With drones being able to deliver groceries from warehouses quickly to people‘s homes, some people do not bother to go grocery shopping in actual grocery stores anymore, instead ordering everything online. Yet, a lot of people still go grocery shopping the traditional way, preferring to have the experience of being inside a place where they have the array of products physically in front of them.
On the Citadel, no grocery store or even grocery store section, officially speaking, caters to a specific species.
There‘s no store or store section for humans, or for hanar, or for asari.
But, just like there‘s Asian or Turkish or Mexican food stores on Earth, there are stores that mainly offer the food of a certain region.
It could be Citadel’s Amayi Market’s Dekuuna specialities section, or their departments of Palaven or Earth foods.
Or it could be Illuminated Delicaties, a grocery store aimed towards anyone who wishes to shop for Kahje foods. While many of the visitors will be hanar, it is also filled with plenty of other species who just like fish and seafood.
Larger Citadel food stores (supermarkets) typically feature cafès with fresh foods, including hot meals.
I’ve been looking at fanart of Johnny topside before he became delta to see what people think he looked like and I wanted to share my idea of what he looked like
He would be a white male as the first black scuba diver was in the 1990’s while bioshock takes place in 1968 and 1958 in the opening cutscene he would have been decently muscular as deep scuba divers suits aren’t the lightest things.edit: thanks @theluckoftheclaws for informing me that his eyes are canonically green! I appreciate it so much.his hair would be a shade of brown or black as those two were common with men in 1950s and 60s. Estimating the time he was subject delta before the events of bioshock 2 I would put his arrival around 1956. The estimated timeline being He stayed in rapture for a year before being turned into delta and then being with little sister Eleanor for a year before the opening cutscene of bioshock 2 in 1958.the hair style is a bit more of a open answer but I will add a photo of what I believe to be a Hollywood styling chart for men from around 1950 and so his hair would be one of those styles but I’m not sure as no research would tell me if Greenland/Iceland had a different fashion then the U.S in the 50s. We know Rapture is somewhere between Greenland and Iceland making it likely he is from one of those two areas.and my research says the base pay of deep sea scuba divers is 50-60k a year and 50k in 1950 is $617,657.68 today so he was doing pretty well off. He would probably be in his 30-40s as the average age of scuba divers in general is 40. Most likely married as the common age for marriage in the 1950’s was 20 for women and 23 for men. Most likely had a child as the common household in 1950 was a husband wife and one child sometimes more. The Child was most likely a boy as 51% of babies are boys.The most common male Icelandic names are Jón, Sigurður, Guðmundur, Gunnar, and Ólafur and the most common male Greenlandic names are Pavia, Jûna, Jôrse, Túpe and Sâmua making All of those names likely first names for delta.he would be from the coast of Greenland or Iceland as being a diver requires you to be near water.he might’ve been a veteran from ww2 as that started in the 1930s and he would’ve most likely been drafted into the navy explaining the deep sea diver license. He would have a few scars and discoloration as deep sea diving isn’t a safe job not then not now. This whole thing was just me hyper fixating on one thing as I wrote this in one long sitting I did all of the research and writing today BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO PLAY ANIMAL CROSSING THAT’S WHY I WROTE THIS.MY ADHD MADE ME SIT DOWN AND WRITE THIS FOR ALMOST THREE HOURS BECAUSE I WAS BORED OF ANIMAL CROSSING
This is a photo of a deep sea scuba suit
