Maybe, but a wider point is that the gambit also seemed to rely on Mark joining Lumon in the first place. Which seem like a jump for them to make.
Skavau@lemm.eeOPMto Television@lemm.ee•What's the worst example of a TV series or character within that series being flanderised as the seasons went on?English1·24 hours agoAlso what kind of cool twist would be Harmony Cobol waking up from a “coma” when she was fired without any knowledge of what she did for the last few years. Would tie really good with the “She’s Alive” at the end of the first season to show how Lumon has that power to disappear and reappear people.
Also I get the impression that (gunna use spoilers now):
spoiler
There was a bit of a rewrite with Harmony’s character. I don’t think she was originally written as the actual person who made the chips (who Lumon then stole the work from and reassigned her to be some middle-manager). Her actions and the company’s actions to her in S01 don’t make much sense in light of that plot reveal. She’d be a major risk to the company if somehow left off the leash… yet they just let her go just assuming she won’t reveal everything? What’s to stop her from driving straight to Mark in that moment and telling him all about Gemma?
(Although I have some misgivings beyond that regarding her S01 firing)
Skavau@lemm.eeOPMto Television@lemm.ee•What's the worst example of a TV series or character within that series being flanderised as the seasons went on?English1·1 day agoIt would be much more interesting Harmony Cobol was a promoted “innie” who now runs the persons entire life with the outie being hidden away forever. Now that is an interesting twist and a better satire.
I thought of this. Or at least for Milchick as a ‘self-made innie’ for someone who might not have grown up in Lumon.
It makes sense that Lumon would offer that kind of incentive ultimately for innies: take over your outties life.
Skavau@lemm.eeOPMto Television@lemm.ee•What's the worst example of a TV series or character within that series being flanderised as the seasons went on?English7·2 days agoI’m gunna go ahead and actually, in a way, say Severance. Despite its amazing acting, ending, cinematography and unique premise. Spoilers (general below) - the organisation behind it seems to be suffering from a kind of villain decay.
Severance S02 had a great and impactful ending that set the stage for S03, but Lumon itself as an organisation is still bizarre and barely explained. It got all the personal arcs of the main 4 right, but not the purpose behind Lumon (beyond them just being some dysfunctional cult). And I don’t mean Lumon is shrouded in mystery in the sense of leaving the user to wonder after being fed shreds, but the whole meta behind that organisation just seems like a complete mess. They’re global and powerful yet seem to exclusively reside in this single building with a management that consists of a half-dozen people purely circling around experimenting on two people. I could go on here if pressed. I want to know more about Lumon but it seems the writers are just focusing on “haha weirdo cult”, “milchick epic dancer” etc.
It’s set up as a weird combination and criticism of cults (it’s very scientology coded) and work culture in general but hasn’t really progressed much there.
Got it. I’ll add them as necessary.
Skavau@lemm.eeto Fedigrow@lemm.ee•Weekly thread - How are you doing with your communities?English8·3 days ago!television@lemm.ee had a downturn of new member growth, but suddenly surged in last 2 days (from like +5 in two days to +20). Still plugging away. Most posts get comments and engagement.
!obscuremusic@lemm.ee plugging away similarly. Obviously is much slower.
Skavau@lemm.eeto Fedigrow@lemm.ee•Potential consolidation of strategy video games communitiesEnglish2·3 days agoMaybe, but it’s still worth keeping both RTS and Turn based strategy on hold for when/if the community grows. I’d argue the optimum scenario is to double-post all strategy-game related posts to a “strategy” parent community, and then post as relevant to RBS/TBS
Skavau@lemm.eeto Fedigrow@lemm.ee•Potential consolidation of strategy video games communitiesEnglish6·4 days agoTbf Real time strategy and turn based strategy are different and could exist separately
RTS and Realtimestrategy are the same ofc
Skavau@lemm.eeOPto Fedigrow@lemm.ee•Hypothetical: Lemmyverse Categorisation SystemEnglish2·5 days agoSorry, yes. Communities. My head still uses “instances” to refer to “communities”.
Skavau@lemm.eeOPto Fedigrow@lemm.ee•Hypothetical: Lemmyverse Categorisation SystemEnglish1·5 days agoI’m building a big nesting system on the Piefed rn. In any tagging system you make I could literally cut and paste them to communities if you trust me to do that.
Skavau@lemm.eeOPto Fedigrow@lemm.ee•Hypothetical: Lemmyverse Categorisation SystemEnglish1·5 days agoWell a tagging system would just allow multiple tags. I suppose you could also build a tag hierarchy system.
Skavau@lemm.eeOPto Fedigrow@lemm.ee•Hypothetical: Lemmyverse Categorisation SystemEnglish1·5 days agoWell presumably this on Lemmyverse would just be a tagging system at core, right? Not a nesting system.
Skavau@lemm.eeOPto Fedigrow@lemm.ee•Hypothetical: Lemmyverse Categorisation SystemEnglish4·6 days agoYeah, got it. Thanks (as you know)
Skavau@lemm.eeOPto Fedigrow@lemm.ee•Hypothetical: Lemmyverse Categorisation SystemEnglish2·6 days agoAlso, when you return - I’ve identified a bug with nesting. If you’ve got a Discord or Matrix chat or something it’d be easier to show it in screenshots.

EDIT, oh you’re the dev of piefed lol. Well I assume you can see what I’m doing then
Skavau@lemm.eeOPto Fedigrow@lemm.ee•Hypothetical: Lemmyverse Categorisation SystemEnglish2·6 days agoNot sure if ur being sarcastic or not lol

Maybe. But I’d like it if we had a few more instances of severed disappeared people on the basement floor rather than just Ms. Casey to reflect that it’s something beyond just one person.
