i noticed they left several peoples' fate uncertain. we never heard a neck snapping, we never saw her corpse, and bernard specifically asks "what did you make me do to her?" not "why did you make me kill her" or something like that.

stubbs got tackled and then not seen again. hale is not seen being shot. sylvester the neckbeardy butcher is told to stay.

i can't decide how much of it is "we can't decide what we want to do with these people yet" and how much of it is "who exactly will be willing to come back for a second season?" the reason i say that is it's always amusing to me when i see some old grognerd talk about how Blake's 7 was so daring for killing off the entire cast at the end of the series, when in fact the producers had already decided that in the event of getting picked up for a fifth year, anyone who wanted to come back would just handwave it away as only a flesh wound.

due to popular demand we put a host or human detector in the kitchen area. if you are having doubts about your humanity please scan your forehead and look for the answer. although, and here's the twist, if you're wondering whether you're human or not the answer is yes, you are, because hosts don't question the nature of their reality.

their banter did a good job of conveying that she wasn't interested in him and found him tiresome.

it seemed like he was Paying Attention which is a rare thing in TV, usually you've got the one "smart person" who's cocky and smarmy and everyone else is just plodding along being a dumbass. Stubbs learned more than he was told and knew more than he told others. i hope he's back in season 2. he was the only person who took the threat from the hosts seriously and appreciated that their only protection was a constantly-changing blob of code that nobody really understood.

Ticket: #5096756897

Subject: Panic Buttons

Hi, would it be possible to get some emergency stop buttons in the exam rooms? We bring in hosts that are doing some pretty violent stuff, or got locked into philosophical debates with guests, or had people attempt to compromise their computing integrity with Bluetooth or showing bitmaps taking up their field of view. We had one host that some clever kid had strapped a VR helmet onto, the host was almost convinced the guest was actually a park administrator. Maybe the exam rooms could have a big red button on one wall that when hit sends a wireless hard-shutdown command and summons a response team? There's emergency shutoffs on gas pumps, seems like semi-autonomous robots with knives warrant some safeguards.

For what feels like the hundredth time, both Housekeeping and Host Maintenance have asked me to please allow the boredom/repetition counter - which if you might recall we pushed specifically to fix the various OCD-related bugs that we spent most of June trying to stomp out - to increment while hosts are reading. The room service staff are getting tired of dragging wet hosts out of bathrooms, our shampoo budget is getting out of control and HM's had to order replacement hair twice already this quarter.

it's not clear to my why every host we bring in isn't strapped down. will it take a broken host twitching involuntarily and punching through a tech's face before we put some safety features in place?

Critical bug report: the sheriff is punding again and has somehow gotten hold of a stereo that he's taking apart in the town square and organizing the pieces of. There are about three dozen hosts standing around in a circle and mumbling the out-of-context response to each other and the guests are yelling about their immersion. Please revert whatever the gently caress you did immediately

Can someone please track down the device that some idiot guest has hidden somewhere in the tavern? It's shouting the phrase "Freeze all motor functions" at random intervals and it's really pissing off the other guests.

Well it's fall and I'd like to highlight a ticket we've had sitting in the backlog since it's suddenly relevant.

Ticket #12573489
When the host's temperature modules detect sixty-nine degrees fahrenheit the host has the word 'Nice' added to the audio queue.

Someone (and I won't name names) is marking this as wont-fix but I don't think that's gonna fly.

So I just checked the performance review code and it looks like there's a minus sign missing or something, because it's hooked into the HR mental wellness program, and 'experiencing frequent suicidal ideation' gives you about a hundred points toward a promotion.

I mean I guess that explains why everyone in management ends up killing themselves but way to gently caress up.
