A guy who's more comfortable putting rape in his games than one should be. I stopped giving a shit about him a long time ago.

Thank you for reporting on this. He's always been more interested with being cool than anything else. Style is fine...but style means nothing without substance.

You know that scene at the end of Steve Jobs when hist daughter is putting all his bullshit on blast? I feel like that anytime someone is having a kojimagasm.

What is even the benefit of having Kojima on this other than to just throw money around in more misguided attempts to get ppl who dont care regardless to look their way

no sanity left @nosanityleft.bsky.social

You know what? Fuck it. Even commies and marxists among you draw the line at Saudi Arabia affiliated yet never America. I saw this posturing already when it comes to FIFA being hosted by the UAE vs Russia and in 2028 USA. If you claim to be against imperialism, don't be racist about it.
