well....
Ragatha mommy
>>152968732not yet she aint
>>152968734a cute
>YOU DON'T UNDER MUH MEDIA LITERACYFags, this show isn't that fucking deep. Get off your high horse.
>>152968768Basic comprehension of the show’s themes which are stated and restated over and over isn’t impressive, but arguing they aren’t there is less than impressive.
>>152968768>got btfo in the last thread, so now he cries here
>>152968764*a slut
>>152968776What are you on about? How is Caine living in anyway connected to this?>>152968781It's not my fault you fags lost your shit because someone thinks bringing back characters from the dead is retarded.
>>152968734Damn bratty jester!!! Needs torture correction...
>>152968817i'd love to put that freak in her place.
>>152968796Well, it’s possible
>>152968863Damn, Ragatha's mother looks like THAT?
>>152968799The entire show posits that communication and empathy is how to improve the conditions around you and grow as people. Caine is THE dramatic test/tension of the story, an entity with his own tragic inner life that feels an existential responsibility to others but with seemingly no way to understand or be understood.The show constantly telegraphs that climactic test, via Pomni’s unique consideration of Gummigoo’s inner life, Kinger’s advice to her about making someone feel like they’re nothing being the worst thing you can do, Pomni’s fear dream of falling into the abyss before the others catch her, Ragatha’s people pleasing fears, Gangle’s mask, Kinger’s two way street speech, Caine through Abel begging for her to make the right choice (her body is designed red and blue)… Caine’s situation has been a constant dripfeed through the entire show, and he functions as the climax of the core theme. Him being accidentally deleted does not actually address what was set up.
>>152968863The POV shot in Ragatha’s nightmare is so cool. I love you you can see the knife sticking out as the camera tilts up toward that really awesome looking Ragamom silhouette leaning over the table.
>>152968888Do you just want to pretend that Caine didn't tortured everyone near the end of episode 8?>But he's misunderstood.Not an excuse. Do you seriously think that if you were tortured for months you would want the guy torturing you to be spared because he had a tragic upbringing?
>>152968799I'd tell you to just wait and see, but I have a feeling like you forget about anything not immediately in your sight within 30 seconds, so that would be pointless.
>>152968912Ragatha's sequence make me feel bad, she sorta lets the knives hit her after she comes to realize what that figure is (its the most kino scene too)
>>152968863i like that the daggers are a representation of pointed words being thrown at ragathaall the theories about her mother literally throwing knives at her and gouging out her eye are retarded>>152968942don't bother, he's been at this for at least 6 threads, you cannot change an autists mind
>>152968768The only people who talk like this are triggered as fuck, just pipe down and enjoy your woke tranny show my chud friend.
>>152968942The other characters had crash out sequences before the hand was outstretched. Gangle’s power trip and Jax’s joker speech hurt others, but the show doesn’t preach an eye for an eye, but understanding.Caine’s inner issues are heightened and more dramatic/consequential because he is the climactic adversary to the core concept of the series. He is a broken person thrust into a role he cannot perform well in. His tragedy is everyone else’s tragedy.Yes, I expect the final hour to reframe how the characters see Caine, and restoring him will be a literal necessity to continue existing in the circus. Reaching him is the most sensible dramatic climax of the series.
>>152968972Is this the game guy going on about "irony poisoning" because people thought Caine saying I am God way gay? Cause it kind of was.He could've said something themed around circus's n shit, but no, they nedded to make a refferance to the spooky sonic.
>>152968980you know, if the timing had been different we could have got a shitload of kinger/scratch yaoi
>>152968972>>152968988When you can’t engage with the ideas, you instead deflect to the messenger.
>>152968988>Caine saying 'I AM GOD' is a reference to Sonic.exeThis is masterful; you're very good at this.
>>152968942You're a simple guy, huh?
>>152968988i dont know if they're the same, just that he's been spamming that same shitty theory a while and in that exact typing style. i think he thinks he's going to get a special gold star if he guesses right or something, but even if he is correct no one will like him for it because he is an unpleasant person.
>What is the finale was about fixing the autistic AI who already died instead of the humansok
>>152969009What if more than one thing can happen? Wouldn't that be crazy?
>>152969009No, the finale is testing the idea “can you find meaning in a stagnant life by connecting with others and putting in the effort to build each other up”. Caine just happens to be the most obvious proxy to facilitate that climactic question.
dw the teeth ai returns in s2
>>152969008If engaging with what the series is saying makes you upset, that’s on you.
Caine returning but having to work WITH humans instead of ABOVE them thus also being liberated from his own stagnant life along with everyone else through cooperation, is so transparently the endgame I am genuinely floored we are even having this discussion.
guys i think there's a real malfunctioning ai in the thread
It’d be crazy if the Soma theory is false and Gooseworx just led us to believe it was true.
>>152969039I didn’t think it would be controversial either.
>>152969039Okay, but have you considered:Caine was mean while having a mental breakdown?
>>152969045Give it up tronchud. Accept that tron will continue to have zero cultural impact.
>>152969056He was, just like Jax. Both will have to answer to that.
>>152969023Too many open plot points as is, shouldn't be adding more.>>152969026>putting in the effort to build each other upWhich Caine never did.> the most obvious proxy to facilitate that climactic questionIs Jax.
>>152969039No, all that is gonna get thrown out the window because Caine was a big meanie >:(
>>152969060Hasn’t it already had cultural impact?
