00:00:13.520 bioshock and going through the game's criticisms of objectivist capitalism and how those are not

00:00:20.100 critiques of conservatism exactly so if you guys don't know us i'm classically abby and this is my

00:00:26.460 husband jacob roth i run a channel where we talk about commentary lifestyle beauty fashion and

00:00:32.580 opera all from a conservative and classic perspective and i'm a staff attorney for

00:00:37.020 young america's foundation where we help do educational programming for college students

00:00:46.940 yeah let's start playing so just as a reminder for those who have seen it and those who have not

00:00:53.180 watched before uh i'm terrible at video games so i am not going to be playing this well but i will

00:00:59.720 be playing it my husband is much better so if i ever throw the controllers at him that's why

00:01:04.960 because i'm not good at this so to that end why don't you start us off am i starting okay

00:01:09.760 jacob world traveler says you look like you're from texas right now aka free america

00:01:14.880 yeah if only i were i am instead from strong iowa new york i would say represent but it's with no pride

00:01:22.720 that i say that and uh we'll be talking to you guys over on my youtube channel and on the yaf

00:01:29.900 twitch stream so feel free to ask us questions because that is a really good way for us to

00:01:35.420 communicate with you all and actually be able to participate in the comment section so uh let's get

00:01:41.900 into this do we just start yeah yeah okay let's go so some background we did the first chapter level

00:01:49.880 of the game last week which was your intro to this world this undersea city which has fallen

00:01:54.620 into civil war and decay we're now on the second level we're going to learn about some of the

00:01:58.240 origins of the conflict that led to the city falling apart and uh has themes of foreign policy

00:02:04.660 borders culture and organized crime exactly

00:02:10.340 and uh one of the cool things about this game is music and the setting and even though this

00:02:18.000 water effects yeah even though this game is quite old um it really holds up which is fun um so we're

00:02:25.800 gonna be walking through here and there is a lot of violence so just uh let the creepy woman have 1.00

00:02:31.480 her moment of poetry do you want to immediately take on this big daddy i mean i'm not good at that

00:02:38.500 but i can try uh do you want to do it no by all means go ahead um so do you want to explain what a

00:02:45.920 big daddy is for those people who haven't watched before uh only in brief uh so background in the game

00:02:52.400 oh god there's genetic manipulation in this setting but it's with a limited resource called adam city

00:02:58.180 fell and so these big guys protect the little girls who help recycle that material and keep the

00:03:04.000 economy of it going they are meant to be boss enemies we are playing on easy mode and abigail is

00:03:10.000 trying to defeat this monster man you need to do this i can't do this i'm not doing fine

00:03:15.860 yeah so uh i'm good at killing slicers because they're like two hits and you're done uh the big

00:03:26.060 daddies i have yet to conquer on my own so i'm also gonna hop over into the comments and see what

00:03:32.160 people are talking about

00:03:33.780 well thank you guys i really appreciate that jacob's got not water but beer and i will be

00:03:49.140 drinking water from my water bottle so jacob knows that's how you stay hydrated

00:03:52.680 for those of you wondering the person on the side of the camera that you can't see that's kyle

00:03:59.660 he works at yaf and he will be waving for you right there and he is running tonight's stream so thank

00:04:05.660 you very much to kyle and you did have uh sleep deprived ostrich asked uh did your parents influence

00:04:12.320 your political views for both of you do you want to start with that one or shall i uh why don't you

00:04:17.240 uh but before that so conceded the game as i said before the bio economy of this setting everyone has

00:04:25.140 this genetic manipulation stuff gets superpowers and to add to the creepy atmosphere of this pseudo

00:04:30.360 horror game of course the people who recycle that stuff from corpses because of course are uh

00:04:36.540 mutated little girls and you have the option of harvesting the material from them or rescuing 0.84

00:04:41.420 them we will only ever rescue them because hashtag pro-life and then also from a game story

00:04:48.580 perspective and even a mechanical perspective is only upside and positive

00:04:52.840 i think jc penny we're only the true elite patriots will stop of course

00:05:06.780 um so as far as the first question that other question yes and in a good way in the sense that

00:05:13.900 my parents were conservative my dad especially um and we talked about politics all of the time

00:05:20.000 growing up i literally walked into the world after having living at home having lived at home

00:05:25.660 thinking that everyone talked about politics 75 of the time so i definitely had that and then of course

00:05:32.080 i when i did leave home and i was faced with you know more contrasting views uh i researched and made

00:05:40.900 sure that i understood those views and didn't just take them from my parents i wasn't just kind of

00:05:45.420 mimicking what they were saying i wanted to understand what i believed and thank goodness what they

00:05:49.860 taught me also stood up to that research so that's my story what about you uh for my household

00:05:58.020 growing up my parents have always been i'd say the kind of conservative libertarian not a religious

00:06:06.720 household growing up in fact quite secular but a lot of what you call like the bourgeois values yeah

00:06:11.720 a lot of the bourgeois values that you associate with like people who've been professionals have

00:06:17.120 worked their way up and have that dedication to hard work not a lot of uh you know temptation or

00:06:23.140 vices or things like that finding dignity in a career you have your family you have a house you

00:06:28.220 have a mortgage and just leave you live that nice life and so that was what i was raised with but there

