/cyber/ - Cyberpunk & Science Fiction

link to download or yt?

>>23886

First episode is on youtube. It's only available in America though. I guess you can use a proxy if you don't live in murica.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpxvvnWvffM&feature=youtu.be

>>23885

same. It's really good shit, maybe even worth giving usa entertainment brouzouf for it. Maybe.

I think I identify with the main character much more than the viewer is supposed to.

Someone know how to proxy on iphone?

Seems like fight club for autists. Pretty fucking legit.

Only thing is that this seems like something that will get canceled. Honestly I'd rather never see any more than see it get turned into something that supports the adversary though.

im cautiously optimistic bout the show so far

looks pretty good

cross fingers it doesnt get canceled

I really enjoyed it, myself.

i liked the pace and intrigue

Holy fucking shit I love this

>>23899

Samefag

>>23911

Yeah, I've seen this shilled pretty hard recently.

It is decent, though.

>inb4 u're a shill 2

Anyway to watch/download this episode without a proxY

>>23911

it's funny because I'm not

this show ticks all the right checkboxes.

thank you /cyber/.

if the video is blocked in your country use proxtube or youtube unblocker (anti-GEMA technology made in germany) or youtube-dl or livestreamer through an http proxy (e.g. privoxy+tor).

or get it from irc or torrents like everyone else.

>>23917

> it's funny because we're not

FTFY

>>23885

damn this is actually pretty good shit.

Not sure if it will last though. It has to pay out for the network AND keep up storywise.

>>23911

what would be the point of samefagging here douchefag?

Anyway just watched it and it was very cool i'm waiting for the next ep in one month.

He was browsing cuckchan in one scene, how subversive!!

>>23925

yeah, freetards and anarchists aren't very big market niches.

>>23936

especially since the first episode had a scene where the protag basically insults everything the average shazbot likes

>>23938

that's why I like it though ;_;

>>23939

same here

but only shazbots pay for entertainment - so only shows that pander to the greatest possible moron will actually make brouzouf and continue being aired

>>23938

and does morphine, molly, and smokes a few spliffs

I just hope it isn't some kind of honeypot, or misdirection propaganda. It is USA aka ABCUniversal. I doubt we will see action directed at even simulacrums of the real reasons we should fuck society. At least without painting the main character as anything other than a straight antagonist and/or repentant and conflicted.

>>23940

>>23943

well we're guaranteed at least 1 season. All we need to hope for is that the show resembles the pilot.

I for one will give my brouzouf to USA if they actually follow through.

it's a fucking awful show with shit-tier, fucking in your face stupid direction and editing.

just take what you can in webms and move on, it's borderline retarded and not even that respectful to hacker culture.

>>23947

>not even that respectful to hacker culture

It gets everything technical right, which is surprising for tv.

>watching television

>in the distant dystopian future 2015

I'm extremely skeptical of this, but maybe if it ends up on Netflix and I have time to waste I'll give it a watch.

>>23953

it's on jewtube

>>23953

>>23954

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpxvvnWvffM&feature=youtu.be

>>23956

But are the other two even any good?

Network television and Hollywood in general are such a fucking joke it amazes me that people still watch TV or go to the movies at all.

>>23956

It's sort of plebby, but you can't forget CSI: Cyber no matter how shitty it is. Computers are indeed skyrocketing in popularity. Makes sense since everyone is walking around with a 1980's circa supercomputer in their pockets. If only computer literacy was rising at similar rates.

>>23957

Aye. Seconded.

>>23957

HCF gets most of the technical aspects right and is an interesting show on top of it. I don't really know about Silicon Valley.

>>23957

Silicon Valley is by Mike Judge (Beavis & Butthead, King Of The Hill, Office Space, Idiocracy), need I say more?

Halt & Catch Fire is……well, suffice to say that I have a something of a hard-on for 1980's pop culture and the fact that they throw a bottom feeder company who's trying to make it big with an IBM clone into the works is just the icing on the cake

All right, the trailer didn't do justice to the show. I thought it was going to be an edgy clusterfuck but it went better than expected. Anyways, I don't care. Fuck TV.

>>23969

Yeah there was definitely some cringe, but overall it was good.

>>23970

That was the point. I loved how everyone struggled to connect with protagonist, and his closest relation with the white suits was some awkwardly forced 'my first linux' conversation. That and it never brings focus to the obvious autism from protagonist, like anything else with such a main character.

The pace of development of this show is pretty quick, I hope it keeps that up. From episode one things are already pretty dangerous.

>>23965

if you don't care then why post?

>>23885

Just finished watching it, holy fuck it was good. The character seemed like a typical 1337 but until he 'told' the Psychologist "Fuck society" I somehow got drawn in. And that cliff hanger at the end, holy shit. This show has everything right.

>>23969

Agreed, maximum cringe. But it make the guy seem like he was trying to be "in" with the guy to get to know him, like how some people do IRL.

>>23971

You know, I didn't realize that. I usually just assume it's tv people being ignorant about tech.

>>23959

i like silicon valley but it doesn't have the same feel as other mike judge works. still good and mostly funny and way above trash like TBBT but it fails the check for epicness, i don't feel like i'm in the show when watching it.

mr. robot does have potential, let's hope they don't get corrupted by greed and shills for a while.

a lot of good and actually harmless works were being opposed by governments who didn't like the content for being too anarchistic, pippi longstocking being the last one i heard about and propaganda levels are at historic all-time high.

>>23969

i wonder if the KDE guy will join the hackers or fight them after he saw the h4x0r switch the dossiers.

>>23969

What does this guy say at the last scene? Serious.

>>23974

I have to agree with the youtube comments of him being the Dexter's Doakes of Mr Robot. I would bet that he's extremely skilled, and the KDE conversation was just some psyops.

>>23978

Yeah but why even let on that you're familiar with Linux DEs when it's even easier to just play dumb CEO? Though I haven't seen Dexter and rarely watch TV.

>>23979

Dexter was really really good, right up until the last episode when they fucked everything up in one sitting.

>>23975

KDE guy, I don't know. I'm wanting to say he was cast as a villain, he's kind of got that look. Then again, he does reiterate "old habits die hard" so maybe there's some hacker sympathy in him.

>>23981

I have a feeling he is going to be a chaotic neutral character. "I sympathize with you, I [probably, I'm guessing here] was a hacker once too, but it's time for you to stop because what you're doing is still wrong."

Then he might get flung into a red-pill/blue-pill scenario; help him and fix a lot of wrong or stop the guy.

>>23958

>tfw people are not becoming more computer literate whatsoever

>tfw laptops are being replaced by tablets and smartphones

>tfw people don't understand anything about how computers work beyond installing "apps" onto them and browsing Facebook and YouTube

I know it's unreasonable to ever expect society as a whole to generally have a decent level of familiarity with computers - just look at what's happened with cars - but it's painful seeing how stupid people are with something we rely on this much and how much megacorps exploit this.

Just a few days ago, for instance, in one of my classes someone was having trouble merely with getting to their flash drive within Windows Explorer because "Computer" wasn't on the start menu for some reasons. And another time the computer had restarted because Windows forces you to update and restart, and they didn't know to just wait and let it configure the updates and were turning it off and on.

If it isn't a fucking Mac or a smartphone, people are lost with incredibly basic computer use.

Since when the marketing cunts have to troll boards to lift up a show written using anonymous content.

it says it just at the fking start.

same dumb stereotype but otherwise left me wanting more so I guess that's good

>>23976

"Bonsoir Elliot"

"Please tell me you're seeing this too"

>>23985

Back in the era when book printing was at its peak (the 17th century I believe?), they believed that books were going to make people stupider because it took so much time from their usual lives.

>>24006

>>24006

where I'm getting at is that there's always going to be a "stupid" generation because there's niche groups who delve into the subject. if books became the norm then eventually at some point computer literacy will be required. It's just so new. Remember, books have been available since antiquity and computers around 40-60 years.

>>24007

Whoops, accident.

