  • Kojima wanted out of the franchise after Solid 2 and pretty much every subsequent game since.

    Konami are asses to work for and Kojima kept pushing the envelope for what they’d let him do for every game he made with them. MGS5 was where they drew the line in terms of scope and budget (MGS4 cost like $40m to make and god knows what MGS5 would have cost by the end of it) and aside from the fact that he didn’t get to finish it, he was probably more relieved than anything to be free of them.

    At least Konami makes a decent slot/pokie machine nowadays. They give Aristocrat a run for their money.














  • I used a Hisense A5 Pro CC phone for a few months as my daily driver. For books, colour eink is okay at best but yeah, contrast sucks. It pretty much always will with the extra layers of filtering needed for each colour.

    Outside of static pages of text and images, you pretty much need to drop colour depth to pretty garish levels for a decently responsive user experience. It’s a nice idea but really isn’t very good in practice.