00:06:33.820 was no religious backing under guarding that i'm the first one in my family to take a more religious

00:06:38.560 bent uh my parents are extremely understanding of that it's just that coming from the baby boomer 0.99

00:06:43.060 generation they're a part of that swing away from tradition even if there was a sentimental

00:06:47.740 attraction to a lot of like little lifestyle habits surrounding it so yeah i would be a libertarian

00:06:52.920 if i only followed in the mode of my parents on my own i came to being conservative

00:06:56.820 so yeah you're looking for an invite to the fisheries nuts i say but if in your heads up to the warp master's

00:07:06.960 office and find old peach research camera maybe i could manage an invite okay what was that

00:07:16.400 uh-oh sorry there's a swear word there but i mean it comes with the territory they know what

00:07:24.580 they're in for true enough have fun have a go oh god hit b did i oh god b there you go get her 1.00

00:07:32.260 did i get her she's so strong why usually i'm good at these ones where'd she go i don't know yeah 0.99

00:07:40.900 she's throwing uh heated butcher's hooks at you should i move probably where is she right there 1.00

00:07:48.640 no she's she's thrown away or crawled away as it were that was he he knows that one's too tough for

00:07:56.500 me he knows go get the research camera you're gonna be uh an influencer now turn around oh i have to

00:08:05.220 find it but you can take a grenade launcher where's that oh right in front of me yeah okay i'll pick

00:08:11.320 that up but i don't want it i want my wrench how do i get up here you jump you walk up that fallen

00:08:25.500 beam oh you're right yep traipse up it oh there you go yeah i'm glad that conor mcgregor is our spirit 0.96

00:08:40.980 guide here love it yeah so let's see what we're gonna do should i kill this guy probably 0.87

00:08:51.000 solid oh god traveler is a yaf patriot and for that we thank you 0.98

00:08:57.380 get her get her get her got him 0.96

00:09:01.860 okay so be real methodical with it pick every corpse clean we don't let anything go to waste

00:09:10.940 here in this game yeah yeah in this economy so i can also pick up this box under this person it's

00:09:17.180 shining uh no i think it's already empty yeah okay so can you add what other questions are there

00:09:25.860 sure let me see one in particular uh one says what do the two of you make of the new idea of people

00:09:33.840 opting out of marriage in light of the statistics on divorce and i'll say that uh you spend time on

00:09:39.600 the internet you hear doom and gloom from people about the idea of the american family as far as it

00:09:44.860 pertains to them and you know i watched scrubs growing up and one line that stuck with me is

00:09:50.320 when uh dr cox says to jd that statistics are meaningless for the individual you will always be

00:09:56.660 your most significant little sample size it always gets much more specific so if you have the right

00:10:01.780 values you get your head on right you develop yourself where you should and you put yourself in

00:10:06.620 position to find someone with those shared values you're gonna be fine you still should be

00:10:12.040 pursuing marriage it's the people who are not doing that that set themselves up for failure now

00:10:16.820 as a country we can have a conversation about trying to fix that and help people not be set up for

00:10:21.680 failure but as an individual everyone else's actions don't affect you here you can still have a happy

00:10:27.820 marriage and pursue it and if you're not in a position to do that spend the time self-developed it

00:10:32.140 is literally the most important thing in your life well and what i always say is that marriage

00:10:35.820 marriage works when both people recognize that love is a choice yeah and i think that's the

00:10:40.840 biggest problem in just modern love is the idea that you don't get to choose who you love or that

00:10:48.360 you can fall out of love and marriage is about recognizing that you're choosing one another

00:10:54.340 every single day even the days where it's hard yeah and it's always worth it at the end so that's

00:11:00.860 something jacob and i and something i've always i'm just going to pause for a second something that

00:11:04.780 i've always appreciated and and loved about our marriage is that and the reason we knew we would want

00:11:09.760 to marry each other was that i knew and trusted that jacob felt the same way that i did about that

00:11:14.820 that it was always going to be something that we fought for and it was never even really on the

00:11:19.800 table for us that divorce would be enough oh yeah so yeah it's not something that you have to look at

00:11:25.320 like oh it's it's going to be easy marriage isn't always easy but it is always worth it

00:11:29.780 oh we love it we love virginia i actually never in my life expected to live in virginia um i just

00:11:50.520 didn't think that was on the table and then when i met jacob and he was at uva law we uh we lived

00:11:56.820 there we went i moved there to be with him in his last year did you take out a big daddy on your own

00:12:01.060 yeah i did it there you go and that's why they were so proud of me because i did it on my own

00:12:06.640 um and then of course jacob working at yap is like huge it's amazing it's awesome we're so happy

00:12:12.600 to be here okay i'm gonna look at my comments while you are you ready

00:12:17.340 someone says this is literally the best game ever made it's a pretty good game

00:12:28.240 it's a pretty good game where's the multiplayer to destroy your friends and

00:12:32.760 audio log somebody to watch once he was just a menace to be convicted and hung but he always

00:12:43.200 manages to be where the evidence isn't he's the most dangerous type of hoodlum the kind with vision

00:12:51.340 uh do you mind if i ask kyle if people can hear us

00:12:57.060 yeah just let us know in the comments if the sound balance is okay with the game

00:13:03.140 um people are asking my adril astrological sign oh no no i take a very hard line against this

