Sam, the DHV Magellan's washing machine is fucked. I'm afraid we can't move through the tar currents while our clothes are contaminated with chiraliam.

I need you to go to the nearest Woolworths and pick up some Tar Detergent, Non-Bio.

The order's in the terminal, Sam.

Sam, this is Dry-Cleanman.

We need you to deliver this load to The Laundromat.
Don't worry, you've been supplied with enough quarters to cover the cost.

Keeping our clothes clean is vital to the reunification of America, Sam. If the fabrics begin to fray,then so will our connections to each other.

Stun Grenades can knock out everyone on the current map, even from behind walls!

It turns out that in this case, they technically didn't hear the explosion so it won't count as an alert.

After using a chaff to get the PGS1 you can use a Stun to escape the room without worrying where the guard is.

The best use for it is to get to the PSG1 without needing to wait for the guard to look away.

Just watch out: whenever a guard is distracted they will always turn to Snake first, regardless of where the noise came from. Don't run up behind them too early!

MGS1 Tips: Explosives

One fact I've never seen anyone else mention is that guards can actually hear Chaff Grenades!

They will investigate the explosion without calling in an alert, making this the only way to distract a guard from a position away from Snake

The cinematography within gameplay really peaked in MGS1 imo

Lastly, you can choke a guard out 7 times to KO them.

To grab a guard without setting them off, I find it easier to position Snake at the guard's south-east or south-west facing direction rather than directly behind them.

It seems the grab range is more squarish than circular.

This is very risky though, since if Snake collides with an enemy they will alert even while blinded by a punch.

This is one of MGS1's more clunky mechanics, so for safety I recommend the kick combo over the throw, unless you're already in an Alert.

4 punches + 1 kick = 7 dmg

The fastest way to knock out a guard uses the throw.

Throws deal 5 stamina damage, meaning you only need 2 punches + 1 throw.

Great for getting out of an alert without killing anyone.

Throwing 7 punches in a row isn't very efficient. Not to mention risky given how guard vision detection works in this game.

A better idea is to combine it with the kick, which does 3 dmg. Leave a small pause so your combo looks like a 1-2, 1-2-3.

This will KO the guard while keeping a safe range.

MGS1 Tip: Knockouts

Guards have 7 points of stamina health, and a single punch does 1 point of stamina damage.

When you drain all their stamina a guard will be knocked out for a couple of seconds. It's not a very large window, so don't stick around.

What's even more interesting is that since Integral uses the ENG dub, this line had to be changed to actually use the De Gaulle quote, offering a rare instance of professional JP-ENG-JP localisation lol

JP translation uses "self-proclaimed heroes" instead of "indispensable men" 🤔
May 28, 2025 at 4:44 PM
Playing MGS1 in JP and one thing that surprised me was that Mei Ling's first proverb isn't about DeGaulle at all.

It's a Chinese quote that sounds like "rash courage when alone will become your enemy".

Not sure if I'm translating the line right, but it fits her explanation: "don't get into fights"

Went for an unconventional route here.
Thought I was definitely going to get caught 😅

Rinne mé dearmad mo chuid bhéilí a phostáil.

1. Rís cimtí (Kimchi rice) le cairéid, spionáiste, muisiriúin agus ubh.

2/3. Curaí Seapánach le prátaí, cairéid, oinniún agus mairteoil.

Bhí mé an-broidiúil as seo, rinne mé a lán codanna.

Jason Schreier's book on Blizzard mentions the development history of SC2, which was compared to making Baseball 2.0

Ironic that the improvements they thought would be easy like better pathfinding and higher selection limit are what fundamentally changed the game.
March 6, 2025 at 9:31 AM
Same with DuckDuckGo now except it's giving me fundamentally incorrect answers 😡

I have to put quotation marks around NG3 just to make sure it doesn't mangle it beyond repair
February 18, 2025 at 10:30 AM
Ah, I duckduckgo'd the date and it didn't give it to me.

Turns out the No1 on my birthday was Pirates. It's very likely I saw this on my birthday 🤔

A good set of buttons makes such a difference that I'm now trying out loads of random games I wouldn't have otherwise.

Metal Slug Advance is class, Sonic Pocket Adventure is a hidden gem and I'm even enjoying Metroid 2 which I thought was impossible.

A friend gave me this for Christmas and it's honestly such a game changer.

After struggling to get back into handhelds by hacking my 3DS the Miyoo Mini feels so much nicer to actually use. The dpad and buttons feel so much nicer and the OS lets me swap between games almost instantly.

Thug me céim nua i Death Stranding inné. Bhí an uair dheireanach a imirt mé i Mí Aibreáin, 2023 😅

100 uaireanta, ach ní chríochnaigh mé é.