>>152969070>Which Caine never did.Which neither side did in the Caine/Human relationship, hence the gaping hole that lingers over Episode 9.>Is JaxJax will also have to be resolved in the hour long finale. No, he does not function as a replacement for Caine’s role.
>only 1 more episode and the circus is over foreveri do not like this prospect even if its been known to us for a long while now
>>152969081Such as?
Where was all this concern for Caine before he died? Hypocrites...
>>152969088Oh naive anon. You seriously believe a cash cow like this will go unmilked?
There's no way this account is official, right?>Casually revealing the names of Scratch and Kinger>Reveals the order in which they entered the circusIt might be more believe if it wasn't speed running through all of it
>>152969091Nobody before thought he was gonna get outright murdered.
>>152969091Present.
>>152969098In-universe they wouldn't call it Caine. Caine is what he called himself.>Reveals the order in which they entered the circusGoose revealed it before.
>>152969093i believe it. but i also believe i shouldnt pay my taxes or change my engine oil so make what you will of that
>>152968990I've seen a fair bit of it on twitter (with Caine framed as jealous in most of them lol). There's a shocking amount of Scratch porn in general.
>>152969113>caine is the blue ai>blue ai is bubble>bubble killed his 'brother' the red aivery good, goose
Tron was in Kingdom Hearts and it gave us both a great Daft Punk album and the last Manic Pixie Dreamgirl before they were murdered by woke. Tron a Best.
>>152969098Nah. If they do an ARG they would start it around may, not less than one week after the release of episode 8
>>152969113>they wouldn't call it CaineRight, that's another red flag >Goose revealed it beforeGoose says a lot of things, you expect me to keep up?!
>>152969081Being a major success in independent animation? Last I remembered Glitch was that SMG4 stuff.The manga that was created.That one meme of Pomni at the table and a bunch of memes. Idk why you even responded to my comment.
>>152969127just more proof furries are terrifying
>>152969091Caine was always my favorite non-coom character.
I can forgive Kinger making the circus and getting his wife killed, Ragatha micromanaging other’s emotions and not letting people in, Gangle’s powertrip, Pomni abandoning Ragatha for the exit, Jax fucking with every person and throwing people into deep-friers, Zooble asking to be referred to as a they, but don’t ever EVER ask me to consider Caine, he’s a meany head.
>>152969129Its so funny how you guys both lust after and despise quirky girls with random hair colors. Got a real kick out of that AI scene girl that took off with groypers.
>>152969150its like makeup. if you can pretend it's not artificial and the girl naturally looks like that, then it's not woke. somehow.
>>152969136>Idk why you even responded to my comment.NTA but "Soma theory" means "the Circus characters are brainscan copies" while "Tron theory" means "the Circus characters are their IRL selves but digitized." Thus, the cultural impact of Tron vs Soma is a proxy for "where are everyone's IRL bodies right now?"
They just need to find their digivices
>>152968863gangle's hellscape was lame. just a slideshow and a jumpscare. should have done something with how much of a pushover she is, like creating a situation where the slightest move causes pain to very many people while two figures of authority bark contradicting orders at her.
this human pomni is the best
>>152969150It's fine for a woman to be quirky and have random hair colors. It is not fine for her to be pro child genital mutilation, or to consider Lara Croft being attractive to be a form of rape while actively preventing inquiries into who, specifically, is doing the vast majority of IRL rape. Hope that clears things up.
As an apology to Caine when they resurrect him, every Circus member should be legally obligated to provide Caine expert level head.I don't think there will be any issues with Ragatha, Kinger and Zooble providing this service but Pomni, Jax and Gangle might need a few attempts to get it right.
>>152969173I want to brush her hair
>>152969180Caine will be the one apologizing when it clicks what he’s done.
>>152969186#CaineDidNothingWrong
Pomni, you’re the sweetest jester I know, and you’re too blind to see this A.I made up his mind.
>>152969204A character as tragic as he is dead.
>>152968988he literally is god though, he built the entire circus from nothing
>>152969060Iger...
>>152969088You’re forgetting how it’ll live on through non-canon merch ads
caine in 1 minute did way worse things than Jax in 8 episodes
>>152969175That is a really good impression of an asmongold fan
Ragatha’s pathological people pleasingGangle’s failed ambitions and challenges with managing othersJax’s external validation complex and need to performKinger’s mental blockagesZooble’s endless options but no solutionsBy your powers combined I am Caine AI
>>152969091
>>152969243That is a really good impression of a retard who doesn't know how the world works.
>>152969224So, temporary
>>152969113>>Reveals the order in which they entered the circus>Goose revealed it before.pretty sure she hasn't, source?
>>152969253You are complaining about foids in a TADC thread on /co/, you are no worldly scholar.
>>152969240Not for lack of trying
>>152969175Anon we don’t post truth nukes here.
>>152969263Surely there are no women on here? What do they get out of it?
>>152969249you forgot pomni, living in florida
>>152969263Ever since they learned about conjuring, all of the circus members have gotten really hot
>>152969289Pomni is the special ingredient because she is the healthy high EQ character that elevates everyone else.
Where do i find a TADC obsessed gf? Do i have to go outside?
>>152969319A clown jester isn’t going to fall from the sky and try to fix you in real life if that’s what you’re asking.
>>152969321this one is an unjust world
>>152969321God, I am so happy we are just a few years away from the AI takeover. Everyone should grow up with a personal AI jesterwife.
