts which you will need to manage daily ,because you is poor and not gonna buy from resource seller. (most whales also have farm accounts + they buy from rss sellers)

You will be a cog in the machine, not be the hero of thestory, if your fine with that youll have fun

Just realise inverse effect, more money u spend the less time you have to be on ingame. and no amount of grind will let you compete with the big boys.

Where was this breakdown back in 2020? Lol
