How…how do you play BioShock and think “yes this is the world I want to live in”
No, you see real liberatarianism has never been tried! The markets weren’t free enough in Rapture!
idk, you think they got an Estrogen vigor down there?
Putting on a diving suit to catch glowing sea slugs so I can drink their ooze to grow Big Naturals in a dieselpunk Atlantis
12/10 posting, needs to be a tagline
they’re called plasmids in the Bazingabrain underwater utopia, vigors is what the Christian nationalists in Columbia call themyou know how the old saying goes
Under the sea, it’s plasmids for me
Up in the air, there’s vigors over there
My mom taught me that when I was 4 and then everyone clapped

“Bruh you serve in hell already, like it and want to make it even worse hell”

Never read a book before, check
Zero media literacy, check
Never had a job before and live a comfortable life, check
Its
timeThere are times where people walk away from a piece of media with a weird interpretation and are accused of “no media literacy” and it’s a bit harsh because the piece of media might be more subtle in its politics or message or whatever, but bioshock literally opens by delivering a libertarian screed and then IMMEDIATELY showing you the havoc and ruin that resulted. There’s not more than two dots to connect. It’s so on the nose. How could you walk away with a different interpretation?

How could you walk away with a different interpretation?
With a great deal of obstinance and a determination to reach the conclusion you intended to reach going in. Monolectical Idealism™.

we’re so fucked.A libertarian read two books two years ago, did you?
Can’t believe I’ve actually managed to sneak under the bar here, but yes. Yes I have.

I guess I’ll share this trophy with y’all!
I failed at reading Atlas Shrugged twice. It’s one of two books I just refuse to fucking read.
He read his first book. It was an Ayn Rand novel. He was inspired to do so by a video game he had misinterpreted.
So they completely missed the part where Rapture’s anarchism led to a civilization ruined by warring factions of organized crime

it was ruined because andrew ryan became authoritarian and started forcing people to do things by saying “would you kindly”
deleted by creator
bahaha… i imagine there’s a long winding path to escape the mind-rut they just put themselves in, especially since they don’t read much.
the guy who made the video is literally insane. And also a neo-nazi

Nothing convinced me more to not be an objectivist more than reading Ayn Rand. They are some of the worst written political screeds pretending to be theatre. Brecht is spinning in his grave.

Anthem was one of the worst most childish books I’ve ever read
I’m so glad I was too socially anxious to go get the BioShock wrist chains tattoo when I was a teenager lmao
Wow, cool Art Deco underwater city
Randian bullshitOh fuck you just reminded me that I wanted that tattoo when I was like 14
Many such cases
Also glad I never got a stupid Deathly Hallows tattoo, really dodged a bullet there lmao
Oh no
there’s something to be said about how the protagonist from Bioshock 1 is a genetic slave with no functional identity, yet completely destroys a supposedly individualist utopia
i’ve never quite figured that out, but Ken Levine is a goofball. At least he knows libertarianism is gibberish and that American nationalism is racist to its core
deleted by creator
I don’t think Levine had anything to do with 2, but Infinite’s writing sucked ass and 2 is arguably a better story than the original lmao
For some reason I thought he had something to do with We Happy Few too, but I guess that was just me mixing up sophomoric on the nose disappointments and assuming he had something to do with it

I hope their new game is more coherent. It looks decent.