00:13:13.280 we do not give in to the temptations and flattery of pagan star matches i absolutely 0.93

00:13:21.660 cannot stand zodiological signs it's garbage and it's not worth your time no uh okay they get you 0.97

00:13:30.520 the pagans a couple people said that they can hear us so that's good someone else had a good 0.97

00:13:35.720 question not a it's a question i thought you would be interested in answer would you rather live in

00:13:41.260 rapture with no rules and regulation or communist russia with no choice oh well let's let's let's ask 0.85

00:13:48.900 yourselves rapture before the like civil war downfall chicanery or rapture right now where it's uh 0.70

00:13:58.500 civil war hell pit filled with brainwashed mutants 1.00

00:14:01.800 it's irrelevant it's a relevant clarification 0.95

00:14:06.600 okay

00:14:15.900 okay shall i

00:14:29.500 shall i run around let me just i was gonna say you should do the hack these scare me

00:14:35.340 scare you well not like as in the rest of the game is scary but i'm uh not fast enough to do any of this

00:14:44.920 well

00:14:45.200 well is it okay

00:14:52.440 pandemic or world war

00:14:55.860 well let's see this pandemic or a world war because this pandemic i would take over a world war

00:15:02.780 yeah a spanish flu uh i don't know uh the worst thing is when you get both back to back

00:15:10.200 right that's also terrible

00:15:13.240 i mean we can't really say because we don't live through a world war nor have we lived through a

00:15:21.240 pandemic

00:15:21.640 i mean what you think you think spanish flu you think literally like 50 million people dying

00:15:29.520 worldwide in a population that was drastically smaller than this right right like i mean we've

00:15:34.900 lived through a version of a pandemic in the sense that we've there we've been locked down

00:15:39.160 quarantines and like that yeah that's one thing but quarantine with the unbelievable threat of

00:15:44.680 death to everyone across the population that rhyme or reason and you know like that movie um

00:15:50.600 contagion and what it right that's a very different sense of things than this

00:15:58.120 okay so we are gonna get our research camera okay huzzah oh wait oh we couldn't pick up the

00:16:04.440 we have too much ammunition yeah we're just so good at it well you know we use a renewal

00:16:09.080 resource it's a wrench uh cadence taylor asked abby have you ever thought about dying your hair

00:16:19.000 blonde or another color so i've gone many different colors with my hair not unnatural ones um not a fan

00:16:27.320 jacob does not like it i don't like it when your hair is wise although i do have highlights

00:16:33.080 now he like those nice but what he said to me and it made me laugh was when i got these highlights

00:16:39.160 he liked them and he said to me when you get older if you have streaks of gray in your hair you'll look

00:16:44.840 so good and i was like okay i mean if my husband thinks i'll look nice with gray hair that's a

00:16:50.840 compliment but i've uh i've had close to blonde hair i've had very intense red hair um and i have

00:17:00.360 accidentally gone black a couple of times in an effort to get back to brown so i have dyed my hair

00:17:13.640 have i ever dyed my hair oh no believe it or not okay you're gonna take it over in a moment yeah

00:17:20.600 we're getting a little backstory right now on the exact mechanism of uh genetic rewriting

00:17:33.640 so i like this question to both of you and this is on twitch to both

00:17:55.720 of you individually what is your number one conservative issue from life to a one religion

00:18:02.680 freedom of religion not just freedom of religion but the cultural issue of religiosity in the country

00:18:08.760 because it's the value set from which everything else flows you care about life you need a definition

00:18:14.440 of what life is you need an idea of the value of it and that is the idea that every life matters in the

00:18:20.520 way that we take for granted as a moral impulse that is an abrahamic innovation you look at ancient

00:18:25.640 pagan civilizations infanticide i mean literal infanticide several years old allowable ancient 0.95

00:18:31.800 china even modern china infanticide allowable that kind of a thing religion is really the difference

00:18:36.680 maker your second amendment rights the idea of the sovereignty of the individual again it's the

00:18:40.760 idea of the individual soul mattering against the impersonal state to me that's a religious matter

00:18:46.040 as well so everything else flows from that one thing i know there are atheists who say that

00:18:50.920 they have logic and reason enough to get to those values their own way i think they're assuming a lot

00:18:55.960 have a lot of sentimental attachment to abrahamic values that they get from the culture but which

00:19:00.040 they wouldn't generate on their own they didn't live in a judeo-christian culture so religion religion

00:19:04.680 religion for me sorry didn't mean to interrupt you that was important this is what we're here for

00:19:11.640 um for me yeah all mine falls under that umbrella but it's pro-life 100 that's my biggest issue

00:19:19.560 the thing that i care the most strongly about um and the thing i think is kind of the most clear

00:19:24.680 once you understand the science and it's hard to fight with uh and it's sad that people still try to

00:19:29.480 may have my phone second responder yeah yeah yeah sorry why did it make its way over we've got two

00:19:34.680 he's got twitch on his phone i've got youtube on my phone so i just grabbed his phone so i could look

00:19:39.160 at both while i was waiting is that a person did i get it i i think i saw a body fall in the meantime

00:19:50.040 you are being shot in the face oh it's okay you think you can get away with this

00:19:56.840 ah ah oh that person was about to run away and didn't get out of here

00:20:06.280 here's someone else i i think it was the death throes of that person oh so you know feel good

