Can you actually find Kojima on mother base?

Is there a nice (and accurate) list somewhere of the knockout/incapacitation times for various weapons/techniques?
Even when looking at letters and words? Because that was frustrating as hell.

It really is crazy how many solutions there are. For me
it rained and he disappeared lol
Someone timed it here. I think the numbers were something like
stun- 1.5m
tranq- 7m
Choke- 18m
Seems about right, could test the others for us :3
One min
This game is amazing
Yea there are also
those blue water containers or wtvr underneath the big shed area which you can blow up with C4 when he is walking near them. Or of course the easiest thing to do is have Quiet piss him off with tranq darts while you escape 
He starts shooting fireballs at her like crazy until she moves to a new location lol. Its just enough time to call the chopper.

Makes any mission without a boss and without an enemy alert instant failure state pretty much a cakewalk. Stick her in a good spot, tell her to cover you and then just watch the screen fill up with blue zzz.
Another funny thing to do is park her within sight of an enemy mortar and tell her to cover you. Every enemy within range will eventually try to get to that mortar to smoke her out and she'll leave all of them in a slumber pile right by the mortar for you to pick and choose the ones you want to fulton and the ones you want to shoot in the head to save a bit of menu fumbling later on.
Can confirm. If they only made it run kind of better, blame my 980 overcoming any hiccup. (It did lag on it badly previously though, sooo)
Amazing.

I have to admit, this is my absolute favorite way it could have played out.
It would have been better if
squirting him with the water pistol actually worked. It was the very first thing I tried when radio support told me to "remember Cypress". I did love that the game at least acknowledged that I tried it.
Yep, we both tried it. The game laughs at you ;-;

Cutscene right before chapter 2
Holy shit at all the spoilers for chapter 2, I wanted to turn my head away but I just couldn't. What was even the point of that.

Is there a way to get yourself clean other than going back to MB to shower? Like can I crawl through a river? Or just stand in the rain?
kojima playing with episodic model i guess
wasn't that spoilery... or rather, about as spoilery as a teaser trailer for a tv series.
okay it's a bit spoilery

I thought I posted in this thread and completely forgot for a second there
Man, this game is too good. I've been constantly talking to a friend while we both play, and it's been awesome to see the differences in how we have been doing things.
The only thing that really bugs me so far is the save system, I always feel like I'm gonna lose progress if I just exit the game right when I want to, so I have to go do something to force the auto save, and even then I still feel like I'm gonna lose some progress lol.
Mission 20 spoilers: If you
squirt him enough times with it (around 50, I think), it actually will incapacitate him for around thirty seconds.

....Supply drop?
Yup. As stated above you can get supply drops. Also
Quiet automatically calls in ammo drops for you.

I'm taking my sweet ass time on this game and not even actively trying to. Just finished mission 6, and it was the best yet...and there is so much to go. Been a long time since a game made me think about playing it when I'm busy doing other things.

I really wish you could have more load out flexibility
Maybe I wanna use an SMG as a primary and a shotgun as a secondary?
Maybe I want no primary at all?

I've been wondering about this as well.
Shower is the only thing I do in the mother base.

In your loadout config you can change what clothing you're wearing and it will wash you up.
But I'm pretty sure there are actual benefits to showering, I heard it improves reflex time and lowers the chances of enemies detecting you when sneaking up on them real close.

I think it's by design. Peacewalker was the same way, you had to do a bunch of random sideops to progress and then a bunch of capture missions over and over. It's odd but intentional I believe
(I am still working on Chapter 2 but haven't finished it yet)
Remember MGS2 arguably has intentional flaws to make parallels to MGS1
So mission 28
are the skulls supposed to be hard? I just snuck by them all >_>

A Hideo Kojima game, ladies and gentlemen.
The attention to detail never ceases to amaze!

Is there any harm in having all your base units filled? I've got a billion E ranks sitting in my waiting room, should I dismiss them or is it okay to just leave them there?
No harm unless you hate clutter.
You do hit a limit. I don't know if it dismisses who you recruited or who's the worst in your waiting list. I got it once with a dismiss notice but it didn't say who.
I'm at 83% on Side Ops. I've cleared all the fun ones. Now it's just armoured vehicles, tanks, and
skulls

Nope. Just do side ops and keep visiting mother base every once in a while.