>>24008

Computers always have and probably always will have this stigma attached of being "too complicated" and "scary" for the uninitiated (this is coming from someone who was regularly blamed by parents and grandparents for causing problems with computers because they were on them too often)

I would urge people to read up on computers, but thanks to the modern age of instant gratification and social media, most people have very short attention spans and would probably either find it "boring" or "not worth their time"

I liked it.

I thought it was pretty good. Seems a little shallow. I guess if it were actually realistic then it wouldn't make as much sense to me as it does. But sometimes it's nice to watch something that doesn't quite make sense, something that expands your ideas of what's possible. Clearly that's not what they were trying to do here.

>>23985

See it as levels of acquaintance.

Most people are afraid of bricking the expensive toy they just bought to be at the same status as their co-friend-worker- neighbor.

They only need the toy to show off and be present in that fake life. So, for that, they need the toy to be a turn key thing.

After they have some free time and somehow they get interested in the innards they maybe would want to learn it.

But forcing a normal fb bee to install debian and sudo apt-get their libre office, will break their cycle. You can freeze their mind map adding new chores, because they won´t understand where to start learning.

They are more afraid of bricking the toy that being seen as idiots, then they freeze as your example.

>>24031

I used to be like this. My family only had one computer, and no one was very familiar with it. It was fragile and prone to freezing, and we knew that getting someone to fix it would be expensive, so it was mostly used for email and essays. My dad handled the downloading of all new software, and I was genuinely terrified of messing something up on it by doing anything I wasn't familiar with. It was the biggest mystery in our house to me, and I just couldn't comprehend how something so complicated and powerful could even exist. Reading about how computers worked didn't really do it justice, and searching "how to program" on Ask Jeeves only led to more confusion for me. I needed actual experience, but didn't have a safe environment (or at least thought I didn't) to experiment in. Our old PC was constantly acting up, and our only responses were to either to restart it or call someone else to fix it, which reinforced the idea that it was fragile and there was no room for error. Oddly enough, this changed when my family got a mac; not because it was especially good, but simply because it was sold to us on the idea that it was safe and easy to use. because of this I was able to fiddle around with it, and began to understand just what exactly computers were, and what they were capable of. I'm still by no means a computer expert, and my only experience with linux has been with my Raspberry Pi, but I'm at a stage now where I'm willing to take risks and try new things because I understand on some level the mechanisms of what I'm doing.

sorry for dumping all this, but what I'm getting at is that I think that the vast majority of the population still see's computers the same way I did as a child: an infinitely complicated box of expensive hardware far beyond normal human comprehension, used for a few dedicated tasks and not to be fucked with unless your willing to wait a week for it to be fixed.

>that tiny 4chan screen

>"IT'S HAPPENING"

Subtle enough, I can stand this

I liked the part where he scans the qt's bf's facebook and judges him, I actually do that irl

Still, hackers hunting pedophiles is getting old, maybe try to find something else to make your mc look badass

>>23969

>not pronouncing GNOME with a hard G

I guess we can't expect a Stallman cameo at some point.

>>24035

idk the way he said he wasn't into it for the brouzouf was nice. Most times hackers are portrayed negatively so it's nice to see that he's being portrayed as someone who wants to fix stuff.

I liked it. Looking forward to the next episode. I think that it's cool that they put it up on youtube for free so that people can youtube-dl it legally.

>>24042

youtube-dl didn't work on it for me actually (it's a special protected video it seems, like VEVO videos). I had to use Viewtube to scrape the URL from the browser.

>>24043

youtube-dl worked fine for me, I had no hiccups.

Just ran "youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpxvvnWvffM" and it worked fine. Did you get rid of all that extra shit at the end of the link?

>>24035

>Still, hackers hunting pedophiles is getting old

While the first time was kind of excusable because Elliot was just naturally curious, like he came across it by luck and decided to confront the guy with it

wow this spoke to me more than expected.

I too share those silly edgy thoughts about how fucked up human culture is.

I too don't let it out.

I too look up info about people I meet just because. I doxed some kid here because he linked his email and then I found his furry porn.

I'm probably as socially fucked up but I put on a better mask.

Good show looking forward to the rest.

No engineer would call themselves "just a tech"

>>24046

didnt work for me

>>24053

I probably would if I'm trying to be low-key. I wouldn't yell out "I'm a super 1337 h4x0r"

>This time I wanted to do it afk

>Why would you meet irl

>Nigga with supposed social anxiety has no problem getting a job and working in an office environment, conning some dude's phone info out of him in front of his face, getting a drug dealer, and fucking said drug dealer

Well I guess it can't be perfect

I can see this shit becoming a bigger problem if it takes off though

>>24061

Oh, and I almost forgot the "halfchan homepage open in the background for no reason" routine

>>24062

Better than "the hacker known as 4chan" that other shows do. We have to start moving towards something we like, and we have to start somewhere.

>>24043

video can only be seen from US of A.

http_proxy=ip:port youtube-dl url

you can use privoxy + tor locally or just google a proxy or maybe use the one used by proxtube or youtube unblocker.

>>24061 social anxiety doesn't mean you can't talk to anyone at all under no circumstances.

>>24032

i think you're right, most people are afraid of breaking anything. but many of them also have an aversion toward learning new things, probably because "learning" sucks so badly at schools so they expect it to be a shitty experience all the time.

>>24064

>social anxiety doesn't mean you can't talk to anyone at all under no circumstances

Yeah, but the dude's practically a social butterfly compared to a lot of people here

Maybe I'm wrong for having that as my standard

>>24065

He honestly seems more autistic then socially anxious, based on what I saw. I think it was even said at one point that he had mild autism.

>>24064

true, I would probably only be at a middle school level of math if I hadn't wanted to make videogames in HS. People are a lot more willing to learn things when they are relevant to their interests.

>>24065

well you can see that when he's not socially engineering people or high he's pretty awkward. idk though, I'm pretty good at interacting with normals, I don't actually have experience with social anxiety.

>>24017

hopefully i didn't pay for it

>>24062

I also noticed reddit and 4chan in his bookmarks.

>>24065

nah, I agree. I can't guarantee I'm not completely autistic, but I interact with maybe 5 people regularly, and they are all in some way connected to my roommate. I have never kissed a girl, never been in a relationship, and avoid new people at all fucking costs. I get most of my food from the vending machine to avoid handing my card to someone for half a second. despite all this, I don't resent or dislike "normal" people, and I don't feel like society is out to get me. I'm honestly envious of the main characters social skills.

Has anyone watched the new HCF ep?

>>24095

top meme

>>24095

brilliant.

so when does the second episode come out?

>>24104

first epi airs june 24

This one is the pilot

>>24106

but the first ep is the pilot "hellofriend" again it seems.

so the next one will be one week later ffs.

>>24061

>>24065

>>24097

I have social anxiety, and I see Eliot's character as very believable, socially. I've always had a few friends who I don't have trouble talking to, and I've always been able to relay information without anxiety, i.e. answer questions, tell people things that they need to know, etc. It's when I'm in a conversational situation without someone I don't know that I have trouble, and I generally have more trouble in public than in private. One time in high school one of my classmates asked me if I could talk, and one time in college a lifelong friend expressed surprise at hearing someone call me quiet, and said that he didn't think of me as being socially reserved. I used to simply not be able to converse with strangers, but now I'm a little less anxious and a little more skilled than Eliot. I've had girlfriends and jobs where I had to talk to coworkers, and I was pretty much right where he is socially maybe a couple of years ago. By far the biggest difference between my social life and Eliot's is that I don't get lonely, despite being a recluse.

>>24108

Oh I see, well it's every wednesday after the 24th so the waiting time isn't bad

>>24108

really? That pilot is totally unworkable from a plot standpoint. And they have to assume that people haven't seen the pilot, to introduce them to the series.

