Yes, the Solid Snake method.
cut into a film reel of developers sitting in front of computers coding
You see, in 1998 Konami both developed and published an action-adventure stealth game, starring a returning hero, code-named Solid Snake. His usual way of conversation evolved around a normative active listening technique very popular in Japan.
cut into more film reel of cherry blossom trees
This eventually was turned into a meme on the internet.
film reel ends, Hexbear is in front of you again
There should be some Shinkawa art along with the stock footage
...Hex Bear? Like the animal?
Yes Snake. Your contact in Pakistan. Named after a radical communist resistance group in Karachi. It got destroyed after repeated ideological struggle sessions involving cats, but it's exceptional meme skills still inspire the common people to this day
..."Big Chungus"?
Didn't you ever watch old cartoons Snake? Big Chungus is the name of a single panel of a 1940s bugs bunny cartoon. It was turned into an internet meme a year or so after you destroyed the Patriots AI thing in that really fucking confusing couple of weeks where we met Drebin. So they arent even to blame for it.
I can hear this comment. Like I can hear the cut into the film reel, I know exactly what it looks like and sounds like, I hear it in Liquid Snake's voice. Thank you.
I'm glad you like it!
kinda ran out of steam at the end but I was trying to go for the authentic MGS1 cutscene experience
sorry i still don't understand what the method is
it's a method of continuing a conversation by asking the end of the other person's sentence as a question. for example:
them: i like this cake, it tastes like my childhood
you: your childhood?
or
them: i went on a hike in a national park
you: a national park?
As a question?
Snake tends to just repeat the last part of someone's sentence in a question inflection. Prompts them to keep talking and makes you look more engaged with them. Goofy as hell with his 2000s Game Protagonist voice but it works pretty good
2000s Game Protagonist voice?
So, you just walk up to people having a conversation and listen as if you were a part of it? Is it expected that they address you at some point? If they do, should you reply or just keep staring?