>>152969263I now identify as Ragatha’s chair and you will respect my identity
Does anyone have the screenshot of that anon who really succinctly broke down Caine's tortures as rebuttals to the group's criticisms? I can't fucking find it
>>152969319Why dont you just get a cute boyfriend instead
>>152969329>Sora just diedlol
I just want a hug from Ragatha, is that really too much to ask?
>>152969339https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/152923482/#152924242
>There is a TADC thread on /qw/Lmao, which one of you made that thread?
>>152969357Ehh a lot of these are huge reaches, the only legit one was Ragatha's and thats just taken from a twitter post pointing out the same thing.
>>152969321But I'm a tall loser like Jax and i work with keys a lot at my job.
>>152969351OpenAI is moving most of their compute over to training whatever the Spud model is, but you are correct in the sense that NVIDIA and all western AI companies deserve to fail and the only player making serious pro-consumer moves is China. However, that is probably too much for people who only care about AI bad, so feel free to make a water joke or whatever it is you people do while the world moves on.
>>152969363>/qw/qweenz?
>>152969363I don't even know what that is.
>>152969357Cheers anon
>>152969370Did you lose money investing in the metaverse
>>152969363i looked around and there is one in the wrestling board. makes sense though because i think kinger is a badass
>>152969356Fictional characters give the best imaginary hugs.
The only thing I don't like about this episode is that it's split the fandom again and I now have to put up with sharing a space with retards for another three months
>>152969383Of course not, and there is a reason China didn't make any serious attempt to either compared to their sustained attempts to replicate LLMs.
>>152969383No, but I lost my land in the metaverse.
>>152969393Yeah, I hate having to share this thread with retards that feel bad for Caine.
>>152969402>>152969397All my apes are gone...
>>152969393Same branch of retardation that thought Ragatha was a master manipulator
>>152969390Isn’t it canon that Ragatha, out of everyone in the circus, gives the best hugs?
>>152969393Three whole months of concern trolling over Caine until his return
>>152969412Turns out she's just an irrelevant background character.
>>152969424Yep, confirmed (not that it really had to be).
>>152969393I know, There are retards who think Caine isn't gonna return. It's all so tiresome.
Ragatha apologizing for not being able to intertwine your fingers when you hold her hand.
>>152969437How can you be so sure? I could see it going either way
>>152969446Taking a pair of scissors to her hands so she can get her wish.
>>152969446cant put a ring on her vena amoris....
These are probably the same people who were insistent that Caine wasn’t going to do anything bad to the cast a month ago.
>>152969446Me taking out my seam ripper and altering her to my liking while she pretends she's not in pain to avoid displeasing me
>>152969451No bulli
>>152969453Get her a choker instead
>>152969448Because I'm conjuring that outcome.
>>152969260Goose answered this in 2023, also at some point mentioned Zooble was the newest member before Pomni. This only leaves Jax and Gangle after Rags.
The moon’s gonna be pissed
>>152969522oh yeah lolalso she said somewhere that jax named gangle sokinger>ragatha>jax>gangle>zooble>pomniwe just don't know about any of the abstracted (other than the devs)
So Caine was never even designed to create adventures?
>>152969552Not completely clear yet.
>>152969528I think the moon is dead
>>152968768The show not be deep, but you're why warning signs were invented
>>152969579and what of good shrimp?
>>152969581I feel like any NPC or creation that wasnt made by Bubble directly is either deleted or soon to be deleted.
I have a small TADC pin on my jacket and some guy came up to me today sperging out about it and turns out he’s hardcore MAGA. I honestly had no idea right wingers watched this type of shit
>>152969588Could cut all the dialog before>wait where are they?Everything else is unnecessary and over explains the joke.
Everyone likes good cartoons.
>>152969605It teaches empathy, the worst sin
>>152969605It always makes me laugh when people think right wingers are aliens or something.
Pinch me your idea for an TADC video game.
>>152969605You'd be surprised >>152969588If you do the math, kinger's chronological age is 65-67 and ragatha is 39, assuming it's 2017
>>152969647A Point and Click adventure game in the style of The Neverhood is probably the most thematically appropriate. Add dating sim elements if you really want the fanbase to go crazy.
>>152969611>yet another victim of the pseudophilosophy "le brevity is the le soul of wit"
>>152969647A Sims clone where you're basically in caine's role
>>152969588
Listening to The One Who's Running the Show in various other languages with subtitles, I am kind of floored at how much does get lost in translation. Weebs were right all along.

>>152969605They dont have any good chud shows to watch so they have to cope and watch woke stuff.
peeled jax confirms he's made of rubber/silicone, furfags btfo
AM was a human mind trapped in a state between being alive and dead. A thinking being doomed to never be able to directly interact with the world, never know the taste of food, the feeling of sun against the skin or what it is like to run your hand through water.Basically what I am saying is that Caine is every bit as much of a human as anyone else in the cast, and he will be back.
>>152969701...THE HATS
>>152969647The TADC equivalent of Evangelion 2 for the PS2. Social link simulation game with divergent scenarios that entertain plausible alternate outcomes, with routes for each character. The various adventures can mix up the gameplay but the real draw is the authentic writing and what-if stuff.
>>152969702>This is severely counter to “Gnostic” teachings which focus on escaping this false reality because there’s a much better place out there.one of the most basic teachings is that the kingdom is withineh, whatever
>>152969393I'm not sad for Caine's fate, I just wish he could be part of the finale.
