Didn't F-Zero predict this first?

Truly, a modern Nostradamus: Someone who throws so much crazy batshit at the walls that some of the lingering brown splotches appear to reflect reality. Like a doodoo Rorschach test.

This isn't really remarkable. If you write sci-fi regularly, you ought to be on the pulse of this sort of thing. Kojima just gets credit because he puts it in video games where the narrative and thematic depth standards are so low.

100%. You can go back and read 50+ year old sci-fi books by Arthur C Clarke, Philip K Dick, Daniel Galouye, and many others, that were able to extrapolate modern tech and soon to be modern tech from what they saw in their current eras with a much larger gap between idea and reality. Like you said, the standards when it comes to these things in games is astronomically low so when we do see it, it's surprising.

I will give Kojima props, though. I love that pretentious sonofabitch.

What's next? Mousepads that charge your mouse's battery while you use it?

Don't be ridiculous. Kojima only invented VR and cyborgs.

If he has powers like this, then he would surely survive trial by water.