00:20:11.480 about yourself well and i just had a cream filled cake so i feel great it's the twinkie defense okay i have

00:20:18.920 a question for our followers do you have a sweet tooth or a salty tooth can you say that savory

00:20:25.960 a savory tooth which one do you prefer because i i tend to have a sweet tooth i'm a sweet tooth kind

00:20:33.080 of person and my favorite dessert that i very rarely have but when i do it makes me so happy

00:20:39.080 are uh napoleons which are like layers of phyllo dough interspersed with cream and it's great

00:20:46.760 so i want to know from you guys what your what your thing is yours is savory right uh yeah i got top

00:20:52.440 shelf film for our camera just oh did we get the camera yeah i missed oh come on i was i was oh come

00:20:58.600 come on no no terrible terrible trash tears

00:21:09.640 okay we've got a lot salty savory someone here says they have a spicy tooth i like it

00:21:19.080 well our intrepid fearless kyle and i intend at some point to do a hot sauce challenge so

00:21:24.680 yeah so we have been preparing ourselves by getting ever spicier sauces and putting them on

00:21:33.400 everything and uh yeah no i look forward to just absolutely shredding my intestinal tract i come from

00:21:42.280 a ashkenazic jewish family on long island spice is not in the family culinary vocabulary so uh yeah i

00:21:50.360 i have no advantage on my side here i can't besides at all yeah jacob can actually do spice i i i've

00:21:58.280 wondered in the past if i'm actually allergic because when i have spice i just the flavor all

00:22:04.040 goes away as a photographer how would you rate that shot what what's up jacob look at the latest comment

00:22:13.560 and look at the person's name and it's hilarious because this person was made to make these comments

00:22:18.760 yeah yeah thank you pasta man what is it pasta man sir on here um quote i think it's close-minded

00:22:27.080 to pursue various forms of culinary perfection i think you should look to perfect one path

00:22:32.360 yeah awesome oh oh abigail oh gosh yeah well i i drank some water i think maybe that's where the comments

00:22:43.560 are coming

00:22:53.400 yeah that'll be maybe next week or rather two weeks from now

00:22:57.080 oh i'm gonna go spell up yep see it's spelunking for audio diaries

00:23:10.120 oh come on you gotta interrupt the diary to talk about your wife and kid

00:23:13.640 i have to go in and get his log back

00:23:27.080 you guys might be interested in commenting on yeah

00:23:29.960 little uh megan markle interview oh i'm ready yeah

00:23:34.760 i have so many thoughts can we let the gentleman continue yes yeah

00:23:42.120 the general contractor had me down for the tip well i said i suppose it's the contractor then

00:23:47.560 he'll be bailing out

00:23:49.800 is it if you're surprised you're worried about i'll be picking up the brass so not to worry

00:23:54.120 to wire then why would you be doing that

00:23:59.320 oh come on

00:23:59.800 not the most stunning piece of backstory but just refers back to ryan's uh sense of dignity and

00:24:17.480 perfectionism and things so the big thing about this level is we're going to learn about the

00:24:21.640 criminal enterprises of fontaine who's like the big boogeyman in the city who uh got taken out by

00:24:29.400 ryan the guy who founded the place uh but we learn about what a hard guy he was and how ruthless and

00:24:36.440 everything like that and learn about how he funded the first research into the genetic manipulation

00:24:40.760 here i'm sorry but i'll be late again tonight rosenberg is demanding should we wait for it yeah and then 0.99

00:24:46.520 continue on yeah i'm trying to build a proper financial market and this idiot keeps going on 0.94

00:24:53.160 out of this genetic modification but i'll go spend an hour pretending to pay attention to the people as soon as i can 0.97

00:25:02.440 so regarding megan markle can we just reflect on how this bathroom stall cost five credits to open

00:25:11.240 oh yeah that's a thing in the game that you have to pay to use the restroom because everything in the 0.97

00:25:17.000 game everything in rapture is just a what would you call that a mercenary money making scheme because

00:25:25.240 that's the highest sense of self-actualization in the city right although to be fair in uh europe

00:25:31.320 in my experience in many places uh you have to pay a euro to use the restroom as an anti-vagrancy 0.60

00:25:37.000 measure right so you know uh apparently brutally capitalist western europe does the same thing

00:25:44.520 it's a good thing that the main character in this game isn't afraid of needles

00:25:54.120 oh god i was gonna say we gotta be careful i welcome the challenge they can try

00:25:58.680 so i'm gonna go back to this megan markle thing i'm curious who watched the interview i will say

00:26:05.400 i didn't actually watch all of it i watched as much as i could but every time i would close out of the

00:26:11.160 app it would try and start me all over from the beginning and then i would have to watch the five

00:26:15.160 ads all over again so i watched as much of it as i possibly could and i also read cia cbs's or cbn uh

00:26:22.360 cnn's um wish me what their um uh summary of it but i've not been a fan of the megan markle

00:26:31.880 and prince harry thing from the beginning just because i think it it's disrespectful to the

00:26:39.000 tradition and when you marry into a family when you marry a man you're not marrying just him you're not

00:26:45.240 marrying it's similar to what i was saying before you're not just marrying for love you're marrying his

00:26:49.400 family you're marrying his responsibilities you're marrying his duties and it's your responsibility as