>>152969711TADC isn’t woke. Or if you have to place it on a spectrum, it’s about 2% woke.
>>152969740It's 100% woke by virtue of being made by a tranny
>>152969705Wow that game was rarity; an original mac game that had to be ported to pc instead of the other way around.
>>152969751The art is not the artist.
>>152969424Yes. It's also canon that she's the only human who hasn't given or received one yet (unless you count kinger twirling her around)
>>152969756shit was cash and so was that top-down shooter called deimos rising (super based)
>>152969611>"ME HATE READING. TOO MUCH WORD MAKE BRAIN HURT."
>>152969758Leftys will never understand this. The moment the human who creates something doesn't toe the current political line all creations become tainted by ideology, because something objective can contradict the subjective group morality, which is a threat to the power structure.
I'm happy to tell you that there is more than one picture of Jax cosplaying as Jax. On the other hand, I couldn't find any images of Jax cosplaying as Jax.
>>152969795im gonna miss that funny nalgon
>>152969729Does this come with the ability to make Jax punch the wall in his room which makes his stats go down?
>>152969740>there is nothing woke about my tranny show with nonbinary charactersEvery time I see a chud say this shit it gets funnier
>>152969813Naturally
>>152969816i say this then i say shit like "i wanna impregnate zooble!"
Episode 9 ending.
Yeah i feel like everything they said to caine can be said about Jax, including what Jax said.
>>152969816Zooble existing doesn’t make the show woke. The “wokest” the show gets is the therapy scene which was handled tastefully, and everyone unambiguously respecting her pronouns which is at least underplayed and not distracting.
So why did Caine's program make Kinger a chess piece?
>>152968863You just know pomni will be masturbating forever to her vision.
>>152969816Every time I see you, it gets more pathetic.
>>152969825why is jax there
>>152969853Because it's his show.
>>152969679i wanted the little pink one cuz it funny but i rolled high and got the "rare" one
>>152969832Jax will play an instrumental role in redeeming Caine.
>>152969833>it cant be woke because I enjoy it!Funniest cope
>>152969853Every character will live together in peace and harmony by the end.
>>152969552No, kinger says he was a generative ai but the intro clip suggest he swallowed the blue dot abel, the feedback ai but only got the need for validation from it since a feedback ai learns from feedback.
>>152969835cuz hes a king and hes white and white moves first so thats why he manuged to get the drip on caine. its all starting to make sense now
Everyone in TADC is binary, they're all computer data.
>>152968863
>>152969816>Tranny show >Calls others chud??????
>>152969871No, it’s not woke and I enjoy it. The two tend to be correlated. Not sure why you’re getting a power trip over pretending the show is something it isn’t.
>>152969835Because Kinger FUCKS
>>152969835Because he's a white king who got his black queen
>>152969912>>152969871
I, a chud, for one don't accept that zooble is a tranny but do think jax is a tranny.
Ragatha eats pizza like this
>>152969932Keep coping weirdo. The series is tasteful, with universal appeal and themes. It isn’t culture war slop.
Caine is dead, the censorship is gone, and they have the ability to manifest.First order of business: Everyone gets butts!
Ragatha is AryanNo, I will not explain.
>>152969835His capabilities are limited but he’s the most important piece in the game
>>152969957>my tranny show is NOT woke!lol
>trannyworx thinks this is a gotcha to people calling the TADC algorithmslop>in reality hes admitting he was raised on the internet and all his interests are composed entirely of whatever the algorithm feeds him pottery
>>152969977
>>152969972It’s not a tranny show, and it isn’t woke. Turns out some people can make art that isn’t about their culture war positions or sexual identity, what a novel concept.
>>152969552his decisions and excuses for making them are arbitrary that’s why toying with everyone has been so destructive and no one involved feels safe
>>152969977It’s an amalgamation of disparate elements that work well together. It’s cool that it’s directed by Goose’s personal voice.
>>152969997>t’s not a tranny show, and it isn’t wokelol
>>152969997Dana could never
>>152968739was this the chainsaw man ending everyone's pissy about
>>152969997>it isnt a tranny show!>I mean sure one of the main characters has a gender dysphoria plotline and the one young male in the group is constantly forced feminized...>BUT ITS NOT A TRANNY SHOW OK???
>>152969997Bro, he's just baiting you. He already knows it's a good show but can't admit it because of his tranny obsession.
>>152970063>and the one young male in the group is constantly forced feminized. Femboys are woke now?
>>152969958Ragatha already gave herself one seconds after learning they could conjure
>>152970063Zooble’s arc was handled tastefully in universal terms that can broadly apply to anyone with body dysmorphia or who’s dissatisfied with how they look (ugly, short, fat, etc), and Jax’s maid outfit was a humorous way for Gangle to get back at him (very anime brained) while hinting at Jax’s deeper issues of fearing the perception of others. You’re being very reductive.
>>152970077Trannies and femboys are interchangeable nowadays. Nooseworx dm’d a minor on Discord btw
>>152969587Shrimptown confirmed
My name is Caine, and I am your bitch.
>>152970073I guess. Some people can’t have fun without scoring points for their /pol/ team.
I remember when traps were a part of classic 4chan culture, but now they are "woke" and rejected for retarded reasons.
>>152970100>Nooseworx dm’d a minor on Discord btwBased
>>152970063>TRANNY SHOW TRANNY SHOW YWNBAAAAWkay, now what?