>>24114

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "Unworkable", if so I apologize, but it seems like it'd work perfectly for a cyberpunk style plot

VP dude who's name I don't remember is like "Hey, you know computers and you framed the boss so now I'm the boss, if you don't wanna go to jail for eleventy billion years you work for us now"

And now he works for the megacorp trying to find his way out and never really getting anywhere

>>24117

idk. It seemed to me like they were just trying to introduce the plot elements of the show rather than develop them. It also ends on a totally unsatisfying cliffhanger.

>>24119

I definitely see where you're coming from, that cliffhanger left me a little aggravated, but I feel like they could pick up well with it if they aren't full-blown retards and understand the genre they've stepped into

I don't know, maybe I shouldn't trust USA but I liked Burn Notice so I have a bit of faith in them.

>>24097

every supermarket in my city has self checkout

just use that and start eating healthy man

After watching it "conglomerate" doesn't sound like a word anymore

When will you shills gibe us a way to watch this without a proxy?

>>24158

just torrent it, i doubt they'll try to enforce it.

it's on irc too if you wanna be on the safe side.

>>24158

Does nobody use couchtuner in here?

>>24169

>IP address ending with 3 hundred something

They are just following the same rules for IP addresses that they use for phone numbers.

>>24174

Yeah, posting an actual IP would result in hundreds of sweaty nerds pinging it to death

>>24174

It's pretty picky, but RFC 5737 reserved three /24s for use as documentation or examples. I'm surprised tech shows still use nonsense IPs instead of an IP from one of these.

>>24184

Yeah, that's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this

>>24239

24th june or 1st july

>>24239

I need to do one of these webms where I actually lick the keyboard.

Of course I'll be using a brand spankin' new keyboard for that…

breddy good, thanks OP

>>23922

>Silicon Valley is by Mike Judge

sold

>>24106

>This one is the pilot

Hopefully other shows will be slower, I cringed at how quickly the different love interests/rivals/allies etc were trotted out. Granted its a pilot so its job is to tell you what the show will be about, which it did, but it felt like it blew a lot of its load early

>>24282

I don't watch a lot of pilots, so I'm not sure how it's usually done with the characters and plot and such.

I hope it doesn't become a weekly "who is the next bad guy" thing since there is no character development to be done.

I just want to know more about mr robot and mr bonsoir guy (he obviously saw elliot switch the folder)

>>24298

i honestly can't tell if troll, /pol/ or NSA.

>>24299

/pol/.

I'm probably accumulating more IT related skills than this entire board, but I am past the point of becoming a /cyber/ who sucks up drugs and dreams of storming GMO HQ one day or enjoys the fantasy of a dystopy, where you run around with a biohacked dick and shitting on a street.

Truth is, focussing simply on capitalism, police state or wealth distribution as the main problems/causations of humans going down the gutter, is simply the technological version of being a young leftist, liberal cocksucker, who is incapable of higher cognitive functions beyond putting together some equations or learning an OS inside out in his socially deprived free time.

>>24301

right so if you're not getting paid for it, is there a reason for you being on this board that can not be summed up as "i'm actually an unemployed autist with no social skills, no actual tech skills and no future, living in my parents' basement"?

>>24301

You are talking and talking but the only argument you actually brought forth is this:

>I'm probably accumulating more IT related skills than this entire board

which is tantamount to stroking your dick. Go back to worry about Dajoos.

>>24301

>>24298

yes we all know that rich white people are angels.

same for rich arabs and rich asians. they never do anything wrong, only rich jews do bad things.

so don't focus on them people! only focus on the rich jews!

you guys are fucking retarded.

>>24301

Please enlighten us, oh wise one. What should we focus on so that we do not become "liberal cocksuckers"? Should we focus more on how to ethnically cleanse our society of the people that you view as threatening?

Fuck off with your inferiority complex disguised as righteous hatred.

>>24325

Stop feeding the troll

>>24327

>/pol/

>trolls

They aren't trolling, they're trying to save us. /pol/ will never stop

their only job is trying to 'enlighten' us as to purported racial problems

meanwhile they are a huge part of the problem

>>24301

>>24298

>why no one takes /pol/ seriously.

i have seen it and my god all those fucking chan culture buzzwords, it wouldn't surprise me if this was a psy-op or something along the lines to subconsciously influence the last bastion of independent thought on this shithole of a mudball.

>>24331

>Not noticing I said "They" and not "we"

You're the shazbot, chummer, I'm just explaining

>>24327

These guys are not trolls, man. They are seriously convinced of the shit they spew.

>>24305

It is and i like to stroke my dick. I'd always like to point out that there are other people who are IT gods, but in turn laugh at you guys, who dream of nothing more than about a small little world you know from novels and think you will be able to enjoy yourself somehow when globalization really hits the fan.

>>24321

Rich people, no matter their racial background, can be equally shazbots and human scum. Just because Jews tend to act anti-national, doesn't mean others can't too. But Jews are more realiable when it comes to "painting an example", because it's anchored in their culture since more than a thousand of years. I know, history is something you don't know shit about.

>>24325

Cleansing? No. My point is, you all should stop trying to act, as if cyberpunk is any "nice future", aside from the tech porn we will get. You all embrace a political state of the world, where you're turned into rats, wearing wires and trying to act, as if everything is fine, painting the bullseye on things like capitalism only, while the causes lie somewhere else. This is what makes you the garden variety wannabe-activist-commie with an IQ barely above 90.

>>24331

That's not true. Don't confuse /pol/ with the average stormfag.

But yes, they are trying to save you. Just think of yourself as a small child running towards a deep waterwell, and /pol/ as a grown up bystander who sees you and yells at you, so you don't do yourself harm.

> you're kids who know nothing.

>>24332

racial "problems" are only one single tiny bit of the huge pile of shit. But it's accessible to the masses. I mean, /pol/ could start talking about poly-causal models of neuro-communication of the 4th order, or even the digression and regression of the 5th to 9th dimension, addressing hermeneutic problems, but that's way too high for pleb peer groups like /cyber/.

>>24338

Exactly. The logical irritations of this TV show start very early. Initially it tries to suck you in by spewing identifiers (things, charaters, which make you comfortable and easy to associate with - classic psychology) and then slowly mutating towards a different angle.

Why the fuck are any of you responding to this shazbot? /pol/ has been waging some sort of cross-board shitposting campaign as of late and replying to him isn't going to help anything.

>>24378

>IT

>implying we are impressed with your customer service job that happens to involve computers

Oh shit /cyber/, better be careful with this 1337 /-/@xX01^ here; he might help us if our computers are slow.

quit bein shazbots. or at least take it to that politics thread.

I only just watched it today. There was absolutely NO buzz for it where I live. i flip through channels and keep a TV on as background noise and did not see any commercials for this until today.

And I accidentally tabbed to new reply before I was finished typing.

Regardless of whatever tinfoil /pol/ theory about whatever this show is "encouraging" I have to say from a cinematography standpoint this show was really excellently shot. On ferry wheel scene I noticed inconsistency with editing, at first I though it was small mistake, but as the scene went on it kept repeating meaning they are purposely fucking with viewer. It was the little things that helped. A couple scenes made me roll my eyes (I thought the beginning wasn't super good) but by the end of it, yeah, I liked it a lot.

So is this going to be a weekly show or what? Where will new episodes be? It seems like some networks stream a show for free on their site for a week or so after it airs, so if you keep up with it you can watch it without having to be a dirty pirate

>>24673

The ad in the OP has a date and a network on it

>>24649

>On ferry wheel scene I noticed inconsistency with editing, at first I though it was small mistake, but as the scene went on it kept repeating meaning they are purposely fucking with viewer.

What do you mean exactly? Something bothered me in that scene but I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

>A show where the main character is disgusted with how oblivious society is to their corporate overlords, and how happy they are to be passified by mass media.

>In a show that's produced by a fuckhuge company and broadcast over national television

Not sure if this is self parody, or if everyone is really this stupid.

I really liked it.

realistic tech shit as well.

Also I lol'd when they showed halfchan on there.

Also the whole irony of the show being produced by a big corp makes it even better.