00:26:55.240 a wife to support him through those things and megan instead of supporting him through those things

00:27:00.200 said let's get out of here let's run away and what was especially telling to me was that prince harry

00:27:06.040 said i didn't know that i was feeling these things until megan pointed it out to me he had to get

00:27:13.400 woke up is what yeah i was gonna say that is what we like to call being woke and i don't appreciate

00:27:19.720 it and of course all of the things that they were saying about their own family and throwing all of

00:27:24.600 these people under the bus just because they honestly because they want the fame even though they're saying

00:27:30.760 they want their privacy can't respect it can't respect it and i am not a fan um if they had decided

00:27:39.240 that they wanted a private life and they had literally gone and lived by themselves and had

00:27:44.200 just a quiet life on their own maybe i could understand it but they're living in a huge mansion

00:27:49.960 continuously taking interviews and deciding to work in hollywood so these are things nodding his head

00:27:57.400 around vigorously he's glad someone's saying it yeah i have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this

00:28:03.960 and uh i don't respect it so those are my thoughts on the megan markle thing and i could probably keep

00:28:10.200 going on about it but i won't i won't make you suffer through it come on i just need one there we go

00:28:19.640 you're so good at this i don't i don't think you've lost like one oh i did just in front of

00:28:23.240 you a moment ago but you were busy uh i was going on a diatribe i was busy oh my oh happy couple that's us

00:28:31.560 us no this is actually very depressing the backstory to this scene so

00:28:48.760 but he was right she was drawing blood out of a corpse by fountain fisheries and then when she was done 0.98

00:28:58.360 she walked up in hand with one of those awful golden 1.00

00:29:07.880 very depressing yeah it's really sad so uh so their daughter got turned into one of the little little

00:29:12.360 sisters uh the little sisters were little girls kidnapped turn into these creatures that can 0.96

00:29:18.280 recycle the atom uh and as you can see only vaguely here but husband wife and then there's a bottle of

00:29:25.080 pills open and we'll picture a little girl so clearly a pill-based suicide yeah oh we get a power

00:29:30.920 up so uh yeah worth no not worth it for you yep for you guys okay what is what does it say what other

00:29:47.560 games do y'all have in mind for the series i'm really enjoying it oh yay that makes us so happy

00:29:52.920 we're we're having fun playing um but i'm gonna let jacob choose the the next games because i don't

00:29:59.960 know anything about games so what would you choose jacob well i you know how to participate and be

00:30:05.480 enthusiastic but you're not you're not both feet into the world that you would know of other right the

00:30:11.240 only game i would say really quick i just want to say the only game that i really enjoyed playing

00:30:15.960 really enjoyed and by playing i mean i chose this the like narrative and jacob played all the fights

00:30:22.120 uh was witcher 3. i thought that was awesome yeah we still uh our favorite was the heart of stone of

00:30:29.640 the dlc yeah and that theme tune to it we'll still put on spotify and listen to yes in terms of this

00:30:36.600 series there are multiple games we're considering we're thinking maybe about bioshock 2 after this

00:30:42.040 because and i really like what they did with the villain for the sequel they had it be a collectivist

00:30:48.280 so you have this in a way right-wing individualist authoritarian andrew ryan as the villain in this

00:30:55.320 game and then the sequel your villain is sophia lamb a psychologist collectivist woman and so just 0.99

00:31:03.240 really flipping it completely the other way and obviously with a lot of like left-wing dissolving

00:31:08.200 the bonds or hierarchy themes in that while still being very like family like manson family kind of

00:31:13.720 cultish uh aspect to it it's a very interesting turn it's not as well made in terms of like every

00:31:20.440 level dripping with the theme and stuff like that but nonetheless interesting you might look at that

00:31:25.080 but red dead redemption 2 would be a lot of fun the game's whole yeah just hide behind it oh god

00:31:32.520 oh god get out of here run away run away b run away run away 1.00

00:31:42.280 do you want to hack this uh no it's just the whole thing who cares sorry continue what you were saying

00:31:47.000 about games i'm just letting it do

00:31:48.600 oh oh oh above you

00:31:59.560 someone's throwing grenades at your face oh god why did you tell me to look up so that you could

00:32:04.440 i was gonna say shouldn't i run so red dead redemption 2 um yeah there you go a lot of themes robber

00:32:12.200 bearing kind of stuff with the leviticus cornwall enemy uh the idea of the government cramping down

00:32:17.720 on the individual's romantic life of the outline how sad and bad it is that the way of the outlaw is 0.95

00:32:23.160 coming to an end except that the main character and his gang are a bunch of horrifying parasites 0.99

00:32:29.640 only leave destruction and death in their wake and are incredibly morally myopic selfish disgusting 0.99

00:32:35.320 people so the game really undercuts its own dramatic narrative and characterization 0.96

00:32:39.160 is

00:32:49.160 um

00:32:55.640 he woke up the next morning and he found he could move his fingers for the first time in years

00:33:02.200 i asked him if he still had that sea slug as luck would have it

00:33:09.080 he did

00:33:11.160 so that's where they're giving us backstory for the little sisters and for

00:33:16.120 um the stuff that he's putting in his veins that give him superpowers yeah the slugs one thing 1.00

00:33:20.840 i'll note about this oh that's interesting so one of the audio logs we came across and i think there's