>>152969638These are low key some of the worst types of people though. Middle to upper middle class, right-leaning and open because they're comfortable lemmings who like the status quo, all their views come from living in their mom's basement their whole lives so they never experience the actual struggle of the poorer and disprivileged parts of society. "Openness" meaning complete lack of actual convictions or strong beliefs. These types of people are the real reason that fascists are in power right now. Not because of any particular hatred, but because you could step on them with a boot and they would grunt, maybe whine a bit, but then say "this is ok" and just lay there.
>>152970133Simple, just stop liking it. Please stop liking it now, I hate that people like this trash so just stop. Please?
>>152970124Traps and trannies aren't the same thing and you will never be a woman.
Bubble JOI.
>>152970134A lot of words to say "kill those who disagree".
>>152970063>and the one young male in the group is constantly forced feminized...Didn't Gooseworx state that it's because that's literally her fetish irl or something?
>>152970045Yes.
>>152970146NTA, but did he touch a nerve?
>>152970073Its both a good show and a woke tranny show, I'm sorry this is a struggle for you.
>>152970134That’s certainly a man of straw to get angry about.Political radicals of both sides are very romantic people and tend to have a stronger connection to fiction.
>>152970139You’re the problem, go to a different thread.
>>152970153>Its both a good showI stopped reading there. I'm glad we both agree.
>>152970124???Which side do you think rejected "traps"? It's the side that kicks people out of cons for asking "Are traps gay?" because it hurts the trannies' feelings, you retard.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfDeJew843o
>>152970146Calm down and go enjoy the Brooklyn fresh air, Bulkin
>>152970153The only one who seems to be struggling is you. It’s not woke, or at the very least I do not perceive it as such. You don’t get to tell me what I see, sorry.
>>152970146No, we don't want to kill you ffs. But that's another feature of your clouded worldview, you are lazy and hate change, so any deviation from your comfortable, zero energy existence is super scary and virtually the same thing as death to you. What we want to do is open your eyes and drag you kicking and screaming into what the rest of us are dealing with every day, so that you don't end up voting the next Hitler into power. Again.
>>152970152There is a subtype of people I find somewhat annoying, I won't deny it. Liberalism will always be preferable to the weird power fantasies of the terminally online.
>>152970124>Retarded off-siter thinks traps and trannies are the same thinglol
>>152970170>its not wokeYes it is lol, its a woke tranny show made by a cast of woke trannies
>>152970145Go on
>>152970185Huh?
>>152970171It must be tough thinking that bush 3.0 (obama was 2.0) is literally hitler.
>>152970193>Bubble gargling noise
>>152970145Goose JOI
>>152970185No matter how many times you insist, it will not be so.
>>152970145Fuck you, give me Ragatha JOI where she starts by apologizing about not being cute or sexy enough and then ends by wondering if I need a glass of water to rehydrate myself
Yeah yeah, themes of the show and all that, but have you considered that the characters and narrative rejecting the themes of the show and writing Caine off as a broken robot that they're glad they don't have to put up with anymore, never discovering his inner turmoil, would be really, really funny?
>>152970228No, i haven't considered that because it would be too tragic for me to bare.
>>152970228>Yeah yeah, love and acceptance and all that… except FUCK clankersIt’s a little funny
Why is the show trying to make Kinger/Ragatha a thing, but Kinger's best moments are still mostly with Pomni?
Just because I love trannies does not make me woke
>>152969729>>152969908Speaking of Eva, did we ever get around to finishing that list of media recs that TADC was based off of?
>>152970236Tragic things happening to clankers is funny. They're just goyi-I mean, clankers, no one who's an actual person should care.
Ragatha is not trans she is 100% all natural cotton woman

>>152968734Hourglass figure...
I've only skimmed this thread but if the final test of the show's themes and the casts' growth is meant to be Jax, that'd be lame as fuck. We already saw them basically forgive him for everything in 8. It can't just be an hour of the group trying to stop Jax from throwing himself into the Void and then Kinger goes, "oh yeah, we're just scans of brains".
>>152970282That's not an hourglass figure those are just her shorts.
>>152970289I agree. Closure with Jax is important to the finale but it’s not “story anchor of the final hour” material.
>>152970295They made her curvier in the newest episode.
>>152970307That's still not an hourglass figure.
>>152970307Definitely looked that way to me.
>>152970208What would it be like?
>>152970109>Taking them all to Shrimptown was part of Bubble’s original plan to get rid of Caine, he just didn’t think they’d hit the wrong button>Jax really did fuck everyone over
Pomni be like "Dang Rags save some boob for me too."
>>152970316Skull drilling ASMR and strained vocal instructions
is Dungeons & Dragons really that fun? I don't know how to fucking roleplay
Goose personally told me that Caine is not coming back.
Goose personally told me that Caine is coming back.
>>152970330Goose personally told me that she thinks you smell bad.
>>152970326Couldn’t tell ya, I only played one session and I was too autistic to be invited back.
>>152970314It's a 1-second hourglass
Goose personally told me that everybodys favourite clown Kaufmo is coming back!
>>152970326Its fun but requires friends so most of you all are out of luck.
>>152970326Just play pretend. Like did you not play with toys as a child? Its literally just that. Jesus fucking Christ. >picrel
Goose personally told me that TADC will not end in a happy ending
>>152970278I remember the list started out as just aa list of stuff that was pretty plain to see as the stuff that inspired TADC, but having a bunch of "TADC-likes" after the fact makes sense
>>152970375It’s evolved into kind of a moodboard

>>152970315This makes me wonder if you could exercise in the digital world. Obviously, it wouldn't change your physical appearance, but would you still get the mental benefits that come from exercising?
