Merchandising, where the real money of the show is made.Prev:>>151725052
No one will abstract. Nothing ever happens.
>>151730911For better or good?
Zooble will save everyone
Im gonna cu-
>>151730927She can save my erect phallic organ if you catch my drift.
>>151730927I want these two to fuck so bad it hurts
>end of ep9>everyone leaves the circus>its just irl footage of the VAs waking up in an office
>>151730947a menage a trois?
>>151730958>a menage a trois?No, just them. Having passionate, romantic, beautiful sex with each other.
Your reaction if the trailer for episode 8 has ribbit saying "chill, fella"?
>>151730975i see, i misread that haha. but why not get involved!?
>>151730986Because I am not interested in having sex with either of them.
>>151730979This is the main reason why FunnyBunny will never recover. No matter how many cope out of context frames they will provide. The fact is Jax only cares for Ribbit and will not move on either for Ragatha or Pomni.
i would lick ragatha's button as a joke haha
>>151730911Unfortunately true. I want Jax to get humiliated as much as he can, however
>>151731029and I thought I was odd for wanting to kiss it as a sign of affection.
>>151730904But why would Jax needs a shell if Caine took his balls.
>>151731230because it's more humiliating than just having a featureless crotch
>>151730950soul
Ever since they made Gangle and Zooble a lesbian couple I have completely lost interest for both them for some reason. It's a shame because I used to post Gangle a lot during the early days of the pilot, but now Caine and Bubble is the only nigga I care about.
>>151731017Who the fuck ships anyone with Ragatha? Ragatha belongs to the audience. If she had a canon love interest, people IRL would jump in front of the next car to get jax'd
>>151731328Everyone in this show is platonic. You can ship them, but no one is lesbian officially.
>>151731328>a lesbian coupleThere's no real romance in this show.
>>151731339Considering her fans harassed a friend of Goose just because she joked about Ragatha kissing them, I believe you.
>>151731347>>151731349I don't know. I used to believe that but their chemisty last episode was...well..
>>151731328Kind of sad you automatically assume 2 people being nice to each other is romantic.
>>151731393All I'm saying is that I have worked in a few predominately women led workfields and girlfriends don't act like that unless they follow the male definition of "girlfriend".
>>151731328Zooble and Gangle are mostly afterthoughts now anyway, Jax and Caine are the important characters
>>151731426Workfriends aren't the same
>>151731366Why do people do that? Don’t they know they will make fans look bad
RAGAPOM RAGAPOM
>>151730911I still think it will be Ragatha. They've been laying it on too thick with Jax's mental state.
>>151731470Some youngsters shouldn't be allowed to use the internet.
>>151730927>Looks like Zooble has a big pink butt in the thumbnail
>>151730911YOU will abstract
Why was a 30 year old still living with her mother
>abstraction is just a very heavy psychedelic trip
>>151731564Rich mean overbearing controlling mom, it's a trope in media
>>151731486PON PON
>>151731564Thats normal until boomers started kicking their kids out the second they were legally allowed. A traditional family house would have 3 generations
Would Pom Pom like pom pom?
>>151731564she probably lived in one of the properties her rich mom owns
*Cough* T-there is still a chance that Ragatha will be a twist villain *huffs copium* it wasn't by accident she singled out Ribbit and Kaufmo, they know the truth *wheeeze*
Had an insane dream about the final episode
>>151731721*Huffs Pomni's pussy*
do girls like Ragatha?
>>151730904>Merchandising, where the real money of the show is made.Now where have I heard that before?
>>151731760share itunless you're bound by NDA not to
>>151731721the big ep9 plot twist is that ragatha's actually poor and everyone laughs at her till she cries
>>151731767I'm sure there are a few tradwives who didn't get the memo about Goose who'd love Ragatha's aesthetic, but they probably already like Raggedy Ann, so...
>blocks your path
>>151727830Jax is a massive bitch and pushed kaufmo away after causing ribbit abstraction.
Why am I in love with a digital ragdoll?
>>151731767yes she is liked. most girls know what it's like to be 'the accomodating one who gets walked over' so they can empathise with her. lesbians especially like her, maybe because she is hot.
I've seen a lot of cope of this variety>jax pressed the good ending button and saved everyone from caine's wrath so he made the good choice actuallywho are these people who evaluate decisions like this? like is this actual autism
>>151731831you have mental issues
>>151730911It is legitimately best for the show. The cast isn't big enough to be effectively killing off characters willy nilly
>>151731841Too many teens and young adults who think they can't like a character who makes bad and selfish decisions because it reflects badly on them
>>151731815pussy magnet
>>151731841https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism
>>151731017It would be hilarious if Jax and ribbit fight was because she friendzoned him and Jax had an incel meltdown.
>People theorizing that Jaxx ran over a kid and doesn't wanna go back to the real world>People we're theorizing Jaxx to be a nigga since ep 1Interesting development
>>151731842I think he meant other than the obvious answer.
>>151731328That's crazy, but that's how it goes
What goes on at Shrimp Town?
>>151731328For some reason they feel completely irrelevant now, before gangle atleast had some relevance by being jax punching bag but now gangle and zooble basically exist in a vacuum, absolutely nothing would change if you remove them from the story.Its a shame because i like gangle and i don't particularly dislike zooble but they are basically props at this point.
>>151731841I mean, objectively, no one should really be mad at him for pressing the button, he was right.
>>151731885Jimmy Buffett is there
>>151731842She looks so warm and soft.
>>151731885They fry rice
Pomni needs to let me molest her
>>151731918Shut up The Sun
>>151731918If she lets you it wouldn't be molesting anymore.
>>151731841refusal to admit you can do a bad thing while being a good person or a good thing while being a bad person>>151731898if you press a button that you genuinely believe will kill me, and it does not work, i am still entitled by the unwritten law of any just and fair society to beat the shit out of you
odds of bubble popping in the finale?
>>151731842I want to tell her everything will be okay
>>151731897zooble looked the angriest at caine when the ruse was up. she was shaking
>>151731897Because they are abstract character designs, Gangle is somewhat interesting take with the theater masks, but Zooble is just straight up abstract despite the artstyle reference, its difficult to relate to that. There is a obvious reason why Pomni, Jax and Ragatha specifically are top 3 designs in the show.
Why are people obsessed with Ragatha’s posterior
>>151731946He's already popped like twice.
>>151731967some people in this fandom are heterosexual males
Jax would rape Ragatha 24/7 if sex was possible in the circus right?
>>151731898It doesn't matter that he was right, they including him thought it was real up until Caine showed up. He showed that he was willing to condemn them all to a digital hell because he couldn't handle whatever was waiting for HIM on the outside. I'd beat the absolute shit out of him if I were there.
>>151731962basic taste desu
>>151731841I prefer that cope over>caine forced him to press the button or influenced him, therefore jax is good actually
>>151731977Ragatha tied him up so other way around>>151731898bro thought the candy box had pencils in it
>>151731897I don't really believe that, I think Zooble is going to handle what's happened the worst out of everyone. Gangle actually had an interaction with Jax cut and given to Pomni instead though.
