Fingernails; Meet Pliers

Remember how just yesterday I was talking about hunting frogs in MGS: Subsistence and referring to it as "fun?" I rescind my adjective.

I've spent the last sixty to ninety minutes trying to re-hit those last few frogs--to positively confirm that I nailed each of them in the motorcycle sequence and get myself that stealth armor and of course I'm arguably even worse at it on my first playthrough.

All the pre-Shagohod chase sequences were pretty easy. It's the post-Shagohod stuff that's killing me, to the point where I'm almost positive I was high when I convinced myself I hit it the first time around. I've spent the last twenty minutes trying to hit this one frog on a rock while flying over a hill and being shot at--it's absurdly Sisyphean, and it's kind of driving me insane. Part of the annoyance is that if I miss the frog, I have to reboot the system and reload from the opening screen.

So, yeah, fun? I think maybe there's another f-word I should have used instead.