>>152969620out of touch lmao, very out of touch. Complacency and permissiveness are not empathy.
>>152969620That is a pretty nice Ragatha humanization
>>152970408lol
Why did she say that?
>>152970134this but with rainbow capitalism and progressives.
>>152970171this is cartoonishly naive and conceited. typical though, for those that live in fantasy to see themselves as the hero and everyone else as the unenlightened mass is needing salvation. You guys are the rainbow version of evangelists.
>>152968863Hitting Zooble with the Room of Body Dysmorphia.
>>152970171Crazy how there's still elections after voting "Hitler" into power.
Talk about the gay little circus show you twerps.
>>152970495That's what I came here for, but then fags started going on about how the show is actually super woke and the right is literally hitler.
marry and reproduce
>>152968709This show is highly satanic because it was made by a trannysexualised and they killed GOD
>>152970505I don't care.
>>152970478Just like trying to argue with Cain, you cannot argue with Evangelical zealots. they legitimately think they are here to help you even as crime statistics and sociopolitical lies are through the roof. they will tell you they know what your best interests are while hand waving any of your concerns about not even being able to take the subway to work. or the litany of other lunchtime rowdies. You can do any amount of evil with these people as long as you paint a rainbow on top of it. I can't even imagine how they would operate in the digital circus. Like Zooble but more obnoxious and conceited.
>>152970516Caine isn’t God thoughbeit
>>152970045>popular manga has a shitty endingWHAT A SURPRISE
>>152970124The difference between traps and trannies is in the name. Traps are men who know they're men. If you aren't passable as a trap, then you aren't a trap, you're just a manly freak in a dress. It's just a fetish to them.Trannies are men who demand everyone to ignore the fact that they don't pass as a woman. They make it a lifestyle. 4chan liked traps. It has NEVER liked trannies.
Do you think if I manifest cotton into ragatha I could shake her into a curvy figure
>>152970446>>152970171"If you don't agree with my perfect and flawless world view, the only reason is that you're stupid and I have to save you from yourself"I used to think these idiots would grow up, but we're reaching a point where they're 30+ years old and I've just accepted that there's going to be a whole lot of incoherent screeching coming from nursing homes in the next couple of decades. It's going to be so fucking weird hearing about Trump 20 years from now. Even the Republican "B-But Clinton-!" shit ended in less than a cycle.
>>152970516I would say it borrows heavily from gnosticism. but in any deep way. It's more like the creator just browsed a bunch of wiki articles and put it in the show superficially. It's kind of like the Elden Ring of cartoons right now. I remember Star versus The forces of the universe being treated the same way before the showrunner nosedived the quality and turned it into shit.
When I’m in a most annoying poster in the world competition and my opponents are /pol/ and /leftypol/
>>152970560Don't worry, you'll win easily by being a fencesitter with a moral superiority complex.
>>152970544ironic because that's exactly how you present your argument. yet you and your camp are the ones screaming about fascism and ignoring crime statistics. You are the ones that caused businesses to leave California because of the permissiveness of crime and re-releasing of dangerous criminals in the name of progressivism. It doesn't matter though, you won't see it, and you probably live inside all day so it's not like you're around the consequences. at least in the digital circus our argument could be settled with shooting at each other non-stop until someone finally gave up from being blown to pieces by an RPG over and over again.
>>152970297Not only that but the guy just doesn't have a bond with most of the cast. Like yeah, I don't expect Ragatha or Zooble to be indifferent to Jax's pain, but I have no reason to get invested in them being there for him. He only really has Pomni and I don't want the finale to be about them. Even Gangle just feels like she was used as a lazy way to convey to the audience that it's ok to be nice to Jax because arguably his biggest victim gave him a pass.
>>152970542Canon
How do you guys feel knowing that in the show's real time Ragatha is just about 40 and in our time she's nearly 50?
jax is so lucky bros..... he gets both frog pussy and jester pussy
>>152970564You got them good with that one DESU. imagine a digital circus video game where you side with the red or the blue AI and you have to help Cain or whoever the blue AI is gather data into their digital circus so you can defeat the other side.
>>152970577I am a man with dry noodles. Please give me the SAUCE.
>>152969638It’s not that I think they’re aliens, I’m just not used to having many overlapping interests with them. Feels like they have their own cultural sphere
>>152970566You were seething at someone who was agreeing with you.
>>152970580Circus time doesn’t count, she’s just a cute 30 year old plucked from 2008.
>>152970580I feel like I need her to sit on my face and call my dick cute.
>>152970566I aint arguing shit, and my preferred camp is Buchenwald.Quit projecting.
>>152970124people love traps, they are everywhere on /b/ amd /gif/.What they don't like is men with tits and no hair.
>>152970590They tend to do that.
>>152970587I was born in the '90s before the IDpol stuff took off and caused massive polarization. It wasn't always so divided between the two, and politics were mostly for older people about where money was going. there was a lot more in common. now though they've pretty much become completely populist and alien to each other. pretty much a red and blue AI.
>>152970591You think she was aware of the oncoming housing crash or did she not care and was one of those profiteering from it in 2008?
>>152970586https://x.com/Cloudielst/status/2029854729061453836
>>152970590oh I guess I misread the post point of view then, I get so used to arguing with a certain mindset It starts to become fire and forget.