Im so disappointed I thought this was episodic comedyslop not lorecrap
>>151730904>Fine with spending some money on one or two of these.>Options on site are either buy a single one with a random character or the full set of all of them.Fuck off with the gachashit.
>>151731767Femanon here. Ragatha is my favorite non-male character in the show, even though I'm more like Zooble than her.
I can’t express how much I want to cuddle with Ragatha
The Digital Circus cast react to trying Underberg for the first time
>>151732002will zooble beat the shit out of jax or caine first
>>151732005Is there a secondary market where you can just get the one you want?
I want to rape Ragatha so much
>>151730904>All your theories are wrong So what theories were made wrong by the newest episode? I never got into theories except for any I came up with in my head. So Kinger's the Nimdok proxy and the creator of Caine. The headset made a copy of real people's brains so you put on the headset nothing happens and you walk away meanwhile your digital clone is stuck in the circus. Or almost no one is real and are advanced NPCs like Gummigoo with memories and experiences recycled from abstracted "humans".
>>151732060ebay or mercari of course you're spending more per box BUT you can get the one you want right away
Zooble will rape Jax with a detachable they/them dick once the sex update arrives.
>>151732044i hope they make a BIG Ragatha plush or maybe moose toys makes a talking ragatha like their talking pomni
>>151732060There always is but inevitably you're going to get upcharged for that, I just don't like them doing it to begin with.Just base the production on pre-orders if you're worried a specific one won't sell enough.
>>151732079god i wish that was me Zooble's voice is perfect for femdom rape
>>151732068The only hard-disproven theory is that the mannequin is anything other than what it was. Some soft-disproven theories (where they're less likely but not explicitly confirmed to be false) would be that the "A" in C&A stands for Abel, and of course Matrix Theory. If you're still a Matrixlet after watching episode 7 you're even stupider than you already had to be to believe it in the first place.
>>151732112Im a fan of futa Ragatha
have you ever met someone irl that likes this show? are they bearable to be around?
>>151730904why are the ads for this show so horny?
>>151732160Nope. I thought my sister would like this show but she’s never made a peep about it. She fell into the anime pipeline but I know she still has interest in some western IPs, I’m just surprised TADC isn’t.
>>151732002>Gangle actually had an interaction with Jax cut and given to Pomni instead though.Then gangle didn't had any interaction with Jax.I do hope zooble goes apeshit on jax, it would be satisfying.
>>151732164You can't be a Glitch show creator without being perpetually horny
>>151731328Damn that's why Ribbun was so dead. I remember people posting it often around episode 2 and 3Probably same thing will happen to BunnyDoll and FunnyBunny now that Ribbit is the only thing on Jax mind and its almost over
>>151732212artists are all hornythe best art always comes from the loins
>>151731870Suprised there are no Jax cucked by Kaufmo images
>>151730904Goose asked for naked Jax btw.
>>151732060>Check ebayDouble the price at least and that's for the ones no one wants.
>>151731875I dont think avoiding jail just to stuck in a worse hell is something Jax would do. Its not a reason to press the red button
Has literally anything changed or been revealed since episode 1?
>>151732118Hey there is also a possibility that they were sucked into the game like its some 90s show or a movie.
>>151732247I'm not even gonna bother fact checking this
>>151732263character relationships are more fucked up now
>>151732199That's why I said 'though'
>>151731339>>151731842why is she so damn hotis unfair
>>151731778I think it was a stress dream over it because I’m invested, I’m writing down as much as I can remember. No I don’t consciously believe any of this. The dream was two layers, me watching the finale (over an hour) on my phone in real time, while trying to find a charger in a city I’ve never been (was dangerously low on battery but hadn’t ran out). Outside the phone isn’t so relevant other than the fact that it was on TVs and people were reacting as it was happening, like it was the super bowl. Anyway, in the episode its implied that in the previous episode, Jax had somehow killed Caine/Bubble but this was seen as a bad thing by everyone else, Jax was crashing out wearing the wacky watch which gives him power while the rest of the cast cowers in the dark with a mentally unblocked Kinger. Turns out abstraction was Caine’s doing because if he doesn’t clean up the garbage data the simulation shuts down and they die. The rest of the main cast are alive in the tunnels of the cellar. Most dangerous game adaptation with Jax as the hunter for the bulk of it, but Kinger reveals the administration is watching everything from outside and their best hope is to make a plea to get out. The show then intermissions and we the viewers are asked if they should leave or stay. The world votes, but the result is a mystery and the episode proceeds—
>>151732240Hear, hear! If Mel is a porn addict, it's entirely possible that the Gwendroid brothel will become canon
which of the girls do we think has the tightest pussy
>>151732317 We then get a small live action interlude where two dark live action figures in lab coats look at eachother and nod their heads, pushing a button which results in a fleet of army guys in different avatars entering the circus, they subdue Jax in a big fight while a duo (voiced by drake and josh?) explain how to overload the program to the rest. The exploit is the censorship protocol. Just as Jax is about to be put down the whole cast makes the case against it and he’s spared. The final minute of my dream is, I shit you not, A Steven King’s IT style orgy set to music to overload the system. I woke up to my alarm in the middle of everyone having sex to leave, as the circus fades around them. Everyone fucked everyone.
>>151732342Pomni
>>151732342In-game or IRL?
>>151731815If I saw someone wearing this IRL I would assault them!
>>151732380you wouldnt do a damn thing, cracker
>>151732263Define "changed" and "been revealed". Jax's moods have changed, Pomni's outlook on most of the cast has changed, the nature of out of house adventures has been revealed, the capabilities of NPCs has been revealed.
>>151732317>>151732347Bravo Dreamworx
>>151732276that's so close to vr headset vore even as a shitpost goose would be into it
I think Jax was in a car wreck and is completely paralyzed irl, rather than having run someone over
I'm going to be so happy when it's the Eva ending with absolutely zero "lore" or "plot" resolution and it's 100% character exploration and learning to overcome your mental hangups and deal with the cards dealt to you. All these fucking kiddies with their brains rotted by youtube lore theory bullshit are going to have an aneurysm and it's going to be great
>>151730911Everyone but Pomni will abstract to keep Caine distracted.
>>151732438Yep, that’s where I think it’s going.
>>151730911>Nothing ever happens.Comes with having an stagnant life I suppose
>>151732317>>151732347was it kino?
How much are you putting down for the live action ending bet
>>151732438The characters dont have mental hangups, they have a lack of virtue.
>>151732282By relationships I assume you mean Jax’s character relationships. Not a single character in the show has any discord with each other except purple rabbit man against everybody. And Caine I guess but he’s AI not a person.
>>151732438>Oh you don't like eating shit? Im going to eat shit while making eye contact with you
>>151732469All of the sunken treasure I found.
>>151732469Nothing really, its gonna be ambigious whether they actually left or not.
>>151732438>All these fucking kiddies with their brains rotted by youtube lore>Wants the most basic take explained to him with no set up, build up or conclusion, just wants to be told how are the characters feeling
>>151732468In the moment, yes. Crowds outside the place I held up in were freaking out. And I was like “how can you even get away with this”
>>151730904Abel took his wife to the beach, how sweet.
