I told my friend I don’t think I’m crazy, but this feels like it could be the plot of a Metal Gear Solid game.

Would that make Trump Senator Armstrong?

No Trump is Raiden, the blonde badass killer fighting against Senator Armstrong. Plus there’s no way Trump isn’t at least .5 percent cyborg with how hard that dude works

The bottle says adderall, but they’re nanomachines to me

Hahaha it does kind of work since so many people got blindsided by Raiden becoming the player character and hated him

as far as I can remember, raiden was a massive crybaby pussy in MGS2. Not a great comparison.

remember the speech about memes, that wasn't accidental. MGS games are something more than just videogames, it almost seems as if they are messages

Fun fact: if you play to the final boss (Senator Armstrong), he actually states that we will "Make America Great Again!"

It was mainly MGS 2 is what made me think of the MGS comparison. The tone of the last boss fight has a similar tone to today, the showdown on top of Independence Hall between Raiden and Solidis is a metaphor for right now.

For me it was Brawl that introduced me to Metal Gear.

Covid reminded me of the South Park episode over two factions fighting over "my science is better than your science." With Covid, junk science unfortunately won many victories over real science.

Damnit Kojima, back at it again with these ridiculous and convoluted plots that make little sense. So, you're trying to tell me that this "Joe Biden" character announces being president but actually isn't president and "gives" pre-recorded speeches to a crowd of new Jeeps that don't belong to anyone because Jeep is run by corporatists who want to move their manufacturing to China and China is actually running Joe Biden's campaign in the background but then this "Trump" character is being accused of colluding with China and Russia???? How does that make any sense. So unrealistic, SMH Kojima

Unpacking this kinda made my head hurt, but the laugh was worth it in the end.

It does appear that convoluted.

Deus Ex is a better representation. They even released a virus on the population in order to achieve tyranny.
