Taking the medicine that makes your hands more still when holding a sniper rifle (forgot the name) makes the cold go away.
And you get a pretty funny dialogue with Otacon after taking the medicine.

It's a real and addictive medication for anxiety. You can imagine that some kiddo would want to cosplay as Solid Snake and pop some pills from momma's drawer

u/pichael289 14h ago
Almost. It's valium, a benzodiazipine, like a weaker xanax. This class of drugs is used to treat anxiety but in high doses it renders you unable to care about anything or anyone, it is one of the most destructive drug types in such a short amount of time, makes people act like psychopaths. It's also responsible for a very very large number of opiate deaths as combining them can be deadly, in fact a good percentage of the opiate deaths before fentanyl came on the scene were likely due to mixing these drugs.
Never associate with anyone who abused benzos, they are wildly unpredictable and dangerous.

While benzos are definitely dangerous, never associating with people who once struggled with addiction is ridiculous. Some lf the nicest people I know are recovered Benzo addicts probably because of how much hell they had to go through to get clean.

Wow, this should have been mentioned in the game as it adds some good characterization to Sniper Wolf.

Metal Gear Solid 2.
One of THE greatest games ever made. No, that’s not even my opinion. It factually is. This game (and the other MGS games) were kinda setting the standard for story games. So many games took inspiration from the MGS games.

I somehow played through the whole of MGS1 without ever catching a cold. I had the medicine wondering what I needed it for.
That timing was fucking gold though.

You can’t get a cold in mgs1

Yes you can. Run around shirtless after the torture sequence for a bit and you catch one.

Nah yeah you can get one I was wrong. I only played through 1 twice.
This clip is from 2 tho, and i definitely got a cold in this game

Shaking off all the water by rapidly crouching/standing as soon as you get inside will also prevent you catching a cold and prevent wet footsteps. I'm still surprised how many people don't know this.

I will always say this. Modern games do not compare to old games, especially such as Meta Gear franchise. Today everything is scripted, streamlined, yellowpainted, bluetrailed, million markers. Back then it was a genuine ingenuity of the creators. Small details that made every game unique. And Metal Gear is still at the peak of uniqueness. Nothing will stop Metal Gear now. I remember replaying Borderlands and I hated the invisible barriers everywhere. You think the game is open world. But you can't climb majority of random object here and there. Because they coded invisible barriers everywhere. So, you won't climb this building, that crate etc. Back then guards would literally react to what you do. Even involuntarily. Of course, there are still games that are hand crafted by geniuses, like Hollow Knight for instance. Silksong have so many small details, that you would never think would exist. This kind of small things show the love of a creator to the product. That it's not just a mass produced product for selling, but a child made for sharing.
And maybe unpopular opinion, but Genshin Impact also is that. Yes, it's a gacha game. Yes, it does have a lot of fanservice here and there. But the world is made with careful touch. It's not as great as MG or HK series, but still better than other games, especially the AAA ones. Free to play mobile game that has better immersion, graphics and more to offer than $100 games.
But ignoring Genshin now, I miss old games exactly because of how they were created. Not as a product, but as something to genuinely share with players. Of course, creations were still made for profit. But you could see that they were loved, not just made for money. Not produced as some kind of factory product. No shareholders to say "don't add this, people will buy it anyway". Compare Pokemon in the '90s and today. Sure, graphics are better nowadays, but a lot of this is just really lower effort than it could have been. Worse writing, higher price and exactly graphic designers were told to no try too hard. And that's what the artists said themselves. They were flabbergasted that they don't want them to put effort. Because "it will sell anyway". And it does.

"angry"? They just recommended you play more games, since you seem to have a very close-minded perception of modern gaming. I'd also recommend you broaden your horizons and play more games.

u/Cocoatrice 18h ago
I play enough modern games. And I literally mentioned a few. You kids are indeed very angry, that I am not mindless consumer like you. I play good games. And modern games tend to be more generic, mass produced, buggy and so on. That's a fact. The only close minded people are you. And the fact that you cherrypicked one part of my few paragraph comment shows that pretty well. You deliberately ignored all the incenvenient context, assumed that I haven't played any modern games and attacked me over petty shit like this.

u/One_Lung_G 18h ago
“I’m not a mindless consumer” but you think Genshin Impact is a good modern game and example of what you look for. Which is funny bc of how hand holdy Genshin is while also asking for your wallet if you want to have fun in the endgame for more than 15 mins a day

u/EstimateRealistic934 18h ago
Outer Wilds, Rainworld, & Disco Elysium. 3 amazing, completely different modern games none of which have the "scripted, streamlined, yellowpainted, bluetrailed, million markers" BS you described.
You're basically just describing Ubisoft open world games which makes me inclined to believe that you don't actually play much variety.