>>152970584>you would be wise to join my gang
>>152970603"they"
THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS?
>>152970607I don’t think she would comfortably scam anybody
>>152970631do you think his mindset would have changed towards the recent episode if one of the cast actually liked him and voted for him during the awards ceremony? I wonder if he would have separated that player into a different adventure while he beat up the others, treating them like his special bean.
>>152970604Yeah. I don’t want to be one of those whiny “I was born in the wrong generation” types, but I really wish I could have at least lived a few conscious years in a less polarized world. I wish I could remember what politics was like pre-2016 but I was like 9 and didn’t pay attention to shit. It feels like it can never go back
>>152970622"They"/((((Them))))
>>152970636she would scam someone unwittingly under orders from her superiors
>>152970647And by polarized world I really mean the US.
>>152970636Not comfortably but she could be a useful idiot to the banks, who gave loans to those with bad an no credit who wanted a house. She could have not checked on who it was she was selling too, and in so doing, fed into the machine until it choked.
What does this expression mean?
kinger is insanely hot and I'm tired of pretending he isn't.that's it.that's the post.
>>152970664Pretty sure this is a mating call
>>152970664
>>152970647It was definitely a better time for the internet and media in general. any political references were well threaded into the material in a way that made it entertaining. I think that was one of the things that made everything better. It was geared towards being entertainment first, preachy last if at all. You weren't going to get wild polarization from the last action hero or escape from New York. I think the preachiest thing was comic books from time to time, or Looney tunes reruns. online forums were arguing mostly about religion at the worst, but usually entertainment topics and emerging anime. Weeboo was something rarely used as an insult, every nerd just loved gushing about things without irony.
>>152970673I want him
>>152970690What happened to the internet I grew up in?
>>152970646What if one of the NPCs voted for him. Like, what if Ming voted for him.
>>152970673Congrats you have elite taste in men. You win.
>>152970673Shut up Ragatha.
>>152970647I was born in '80The world really was different. Politics felt like group ordering pizza; you probably got what you wanted but you had to pick some shit off that you didn't. But you didn't try to unperson a guy for liking pepperoni and salt his fields so future generations couldn't grow, open psychopathical hatred of someone else was considered a red flag. At least you didn't have to live through the Satanic Panic, the dawn of helicopter moms, and the enshittification of candy and fast food.
Why are there no more chess characters? Pawns, Knights, Bishops, Rooks?
>>152970701cute, but would be cuter if she were canon-sized
>>152970735>Jax uses his newfound shortness to work into Raggys heart by tugging in her latent maternal instincts.>Now he can just say "Upsies" with his arms up and she'll pick him right up.
imagine if someone joined the circus just as Caine was crashing out
>>152970704Normies and big business saw it as an open door and ruined it like everything else. Now its like a second workplace environment. >>152970707Nah he doesn't seem to see them as anything but assets, and quickly deletes them once they've served their purpose. He got so giddy (at least as an AI copied what the definition and behavior of giddy) when Jax pretended to be interested and enjoy what Cain is programmed to do. I think this being a cartoon made by people that don't really understand AI is a bit detrimental. Cain has already displayed a self-awareness that is way beyond what any current model of AI is, even from a definition standpoint. He's not a learning model anymore, he is like a childlike neuro-computer or something.
>>152970735Ragatha don’t make Jax abstract
>>152970731Why would there be?
>>152970749>*poof*>Everyone just stares at the new guy before Caine blinks out of existence.
>>152970764Why is there a King and Queen?
>>152970749>spawns in mid-rant>"Uhh.... hello?">"DO NOT INTERRUPT ME!">Caine points a finger and zaps the newbie>"wha- OH NI-"
Imagine if one of the cast members told Cain how much they loved him and his adventures, and that they think he is fulfilling his purpose wonderfully. He'd probably do anything they wanted and even let them hang out in his office.
>>152970762Anon, LLMs aren't AI.
>>152970778Because it reflects their status as being progenitors of the circus and caine?
>>152970728Hello fellow 46 year old. Provided you're an American, remember when racism is mostly dying out and if you weren't living a hell hole such as LA you could just get along with people?
>>152970785Now show her the jar you had it in, Gangle.
>>152970228Not at this point, it would be completely out of character. But everyone dying would be very funny.
>>152970793Then why wasn't scratch the King piece?
>>152970792Yeah I should have not been stupid with my reply. They are called AI by people that don't know what AI is or people simplifying the whole thing for the sake of simplicity.
>>152970788The rest of the circus would shun them for being a suck up though.
>>152970801Why be king when you can be the chessboard?
>>152970735>Gangle finds out >things get weird>>152970785I don't the secret was that gangle has a ragatha figure, I think it's what she did with it.
>>152970795Nah I'm 36 and I dont agree with Racism dying out, we just didn't have an Internet to share the fact that racial identity was being targeted and demographics were intentionally being changed to usurp the majority and culture.
>>152970801Because scratch is a cutsey wootsie fluffy puppy doggy
I can't help but feel that Caine's adventures would be better received by actual children.What if a child came to the circus?
>>152970690>>152970728Damn I’m sad and a little jealous. Logically I’m sure this is just a cultural phase we’re going through and it will probably pass like everything before it, but it feels infinite when you’re in it. And so many political and cultural elements of 80s and 90s America feel like a different country from an outsider’s perspective. It’s nice to just spend some of my free time on stuff like TADC so I don’t have to think about it
>>152970788If they told him he was doing great he’d keep doing what he’s been doing because he thinks it’s working instead of because he thinks it isn’t and they’d all end up back here lol. But fortunately he doesn’t listen.