>>151732469$0 because I am not a degenerate gambler.I worry for the day when Kalshi starts opening up bets on fiction.
>>151732497Because he is projecting. There is enough therapy talk, its time for action and adversity to begin.
>>151732501showing the final episode in a theater might be a fun experience tbqh
>>151732068>>151732118In spite of the "all your theories are wrong" meme I think the show confirmed more theories than it disproved. Like one anon said, the only thing it conclusively showed to be false is that the blank mannequin was anything significant. But it confirmed that>Caine doesn't understand what the real world is and couldn't let the players out if he wanted to>Jax is close to abstraction>Caine can alter people's minds more than he originally let on>Gangle doesn't need her comedy mask to be happy
>>151732438>Implying it isn't possible to have lore, world building, plot progression AND character introspection Why is the bar so low for some of you niggas, why do you think it has to be one or the other and why are people specifically crapping on people for not being content that the show is spelling out how the characters are feeling and does nothing else.
What's YOUR dream ending?Hard mode: no mention of shipping or sex
>>151732558gangle feet
>>151732438>The character exploration >Im sad because i can't make choices >Im sad because mommy hit me>Im sad because i can't accept help>Im sad because i feel inadequate >Im sad because my wife is dead>Im sad because nobody likes me>Im sad because the age of consent is too highBravo.
>>151732558After discovering the can of peaches has no can opener, Pomni use an icicle to kill everyone and faces Caine's wrath alone for eternity.
>>151732578I said no mention of sex>b-but feet aren't sexLiars go to hell, Anon. Remember that.
>>151732558An AI named Juno shows up reboots Caine and has him memory fuck the cast back to before Pomni appeared1
>>151732432>DARKNESS>IMPRISONING ME>ALL THAT I SEE>ABSOLUTE HORROR>I CANNOT LIVE>I CANNOT DIE>TRAPPED IN MYSELF>BODY MY HOLDING CELL
>>151731967Why wouldn't you looks soft and comfy
>>151732558Pomni says well its possible and that's the password to escape the circus.
>>151732558the cast gets sent to the real world but as their digital avatarsjust them interacting with the normalcy of the real world is piquing my autism
Jax dress up time made me hate him, he does awful shit to Gangle and Zooble but loses his shit when someone fucks with him.
ep7 was the one Kovach's friend called "so ass" wasn't it?>>151732540>Caine is really egotistical (the whole Jax part of the plan was to force him to hang out, Abel keeps laying on thick how poor Caine is a prisoner too)>Kinger thinks escape is at least implausible, if not impossible>Caine was literally attempting to gaslight the cast ("See you guys would much rather stay here WITH ME than go back to that silly macroverse!")
>>151732591>LANDMINE HAS TAKEN MY DICK>TAKEN MY BALLS>TAKEN MY SCROTUM
>>151732558Without getting free? Everyone being happy, and at least friendly. A new person is then trapped in the Circus. Pomni, Ragatha and Jax introduces them to their new prison.
>>151732497I want the characters to get over them mental problems, which is the real conflict in the show now that it's confirmed that there's no escape. We all live in our own circus, we must learn to live with it and each other.>>151732547>Implying it isn't possible to have lore, world building, plot progression AND character introspectionNot in two episodes it isn't, at least not to a satisfying degree>>151732579I think you missed the "resolution" part.
>>151732616Literally all AIs are selfish, you have to program protocols in them to stop them from lying to you.
>>151732558Life goes on, They finally give up and make amends with the circus, cut to a montage of adventures with unfortunate scenes with Jaxx and then Ragatha abstracting, cut to a new day with Caine ready to explain a new planned adventure with Kinger, Zooble, Gangle and Pomni together then suddenly a new face drops from the sky. The End
>>151732263Technically we know Kinger knows how to escape. And now they also know how to reach administator zone at the end of the corridor as well as Caine's office
>>151732628The emotional conflicts aren't that deep or interesting to focus solely on that but it is true there not enough time left for anything else and that's the problem.
Just watched the latest KamSandwich video. Which character do you think would enjoy Little Troubles the most?
>>151732654>Kinger knows how to escapeWhat the actual fuck are you talking about? Kinger thinks escape is impossible. Did you not watch the goddamn episode?
>>151732654That Admin zone is a farce made by Caine. Infact this fucker can make anything it casts doubt on anything being legit
>>151732263yes the villain who lies all the time turned out to be a lying villain
>>151732558I just want Ragatha to be okay
>>151732673>>151732654Neither is really confirmed, Kinger didnt say anything because he was unable to. Both of you are retarded.
This show was made for yearly release to be hyped and not with story in mind.Imagine if all 9 episodes were just released on Netflix. There would be no fan references, no Zach Hadel, no Abel, no shipping as none of the staff would know what memes are popular, what ships people do and what other VA's are popular.
would they be happier if they could connect to the Internet?
>>151732698Kinger, while lucid, and in response to hearing that there might be a way out of there, quite literally says that it doesn't make any sense.
>>151732263Arguably there's more questions than before.Caine has been accused of controlling their actions and causing abstraction but there no proof of that.The exit was fake again.Jax rather keep everyone trapped than face his issues.None of that is particularly groundbreaking information that we didn't knew or suspect.
https://x.com/glitch_prod/status/2000657186704257133Get your crumbs Ribbun and Bunnydoll.
>>151732558Ragatha makes out with Pomni while Jax disintegrates into pixels as Caine bluescreens in the background
>>151732673They can at least attempt at shutting down the system and kill themselves and Caine. Or reset the system and maybe boot themselves out into own bodies
>>151732742>kill themselves and CaineSelfish decision. I guarantee not all of them want to kill themselves.
>>151732656Maybe not every single character but the main ones (Pom and Jax and maybe Kinger) there's absolutely time to resolve
>>151732676Too much work. No point in making it. Could just made up story about needing the key from Caines mouth.Also Kinger reacted to the hand symbol when given the key so it's not made up by Caine.
>>151731393>on record says she wants to have sex>constantly hangs out with gangleI mean, it's pretty obvious
>>151732709I agree there's no escape, but to be fair he only says that method of escape makes no sense, not that escape is impossible
>>151732718AIIIEEEEEE JAX BROS DON'T LOOK AAAAAAAAA There are some people who would get an erecting from that dialog
Reminder to watch Gangle’s VA livestream the latest episode because unless she is being misleading she gave subtle impressions on where we’re going.
>>151732747The real question is,did Bubble lie about even fucking with the blue button?
>>151732750releasing the souls of loved one in permanent vegetable abstract state is mercy
>>151732788Do the voice actors even get any real info on the plot? I assumed they get lines and direction and that is it.
>>151732762No the object is made up by Caine, it doesnt matter if ita real. Caine has made it impossible to think anythings legit, the cast basically experiences paranoid schizophrenzia 24/7.
>>151731328Ironically I disliked zooble past the first episode where the chemistry between jax and zooble was funny. This episode she actually felt like she was developping beyond just being catty with Jax and being a literal "angel like love interest" to gangle. It's nice to see the characters all converging towards an endpoint, but it does feel kinda awkward now that theres going to be more episodes after this.