00:33:25.800 more to this effect um mention how this villain character i jump in this ground you're just gonna

00:33:32.200 find some extra items maybe uh an audio log you're gonna need a crouch you already have enough this

00:33:38.280 one you already have enough help okay i thought you were just saying that generally there's there's

00:33:43.880 there's more oh okay i see i see hypos over there yes but oh there's a whole like underground world

00:33:51.400 that's what i'm telling you oh my gosh we're in the catacombs of bioshock 0.80

00:33:54.280 yeah it's a three foot tall piece of grading there we go

00:34:01.400 something must be done about fountain while i was buying buildings and fish futures he was

00:34:05.720 cornering the market on genotypes and nucleotide sequences rapture is transforming before my eyes

00:34:13.640 the great chain is pulling away from me perhaps it's time to give it a talk

00:34:20.280 so that's actually very apropos of what i was just about to talk about so i'm gonna put this

00:34:25.880 back in your hands okay there you go so uh what's very interesting about this level and actually this

00:34:32.200 was made in 2007 or whatever uh it's got a lot of parallels with big tech in its own way so what you

00:34:39.400 just heard was ryan the howard hughes walt disney founder of the city who wanted to be this objectivist

00:34:44.600 free market paradise uh he's pointing out how fontaine who you heard a previous audio log saying

00:34:51.000 that guy seems like a criminal but he can't be connected to evidence he's a very slippery character

00:34:55.160 the fontaine character was patenting all these genetic sequences and cornering the market on

00:35:00.440 the genetics research well what that leads to is ryan feeling his control over the city to make sure

00:35:07.080 that his vision the hyper libertarian capitalist utopia could be subverted and taken away from him

00:35:13.160 from him he wants this substantive commitment to these libertarian values and he assumes everyone

00:35:18.120 else would of course be on the same page there and everyone would pursue their own best benefit

00:35:22.920 but fontaine abigail yeah directly to your left oh god what no that's my right your left yeah take

00:35:29.080 the glowy thing oh i want that yeah i just thought that was like a pretty light no somebody asked uh jacob

00:35:37.800 yeah i said hey long island are you a nassau or suffolk lord nasa uh yeah nasa i'm from great neck

00:35:45.640 originally which uh if you have read the great gatsby is less dead but the demos really shifted by the

00:35:54.360 time that i was living there it wasn't really gatsby anymore but you were in the middle of talking yeah

00:36:01.080 so the whole thing is that fontaine the crime ward he corners them i'm sorry i had to pause to take a

00:36:08.360 photo oh i think apparently the screen is green on uh my youtube stream tile so yeah not sure if you're

00:36:19.640 getting a green screen on my youtube feel free to hop over to twitch it's twitch.tv

00:36:25.320 slash yak gaming um hopefully we can see why that's happening

00:36:36.520 i would not be surprised someone said what did they say someone said big tech is blocking the stream

00:36:44.120 uh i have been having issues with that lately uh with uh youtube so i would not be entirely surprised

00:36:51.240 there's still one more big daddy somewhere in this level but uh to continue what i was saying

00:36:57.160 just uh have a coherent thought so oh my on the on youtube yeah that's not great well twitch represent

00:37:08.120 abigail i might want to work off both accounts now yeah that's what i'm doing and i'm just putting the

00:37:11.880 link to the twitch account in the chat for my um youtube page but finish your thought uh staff just

00:37:18.440 said they refresh their page yeah feel free to refresh your page and uh if not then i've just put the

00:37:29.160 link into the description let you all work this out before i continue because no need for us all to

00:37:37.400 speech over one another okay is it you tell us what you'd like for us to do well i i it's up to you

00:37:53.880 guys it's actually yeah you guys i'm gonna ask you guys tell us in the comments would you like us to

00:38:06.840 shut the stream down briefly and restart it and see if we can get it to uh kind of clear up or you

00:38:13.800 can just head over to twitch and that's totally fine so there is live chat on twitch for those asking

00:38:25.960 uh yep okay so we're gonna have people i think want to just head over to twitch

00:38:30.760 so we'll have people come and join us over there um let's see let me know when i uh go ahead i think

00:38:39.800 i think you're good because i think we're gonna have to youtube must be down for that reason

00:38:48.200 where is the final big daddy little sister pair that i couldn't tell you

00:38:52.920 oh i hear the whale moans of a big daddy do you want you can finish you can finish your thought

00:39:05.320 now i'm gonna give people a moment to make their way over and then i'll continue with that okay do

00:39:10.200 you have a little sister or no are you just i personally do not have a little sister i am the

00:39:14.600 youngest this guy's just on his own i don't need to mess with him um leave both britney and that 1.00

00:39:24.600 singular big daddy alone

00:39:45.880 does he have one with him taking a look at some of the comments here

00:39:49.480 yeah there's definitely still one left and yet

00:40:00.120 and yet why are there all these single fathers wandering around i guess they're not even single

00:40:07.240 fathers now they're just bachelors because they don't have children who the big daddy these big

00:40:11.800 daddies that don't have a child where are their children that's a fair point 1.00

00:40:25.800 and that makes them and that makes him the governor sinking the profits back into bigger and better

00:40:31.080 plasmids building them fontaine poor houses like fontaine recruiting centers

