Let's Play Uplink OS Episode 7 - The Place That You Go When You Die

I don't know how obvious it was by me constantly taking missions to destroy systems, but I was stalling and waiting for the main story to finally start. I don't know if Uplink OS pushed it ahead by a few days or what but it feels like it took way longer to happen :shepface:

It is totally legitimate procrastination to look for smash corporation jobs when-
A: You won't take hacker hunting because you are a good boy.
B: You can't take server theft without hating life because your computer is so tiny.

Such things are what made me go "Eh, gently caress it. Let's rob a bank!" when I realized I could barely fit saved voice clips into my "CPU, yes. Memory, no" shitbox anymore :v:

Don't forget, if you want to cheese the whole 'being traced thing', get the remote-control gateway. They can't arrest you if they can't find you. :D

Cheating at a raffle? I sentence you to 1 year in jail! No! Two years! Three! Four! Five years! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Wait, this has a plot beyond drunkenly raving about capitalism?

Let's Play Uplink OS Episode 8 - How To Fix Dan's Bullshit

I do not at all remember how LANs work, so the first time we hit one is going to be a trip.

Nice job skipping past the email saying your Neuromancer rating hit Morally Bankrupt. You monster! :moreevil:

In fairness, it's a lot harder to make enough money legitimately to be able to do everything than to hit up the 'trace a recent balance transfer' and just make off with like a cool couple million.

In all honesty, I'm surprised just putting some charges on and getting a person arrested is enough to pass the "completely ruin a life" requirement. I was thinking you'd have to wipe their academic achievements as well.

So, instead of bringing down capitalism, Dan decided to sell out completely. Why am I not surprised?

Dan can sell out as much as they want, if it means we get to keep seeing them screw with personal and criminal data :allears:

Academic record jobs dry up super hard, but demands to frame people keep coming in nonstop. Like for fun experiment "I backed up my save and the entire plot came and went without me, by the time I got three academic record jobs" dry up. I can only assume once I got my rank high, Uplink didn't figure it worth bothering to list most chump change missions anymore.

Smashing corporations is very important, but all file servers look the same :sigh:

I turn into a merry prankster when I get drunk. Sure it's probably not super funny to those people NOW, but I'm sure once they get to the police department and the officer has to read off all 20 charges of "Dicks too fuckin big" they'll probably get let go or something. Plus it's not like anyone actually USES SSNs right so those edits are all a wash

I'm a good person :mad:

Days to weeks after they're arrested, the cops finally get around to reading about why. Any release is immediately put on hold as IT and PR are called. Another week or two passes, as everything is worked out in secret. The people are finally released.

They've missed rent.

They've missed payments.

They've been fired.

When they try to apply for unemployment benefits they're told that the system doesn't recognize their social security number, and that social security fraud is a very serious crime.

It's okay though money is more important than people anyway.
