they figured they should “return to the roots” of the first one with Infinite by having a hamfisted over the top leftoid version of what conservatives think instead of it being about Fatherhood and whatnot.
To be fair, floating extremely pretty sky cities where you can say nigger and exercise your right to not let niggers, irish, germans, or viking rapebabies (british) into your store is basically paradise.
 
That’s the one I (and many others from what I’ve gathered over the years) didn’t play.
You should. It's basically an improvement over the previous entry in every way. Better story, better combat, melee isn't a fucking afterthought. Only issue is the Remaster is about as stable as KF's servers, so make sure you save often.

What’re the people of rapture descended from if the Irish, Germans and English are so bad?
Nah, living in a quasi-futuristic version of a Steam Powered Giraffe album isn’t my cup of tea.

I think I have the Remaster Collection on PS4. That includes all three from what I remember.
 
Gonna be honest, never cared for Bioshock’s themes. It’s clearly a leftoid slant especially the 3rd game.
But look at both Rapture and Columbia…One is an over exaggeration of Libertarianism and the other is what leftoids think Conservatives believe but in reality is even more batshit insane than the first game.
Wait, so do some libs actually think an advanced Libertarian society would eventually collapse due to super meth (what ADAM addiction clearly alluded to) use?

Like, of all the flaws in Libertarianism, you'd think legal drug use would be the ones libs are cool with? 🤔 They already don't care about homeless drug addicts running rampant like ADAM abusers in liberal cities.

Console should be fine. PC is totally fuck, though. Only game I've played in the last several years that actaully CTD on me.
The most important thing to remember: don't get cocky. Trump is on top of the world now but MAGA is not yet completely forged into an unshakable edifice. It's a long time until 2028 and anything could happen between now and then.
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

There's a big difference between the two. Leftists pump their drug zombies full of Narcan so they can wake up and do it again every day for 25 years. Libertarian drug zombies only get to overdose once.

Narcan is seriously a problem. Most major metro fire departments revive junkies more than they put out fires.

That’s my entire point. The Bioschlock developers don’t actually know anything about Libertarianism or Conservatism…Just their warped leftoid versions.
PC is totally fuck, though
Part of the reason I’m hoping the rumors about the next Xbox having Steam is to avoid shit like this. I know PC is the better platform because of Steam and Mods and whatnot but the troubleshooting crap you have to go through to get games to work sounds like a nightmare.
The idea of having one of PC’s biggest assets while having the ease of use of console sounds like my perfect machine.
That's accurate though.

Something else I noticed:


I would think everybody would fail this as the proctor would be facing YOU when he grades it. Unless there's a compass guide for the test, which I doubt.
It doesn't matter because the drawing it's having you make has rotational symmetry at 180 degrees. A NE-SW line is a SW-NE line, it looks the same from the other side of the table.
(To make this not a complete derail, the sheer amount of discussion the topic generated is proof that the Department of Education is failing and Trump is probably right to shutter it.)

Yeah, the reason why a hellish city full of crazy nigger splicers hasn't been made into a BioShock game yet is because it would just be chicago.
I would totally play BioShock nigfinite though.

I never even liked to consider Bioshock Infinite as part of the same series, it doesn't seem like a Bioshock game at all and I think it's a stretch to give it that title. It's one of the most overrated games ever too, I finally got around to giving it an honest try not too long ago and I thought the whole thing was cringe for the same reasons you said. Bioshock 1 remains the best in the series imo.

Like the Hall of The Order of Ravens or whatever it’s called where they have a painting of Lincoln as this giant lumbering demon and other where he’s shown with devil horns and John Wilkes Booth is shown as an angelic savior. Also, the whole section of the place dedicated as a shrine to Booth complete with a statue.
It‘s not hiding the developers’ views in any way/shape/ or form.
A major theme of all of the Bioshock games is political extremism and people going to ridiculous lengths to establish what they see as utopia. Ryan felt that everyone's contributions to the economy would make them a link in a "great chain" that would uphold everyone by making them act in their own self interest, and it made his citizens eat each other. Ryan even broke his own principle when he decided to go after Fontaine and Lamb despite them playing by the rules of his game. Lamb thought that collectivism was the only way forward and that the only way humanity could survive is if they turned into self-sacrificial zombies; you see this with Alex the Great when you go into his lab and he's turned himself into a weird ADAM monster in his quest to become "the first utopian." Ryan and Lamb think that their vision of utopia is so great that people need to be literally forced into it. Same with Comstock, actually, but the theme of being "caged in" is moreso played for Elizabeth and Booker than the general populace.

Comstock thinks that the only way forward is essentially extreme American exceptionalism; his entire city is built off of an idealized version of 1800s America. He's essentially a cult leader in the way that he claims to be able to communicate with an angel of God and uses that justification to do whatever the hell he wants, including oppression of people he doesn't like and justifying turning people he doesn't like into niggercattle slave laborers. If that was all there was to it I'd say I would agree that it's overblown, but the black commie revolutionist group Vox Populi--who, in a modern game, would be depicted as the unequivocal heroes of the setting--are treated as just as bad if not worse than Comstock. Elizabeth even murders their sassy black woman leader after she threatens to kill a white child.

The game is obviously poking fun at American exceptionalism, anti-black racism, etc. but I feel like there's more to it than that. It's showing you two extremes and depicting them as two ends of the same horseshoe. Both Comstock and the Vox Populi are radicalists who enforce their vision of utopia via excessive violence and cruelty, like how Ryan and Lamb did. You can have a society built off of libertarian ideals, or collectivist thinking, or American exceptionalism, but those grand ideas inevitably lead to corruption because their progenitors think they can do no wrong and the solution to any issues is "if I apply more force, surely this will all go away."

You should. It's basically an improvement over the previous entry in every way. Better story, better combat, melee isn't a fucking afterthought. Only issue is the Remaster is about as stable as KF's servers, so make sure you save often.
Excuse me, wrench only BS1 is fucking hysterical. You turn into an insane cokehead who runs at mach speed and beats people to death with a wrench for pocket change. You're so geeked up on fent and meth that bullets bounce off of you like you're Iron Man.
 
Goddamn, they're really trying to make fetch a thing with this Signal chat group situation.
They have literally nothing else and are desperate, very very desperate, to disrupt the Trump admin to buy them some time to reorganize their slush funds and refund the propaganda systems. Bonus if they could take some scalps from his cabinet over it -- remember, one of their tactics in 2016 was making damned sure Trump couldn't get anyone other than Uniparty moles to work with him because anyone else would be unpersoned forever. Hell they even disbarred his lawyers for defending him a few times.

Remember the professor in Berkely that literally walked up to some guy kneeling holding up Pepsis begging Antifa goons to stop being violent? Two fat fucking dykes blocked the way, looked "intentionally inconspicuous" and he darted between them, bashed him in the head, and then dashed into the crowd to vanish into the black bloc. The "Bike Lock Bandit." They found him on film having done it 7 other times. Remembering that using a club to hit someone in the head, even an improved club like a bike lock or skateboard is assault with a lethal weapon and intent to kill... but the judge just let him go because everyone knows you don't punish Marxists during the revolution.

Yeah, turns out he set a precedent. They need to find this chink tranny and shove him in federal pound him in the ass prison, and not the female prison he dreams of.
