Just saying. <3 I went by Consensus. I never used the LOIC, but I sure remember that chapter  I actually got quoted (anonymously) in a NYT front page article, declaring war on the US gov't lol.

Spoilers for the Mr. Robot app below, trying to figure out if I broke it or something: Last night I was trying to text Lois Berry to get her login credentials and it didn't go so well. The last thing that happened was she said she'd just login for me when she gets to the office in a few hours and I said "Lois, that'll be too late!" And that was 14 hours ago, haven't heard anything since. In the middle of the conversation I got some additional information from Darlene, and I haven't heard anything new from her or "E" either...is it normal to go this long without any notifications? I'm pretty sure I failed this first assignment anyways and now I'm wondering if I mucked up the sequence of events somehow.

No spoilers here just a warning to the players of the mobile game. The game is known to be buggy but you should also keep in mind that it's possible to gently caress up a sequence of event, although to what point I'm not sure. I don't think the game would be rendered unplayable. Be patient a little more and then the game might have bugged if nothing comes up. Sometimes you can message people even without them talking to you first or being notified, try talking to Elliot or maybe Darlene and see if you can tell them that you hosed up, I had that option when I hosed up

I think Price sees her as a pawn. He knows why she's there. He will give her information that will "help" her get back at those who wronged her family. But really she is just cleaning house for him.

But really she is just cleaning house for him. Yeah. That's the value that she demonstrated when she threw her AllSafe career under the bus by testifying about the chain of custody thing. She's totally willing to burn bridges and sabotage her own career just to "do the right thing". Price literally just gave her dirt on people he wanted to get rid of and she took care of it with his hands totally clean.

BrianWilly posted:Someone will ask him something uncomfortable or say something critical that he needs to find the exact right response to, and the show will just pause on his bug-in-headlights face for ten or so seconds while the other character just waits patiently for him to reboot. Angela and the FBI dude's breaks between speaking was out of loving control and killed the tension of the scene. This really does happen too much. It works with Elliot sometimes because the other person comments on it.

Word of caution to anyone looking to download the game: it's very cool, you should do it, but...don't do what I did I guess, or you'll break it.  e: in spoiler-friendly terms: I was attempting to coax someone into giving me their login details via text, and during the mission I texted Darlene to ask for her help. Don't do that I guess, or the game might soft lock. timp fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Aug 24, 2016 |

I think this might have been what you're missing: at a certain point if Lois stops texting you, there's an IT helpline for the company you can message that's an alternate pathway for info. It should be in your contacts list. I think you have to exhaust all possible methods at some points in the game before it will progress. It can be a bit obtuse. Of course, that might not be right and it really did soft-lock you out, I dunno. It's definitely a fun little game though.

Yeah I like the theory about Tyrell's wife too. I binged this all super quickly and I actually forgot about the knock at Elliot's door at the end of S1. I find her and Tyrell really fascinating so I hope there is some sort of interesting explanation for her because I feel like she's been a bit underused this season. Whatever she has going on with the new guy is just a bit ??? I miss seeing her be an arch manipulator/Lady Macbeth. At the moment I think Dom is my favourite character. I hope she stays in the show for a while. It's nice to have at least one character who seems relatively normal. Goddamn I love this show, the best and most interesting thing I've watched in a while.

There are only 3 or 4 main puzzles that only show up when the game wants you to play them, so you can wait 2 days and then all of a sudden it hits you with a ton of poo poo. You can put it off and it doesn't seem to mess with the game play, but once you get to the point where you think the game is picking up speed, suddenly it's over. I've played through it a few times now, and while every time is a bit different, it always ends the same.

OK guys, so I haven't seen any of season two since I'm planning on binging through the whole thing in a weekend once it's finished, but last night I sat around listening to all the friends that I watched season one with say it's almost as bad as the second season of True Detective. Please thread, tell me this isn't true and they were just messing with me/idiots.

It's a darker tone and the pacing is slower but the show is absolutely consistent in quality to the first season.

I was a little disappointed with Season 2 at first. I had just burned through Season 1 and going from the intensity of 5/9 to its aftermath was a bummer. I will say that it's 110% worth it, though. This show has twists but isn't lazy enough to rely on them to keep your interest. poo poo is happening.

Like, True Detective Season 2 was garbage from the get go and only got worse from there. This season has been a little slow to start but even the end of the premiere got things going pretty quickly. It's still good.

I think the concept of trust as a viewer is pretty interesting. We've been wary from the jump about Elliott's situation, and now he's finally trusting us. At the same time, with the way the season has played out it also seems to be the point where people are trusting Sam Esmail to deliver a good show again.

Zurui posted:Is it True Detective that has some ridiculous paranormal reveal? Or am I thinking of some other show? I haven't watched season 2, but season 1 played around with certain elements but in the end there was absolutely nothing supernatural going on. And while I can't make the comparison between season 1 and season 2 here, I have very much enjoyed Robot's second season and it'll probably be better when binge-watching it.

Rewatching, it's really interesting how it all makes so much sense from the start. I haven't seen anyone interact with Mr. Robot. Darlene's interactions with Elliot make perfect sense as a sibling that knows where he lives, etc. It's like... How did I not see this coming a million miles away.

Darlene's barging in and casual familiarity with Eliot is almost off-putting on your first run-through. Who is this bitch and why is she so up in Eliot's poo poo? One of the strengths of this show is that it uses the twist but it doesn't rely on it to tell an interesting story.