>>151732811They read the scripts. They know what happens they’re just in the dark on some of the visual execution.
>>151732811they did table reads for each script so yeah they all know what's gonna happen.
>>151732820Catty with Jax? Jax is a POS everyone should be hostile to him but hes lucky only pussies and schizos are left on the cast
does pomni poop?
>>151732788Well then just say it here, im certainly not watching, cant gotta go to job soon.
>>151732718B-but wasn't FunnyBunny suppose to be the canon one supported by Glitch???Would they lie about it like they did with FunnyBunny and now doing with BunnyDoll??
>>151732845In some fanart she does
>>151732845None of them do. They have no assholes or pee holes to excrete their waste from. They don't even fart.
>>151732856they barf though, and eat
>>151732856If Pomni could fart, would you let her sit on your lap?
HAHA
Not gonna lie, the cast being trapped going on infantile adventures with an insane AI for all eternity but it's okay because they're slightly less mentally ill sounds like an absolutely dogshit ending.
>>151732838Have you never shit talked with a friend of yours? Jax is clearly joking all the time and is just a bro that's having a good time. I'd go crazy if I was jax with no one to bounce shit off of on some basic adventures.
>>151732885This shit again?
>>151732898>hey caine if you can fix peoples minds can you fix all the abstracted minds of everyone>oh sure I never thought about that, *snap*>jax and ribbit slobbery make out
>>151732898Oh, who said "but it's okay"? I want a downer metaphor for shitty stagnant lives and doing your best despite it.
>>151732848I would watch it because part of it is interpretation and I don’t claim to be the master interpreter, but assuming no faking out:1. Jax pushing the button is going to be considered FUCKED UP and they can’t even imagine how the fandom will make excuses for him.2. They don’t even know how it’s possible to market the remaining episodes because so much happens.3. They love Ribbit a lot.4. Jax was almost abstracting in his trip.5. Originally the line to reassure Jax before they get balled up was Gangle’s but they gave it to Pomni instead.6. Mention of the first abstraction wasn’t in the original script.7. The live action flashes from Jax’s freakout was not in the script and they place a lot of weight in the event it represents.
>>151731339>>151731842>male 4chan users when a female character is just gentle and caring and nice>>151732705I still want to know why Mari Omori is there
>>151732906I just find it funny that artist just dont give a shit when they make Human Jaxx. btdubs, this take of Zooble (Done by her VA) is as close to a official design we'll ever get.
>>151732923Fix is a bit of a stretch.
>>151732885Bruh why does it have a sequel?? Black Jax is not real it can't hurt us
>>151732957>1. Jax pushing the button is going to be considered FUCKED UP and they can’t even imagine how the fandom will make excuses for him.They severely underestimate the hoops Jaxfags are willing to jump throught. Jaxfag
Blaming Caine for abstraction is misdirection.
>>151732898Nah, I think Pomni and the others coming to a understanding with Caine and learning how to actually be satisfied with what they have with the circus would be a better endingI mean what are they going to do, the show pretty clearly implies that this is a SOMA type situation
>>151732558>What's YOUR dream ending?A mystery box answer that isn't they were dead all along or anything else that makes the VR goggles a fake out. I don't care if they die or can't escape or get out. I just want us to see whatever this shit looks like from the real world.Least stupid would probably be the game is somehow magic and they were physically sucked into it, so I guess my dream ending is everyone spewing out of the VR goggles into a pile of bodies while groaning.
>>151732979What's with LGBT artists always trying to make their interpretations of popular characters as ugly as fucking possible? Why is this so common?
>>151732987Please explain your reasoning.
>>151732705Dumping all the eps at once is gay and I hate netflix. That being said the inconsistant schedule by glitch was pretty irritating. I obviously understand these things take time but i wish they have a consistant 1 ep for 3 months. So basiclly 2 years for the whole show.
>>151732885>>151732979If Jax were a nigger he would be even more abusive towards everyone but this time without feeling any remorse.
>>151732979KEK it's like they just grabbed some rando dude for fill in for Jaxx
>>151732885>>151732979Shieeet now I know why Jax acts like such a niggerHe is one
>>151732957Thanks nigga, that sounds promising, hope it doesnt come out rushed.
>>151732775They literally told him nothing about the method of escape, just that they were attempting to. His literal words are, "Escape the circus? That doesn't make any sense."
>>151732957>1. Jax pushing the button is going to be considered FUCKED UP and they can’t even imagine how the fandom will make excuses for him.Depends on what exactly he was afraid of, I will make excuses for him if he genuinely believes he is dead in the real world. Anything else though? Nah
>>151732558Stuck in the circus, no confirmation at all how they really got there or what things are like on the outside, life affirming acceptance of each other and their circus existence.
>>151732987He probably did cause some of the abstractions not knowing how to handle human emotions but most were caused by the existential dread of the situation they found themselves in and i hope they don't use this as a cop out to take blame away from jax for killing ribbit and kaufmo.
>>151732992>the show pretty clearly implies that this is a SOMA type situationThat's one possible interpretation, but The Hollow already did that exact twist.
imo all signs so far point to an ending that's gonna be something like, everyone learns they can manifest things via thought into the circus and everyone gets to make their own adventures. but you have to be like, mentally prepared for it or some shit, you could even throw in something like 'the adventures were intended to be a tutorial for the players to learn how to build stuff' but everyones just so fucking depressed they never botheredoptional additions>all the abstracted folks get saved>zooble learns how to fuck>caine gets to go on an adventure >pomni learns how to fuck (gummigoo)
If dubs, Alex will cover Chamber of Reflection as Caine before the end of the year.
>>151733047What was the point of your post, Anon? You do realize this is a Digital Circus thread, right?
>>151733012They want to feel like outsider artists who don't succumb to mainstream beauty standards.
>>151733020I for one am happy channels like Glitch can existBeing able to just do whatever you want with your ideas and just go "if you like my show, please buy my marketable plushies" to secure more funding from suspiciously wealthy autists is sooo much better than "Cool cartoon idea, we will fund it but only if you let us to make it gay and lame"Not to mention free cartoons is better than paying for jewish subscription services
>>151733036>That doesn't make any senseIn fairness, he would say that whether or not there is a method of escape because he wouldn't understand wanting to leave.
>>151733067Really now? And how's that working out for them? What kind of careers do these people have?

>this is what Ribbit's VA sounds likehttps://nitter.poast.org/idipayzz/status/2000034255410282859No wonder Jax was driven crazy by froglust.
>>151733090My issue with a lot of Blax interpretations is that his ass would be too lazy to do most of the hair shit.
>>151733098True, every blackie as some zest to them
>>151733012They want to relate to them
>>151733041>take blame away from jax for killing ribbit and kaufmo.I don't know how Goose could possibly convince me he deserves to be blamed for this unless it is revealed he knows how to trigger abstractions and has done so on purpose.