Also like how they're implying that Mr.Robot is Elliot like in fight club, but that could be a red herring.

>>24761

where's the problem exactly? doublethink is cyberpunk as fuck.

>>24783

I think Mr Robot is an actual guy. It'd be pretty boring if they made everything out to be a psychotic illusion of Elliot.

>>24298

It's a TV show. Think about the average person who actually watches TV.

>>24761

some producers at smaller channels actually enjoy creative tv shows. take off the tinfoil. I consider us really lucky to have something of this quality come through for once.

>>24761

Just because someone works for a large company doesn't mean they don't have ideas/beliefs about things.

>>24184

I knew i had seen him before.

one of the few good things from that series

>>25928

i don't have any examples of governments opposing her but there was a shitload of criticism, including in sweden, because it was thought to fuel antiauthoritarianism and anarchy and disrespect in children.

a few years ago similar criticism was brought forward about Benjamin the Elephant.

i heard plenty of children's stories feature plenty of criticism of society and anarchist or socialist ideas.

here's a source you can google translate:

www.jungeforschung.de/kjl/Pippi%20Langstrumpf.pdf

and here's some mentioning too:

https://sweden.se/culture-traditions/pippi-longstocking-rebel-role-model/

see how the rotten tomatoes rating differs from public reception, i bet murrica bought negative reviews:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Adventures_of_Pippi_Longstocking#Reception

and the actress was nominated for the golden rasperry awards for worst newcomer in 1989 which makes no sense as her acting was pretty good.

fun fact: lindgreen had to censor her first draft and win some small price to even get a publisher.

So the first ep came out yet?

>>25935

Jesus, I've watched so much Pippi and i never knew all this.

>"so I hacked you"

>"I'm different"

>that retarded conversation about muh Loonix desktop

God damn, they need somebody to proofread this shit. The acting/directing/concept/set design was all great, but some of that dialogue made me cringe.

And yeah, I'm fully aware this is possibly a viral thread, buttfuck it. Few things are more cyber than viral marketing.

>>26333

op is a scitzo suffering from delusions, mr robot is his tulpa. The story ends when he goes full cray and wakes up in russia as a lumberjack after fucking his sister.

>>26333

>"so you're a flaming pedophile… I'm different too you know, very different, I've got social anxiety"

and they went full retard in the first 5 minutes.

>>26333

thier viral marketing campaign is ridiculous. there is a livestream after the show in which they eventually hand out some code you hav to punch into the website and then send out a tweet ad for them and they put you in a random drawing for \up to 500 usd\

basically watch the show

watch the stream

connect through your browser

connect through your twitter client

tweet an ad for us

and get shit in return.

>>26433

thats not viral marketing idiot lol

Youre fucking kidding me right? right? plz be kidding

The question of the day for any h4x0rs: 1 or 0?

Would you blow the gas station?

>>>26705

*blow up, damnit

episode 2 was kinda lame imho.

>>26705

link?

I'm glad he fucked up that drug dealer guy.

>le masked hacker man

Could they really not come up with anything better

Fuck, even the ye olde "webpage replaced with spooky animated skull" schtick would have been better

>>26719

what scene are you talking about?

>>26705

this is something i've thought about tsa agents.

people really, really don't like them. they are also just normal folks who needed jobs.

but that doesn't excuse them from their decision to become one either. it is heavily a politicized job and they are actively doing something which many in society deem wrong.

if someone rose up, i wouldn't worry about their lives. same for police if they chose to side with the state during a revolution or if they were the targets of political statements.

i don't condone the killing of people, but they chose these positions. it's like someone in the military complaining when they get ambushed or ied'd out of nowhere. it's a problem, but a problem functionally associated with that position.

>>26720

Did you not watch the episode

I may have used few words but I wasn't exactly vague

>>26720

>what scene are you talking about?

The 'fsociety group' video message.

>>26724

i just forgot, mate.

>>26725

all i could think about during this video was that it was a literal copy of anonymous' videos. including the skies and music

>>26721

>i don't condone the killing of people, but they chose these positions. it's like someone in the military complaining when they get ambushed or ied'd out of nowhere. it's a problem, but a problem functionally associated with that position.

Interesting view. How about switching the sides for a moment? How comfortable would you be, if police said now that you chose this position (e.g. resistance), thus killing you is merely a problem functionally associated with that position?

- - -

Anyhow, thinking about the gas pipeline situation, it's destruction is critical for accomplishing the goal. People working there become a question of one's morality. If possible, make them leave the place. If not possible, search for a way to make it possible. If for some reason absolutely impossible, then, au revoir till next life.

>>26728

my point wasn't whether or not killing is justified because of the victim's choices to be in a high-risk job.

my point was that when putting yourself in a high-risk job, we shouldn't be overly critical when that risk eventually happens.

of course, we should do everything in our power to stop or mitigate the problems, but the inevitable is inevitable.

kind of how there is no un-hackable system. you can do everything in your power to keep your data secure, but you should always be prepared to accept the consequences of having and caring for that data. this often comes with greater pay but greater risk.

>>26729

basically my point is "we are the risk" and to blow up the joint.

made by … and "Anonymous content"

they're going all out to lure in the edgy H4XX0R555

>>26734

ohohoh and that fsociety logo

this show is becoming one big joke

>>26729

I get what you're saying.

It seems to me that we've become so disassociated from dying by someone else's hand in normal life, that even this 'killed in high-risk job scenario' seems preposterous. You cannot go outside and casually slay someone, as people used to do in earlier time, we've adopted this 'won't die till 80' mentality.

>>26735

>ohohoh and that fsociety logo

>this show is becoming one big joke

I think they're doing it (this cringeworthy) intentionally. They (screenwriters) wanted 'the message' to be overblown anonymous-like style. Both from the actual show position, and the inner story position. After all, 'the message' is a bait in that inner story.

When you start thinking that everything in the script is for a reason, as it seems to be, the show becomes really good.

The writing is really good. For instance, the scene where Mr.Robot pushes Eliot off the handrail, his reasoning and the act itself are really clever.

When Eliot was kicking the heating, I think that's a metaphor for something. Don't know what it is, yet.

>>26738

>kicking the heater

Yeah, I couldn't quite figure this one out. It really stood out for some reason.

>>26738

>>26738

come on, the writing is terrible.

it's a thinnest story I have heard of in a while.

such a simplistic good vs bad with absolutely zero motivation from both sides.

the only thing that carries the show is the hacking shit (which is becoming a joke) and his mental issues which are so inconsistent that they just come off as another buzzthing.

>social anxiety

>great at social engineering

>interacting with the girl he knows from highschool, fucking his hot dealer chick and interacting with the fsociety group

it's all shit.

>>26740

>such a simplistic good vs bad with absolutely zero motivation from both sides.

Did you miss the drug dealer scene? Where he admits he's covering up his problems with drugs and how the girl that got raped is actually in an OK situation because her rapist pays her well. Part of his dilemma was that if he takes the drug dealer out, he doesn't get the drugs and has to face himself and that she will be in a very rough spot.

That's hardly a binary good vs evil.

>>26741

I'm talking about the 'hurr evil corp is evil'

plus that scene is still just a scene and not a story.

I'm talking about the continuity, crafting real characters not some character that swings all over the place depending on the situation.

the main character is thin, the evil corp is thin, the fsociety group is thin.

they can fill it up maybe but the show is off to a bad start.

if you ignore the hacking and the 'ooooeeh maybe it's all in his head' shit, the story is weak.

>>26740

>come on, the writing is terrible.

>it's a thinnest story I have heard of in a while.

I don't deny that when looking at the big picture, there are some major stretches. When you go down on the crude storytelling level, it becomes good.

>such a simplistic good vs bad with absolutely zero motivation from both sides.

Yeah, they really rush through the motivations. But they want to offer both sides of the perspective, and there seems to be some underlying motivations of the characters we don't know yet about.

e.g.

