It's been interesting finding out how many people are still unspoiled on Bioshock.Natural 20 posted:An actually interesting youtube comment notes that part of the idea behind Sander Cohen is that he is actually a complete hack. The only reason he's celebrated in Rapture is because they're so starved for actual entertainment in their objectivist hell under the sea. That and Ryan likes, or liked, his work. That's also why Rapture is so Art Deco even though that style was on the way out before WW2.

Still working my way through the backlog. I'm up to episode 12, and Youtube's auto-generated subtitles thought Natural 20 said "Obama's Market" when he said "Farmer's Market".

Gothsheep posted:To be fair, given that this was written as a critique of objectivisim, that comes off as a little scarecrow-ish. Not that I support Objectivism (I actually know next to nothing about it) but Bioshock ain't exactly an impartial look at the subject matter. How does one create an impartial look at a subject whose creator wrote about how a serial killer was the embodiment of her philosophy?

Only a few episodes behind now. I can't express how overjoyed I am that Tea is taking a lot more pictures.

I'm worried about this talk about not needing to take pictures anymore. It's almost as bad as Geop not picking up heart containers in Wind Waker.

I never finished 2, but the gameplay was a lot better, I’d also recommend LPing it.

mr_stibbons posted:This game a weird relationship with Ryan. Despite all the terrible things he does it always lionizes him a bit, respecting him for his "will" and "intellectual integrity" and other bullshit. There's also the niggling notion that Atlas being secretly a self serving criminal instead of an actual champion of the people implies that everything in Rapture was just fine and dandy before the Bad Man did Bad Things. The funny thing about Fontaine is that he's a better Objectivist than Ryan because he doesn't care about creating an ideologically appropriate utopia to demonstrate the virtues of selfishness, he just wants to take power and doesn't care about property rights or the Non-Aggression Principle. And him using charity to advance his political interests is exactly what every rich person uses charity for, only instead of justifying lower tax rates and garnering favorable news coverage Fontaine was creating an army of mutant guerrillas.

Gnoman posted:I find it morbidly hilarious that you looted food items from all three of the poisoned children in that setpiece you blew up. It fits in with Tea's slug looting from the Little Sisters.

I remember a video saying that Rapture was technologically possible to build with what was available at the time but I can't track it down.Gnoman posted:Either more, or close to the same amount . You get more ADAM by harvesting but between the Big Daddy plasmid and the other stuff you unlock I don't know what it actually works out to.
