Before power became a palace, a crown, or a government, it was something much simpler and far more durable:
a body held as collateral. #pledge #captive

# 1. Workers as Live-Test Subjects
Companies don’t just manage workers — they experiment on them. Every policy, incentive, and punishment is a behavioral trial. The workforce becomes a #captive study #population for refining control techniques that can later be automated, scaled, or sold.

I never feel good for blaming a sequel based on it not being "more of the same". Especially in the case of #Captive, which offered endless levels anyway, who would need that sort of thing? #Liberation: Captive II is highly ambitious, even moving to a different genre. Nevertheless, it's not nearly as good as its predecessor. Can you see beyond its technical shortcomings? What's more important: ambition or execution?

This guy's art seems totally posed which is interesting. it's so accurate you can tell no one is moving. haha. I love the little antennae from the perfect haircuts and the guy's clothes, fingerless gloves and suspenders and a dashing scarf blowing in the Venutian wind 🤣 I feel like in this scenario something masculine and sexy is bound to happen to this average American high school athlete.
