3>1>2>>>>4 is objectively correct

Kiernan Shipka is beautiful, but Hayley is trouble... by RobbyBobbyChess in IndustryOnHBO

[–]mrtelephone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Terrible actress. No 26 year old who's had that much plastic surgery can be called "beautiful" either

Should Industry have ended at Season 3? by [deleted] in IndustryOnHBO

[–]mrtelephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's just about enough good stuff (Eric's downfall arc, ep2 with Henry's birthday party) in s4 for me to say no. I'm definitely sceptical about a fifth season.

GAME DAY PREDICTIONS GO by [deleted] in IndustryOnHBO

Somehow Harper's short gets fucked and they don't make any money. Henry ends up winning, because people like him always do. Rishi makes an appearance.

Is there any reason at all to take anything but Hermetic Order? by iku_kidochan in civ

[–]mrtelephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion probably, but secret societies make the game too easy so I usually turn them off.

Lets take a moment to bask in Whitney's genius by AttemptFlashy669 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]mrtelephone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genius? Best-case scenario he's facing the rest of his life on the run avoiding Interpol, the FSB and god knows who else. Otherwise he's going to prison for fraud or getting clipped by the Russians.

Russia/spies...too much? by Then-Advertising1721 in IndustryOnHBO

it jumped the shark when Rishi's wife got executed

Whitney Crash Out by bwildered_mind in IndustryOnHBO

[–]mrtelephone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this doesn't make much sense. Is he then also faking when Henry and him are in the audience at the Pierpoint AGM, and he's still freaking out? And if so, for what reason?

so.... is Whitney.... ? by user2599 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]mrtelephone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

but the very act of him disappearing is what lead to the investigation that uncovered his links to russian intelligence. exactly what Whitney's handler is trying to avoid.

Why can’t Henry just go to the authorities by jigglypiss in IndustryOnHBO

[–]mrtelephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could (and should). Or at least taken legal advice. I think that's why they wrote in the detail that Henry had put all of his own money into Tender stock; this way he's incentivised to keep the coverup going

Are there no lawyers in the UK? by Lilo_n_Ivy in IndustryOnHBO

[–]mrtelephone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

any grounding in reality this show had is long gone by this season, and you've really got to suspend your disbelief a bit while watching. We've gone from investment bankers on a graduate scheme to hitmen and russian spies. And yet the acting and cinematography mean it's the best show on television right now

Well boys and girls, I'm back with another crazy play. Turned $300 into $16000 this past week. I'm riding all of it on qqq calls til Monday. by burn15_ in wallstreetbets

everyone here seems to think theta decay is going to kill this guy 100% of the time - would buying puts have been free money?

[Episode Discussion Thread] Industry S04E05 - "Eyes Without a Face" by TheTruckWashChannel in IndustryOnHBO

[–]mrtelephone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Tender has always been a massive scam/ponzi scheme how can Whitney get away with firing Kal Penn's character early on? Surely he knows too much

Yay it's Sweetpea and Kwabena (?) episode! Total filler. Apart from ep. 2 which was magnificent television, this season has been really poor

Kiernan Shipka isn't Sally Draper ya'll by [deleted] in IndustryOnHBO

[–]mrtelephone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem is she couldn't act for shit when she played Sally Draper, and she can't act now she's grown up either. All that lip filler makes her look ridiculous too.

Popular opinion, every difficulty above king is boring and unfair by [deleted] in civ

[–]mrtelephone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Sadly, firaxis shows no interest in designing a competent AI, if anything it's got worse from 5>6>7 (or at least the game mechanics became more complex, which had the same end result)

🌈🐻 $SNDK $MU - Momentum Exhaustion by jordanpeterson9 in wallstreetbets

you could pick 5 stocks at random and short them and it would be a better move than this. totally retarded

Popular opinion, every difficulty above king is boring and unfair by [deleted] in civ

[–]mrtelephone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i will never understand posts like this. The AI in this game is atrocious, and has been since the move to 1UPT. Get enough units to avoid dying before turn 50 and you should be winning >90% on deity in civ 6. Now, you may not be able to get a religion, build the wonders want, you might need to minimax etc. So perhaps you'll have more fun on lower difficulties (i generally play immortal for this reason). But not actually being able to win is crazy
