Listen it I see a 6’5" girl with long beautiful hair and broad shoulders I’m going for it

Completely agreed. Rapture WOULD AND SHOULD have collapsed under the weight of it’s own misguided ideals, that was kind of the entire point of the first game. It just really undermines that message fundamentally when instead

I do also agree that, given the contradictions between 2 and infinite, we as players get to decide what the prime canon is. It’s kind of damaging to anything that might show up moving forward though unless a brave writer comes forward going “okay sure but fuck that, it didn’t happen”

Absolutely agreed on the “wouldn’t it be cool if…” But not thinking out style of design. That’s not terrible, but it’s better suited for something completely over the top like 40k, rather than a more grounded setting like bioshock. And yeah, they really did just nail the worst version of multiversal story, in the general sense.

We’re celebrating this victory!

Oh yeah also

There’s a lot more, it decanonizes Bioshock 2 while being internally inconsistent with it’s own story telling in the same spaces, and the Daisy Fitzroy plotline doesn’t really make sense, in a way that cheapens that, as well.

To quote a Minnesotan I know, talking about chili: “I’m going to add some mayo, to give it some zing”

Luckily the twin cities are sanctuary cities and you can get people who aren’t whiter than rice to make food here

Sex slaves human trafficked from Russia, land of a dictator he openly praises. I did a longer writeup elsewhere in this thread, but most of the details come from the Behind the Bastards podcast episode on him

Alright let’s see what I can remember! Most of this is pulled from the Behind the Bastards podcast episode on him (great podcast about terrible people) and the rest is supplemented from wikipedia to refresh my memory.

It’s worth noting that, possibly due to Seagal’s mob ties, a lot of folks who have come to court with credible accusations have subsequently mysteriously withdrawn their accusations or otherwise failed to finalize their court cases.

First off, bro wants to fuck any woman he thinks he can lay hands on and has had consistent credible sexual assault accusations against him his entire career. Particularly noteworthy is that he worked REALLY HARD to try and get Ray Charles’ granddaughter alone in a room with him during an impromptu casting event at his home after meeting her at Ray’s funeral. Her dad, Ray jr, tagged along and prevented this initially, but she was hired as his assistant, and walked on day one after he explained what kind of “massages” he expected. This habit of sexual assault also applies to minors, to whom he has bragged, in adult life, to that it’s fine, because he has girlfriends their age (bro lies about anything and everything he thinks will make him sound good and cool though, so make of this what you will, on multiple levels)

His time as a cop was actually aired as a tv show: Steven Seagal: Lawman. As stated, he drove an army surplus tank through a home. He actually SHOT the 11 month old puppy afterwards, separately from the tank thing, in the same event.

As stated, he got his start through mob ties and, around the turn of the millenium, when he walked out of a mob funded film deal, was sued and threatened by a crime family over it. He subsequently narc’d on them and some arrests were made following his testimony on RICO act charges. Seagal would subsequently settle out of court. Everything I’ve heard about the man makes him sound like a cowardly bitch, so I’m assuming they bled him for millions.

He has a long record of deliberately hitting stunt performers during fight scenes, because of course he does. There is one story of him claiming, baselessly, that thanks to his aikido training he was immune to being choked out (???), so a stuntman indulged him in a bet and subsequently choked him out. I’ve heard a number of similarly amusing anecdotes about the man one might call instant karma on a variety of obviously bullshit lies, many of them involving stolen valor. The dude LOVES to pretend he was black ops, navy seal, whatever sounds good at the time (imagine why he started a film company to keep making movies about him actually being these things into his late age. Dude is a massive LARPer)

Dude owned two human trafficked Russian women for some time, keeping them as sex slaves. Iirc, this occurred during the time he was filming being a cop (it may have been before, one way or another, the accusations didn’t keep him off the force)

Speaking of Russia, dude is a huge fan of Putin (wild how the best people somehow consistently become friends with dictators) and has described him as “one of the great living world leaders” and endorsed invasions of Ukraine. He’s also cozied up to Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines and Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela

That’s all I can think of at the moment, but it’s been a good use of waking up in the middle of the night wide awake. There’s probably more I’m forgetting, though

I mean, he did have a stint as a cop, during which time he killed some dogs with a tank

We’re gonna point out that Seagal is fat, lazy, and pathetic, but not his history of owning human slaves, killing dogs with a tank during his time as a cop, or mafia ties?

He promises a subsequent Bioshock 2 review, but I really hope he makes it to the Infinite DLC. Without spoiling anything, that dlc fully undermines the entire message of Bioshock 1 and leaves Andrew Ryan 100% correct and justified in all of his actions.

Yeah this is a wild comment to downvote given how direct Microsofts support of the Israeli genocide has been. They’ve literally been the ones enabling the surveillance that identifies targets

Listen if your flight is delayed 5 hours you’re gonna take anything you can get

Okay but, and hear me out: what if we threaten Republicans with letting Obama run against him if he does? They’ll be SO SPOOKED

Which is why Hillary’s team gave him active support in winning the Republican primary before stealing the Democratic one

A lot of folks have watched the show and come to the conclusion that it’s an endorsement of their lifestyles which they view as similar to Rick at the start of the series, plus the extremely toxic behavior that comes along with the impression that you’re better than everyone and your intelligence justifies any behavior you are criticized for

Ah yes, Space Station Silicon Valley, published by take 2 (now known as the gta publisher and not much else) and one of very few (maybe the only) games for N64 that don’t work with the expansion pack. If you have the extra ram, it just won’t run at all

Yeah you have to cook chicken everywhere, people wash the raw chicken in the US because of the chemicals the meat has been soaked in

It’s not, but only because doing so causes even more problems, even though there’s reason to do it

That’s not goth. That’s y’allternative