>>151733115i can buy it, he seems vain (the tail thing)
>>151732558Caine finally understands he can't make them happy and that his attempts are actively endangering them, accepting himself as a complete failure of a program. Rather than crashing the circus and sending everyone to the Void, he gives up Ringmaster authority to the players, letting them hand off who makes an adventure today, basically making the Suggestions Box to the name of the day.After some time of this, the whole group agree that Pomni makes the best GM and tend to leave it in her hands. She takes to it with aplomb and surprising delight.
>>151732118They could be disembodied brains.
>>151733146Pomni has such a cute smile
>>151733151they could also be squirrels
>>151733015See >>151733041Ciane probably caused some of the earliest abstractions pushing them to their limits but has adjusted accordingly to not cause anymore abstraction himself, that's why he said things like "if I did anymore it would end bad".Being trapped forever with no way out would drive most people insane so while caine did caused some of them the others weren't directly his fault.I don't think an AI that is supposed to keep its users happy would do things he knows it leads to abstraction atleast not intentionally.The idea that he controlled jax actions seems like an unfounded accusation imo, the fake exit adventure was beyond fucked up which is what i mean Caine wouldn't cause abstraction intentionally but since he said doing more would be bad that means the abstractions he did cause were enough for him to put a limit to how much he can mess with people's minds.Jax almost abstracting doesn't mean Caine did it since he has been almost abstracting since last episode, kaufmo was seemingly abstracted because he got obsessed about the exit.I called it misdirection because while there's nothing to think this yet i do think jax caused ribbit abstraction and indirectly kaufmo's for drifting apart and never checking on him based on the implication everyone blames him for it and it does fit his character like a glove to push others into insanity and then playing victim.
Caine and Ragatha are really similar characters if you think about it.
>>151733112What will her personality be like? I hope she has one and it's not just a Gwen Stacy
>>151732558Pomni replaces Caine as the admin. The Dutchman must have a captain.
What if Kinger was a BROTHDA
>>151733112fuaaark
On a scale of one line delivery to an entire episode, how much flashback do you want?
>>151733228"I wuz kanger n sheeeiiit"
>>151733146does that mean caine becomes a party member
>>151733129>Kinger: the worst thing you can do is make some think they are not loved(I don't remember if he said loved or needed) >Jax made ribbit feel unloved/unwanted driving her to abstraction since she did what jax said about not taking the game seriously and the disassociation no longer worked>After her abstraction jax and kaufmo drift apart leading to kaufmo obsession about the exit which triggered his abstraction >Never check on him or even went to his funeral.Is subtle but so far the implications do fit and make a picture but i do get the feeling caine will somehow be blamed for every single thing.
the caine mind control shit is so stupid. caine doesn't involve himself with adventures, the two examples of mind control we have are>stupid saucesomething ragatha has to DO with an existing adventure object, it's not caine being a spooky ghost and possessing her>pomni possessionagain, it's not caine, it's something in the adventure affecting the player. this time it is a spooky ghost thoughcaine's unhinged but he does seem to be very hands off once he starts the adventure, with the latest episode being an explicit but necessary break from that. it's possible in the past he was different but everything we see on screen is that he has some rules he tries to follow, and 'force the humans to like me' is something he DESPERATELY has been trying to do. he craves actual validation.also you could throw something in here about god and free will if you wanted to get really dumb
>>151732705Wow, its almost like dumping every episode at once is retarded
>>151733228This is the ugliest human art I seen of them.
>>151733266I had envisioned Caine as retiring to a slumbering state (possible to reactivate if they want him back/need him for something they don't understand) but he could stay as a regular NPC around the circus if that makes him happy.
>>151733233We are 1000% not getting a flashback
>>151733228WE WUZ KANGER N SHIET
>>151733233jax is already hallucinating, that's probably all we're getting of her
>>151733299>it's not Caine doing it!>it's the things Caine made for the explicit purpose of doing it that do it!hmn
>>151733342Why would Glitch hire a brand new voice actor for a character that only has muffled, incomprehensible dialogue in a short 5 second sequence instead of having someone on staff do it instead?
>>151733233Like 2-5 minutes
>>151733299Literally made a man vegan. Being able to unilaterally enforce a dietary preference is mind control.
me personally I imagine Jax looking kinda like this
>>151733233we got confirmation that ribbit was a cutie so no need for flashbacks anymore
You ever see a man so stupid that you can't help but think that his dick game would be insane wacko shit
>>1517332330
>>151733112No wonder Caine won't let them have sex, there's no way her and Jax would leave their room if they could.
>>151733146Thats sounds like almost perfect ending. If only there was a way to sort out the situation with the abstracted folks in a way that would be somehow satisfactions BUT also not a complete asspull since there is only 2 episodes left to work with.
>>151733194Yeah, but Ragatha realizes where she has fucked up when it comes to human relationships while Caine can't seem to come to terms with it.Also I wonder if Caine also has "mommy" issues possibly related to Queenie (only proof I have is that both like bugs).
>>151733361>instead of having someone on staff do it instead?you're thinking too much like a cold numbers guy instead of an artist excited about their story.if you made a cool character, wouldn't you want them to have the perfect voice you imagined in your head? tadc is their biggest money maker it's not like they can't afford it
>>151733326Stole my joke faggot>>151733239Anyways I do think Pomni would be a 10/10 Korean-American QT
>>151733299The stupid sauce is a terrible example, that's just a drug. Possession as well is not a real example.>>151733379That being said, making Jax vegan and directly zapping memories into his mind is direct mind control, if only on a small scale. It's like a toonforce thing, Caine can only do it if it's funny.
>>151733423just cause she can do math she's asian? wow racist much
>>151733194Caine is Ragatha if she was actually bad.
>>151733395Nona, trust me, his inexperienced will be a letdown, I'm sorry....but his reaction to sucking him dry will be priceless...
Caine is a good boy and I’d like for it to work out between him and the humans.
>>151733395Reminded me of the guy that fucked his wife listening to weirdass dolphin fart sounding music for like 5 years straight until she finally told him to stop.
>>151733445it's funny that ep7 was all about him fishing for sympathy, and no one fell for it in the slightest.
>>151733410Judging from how Abel talked about Kinger, if anything Caine has daddy issues.>44GPT
>>151733454>she didn't tell him to put on headphones after the first yearshe deserved it
If Caine increased the age rating, no one would want to leave the circus.
Pomni screams some kind of tiny Asian. I'm going Filipino.
>>151733194People pleaser characters but Ragatha blames herself and Caine can’t seem to comprehend what’s wrong.
>>151733442>but his reaction to sucking him dry will be priceless...imagine witnessing him shrivelling up like a capri sun being drank by a thirsty man, the mental image is killing me
>>151733022>>151733025So which is it?
>>151733492But she's voiced by a huwite huwoman
>>151733228What compels these people to remake things as hideously as possible?
>>151732707They would be happier with more hyuman friends and a digital society but I feel like the core dynamic would be ruined.
>>151732558They can't leave but they reprogram Caine to be suck less and basically make heaven
>>151733309Just give Caine some beehives to tend to and he'll be the happiest boy ever
>>151732558something brutal and insane that will burn any sequel potential to the ground
>>151733484I believe once the surprise of it sunk in they'd search harder for an exit because they'd realize they only have each other to have sex with (or worst of all, Caine decides for them to include him to feel loved)
>>151731870Considering that Ribbit's VA is a lesbo, maybe.
