A New Irrational Game. It is called "Project Icarus"
Johnny C:
i closed the tab and can't be arsed to open it back up but the theme of the game ain't eugenics specifically but rather american exceptionalism, which is like infinitely more fascinating
KvP:
Plz, there are obvious aryan overtones to all the propaganda / swag they've released for it. Check the videos later into the announcing Kotaku article. Unless the magic powers in Infinite are actually magic there's going to be a genetic angle to acquiring them and odds are good there will be a racial, possibly classist component to at least their development. It fits into the post-Civil War period when the search for scientific explanations for the inferiority of non-whites began in earnest. I don't see how it couldn't.
Johnny C:
i think eugenics is like a way to express the theme of american exceptionalism? like, one of its methods of articulation, the same way you could just cold buy off whatever you wanted to work for you in rapture.
Johnny C:
and i mean the racist and classist elements you talk about are elements of, again, the big A.E., manifest within eugenics but not exclusive to them.
basically it's a super interesting concept
Alex C:
Bums me out that anyone would be OK with a comparison to Halo's warthog. I hated the warthog.