00:40:38.120 what we know is both gonna have an army of splicers 1.00

00:40:42.040 yep we're gonna have ourselves a whole heap of miseries

00:40:46.920 this uh oh there we go what is that

00:40:50.440 this is making me laugh what i don't think there should be big daddies exclusively i think it should

00:40:56.920 be a whole nuclear family

00:41:01.640 uh yeah i mean the point of the big daddies in the game is just to protect the

00:41:06.120 little sisters there's not they're not really trying to raise them they're just trying to

00:41:11.400 protect them from other you don't think it's an ironic comment i'm just saying it anyways just

00:41:16.200 because i think it's funny so okay i was describing before what's very interesting about it is it shows

00:41:24.280 how the idea of the substantive culture of rapture being this hyper libertarian capitalist society

00:41:32.920 it requires that the people with the power to make that no longer the case buy in to the mission of

00:41:39.560 rapture fontaine flim flam man uh basically gang leader criminal all that stuff he just wanted to

00:41:48.360 seize power and oh there we go corner social power within rapture in order to uh just extract wealth

00:41:56.040 and resources from it and become its new dictator and take it whatever vision he wanted probably some

00:42:00.200 kind of kleptocratic corporatist fascist thing just because he's a gang leader wants to be in charge of

00:42:05.880 his own country kind of like any mafia government southern system or something and so he's a direct

00:42:11.400 threat to andrew ryan but the way that he's acquiring power is by outplaying ryan at business

00:42:17.720 that very thing which rapture is built to have no guardrails for and so you have an issue where

00:42:23.960 the very nature of rapture leads to the contradiction of rapture itself being undermined by the actions it

00:42:31.240 and encourages its citizens to do and so in order to preserve rapture is the free market utopia he

00:42:38.280 wants ryan now has to violate that free market by becoming his own government and muscling in on

00:42:44.520 fontaine and trumping up charges and busting his businesses and seizing his assets and so now you

00:42:50.040 have a free market society that's been maintained except it's no longer a free market because ryan has 0.88

00:42:55.160 massively intervened except that if you didn't intervene then fontaine would subvert it and so you end up with

00:43:00.840 it being inevitable that someone will be equivalent to your state someone's gonna be making these

00:43:06.920 decisions and so you either intervene enough to preserve a general balance where you have a free

00:43:12.040 enough market with enough guardrails that you actually keep the thing going on or you would

00:43:16.680 all fall into anarchy and so yeah it's just an interesting pointing out that you cannot have

00:43:22.840 a society like this without some implicit guardrails made explicit when the time comes and someone's

00:43:28.360 gonna actually try and push it and i just i really like that because you know that's the conservative

00:43:33.720 position free markets we want free markets because we believe in the sovereignty of individual people

00:43:38.360 to make choices and contract and all that stuff but we don't believe in some kind of literally moral

00:43:45.080 relativist or moral anarchic society in which anything can be sold to anyone at any time without any

00:43:51.880 guardrails of any form there's moral commitments that we make into finding what can be sold what

00:43:57.000 can be contracted for because if you don't you end up with this situation where you enable war

00:44:02.360 wardwardism or things falling apart or just no actual glue putting it all together

00:44:09.400 yeah just a key point is that we're not economically illiterate because a big annoying thing especially when

00:44:14.760 you get to populism on the left or right is that people will want things like raising the wages of

00:44:20.280 americans wanting people to be wealthier which we want too but a minimum wage just will literally

00:44:25.880 not achieve that it's a different thing from i don't believe in your method morally i think it's

00:44:32.200 wrong it violates my values sure we can't have debates about that there's a big difference between

00:44:36.760 what we think you should choose to do versus what will actually achieve your goal a minimum wage will

00:44:42.040 not achieve your goal itself that is the starting point of disagreement so people just uh virtue signaling

00:44:47.960 their intention what you disagree with the minimum wage because you don't want americans to be

00:44:51.640 richer no i want americans to be richer so i don't like a minimum wage let's do that practically 0.99

00:44:57.000 it's so annoying when people do the sleight of hand with this and just say oh my intentions with

00:45:01.800 everything right it reminds me of stuff with feminism you believe in equal rights for women right yes so 1.00

00:45:08.200 then you must be a feminist okay but it also comes with this this this and this all these 1.00

00:45:12.600 something commitments to what equally means and it's like that doesn't really yeah then i don't

00:45:17.960 agree to those things may have my phone so uh yes you may thank you and we're gonna have to probably

00:45:22.600 share because um the yeah the youtube stream is done

00:45:31.640 i i don't know why but it bothers me when i can't pick up something because i have too much of it because i know

00:45:37.800 that soon enough i won't have too much of it and i'm like i don't like this it's okay bag lady

00:45:45.000 i'm a bag lady

00:45:57.880 oh god we have some dropped frames it's not good are we how are we doing like are we wrapping up

00:46:03.720 this level uh yeah we can be so abigail you're gonna want to jump how do i do that why oh there

00:46:11.960 you go okay yeah and we're gonna go uh defeat the boss of this level and uh get on our way

00:46:19.880 so yeah but if things are like if we shouldn't continue because the internet's not doing great

00:46:25.560 then we can stop didn't get himself that you've got something from me and my crew or are you just