Eliot being offered a position at E corp. Rejects. Whaaat? → E corp proxy-killed his father.

Eliot refusing to kill people at the gas pipeline. → would you just go "Hell yeah, I'm in!"?

Eliot contemplating handing the drug dealer over to the police but muh drugs → typical conflict of interests → raped the girl, fuck that twat, screw muh drugs, hello pain

>>26742

It's only been two episodes mate. How can you expect all the characters to be `thick' in only two episodes?

I think Elliot is a fine three-dimensional character with some of his flaws characterized – possibly on purpose.

E-Corp is obviously, right now, just a flat stand-in for a target and nothing more.

fsociety is pretty flat as a whole, but Mr. Robot is not.

>>26744

And let's not forget that the whole story is being told entirely from Elliot's perspective. He's a junkie, maybe even with a mental illness. Who knows what is actually true? Maybe he's just making the shit up by an inaccurate observation, wrong reasoning, and hallucinations.

>>26742

>'hurr evil corp is evil'

Yes, and microsoft and apple and all those other real life companies which big E is clearly based off of are absolute paragons of virtue

>>26742

>'hurr evil corp is evil'

Yes, and microsoft and apple and all those other real life companies which big E is clearly based off of are absolute paragons of virtue

I think the bigger issue at hand here is if you think megacorps being morally near-black is such a terrible thing, why the fuck are you on /cyber/

>>26753

>>26754

I don't even know how this happened

>>26742

oh look, it's the asshole guy who is always talking about how evil megacorps are actually good guys because he works for one and doesn't want to face the truth that he is harmful to the rest of society.

>>26745

>He's a junkie, maybe even with a mental illness.

I thought it was already confirmed that he's mentally ill. Referred to himself as being schizo and whatnot.

>>26806

>I thought it was already confirmed that he's mentally ill. Referred to himself as being schizo and whatnot.

I don't think so. If he were, he'd be under meds from the psychiatrist, not just being counseled. I too refer to myself being many things, that doesn't make them true though.

>>26821

He's an unreliable narrator. That's what draws me in the show so far. On one hand, he's really good at observing details about people (mostly via hacking) and analyzing them. On the other hand, he's been shown daydreaming, he's a drug addict, he's most likely a compulsive liar and most of the shit in the show could be his delusions coming to reality, him attributing to himself something that probably happened in the background without his real input. It could go all Fight Club on us, most of it could be real with a few bits where he pretties up the details in his head, or it could all be just a daydream fantasy of a lonely, paranoid programmer.

So far I enjoy the cinematography a lot, the plot is functional and the characterization has been solid. I'm definitely going to watch this through the end, seems promising.

>>26821

its not like there are degrees of mental illness or if there is anyone who is completely baseline

just because he's not popping all the pills he "should" be doesn't mean the dude is okay

>>26825

>its not like there are degrees of mental illness or if there is anyone who is completely baseline

>just because he's not popping all the pills he "should" be doesn't mean the dude is okay

Exactly my point, it's not established he has mental illness.

I'd say there are stages of a mental illness; sure, you cannot say he's 86% into schizophrenia, but such thing as mild or severe schizophrenia could exist, at least I think so.

On top of that, he's meeting a psychiatrist, and for heaven's sake, she should be able to recognize such things. Because he's not on meds from her, that tells me it's either nonexistent, mild, or somehow masked. As far as we know, she treats him for a social anxiety disorder and problems with reality-coping mechanisms.

>>23956

HCF still going?!

>>26855

Yes, it just started it second season about a month ago and takes place a few years later with Mutiny trying to stay afloat

>>26719

if you had watched past that you would see that that was just meant to sp00k people so they could do actual shit lel

>>23940

>implying shazbots don't like to be told how lame they are

Why you think the wire was so popular?

An exec from E corp would never call their own business EvilCorp. That was very strange and unrealistic.

>>26945

The story is told from the MCs viewpoint, and he substitutes the E with Evil. Were you even paying attention?

>>26947

From the what? This has nothing to do with hiphop!

>>26945

This was explained in the pilot, retard. He has called ECorp "EvilCorp" for so long that whenever he hears their name, he replaces it with his own secret name for them. Since the show takes us inside of the main character's mind, they added that in as a cool little gimmick.

>>26985

Well that's fucking weird, I bet the writers jointly jerked off when they came up with that idea. So fuck you god damn cuck.

I think I'm getting a crush on that blonde chick, anyone else in that situation ?

>>26991

I think it is a good basis to show that the main character may suffer from vivid delusions.

>>26998

That and it's also a good way to make sure the audience understands the narrator is unreliable. It's pretty neatly done imo

>>26997

>I think I'm getting a crush on that blonde chick, anyone else in that situation ?

She's annoying.

But, I'm getting more interested in Shayla, the hot drug dealer. Dammit, they promised me this wouldn't happen again. Aargh.

>>27012

i agree, the dealer is way cooler so far.

>>26997

too bad the dark army is seeing her tits atm

>>27012

>>27013

Ah, I also find that other girl more interesting, sadly my dick disagree

>>27023

Calm yer tits

No need to be so harsh on fellow anon

>>26991

>/pol/tard doesn't get it, becomes cocky

who would have thought.

>>27025

>calling a /pol/tard "fellow anon"

what the fuck.

>>27025

Thanks.

>>27079

I guarantee you I'm not a /pol/tard.

It was ok. A little heavy handed with the trendy references like khole and sorta Anonymous.

>>24298

White/Arab forms an active germ line and is therefore not beastiality.

>>27089

both the k-hole and anonymous are at least 10 years old, they are not trendy anymore they are just a part of current culture.

The first two episodes of scorpion were decent too, but then look where they went.

This show is just some more tryhard wanabe h4x bullshit. It's probably going to be shit in about 2 episodes.

>>27099

What are you smoking? It's already utter shit.

>>23975

>i wonder if the KDE guy will join the hackers or fight them after he saw the h4x0r switch the dossiers.

Fuck I never thought of that, putting my brouzouf on that shit happening for sure.

>>27104

>>23975

have any of you seen the second episode ??

When will ep 3 air torrent?

>>27107

I two days I'm guessing

>>27107

about 20 minutes after it airs on tv

watching ep 2 now, it's breddy gud.

>>27114

So when the fuck does it air?

>>27125

How lazy can you get ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Robot_%28TV_series%29#Episodes

>>27125

>So when the fuck does it air?

These fucking lazy arseholes. It'd take you the same amount of energy/time just to run it through a search engine, instead of asking.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Robot_%28TV_series%29#Season_1_.282015.29

>>27126

>>27127

why are you rewarding his laziness?

>>27128

>why are you rewarding his laziness?

With a hope that he'll realize how pathetic his laziness really is.

I'm halfway through the second episode. I love it, but it's sexist. The women are accessories. I hate saying that with all the fascist control freaks hiding under feminism right now, but it's true. The women are all there to be rescued and fucked. I have female friends. They don't act like that.

>>27152

Well to be honest that's a statement you could make about tv series in general. Most of them have pretty bad characters especially when it comes to females.

>>27152

yeh the characterization is pretty bad.. I'd call it excusable until that crazy chick showed up in his apartment and flashed him.

>>27165

>flashed him.

wut

Just watched the second episode. I like it and hate it.

Anyone notice when the dude peddling his CD said "It'll give you the feels"?

This is all aimed at 4chan. /pol/ was right again.`

>>27165

That's funny, I started typing like two minutes after that. It all went downhill in the space of a quarter of the show.

>>27167

> /pol/ was right again.

I oscillate between thinking /pol/ is onto something and thinking that they're right when there's a conspiracy because they just assume everything is a conspiracy.

>>27167

that guy was a living meme.

>>27152

Do remember that the narrator for the story is a drug-using dude with mental issues. As another anon points it out, he already substitutes "E Corp" for "Evil Corp" in his telling, that's why the CEO of Evil Corp called it that way, that's why it's like that on all the tabloids etc. He's also shown to have difficulties with forming relationships. Would it really be odd that a guy like that tends to view women in a very warped way as well?

