could you please specifically highlight which part of this is meant to indicate a problematic nature, instead of leaving me to either comb through this entire thing or guess what level of bad faith you might be operating at

Honestly I never ever get tired of how you depict Snake. I've never played MSX Metal Gear, most of my experience is with MGS and everything past that. But I look at this and I think "Yeah! That's my fuckin' boy right there!"

A prehistoric simbakubwa cat, one of the largest cats to ever exist. I think he was frozen and thawed out caveman style.

its super interesting. he already was denied being whole, and now he cannot even have that. he has nothing. he parallels his game. rendered non-existent, but that doesn't mean there weren't consequences to their existence and they somehow persist like an ugly scar on time and history

do all at once and succumb to crippling scope creep (don't do this)
