re: MGSV's release date

[neverloseagain]

So you woke me up just in time for me to get some limbs cut off next month. Thanks, I appreciate it. At least you're not updating me to the part where I get assassinated in my own home.

And don't change my injury permissions to "eyes, ears, other non-extremities, and anything that wouldn't further hinder mobility". I don't need a handicap, and I'll bite my enemies to death if I have to. I won't let you write me off just yet!

Keep it away from the face, all right?

Losing limbs, huh? I'd hate to be in your boots. Can't imagine how that must feel.

[colonel_thunderbolt]

Wouldn't that be amusing? To see you biting your enemies to death. [He would do it, being the sadistic bastard that he is.]

[neverloseagain]

Maybe. But they'd still come out worse in the end.

[neverloseagain]

Yeah, I'm not too excited.

At least it sounds like I get my revenge.

[gunplay]

Well, going down the path of revenge sounds interesting. Just like in the old west. Forgiveness is useless anyway.

[Or at least the fictional old west.]

[neverloseagain]

The old west...?

[...is his concept of revenge still steeped in Japanese mythology and literature, or is this guy just weird?]

I guess, something like that. Anyway, there's no forgiving somebody for something like that.

So what's your style? Going to wipe them off the earth as soon as you can find them, or are you going to pay back every ounce of suffering dealt to you?

[neverloseagain]

Don't know. Guess I'd have to see. But I don't think I'd sink to their level, even to get back at them.

[mun's vote: probably plan to kill them in cold blood, but gets hit full force with everything he's lost and how he can never get it back if he sees these people face to face again, and so loses it completely and just starts kicking the shit out of them to the best of his ability while screaming out all his anger]

[neverloseagain]

Hey, at least I'm losing the opposite arm of you-- between us we'll have a full set.

[it's dark humor, but that's the only kind that really applies here.]

Hoping I luck out and get a robotic prosthetic, but I'm doubting that.

[gematria]

I'm familiar with the concept of "updating" for canon's sake, but what they're going to do to you... [He shakes his head.]

[neverloseagain]

Pretty grim, yeah.

Doesn't sound like many of us are fated to live happy lives.

[gematria]

I'd guess it comes with the job. [He smiles, wistful.]

If it's any consolation, the fact that you have a mun would usually mean they want, somehow, to also throw some happiness your way... despite the update. [Hal takes his glasses off and cleans them with the reverse of his cotton t-shirt.] It's not all about tragedy, you know?
