Re: Detroit: Become Human
Markus, the leader of the android rebellion, can "free" other androids from their programming by clasping their hands with his own and transmitting new programming to them. It's easy to see how this could be a real means of communication for androids and other machines someday. While it wo...

Re: Detroit: Become Human
In the episode where you investigate the scene after the android rebels make their renegade broadcast, one of the worker androids goes nuts, grabs a gun, and shoots five or six human cops dead in two seconds. Androids and robots will be incredibly fast and accurate with all weapons, including guns. ...

I played the episode where the emotionally volatile human detective puts a gun to the forehead of his android partner and threatens to shoot.

Re: Detroit: Become Human
I just played the episode where you investigate the murder in the android brothel. In spite of 15 years of price inflation between then and today, sex with an android only costs $1 per minute, which actually makes sense since they will work for free.