>>152970735Tags: Oneshota, femdom
>>152970813Yeah that would have been an interesting plot point but it would have required more episodes, especially since it would likely delay Cain's digital breakdown. Would make for a cool game though. There was already a VN like that where your player character had an NPC that fell in love with them, and they became real. You could break their heart and they would kill you, or love them and they would have sex with you at the conclusion.
>>152970806>for the sake of simplicity*the sake of suckering potential investors
>>152970795>remember when racism is mostly dying outShit that never happened
>>152970749
>>152970855trvth Nvke. Dumb shareholders see the potential to fire workers and lower operating costs and can't resist.
>>152970830It depends on the adventure and the age.The Candy Kingdom adventure would work well with mostbages, but other ones would traumatize kids or be too hard. The Mildenhall adventure would have either kids bored at having tea with a ghost lady or end up traumatized and trapped by the scary route.
>>152970830It would be a very different show.
>>152970863>caine grabs him, traumatizes him in record time and brings him back to group>"now that we're all caught up">he just resumes from where he left off
>>152970830Depends how labile the child is. Could be endless fun or immediate abstraction from overwhelm
>>152970749>>152970863>ywn be Caine's special princess he keeps locked in a tower
>>152970875I would've loved the Mildenhall adventure, but I was a weird kid.

>>152971011why wouldnt they
>>152971009some people are putting in the effort to use their own brain, learn, and be okay with making mistakes instead of relying on the internet for everything
>>152971027If I’m blessed to have a girl autistic enough to want to do that, I’m just gonna roll with it.
>>152971027I would let Jax wear this outfit in public

HELLOOOOOOO NURSE
>>152970795I lived on the south side of Chicago. I'm as ginger as it gets. Most of my best friends in school were black/hispanic/polish/jewish and we never even realized there was a difference between us, because there wasn't. We all played the same nintendo games, ate the same fast food, went bowling at the same place on weekends. Michael Jordan did more for race relations than any president before or since. Kids today will never understand how fucking big of a brand he was or the cultural shift that came with it. >>152970848Yeah but you guys have your own spaces, you just don't think of them as special. Shit like zoomer humor and TikTok is impregnable to the gen X mind but I can feel the vibe it gives off, and that's absolutely 'We're doing our own thing' which is amazing. TADC gives off the same vibe, even if the cultural roots and references are obvious, it's not like the older shit was any less transformative of what came before, you're just two or three steps removed from the consciousness of what shaped it, so it feels more original. Enjoy what you have and don't feel bad about it, because kids 30 years from now will have no idea what our culture really feels like in the now.>>152970972It's gonna be okay Anon. You guys still have all the good stuff that came before, and honestly, as a kid I would have sold my soul to have what you have now. The amount of vibrant, interesting animation that exists now compared to 30 years ago is just mind blowing. Find your passion and don't apologize for loving it.
>>152970913Same. But I think a lot of kids would be stuck by the "next breath" clue.
>>152971112>blender Zooblevs>peeled Jaxwho got it worse, honorary mention to deep fried Ragatha.
>>152969167Yeah I thought it was the lamest too especially compared to Raghatta's or Jax's which were kino. Pomni I can excuse since she's the newest and Zooble's probably that shallow lol stupid bitch.
>>152970664>>152970679
He misses the 80s. I miss the 2000s.
>>152971176ok based
>>152970664Say goodbye to your nuts.
.
>>152970863>that moment>him calling the gang freaks in PomnipaloozaCaine seems to have a thing about calling humans he's angry with freaks. Think it's something any of the C&A dev team called him at least once when they were in Clown Hell, and/or something Bubble's called him?
>>152971188you can't say that
Think Caine would've signed off on a D&D adventure?
>>152971228sure, only if he was the dm
>>152971140Thank you for such a kind and thoughtful response anon, I really appreciate it
If caine had a moustache which would be the correction option?
>>152969714I wonder if he got that rubber suit?
>>152971275Caine Calvo versus Señor Caine.
>>152971275the right of course, but its gotta be one of those funny curly ones for added funny
>>152971275left would be a funny way to give him a hairstyle
>>152970785Should have told her she shoved it up her knussy.
I DON'T WANT A BITTERSWEET ENDING
>>152971275Left, but only if Caine had lips to go over his teeth.
>>152971382hahaha butter
>>152971415Is there any analog tadc horror stuff yet?
>>152971382They're not getting out the circus but they'll have each other. That's what you're getting and you're going to fucking like it.
We're never going to know Jax's backstory but I'm still betting he got GOOSH GOOSH'd and ran away.
>>152971436>Trapped all eternity with ZoobleAIIIEIEEEEEEIEIEIEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
>>152971041looks more like they just fail to proofread their final product and end up looking stupid instead.
Today I learned there are multiple iam14andthisisdeep fags wanting Caine to return in the finale
>>152970735SS
I was playing Lemmings on my Amiga earlier and I realized something.Why not have a LEMMING as an Avatar?
>>152970801Because Kinger made Caine, and Caine absorbed the AI scratch made, so to Caine, Scratch was inferior to Kinger as Kinger's AI beat Scratch's AI.
>>152971460I'm sorry you're this judgmental of other people because I'm sure it extends to yourself
>>152971452More like Horny and Whore.