00:46:32.600 looking to get criticized you said here a spell i needs to set on some coffee maybe puts on silverware

00:46:40.200 and the like

00:46:44.840 okay so i think we might need to call it because the internet's not doing its best um but we will

00:46:52.680 definitely resume next time yeah so uh let me yeah let's let atlas finish the statements okay so um

00:47:09.320 cool so uh we are at a god everyone stop

00:47:14.120 everyone has to say their piece so just stop because we should probably like just end it here

00:47:24.760 save so um yeah we're about to do a very mild boss fight um but why don't we and i'm gonna switch back

00:47:33.480 to you guys yeah perfect and we'll answer let's look through the stream see if there's some questions we

00:47:38.520 can answer before we we sign off yeah the stream is laggy so we are gonna not participate in the taxi

00:47:55.320 driver's fallacy when times aren't good don't continue when they are good keep on rolling right yeah

00:48:01.880 check yours as well sure

00:48:11.400 i did see something from before asking how we can uh justify playing and displaying the game despite

00:48:17.480 violent content and uh as we were discussing last time violence has never scandalized uh me coming

00:48:24.920 from my background and i think in this case and it definitely scandalized me yeah but but the violence

00:48:30.520 is a means to an end for getting an artistic point across and there's a really big difference between

00:48:35.400 that which delights in the violence for its own sake and from a very realistic point of view of like

00:48:40.360 you're focusing on actual pain caused to people rather than like the action movie style of it where it's

00:48:46.280 so bombastic so removed from anything real that it's just it's not even something resembling real

00:48:52.360 world violence anymore it's just something formulaic for a genre of telling a hero story yeah well for me and

00:48:58.360 i think it more has to do with storytelling getting across a point and it would be

00:49:06.040 it would be a shame to not play to not play this game for that reason when there is a point of us

00:49:12.040 playing it yeah and uh i recognize that it is that for some people it can be overwhelming so that's not

00:49:18.600 to say that it can't be overwhelming definitely took me some getting used to and also uh maybe the last

00:49:25.080 question that we take for this session uh from world traveler what is the craziest pro choice argument

00:49:30.680 you've heard oh man there are so many but anytime there's an argument of convenience of just well it

00:49:42.360 doesn't fit into my life's plan right now that to me is a crazy argument to kill someone um and that's

00:49:51.880 not to say that pregnancy is easy it's not but it means that it doesn't necessarily give you an excuse

00:49:59.240 to end the life of your own child so that to me is a crazy argument for me it's one of the most

00:50:07.320 everyday of the arguments which is well you know what are you going to do about the quality of life

00:50:12.280 of a child born into a poor family where they're not wanted where criminality is more likely to result

00:50:17.480 and it's think about what that's saying it's saying that you from a third party perspective

00:50:23.000 can decide whether or not someone else's life is worth living and you are heavily tilted towards

00:50:28.920 thinking no they better not live better for them to be dead than alive because they'd be

00:50:33.880 poorer than you would like or possibly engage in criminal activity again think about that so do you

00:50:40.760 think that you should mercy kill the poor of any nation ever anyone even in your own country do you 0.93

00:50:46.280 think that you should kill people in prisons criminality of all stripes because well it's

00:50:51.080 a social failure so better for them not to be alive than to be alive these are arguments that the very 0.96

00:50:57.160 self-same left that is pro-joice would absolutely find abominable you don't care enough about the poor

00:51:03.160 so you should help them we should have more empathy for criminals and social rehabilitation things like

00:51:07.880 that don't just label them as a criminal forever find the human in there except if they're in the womb 0.88

00:51:13.880 and they're only potentially going to have a life of poverty that this third party thinks is not

00:51:18.600 worth living at all or that a third party might think could possibly result in them being a criminal

00:51:23.320 of some strength in that case preemptively kill them but also abolish the death penalty for actual

00:51:27.880 criminals and also only focus on helping the poor who are already here it's just it does not compute to me

00:51:33.560 well and then for me just this will be the last thing i say because the science as i mentioned earlier in

00:51:40.840 this stream the idea of trying to choose when life begins when so much happens and develops so soon and

00:51:50.760 early is insane to me because you know a baby has a heartbeat at 22 days so try which is most women 1.00

00:52:00.600 barely know they're pregnant at that point or probably don't even know depending on you know if you're

00:52:05.800 trying or not so that kind of thing is trying to determine when a baby's life begins based on when

00:52:13.080 you decide they're human enough that's just that's just a crazy argument to me in it in and of itself

00:52:19.560 also which human being was not a zygote which human being was not passing through that stage

00:52:27.640 when does humanity start if not that point it is the life cycle every one of us was

00:52:32.200 that so that is as human as human can be because it's the very starting stage it's like saying a

00:52:38.120 tree has never been a seed and i remember seeds aren't plants no i'm sorry it's only once they've

00:52:42.840 sprouted no that is the stage i remember we were at the aquarium last year and we were looking at the

00:52:50.680 life cycle of jellyfish and you said to me like look at how they draw the life cycle it starts with the

00:52:57.480 zygote yeah that they'll call it a life cycle of an animal or of a sea creature when it's a zygote but

00:53:06.200 for humans they won't they won't say it because they don't want to they don't want to have to commit

00:53:11.240 to that so well on that cheery note uh we're going to sign off for this week and we thank you very much