I personality didn't see any "sexism" because I really don't give a shit about oppression olympics in the media I watch. I care about characters and what makes them tick, I couldn't care less what their morality is based on someone's theories.

>>27178

So far he's made all the right choices, for a junkie he's actually quite sane.

>>27152

Not sure if I'd call it outright sexist when it's more a case of lazy characterization, but yeah, the writers could do with working on that a bit.

>>27170

there's a theory that a large enough number of /pol/tards with computers can actually recreate the works of shakespeare.

Anyway to watch this live tonight if you don't get USA?

>>27152

except for the one girl saying "don't save me i'm a big girl"

and the hacker girl.

and the drug dealer girl saying "i'm a big girl i don't need your help"

what the fuck are you talking about?

>>27188

You don't want it live. It has ads. American ads.

>>27190

The only way I can excuse watching American ads is when Seinfeld is on.

>>27099

>The first two episodes of scorpion were decent too

doing this kind of drugs is certainly illegal.

>>27198

>Seinfeld

I'd be able to watch that too, if I didn't have a brain.

>>27189

It was fine until halfway through episode 2.

The hacker girl is supposedly a world-class hacker but is completely vapid and basically shows up naked in his apartment as someone said. When does she actually say anything that advances the plot? She's a cab ride to Christian Slater.

His drug dealer fucks him, and then gets raped and is all helpless and needs him. She says she doesn't need his help but obviously does.

The women don't so much advance the storyline as make the dude look like he gets a lot of action. That's what the fuck I'm talking about. Seriously, man, how many hackers do you know that are fucking their drug dealer?

You're right, though, the "friend" girl is not sexist at all unless you really want to stretch the point. I wouldn't say the psychologist is sexist either.

>>27204

>not liking Seinfeld

I mean, this has no relation whatsoever to cyberpunk, but come on chummer.

# EPISODE 3 Discussion below #

##################################

I can't help it, but I start really liking this series.

It's so weird yet symbolic, like watching the world with the filters down, all you get is this crude surreal picture.

Episode 3 is out people

I still don't get why Tyrell fucked that guy, if he wanted to get to know who's that potential CTO, why not just ask the CEO? Seems like a lot less trouble with the same result.

>>27282

He hacked his phone. That was the real reason. The guy might not even be gay, just the kind of corporate asshole that will do anything to get what he wants if the opening sequence is anything to go by. That sequence felt very American Psycho to me, probably intentional as well.

These episodes really fly by.

Does this mean Mr Robot definitely isn't in Elliot's head since he was at his workplace and a few people were looking at him trying to make a scene?

>>27287

See, I'm not sure about that. Nobody spoke with Mr. Robot. I couldn't notice anyone making eye contact with him. That redhead co-worker looked at Elliot, not Mr. Robot, and in the bar, the bartender didn't say a word and when Elliot asked for the appletini, he looked at him like he was slightly weird.

The entire reference of his past as being a bug is interesting too. He might simply get sidetracked with the smaller bugs to notice the real one, the fact he's going schizophrenic. Hell, the part in the hospital where he couldn't remember he had called his psychiatrist could be the memory loss typical of a schizophrenic episode.

In any case, there's no way to know for sure what part of this ruse cruise is real and what is not but to keep watching.

>>27285

I see you're running mpv. You know, I'm actually on VLC myself. I know this media player is supposed to be better, but you know what they say. Old habits – they die hard.

>>27286

>He hacked his phone. That was the real reason.

Well yeah, but for what purpose? That guy is a front-desk nobody. By the time he came back to his wife/gf, he knew who's that CTO candidate. So again, why not just ask the CEO?

And what really got me, his wife/gf seemed to be somehow involved in whatever's about to happen, as if they were working as a team to take over E corp. Really curious about the next development.

who deleted my reply to this whiny cuck >>27244

>>26985

>the show takes us inside of the main character's mind

If that's true how come we're following mr Gaywick now? Even when he's doing the homosex and preparing his wife for SM? You srsly suggest Elliot was there the whole time? Get REKT

>>27152

>>27167

GTFO, SJWcuck

So what exactly would we classify Darlene as? Because she's broke into Elliot's house multiple times and done and taken things seemingly without any thought

I wouldn't be surprised if later on that she turns out to be a mole for Evil Corp

>>27303

It really is better, faster and stronger.

I have old mpg porno files that mpv doesn't play for some reason but vlc has no problems with.

dude, episode 3 ended on a weird note.

>>27312

>It really is better, faster and stronger.

That's what your mama said last night.

>>27318

My guess is that there's an ulterior motive to it. Remember that she arrived at her apartment, after leaving Gideon's house with Elliot.

Elliot may or may not have gotten her up to speed with recent events, and perhaps even formulate a strategy… but I'm probably overthinking it.

This show has yet to have a vanilla sex scene. Kind of funny.

I find it awkward, the relationship between the bonsoire guy and that chick at the end. Are they in a relationship because they like each other or because its mutually beneficial?

>>27361

>I find it awkward, the relationship between the bonsoire guy and that chick at the end. Are they in a relationship because they like each other or because its mutually beneficial?

At first I thought she's his slave and a disposable uterus, but at the end it looked like he's her bitch.

Therefore, it's more like a highly functioning cooperative machine, with some of the benefits/pains of a relationship. One way or another, they're there to reign.

Does the state of jew york provide grants for forced diversity in television? We have:

* Main character is a sandnigger

* Rootkit coder is a grill

* Muslim grill with no purpose (i.e. forced)

* Homosex, coming out and cleaning the sewage pipe

* The normal guy is portrayed as dumb-ass

The producers can play /leftypol/ olympics all they want, I don't care. All I'd like to know is why they consider it profitable.

The monologue about bugs in episode 3 was probably the smartest thing I've heard about computer science on TV outside of documentaries.

>>27368

>that whole philosophical blah blah about how bugs have to come to you?

This part:

>Most coders think debugging software is about fixing a mistake, but that's bullshit. Debugging's actually all about finding the bug, about understanding why the bug was there to begin with, about knowing that its existence was no accident. It came to you to deliver a message, like an unconscious bubble floating to the surface, popping with a revelation you've secretly known all along.

it's all true, especially from the point of view of a security specialist.

>>27371

>Main character is a sandnigger

Sandniggers are criminally underrepresented when compared to how many there actually are working on tech-related careers.

While rarer inRL, it could technically happen, so they just went for the quirky "eye candy".

>Muslim grill with no purpose

Eye candy tied to not all muslims are terrorists plot.

>Homosex, coming out and cleaning the sewage pipe

Homosex are known for loving 9and knowing how) to clean pipes.

Most normal guys are, specially from a tech-related POV.

nobody gives a shit about media representation because most people can decern between fantasy and reality

It's not like next generation of sandniggers and womyn are going to see main protagonist being a courageous mudslime feminazi and then going to act like her because they project image of protagonist on themselves.

Fucking retard, I bet you don't act like all characters in movies you ever watched, and I don't expect anyone else do so because that would be fucking retarded thing to do

>Debugging's actually all about finding the bug, about understanding why the bug was there to begin with, about knowing that its existence was no accident

This part makes perfect sense. Bugs aren't accidents, they're the computer doing exactly what you told it to, which may be different from what you think you told it. Well, either that or a compiler error.

It's called displacement you stupid cucks. It's really pathetic how effective it is. They don't just take the radical position, clean it up, smooth the edges and misrepresent it into something harmless.

They've got you cucks so controlled that they'll actually package the sanitized pseudo-radical content into something sellable, so dumb cucks like you lot will put their energy thinking they're contributing towards anti-consumerism through the action of purchasing into the branded anti-consumerist role. You think you're getting introduced to some interesting anti-capitalist/groupthink philosophy when it's just the safe version.