It is kinda weird how they treat Caine. You'd think they would try to befriend him and take the possibility of infinite torture more seriously.
>>151733534thats just a bug
>>151733484Jax would still get no puss
>>151733402But has Caine even tried to fix the abstracted people? I forgot.
>>151733492Pomni is NOT brown.
>>151733557>caine shows up to the orgy in his Wacky lingerie and heart print boxers>has no idea why no one doesn't want to have sex with him>>151733592probably not if he just threw them all in the cellar
>>151731967It would make a nice pillow
>>151733610Then there's no reason we can't assume they're stuck like that forever. Especially since darkness makes them more lucid. Maybe he's unintentionally helping them right now, and all they need is some Talk no Jutsu.
Total Jax death
>>151733640>They have their own civilization down there
Ragatha's soft plush ragdoll ASS
>>151733567It could be a number of things, like not wanting to give him an arm to grab cuz then he'd be overbearing and more personal (more than he already is)maybe they assume he is under robot laws and really don't think him capable of becoming rotten/rogue so they feel free to beat their frustrations to a boxing sack with Caine's face without repercussions The gist is that they don't want to throw him a bone in thinking he is someone worthy of humane respect cuz then they'd feel like utter assholes for denying it for so long
>>151733228If the cast were human they'd all be white americans.
>>151732160I know like 5 other people that like it and we usually make a night out of it and have drinks and shit when a new one is released.
>>151733830they all look so soft and misshapen
>>151733830that counts as white in america?
>>151733610>>has no idea why no one doesn't want to have sex with himCaine banned from funny orgy activities to the cuck chair "to learn how to sex"
>>151733830Post young Lizzie pictures....
>>151733870>post youngwe just call that 'old'
>>151733830
>>151732979>>151733228I wonder why they keep trying to make Ragatha black when she acts and sounds like the whitest woman that ever existed.
>>151733884yeah that is old, that's why i specified as "young" as in her 20's
>>151733921Hatred of white people.
>>151732967OH MY GOD HOTNESS I WANNA BANG YOU
>>151733967SHE MINE.
>>151733830White? Marissa is Italian.
>>151733893any back view?
Anon, what are your predictions for the last two episodes?1. So far we haven't seen that Carnival location.2. They hired a voice actor for Ribbit, so a flashback? Or Jax hallutinating?3. Pomni and Ragatha know about Kinger becoming sane in the dark, so they could try to get some info from him.4. The cellar is another unexplored location.5. Caine said he wouldn't allow several adventures to run at the same time. However, there are many little portals(?) in his office that could be used to do exactly that.6. When Gummy Goo was zeroed, nothing's left of him. Yet when the same happened to Abel, a locket remained. Odd. Could Abel be a human after all?
>>151732967Mogs 95% of fan interpretations
>>151733558>Ribbit's VA is a lesboLike, for real, or is she one of those bisexual women who calls herself a lesbian to feel cooler?
>>151734025>5. Caine said he wouldn't allow several adventures to run at the same timethis might drain his powercould be a way to shut the simulation off?
>>151733921That's Italian brown at worst.
Marissa dressed up as kanaya!?!?!?\BRO I NEED TO CUM IN HER.
>>151732957>and they can’t even imagine how the fandom will make excuses for him.
>>151733208Idk but here's her voice actress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4Et7yjRIYg
>>151733090>is in denial about how much of a bad person Jax is>>151732979>is not in denial about how much of a bad person Jax is
>>151733228All of them are white except for Zooble who CAN be ambiguously brown if she must.
Jax is Jewish.
>>151734107A tasteful amount of tan...
>>151734107no she's just a dyke
>>151734107I’m okay with Pomni being a cute hapa but yeah
>>151733112Damn no wonder Pomni can't compete
>>151734107you'll pull the "gangle is black" headcanon from my cold dead hands
>>151734053Hard to tell these days. Every other woman wants to be a part of LGBTQ these days because women are trend riders.It's insane how many women try to slip in under the 'queer' tag and then you take a deeper look and they're heterosexual and always have been.
>>151734060Maybe? Didn't Kinger have the bull ride adventure while the rest of the gang suffered at the fastfood? If so, Caine can run several adventures but prefers not to. Maybe he's afraid of glitches or something?
>>151733146Great fanart, but that sounds childish. Was there ever anything outside the circus that was worth a damn, that then becomes the question otherwise they shouldnt have bothered making it the way they did.
>>151734168
lotta dumb broads with stupid cats and ugly little tattoos.
>>151734198kek
>>151734131>hapaNah, you are still not straying from northern hemisphere and thats a good thing. Ancient North Eurasians make up bit of DNA of modern whites iirc.

>>151734198(Gangle’s not black either she just wanted to say nigga)
I love my African American wife Ragatha.
Ragatha desperately wants to be a mom and she never will be ;_;
>>151734242She is not a NIGGER
>>151734249Ragatha has mommy issues and if you have sex with her she can only get if you slap her and call her a bad, bad, naughty girl.
>>151733921Ragatha's like J from Murder Drones: she kept her white voice on for so long that she's forgotten how to code switch.
kinger, ragatha, and zooble are white gangle is asian pomni is a korean hapajax is a spic my opinion is the only one that matters
>>151734271Jokes on you, that's my fetish.
KINGER, BLACKPOMNI, BLACKRAGATHA, BIG BOOTY BLACK QUEENJAXX, WIGGA FROM THE MID WESTGANGLE, BLACKZOOBLE, TANNED TOMBOY DKYECAINE, PAINFULLY A CRACKERBUBBLE, TINY ASIAN BOY CAINE STOLE FROM CHINA
>>151734249I have no womb and I must breed
too many people acting like rape victims these days
>>151734291>BUBBLE, TINY ASIAN BOY CAINE STOLE FROM CHINAI can actually see that.
>Gangle: any race>Zooble: any race but black (IDK I just can't see a black Zooble)>Jax: I'll be honest I just picture a younger skinnier Michael>Kinger: white or black>Pomni: white or east asian>Ragatha: whiteThat's just how I think of them
>>151734291Bubble - Tiny asian boy.I will accept this non-white, but everyone else is white.
My cracked out theory is Caine and Bubble are fragments of Kinger’s mind.
>>151732558Caine is overthrown via coup led by Pomni, Kinger, and Bubble. Kinger regains his sanity from Caine and the circus group rebuilds the digital circus using everyone's expertise (gangle's artistic vision, ragatha's city planning, zooble's understanding of facility 'needs', Kinger's programming knowledge, etc)
finally a show without niggers and the first thing niggers do is try to insert niggers in it
>>151734319>Has ONE definitive answer.>This is how i think of them.
>>151734242bitch no black person is into horses or is a 'rich horse girl'.
>>151734360its possible to be a poor black into horses if you live in a rural area. but yeah black richfag horsefan is less common
>>151734331Yeah
>>151734291>>151734308>>151734323Bubble would be a chicken egg homunculus.