This is much more effective than simply pretending the radical position doesn't exist, because it causes people like you to satisfy their interest and curiosity, when otherwise they might have sought out genuine texts and media online and log in to the fucking game.

tl;dr: It's not difficult to paint a blue pill red

>>27402

>seriously, who gives a shit about this expect some victim complex SJWs?

well nobody was talking about it until some dude got buttmad over seeing gays, non whites and women in the show so I guess that answers your question

>>27409

dude, anybody who thinks he's contributing towards anti-consumerism by watching a million dollar show is retarded.

it's a fucking show you shithead. why do you always have to take everything so goddamn seriously.

Anonymous and political hacking is popular so they made a show that involves it. And I'll burst your little bubble but most hacks today that get into the media are performed by non-whites.

it's a business that found a crowd to sell a product too. nothing more, nothing less.

If you make a show that only has whites doing the cool shit and appearing smart/normal then they're going to get more protest than when they include a woman, an arab and a gay dude.

>>27411

reminds me of Black Mirror episode 2.

>>27409

Read the shit you just posted. You're just as bad as the fucking feminists, a bizarro Johnatam McIntosh deriving constant attacks on your self, your beliefs your ideals from all works of fiction. It's a goddamn TV show not a fucking anti-consumerist movement, how retarded are you to even begin to believe people would see it in any other way other than entertainment?

>muh redpill

Jesus fucking christ, drive yourself crazy by trying to find shit that isn't there, convince yourself to hell and back that we're all still just a bunch of brainwashed fucks and drive yourself to suicide for all I care, but you're fucking deluded if you think that you're some kind of an enlightened being and that we're to pleb to "get it".

Not applicable at all, actually. It was just something too obvious to ignore.

>>27445

>Almost all TV shows currently propagate the "lgbt acceptance" narrative with various stilistic methods and forms.

Yes, this I don't get. Why is it now a thing to depict homosex intimacies? It appears they do it to be more "edgy", and that would play well with advertisers who want to target a profitable (i.e. gullible) audience. Perhaps it's a cultural thing, but I can't relate to this at all. Yes, gay ppl kiss and have buttsex. Should I be surprised? Is USA a giant incestuous bible belt or what?

>>27457

>Yes, this I don't get. Why is it now a thing to depict homosex intimacies?

They've been depicting heterosexual intimacies for decades. Homos need fan pandering too.

>>27457

>what is politics

It's like asking why movies were released around 2001/2003 where random terrurismu was fought by grorious ameriburgers.

Simple. War acceptance.

You have to understand how Hollywood works. Movies wich align with pentagon propaganda get huge benefits (military equipment for filming, funding, military advisors etc.), while movies who are opposing official narratives are destined to become independent alley productions which no one will watch.

Same goes for recruiting actors and everything else. Do you think a semi-popular actor would endanger his career by shoting a movie which is displaying how the world really works?

so what about the planet that didn't have gender and some native felt like a women and wanted to homosex riker which caused big trouble because the natives thought gender isn't related to how you feel?

>>27457

>It appears they do it to be more "edgy"

No it's because gay people have sex too. Would you get this annoyed if a guy and a girl were having sex? No? You solved your own question. You're an asshole.

>>27496

>Would you get this annoyed if a guy and a girl were having sex?

Yes, because having fucking inside a TV Show like Mr. Robot is not contributing much to the plot aside from stating "ey, oh, look, hes just another hormone canister!!! PLOT TWIST!!"

Every fucking movie/tv show is stuffed with fucking, so some plebs can relate to it who otherwise wouldn't.

>>27499

Then don't watch it?

There's ways around the surveillance. There's no way to stop a sex scene from appearing in a set show unless you skip it or don't watch it.

Stop pretending to be me.

Once upon a time, showing a toilet on TV was horrifying. So was showing couples of any kind sleeping in the same bed–I Love Lucy had the main characters sleeping in separate beds, even though they were married.

It's not really likely that there's some kind of Pentagon conspiracy; it's actually more likely that the people financing TV shows have decided that buttsex has passed through the "ew disgusting" phase and into the "I'll watch some more" phase. They figure, now is the schway spot between it being too shocking to keep the audience and not shocking enough to keep the audience.

You guys need to learn some game theory. A lot of shit that gets called conspiracy is just people making decisions to benefit themselves.

>>27503

that would a good argument if there was more than one internet or if mr robot is the only show on television.

but that's not the case

>>27512

The point he's trying to make, I think, is that whether or not you watch the show, it still has an effect on society.

>>27445

You sound like one of those feminists who can't see a white male character without going on a rant at this latest evidence of the patriarchy's machinations.

> Debugging's actually all about finding the bug, about understanding why the bug was there to begin with

I feel like the only way to know that is to have written code. I want to know who wrote this.

>>27389

Did you really just say "I know you are, but what am I?"

>>27415

I own that phone

>>27561

but that's not even true. Debugging is the art of managing not to kill yourself while you try to fix your shitty code.

>>27371

>Most coders think debugging software is about fixing a mistake, but that's bullshit. Debugging's actually all about finding the bug,

>A is not about B. A is actually about B

Hurr durr.

It's true some bugs may be deliberate, but they are more often than not human errors in the logic of the programs.

For example, you can speculate all you want about muh Heartbleed, but it could have always been the programmer fucking up with the keybindings of the editor and accidentally cloning the line above (in Vim it should be fairly easy, for example). Anything he said after "it's all about finding the bug" is 2deep4u garbage.

I wonder if people who agree with that have actually coded anything more than a Hello World in JavaScript CodeAcademy.

>>27564

lol I'm an old programmer. I occasionally even write a few hundred lines that work correctly on the first try. But I do remember learning that dealing with the rage is a critical debugging step.

>>27566

The first thing he says before he more or less goes off the rails is completely right. It took his first couple of sentences to mean that people who have never programmed think that fixing a bug means dealing with a known problem, but that the bulk of debugging is actually made up of finding the problem. That is true. And the excitement he is talking about is real.

I assume that you're going to question my credentials now, since I don't agree with you, so I'll just say that when I started programming qBasic was all the rage, and that I've been programming for a living for 15 years.

>>27569

s/It/I took…

>>27567

>I occaisionally even write a few hundred lines that work correctly on the first try

you are a god.

>>27569

Except he specifically says "most coders", meaning he is talking about being a superior programmer or some weird mumbo jumbo.

Anyone who has programmed anything over 100 lines of code and has gotten at least one runtime error in their lives knows you have to actually find the bug before fixing it, and that this process is often more frustrating than the act of fixing it.

I agree with him when he means that debugging is actually all about finding the bug, but I don't get why he said debugging is not about fixing a mistake. Finding the bug composes 90% of the process but the remaining 10% is what debugging is done for.

All in all, what he said at first was true, but it I think it is pretty clear the writers didn't know very well what the hell were they talking about. Definitely, some try hards trying to sound deep even though debugging is a topic more suited for jokes and puns.

>>27573

Yeah I agree with you there. He gives a factual statement up front and then descends into some kind of touchy-feely stuff which is too vague to be right or wrong. I really don't know what it meant.

>>27507

>If the bug was induced for instance by having assigned bicycle as a subset of car rather than as its own object, then you might deduce they have some level of disdain for bicycles, which on its own may not mean much, but it may also give you some insight into their politics and daily habits. A bike rider is unlikely to have made that kind of mistake, and bike riders tend to be more environmentally minded, politically left, and healthier than the average. You may be able to infer their future actions from this.

Just when I thought you were starting to make some sense…

>>27579

The fact that we're all "User" doesn't mean we're a hivemind. So far, only you don't understand that.

>>27577

Well if it's about understanding people that explains why I had no idea what he was talking about. Those are some good thoughts there pal

>>27577

>bike riders tend to be more environmentally minded, politically left, and healthier than the average

>assumptions

>>27577

Heartbleed was caused by a double goto. From this we can deduce that the person who committed the bug liked to repeat things twice, because he felt nobody listened to him when he said them only once.