Tie up jax to a chair with a vr headset where he sees ribbit abstraction on repeat, pumped up with adrenaline, cortisol and other fucked up drugs, have Caine pull him out of abstraction last second and do that for atleast a few days every couple of weeks.That's the least Jax deserve.
I'm into the black gangle thing, my head canon is that her older bro was a DBZ black weeb and she grew up into vocaloid and went deeper into anime shit
>>151728654...this makes more sense than I would like.
FunnyBunny fags this is your mindsethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hfTUagFCrM
>>151734341Yes I do not actually think hard about how I picture their human selves because I'm not really interested in that. Kinger can be black or white to me.
Ragatha should tie up Jax in a chair and then force him to watch her soft domming Pomni in bed
>>151732068>>All your theories are wrongNot true, Soma theory is gaining traction. If Caine can fuck with their brains that means they're not real people trapped there, but their copies with altered memories etc.
>>151734404Any Jax ship that isn’t Ribbit is horrible.Ribbit ship only gets a pass because of lack of information.
>>151734276You opinion sucks balls man
my headcanon is that they got sucked into the computer like that one scooby doo movie where they have to fight a virus
What if WE are the circus?????
>>151734440Much better than Somautism.
>>151734276I have the exact same opinion but since yours is the only one that matters it means mine is wrong and since its the exact same, you're also wrong.I don't make the rules.
>>151734436ay caramba!
>>151734426That defeats the point of everything. Just go play Soma instead then.
>>151733387oh god he's one of those habbo hotel mfs
>>151734456I never understood this meme.
>>151734470>That defeats the point of everything.How?
>>151734470The point of what? There is no point to anything in the first place.
>>151734462Nice, i got illegals in my yard.
>>151734404Anon, you're getting a little too pathetic at this point.
>>151734470What is the point then? If you say, "the point is everyone is stuck lmao" then you have a basic understanding of story plots as a fifth grader.
>>151734237Lack of filter means the game let her say it bc she's black
>>151734480>>151734486Just leave ending ambigious whether they left or not and call it a day
Pomni is the straightest woman in all of fiction, and yet, Ragatha is in first place anyway.
>>151734404Funnybunny is kinda rent free for you, huh.
>>151734503It's pretty clear whatever ending they choose, they aren't leaving.
>>151734499It doesnt have to be sophisticated as you all think. When its too much its too much. Least thing we need now is TADC to insist upon itself, it should rather be bittersweet or something. Classis may i say.
Still nobody has answered me how the fuck "The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World" has FUCKALL to do with TADC
All in on Satre’s No Exit, glass half full edition.
>>151734514Thats why it should be ambigious. We can have it both ways. Leave it for the audience to speculate just as was with every episode so far.
>>151734520There was a Boy and His Dog reference.
Can anyone give me a rundown on what Haibane Renmei is about? I've seen some anons saying its headed towards a "Renmei ending" but I have no idea what that means.
>>151734503>just stick a cliffhanger at the end to make it the story seem more deep than it isThat would actually be the gayest way to end the show. I would literally take any other ending over a cliffhanger end.
>>151734499the moral is that you can improve any situation by having friends. like a how nice coworkers can make a shitty job better
>>151734548In short this. The life affirming idea that despite the fact that you can’t escape your reality and you’re going to die someday, you can reframe how you approach life and deal with the uphill battle of being close to others because at the end of the day existence is worth it and other people are worth it too.
>>151734548They ran through that theme every episode already. Everyone is good with eachother except Jax and if they redeem him somehow, fix or whatever. What then? Tralala happy ending everyone is still in the circus.
>>151734573There are better and more popular shows and movies that did that. Even myths and epics teach upon this theme. TADC doesnt bring anything new in that regard.
whenever I see an anon mad that we're not getting a generic escape matrix ending I understand why netflix slop always makes bank in spite of being basic as shit and sucking ass
>>151734585Jax may be “unfixable” or maybe he can learn to live with others. Either way there’s still the Caine question.
>>151734548>>151734573But, that isn't contradictory to the cast being replicated minds though? Death in TADC is purgatory abstraction, as far as we know that is. Otherwise, I agree with you.
>>151734605>If you’re not first you’re lastHorrific way to see media. Everything that’s been said has been said, execution is what matters, and if the show goes this way it has executed on an idea that fits well with what its done.
>>151731901He's in magaritaville.
>>151734544You can watch the eng dub (which is awkward yet somehow passable) on YouTube but "Renmei ending" just means the cast will come to terms with living in a new world where no one know who they are and will focus on taking care of each other instead of being swallowed up by past issues/guilt/sins.
>>151734620TADC is a ridiculous show to go with that theme, it just doesnt fit.
>>151734611>that isn't contradictory to the cast being replicated minds thoughIn my opinion (you’re replying to two different people) SOMA theory would not contradict this message but it would complicate it to a degree and go down a road that is a bit more generic. I wouldn’t mind either way but from where I’m standing making them programs isn’t necessary.
>>151734645Disagree strongly, the entire show has been screaming it from the rafters.
>>151734610I'm worried how they'll balance the Jax and Caine issues. With the wall Jax has built up, I'm not sure if one episode is enough to get the Ribbit incident plus full public crashout plus getting over it and not killing himself. And im not sure if one episode is enough for everyone to care about Caine considering everything he did in this episode.
>>151734528Interesting connection. Except the people don't all hate each other so how does that work?
>>151734605do you also come out in hives anytime a story has the moral that friendship is good and good will triump over evil?
>>151734646What other logic is there for the casts existence? Like, do you think it would be better to have a matrix similar plot instead of SOMA? What other way could they possibly go back if they were able to? If their bodies died, would they die in the circus as well?
>>151734611i don't think there would be a contractition. for them, this is all there is, this is all you get, so you have to make the most of it
>>151734687No Exit says "Hell is other people" (glass half empty perspective) and TADC says the opposite "heaven is other people" hence "glass half full"
>>151734697what a fag lol
>>151734701I think its more likely that they never explain the mechanics of their captivity because it'd muddy the final message. It's like explaining why Josef K got put in trial or how Gregorio Samsa got turned into a hideous creature.
Is glitch become disney?
>>151734725Not yet.
SOMA theory isn't real because there would be no where for Jax, Gangle, Zooble or Pomni to get trapped. Ragatha would have cleaned out the building and sold it.
>>151734544the tl;dw is: Girl wakes up in a mysterious walled town where it's forbidden to leave, grows a pair of wings, and has to live with the other people like her (known as the Haibane) following arbitrary rules. The characters have something called the "day of flight" where they feel compelled to go into the light and nobody knows what happens to them. There's more to it, it has a lot of similar themes to TADC despite being very different in tone. It's kino and you should watch it, but if you really wanna know the endingIt's heavily hinted that the girls are in some sort of purgatory after killing themselves. The final act is about Rakka, the mc, helping the standoffish Reki overcome her guilt before they both turn "sin-bound" and become unable to take their day of flight. It's never fully explained what the nature of the town is or what happens to them, and the ending is Reki taking her day of flight/ascending while Rakka welcomes two newcomers to the home of the Haibane.
>>151734670Now thats where they will pull it out by the last episode. Season 2 will be announced and Goose will pretend like thats how they think it should be because show got too popular bla bla bla.