A person who feels the need to repeat things twice feels insignificant, ignored by society. A zero in a sea of ones, so to speak. Perhaps this inner pain caused him to make a small mistake, or perhaps he did it on purpose to feel part of something big. Perhaps he just wanted to be relevant once in his life, no matter if it was for good or evil.

The other thing that it tells us is that he was a rebel or an old school programmer. He never listened to the people who explained why goto was considered harmful, so we can say old habits die hard.

Since he never stopped using goto, we can deduce he is a conservative person. Since he is a conservative, he doesn't use a bicycle, and therefore we can deduce he is obese. He also enjoys dumping toxic chemicals on rivers because he doesn't ride bikes.

This episode clearly showed that he was ignored.

>>27727

my fear exactly. If we've all guessed the big twist reveal by now, the show will be ruined and I'll gouge my eyes out in protest.

Just watched the show. Overall one thing stood out to me that bugged me, from episode 1.

This guy who has massive delusions/suspicions of being targeted by the illuminati/megacorps/whatever just plugs the address of the super sekrit hacker club he just visited in google and google maps to check it out? Even regular relatively non psychotic 8chan posters avoid google like the plague for any remotely important stuff.

Them mixing stuff up with the delusions is good though. Sometimes I'm convinced the guy's just hallucinating men in black and everyone around him acts like those men in black don't exist, other times they physically seize him onscreen and it blurs the lines a little. Keeps the viewer on their toes slightly.

Besides that the cinematography and soundtrack are okay. A little early to judge plot and characters since we're just 3 eps in counting the pilot.

>>27727

>I hope they will not tyler-durden

What, who?

>This episode clearly showed that he was ignored

What episode? He's been in all 3.

>>27736

>he just visited in google and google maps to check it out

He must've had ways to anonymize his googling, not that bad. The part where mr robot (aka fake liam neesen) says "you're not much use without a CPU" was way worse.

>calling a computer a CPU

>why is that backpack so big

>could stash a fucking giant

In fact, at the end of episode 3 elliot pops a laptop out of the same backpack. Whoah, he must've bought one when he was in the hospital.

>>27771

you still don't simply enter a correct address or name into google. not to protect yourself but to protect whatever you are looking up.

>>27796 or any search engine

Did you see the logo outside the 1337 h4x0r arcade place? It said "F Society". They are literally advertising themselves and I think this is going to bite them hard. When I saw it I was like "oh no."

>>27796

Fair enough. It didn't bother me enough to pause and analyze it, though. The hacking scene in the hospital otoh was hilarious.

>Narrating main character with admitted psychological problem and a past shaped by a dead father does illegal things to bad people who arguably deserve it to scratch a mental "itch" and keeps a memento for each person he targets after destroying all other evidence

# EPISODE 4 Discussion below #

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

I really, really, really hope that Elliot is not Mr Robot.

The whole thing with the key, maybe suggesting Elliot is a mechanoid running on a key, me no likey.

But the episode was nice in overall, reminded me of 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', what a trip.

Jesus this episode was so edgy. I'm 99% sure Elliot is Mr Robot.

Let's see people complain about the girls kissing like they did when the guys had sex.

They won't because it's something they like

The whole "character psychological examination" mixed with the surrealism and self-reference (especially with that commentary on "Hackers") felt very "NGE/Gainax" to me.

>>27906

>>27909

The possibility of Elliot being Mr. Robot is there, but it would be too much of an obvious twist that I think most viewers would probably groan if it happens. Then there'd be no one to watch season 2.

>>27911

I actually think that Mr. Robot being real would be bigger twist than if he was just a figment of his imagination. With nearly half of the last episode being devoted to Elliot's weird trip, it seems they're deliberately trying to confuse the viewer and blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.

The fish talking in Keith David's voice, then the cut (heh) to the fancy fish dinner was amazing. I also enjoyed the writer's self-awareness with that hackers watching TV scene. I can definitely feel an Anno-like vibe to it.

I like this wild ride and I'm curious where it will lead.

Okay, what the hell does the key represent?

In the 3rd episode, Mr Robot said to Elliot that he's the key to the whole operation, without him there's nothing. But Elliot is on the track with the operation, it's happening. So what is the symbolism?

Also, why are so many people involved with the key? Mr Robot, the little girl, Tyrell, Angela?

And what is Elliot's monster? Being completely alone?

>>27914

drugs and hacking

when that hackers scene played i was sure he would change his mind.

didn't quite get everything but isn't there a chance he could kill someone when blowing up the gas refinery?

>>27909

heh.

>>27914

idk, they left ep 4 on a real cliffhanger.

I liked it though. Especially the part where they said "I bet right now there's some writers putting down a script that will misinform an entire generation about hacker culture"

>>27979

that part tickled my autism the most because they are crackers, not hackers and hackers hate misusing the term hacker and SHEEEEEEIIIIIT

>>27981

well crackers don't really have a "culture" associated them, but hackers do, and that's the part that gets misinterpreted.

>>27982

nothing gets misinterpreted, they just use the word wrongly.

cracking is breaking in. hacking is using software/hardware in ways beyond it was purposed to do.

Can't wait to see how the whole dark army thing plays into things in future episodes.

>>27982

I used to say the word crackers a lot and correct others on the difference with hackers but got tired of it after way too many people thought I meant crackers as in white people

From then on I called them niggers instead, no problem

GODDAMMIT BOY STAY IN SCHOOL

>elliot gets offered raspberry pi during the dream sequence

>raspberry pi

i groaned

I re-watched the whole episode, and this part regarding the key stood out:

Mr Robot hands over the key to Elliot.

Elliot: "What's it open?"

Mr Robot: "It belongs to you now. Made in the orient. Made just for your head. Now, find your monster, then turn the key."

A wild guess. Elliot went back to find his monster, a monster into which the key would fit, but it wasn't his wrecked childhood, it wasn't Tyrell (representing corporate enslavement?), it wasn't Angela (representing normal lifestyle?), but the key fit (?) in the last part, of being alone. And when he did turn it, he woke up back in the room, with Mr Robot standing by, as his lost father figure, his only friend, his safety ("I'm not going anywhere, kiddo.").

So, what was the monster, then? I think it was himself. He isolated a part of his personality as it was too painful to bear, and now it got merged back into one. And he's good to go.

Obvious shill. Kill yourself and learn to shill like a god damn professional.

I caught that too. I went and looked it up and it seems that they now allow it to be pronounced that way. Probably just pronounced it "day-mon" so as to differentiate to the non-technical that he's not talking about satan.

So:

mr bonswaa and his wife are both speaking a different language. the wife is speaking fluent danish.

source: im danish

but her husband, bonswaa man, is either speaking norwegian or swedish, or some other scandinavian language. most likely swedish. just thought that was interesting to note.

>>28287

>mr bonswaa and his wife are both speaking a different language

huh, that's interesting. i just assumed they're both speaking swedish, as martin wallström (tyrell) is swedish. i remember rick falkwinge saying that norwegians and swedes can understand each other, but danes and swedes can't. is that true?

as a side note, the actress - stephanie corneliussen (joanna) - apparently is a danish model, and featured on the cover of nov2014 playboy; and used to date michael drayer (cisco) or something.

Tyrell, right, that was his name. Yeah I found him quite hard to understand which is why i thought it was Swedish because i can usually understand Norwegians.

And thanks for the photos too

here's the thing about whiteRose. some people suggest it's tyrell, and that does and doesn't make sense.

first, he has technical knowledge. second, longing for power. third, ability to scheme. fourth, physical presence at the site during the operation pretty much gives him away.

problem - what darkArmy accomplished with cisco's remix was to get access into AllSafe network. if this is part of the plan, why AllSafe? what can you do there to your benefit that you can't do elsewhere? doesn't it make more sense to go directly into E corp network? also, why pull out if all you have is access to AllSafe? why to work with fsociety, if their operation goes against your interests? unless you wanted to expose the members.

i'm suspicious that whiteRose could actually be joanna, tyrell's wife. she's getting weirder and weirder as it goes