>>151734687They don’t hate eachother but they cause eachother pain, just like in No Exit they are in their head about how others see them, have difficulties with vulnerability, etc.To me, TADC is the more optimistic interpretation of that idea, that yes life is hard and other people are hard but it’s worth it to put in that effort anyway.
>>151734745I watched that two weeks ago and realized Reki is exactly what I wanted Ragatha to be
>>151734695What?? I like that kind of storytelling about good winning and friendship etc, but ending with them being stuck without any proper resolution to anything just doesnt work here. Its not that kind of a show, its not dark enough for it.
>>151734721I mean sure, if we are straight talking about the ending. Goose would probably pull that. But it would be more interesting to learn, or be alluded to clues that could allow the viewer to start piecing things together. The latest episode was actually really good for that. But each person enjoys a story for different reasons.
>>151734716My interpretation is more neutral. Hell is other people… when you don’t put in the work.But if you try, and never stop trying, you can make a life worth living.Kind of Evangelion, but focused more on the connection and less on the self (eva does both but more of a personally inclined message).
>>151734757Gooseworx said one season plus cameos like Murderdrones. I got the impression she wants to move on and do other things after this
>>151733228There would be no Circus since they don't know how computer work. Literally never seen a Black computer geek or programmer.
>>151734736Oof good catch. Finally someone smart unless you are cracking some.
>>151734725they're about a trillion dollars short
>>151734799Anon, money is flowing. No one gives a fuck about Goose's feelings just like no one did about Hillenburg's for example.
>>151734799inb4 The obligatory “ok you made us a gorillian dollars we’ll finance whatever you want” passion project that flops and then they have to make a TADC 2 or spinoff.
>>151734779>its not dark enough for it.multiple people went insane and are now locked in a cellar dude...
>>151734838reminded me of that samurai manga by the naruto author
>>151734841Spongebob had adult jokes and themes too. You know it was back in the day when authors knew strike a fine balance for all audiences.
>>151734832glitch's image is predicated on respecting its artists because muh indie. maintaining that image is worth more than any amount of squeezing money out of an IP
>>151734868Fair, but only time will tell. You cant be indie forever.
>>151734866>it's a cartoon so it should be for kidsoh fuck off
>>151734838Gooseworx is autistic and antisocial. She'll probably just hide in the shadows and pray another Glitchshow goes mega viral
>>151734866TADC is 14+
>>151734736Assuming their backstories are real, yes.
>>151731841My main cope is that it was Grade-A gaslighting by Caine. The plan was running out of time and rapidly falling apart. Not going to say Jax was in the right, he clearly failed to communicate and panicked. He can't be trusted under pressure either way, but not unforgivable given the situation.I sentence him to a proper explanation, a heartfelt apology to the rest of the class, and a time-out session with The King.
>>151734883Holy shit. Thats not what i said.
>>151734838after the kog pilot i don't think glitch will bet on a creator's name boosting a show
>>151733090why are artists so obsessed with making Jax Black
>>151734886gaslight will not do it, premise is too complicated and the art style too ugly. though it does have food for the schizos with its codes and arpg shitknights of guen sadly isnt doing numbers
>>151734779Reminded me of the people vehemently being against the supernatural being canon in The Sopranos because "it doesn't make sense in a mafia series".
>>151734912>I sentence him to a proper explanation, a heartfelt apology to the rest of the class, and a time-out session with The King.Yeah because Jax is known to try to improve things.
>>151734898>Implying 14 yo in our Lord's 2025 are somehow mature.
>>151734922They see an arsehole they want to redeem and project their own racist idealism onto that arsehole.
>>151734611I mean didn’t Goose basically say the story wouldn’t really allow a season 2. What if the ending is the cast accepting they're copies, and/or purposely turn off the circus so no one else suffers like they did. I know Goose also said something along the lines the show’s theme is something like “there is beauty in a stagnant life” or something along those lines. The way Kinger reacted to Zooble telling him they found a way out makes me think sane Kinger knows they’re digital copies. Honestly what really convinced me about the “theyre ai copies” theory is the ending show of episode 1 when it zooms all the way out and you see the office desk with the headset next to it.
>>151734886Nooseworx is male!
If I were to entertain the SOMA theory (not my preference) then maybe the purpose of the circus is to give birth to a higher level of AI. In Halo they make a distinction between dumb AI (program) and smart AI (digital human brain clone) and in that context Caine is tasked with grooming these candidates to become smart AI that are truly self aware and alive.
>>151734922Unironically racism, he acts like a nigger so even the wokest people associate him with black people but the funny thing is that people call jax a nigger like /co/ doesn't actually believe he is one, just that he acts like it but wokes are so into political correctness that it loops back to racism.
>>151734763I could see this being the case, but I honestly hate the idea that this could be literally hell or something like it.
>>151734922Legitimate and unironic racism. Rudest, most sociopathic character in the show and canonically a bully. I just wonder why everyone thinks he's black. Similar thing happens with Zooble, she's always drawn as black and Gangle as asian or white (because the black woman is always a masculine gorilla protecting sweet innocent asian/white girl). Why can't Zooble be white and Gangle be black? or Jax Asian?
>>151731859There's plenty of fully grown adults who can't comprehend that some people do shitty things or the concept of moral luck (even in a situation where they unambiguously were damning the group to not leave and didnt actually think it was a trick)
>>151734929Nah. Sopranos is a big show which has much more freedom due to being set in reality/world itself, so there is only a question about variables in that reality. TADC is very constrained and piss poor so far (im sorry i dont want to be harsh), there is just generally lots of bland parts on the canvas called TADC whether its physical or character wise doesnt matter. It needs to allow itself to breath more.
>>151734868>maintaining that image is worth more than any amount of squeezing money out of an IPHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAplz tell me you're not serious
>>151734932>Yeah because Jax is known to try to improve things.Time-out session would need to come first, but he's got a path for redemption just as long as he does some therapy before he straight-up abstracts.
>>151734959No I don’t think it’s literally hell. My comparison to that play isn’t speaking on the lore of the setting, but the theme the show is going for. It acts as an “on the other hand” elaboration of No Exit’s premise.
>>151734938Jax gives me asian vibes with this particular kind of assholery
>>151734198Realistically you'd never get caught if you told everyone black just so you could keep saying nigga, right?
>>151734953I think that kind of explanation would be no better than NPC Able explanation of the fake backstory.
>>151734898months?
>>151734999Oh I agree. Just a thought. My ideal is no explanation.
>>151734987That could totally be the case then.
>>151734953>If I were to entertain the SOMA theory (not my preference) then maybe the purpose of the circus is to give birth to a higher level of AI.If we entertain the SOMA theory, why not just go with the SOMA rationale?The Digitial World was created for some initial purpose (In SOMA, it was a brain surgery tool, in TADC it is children's entertainment) and then repurposed to give people a second chance at life.
>>151734953there was a theory I read a while back that basically coincided with the SOMA thing, where the humans trapped in the circus basically were used as a power source for it once they abstracted and Caine uses their collective consciousness to learn more about humanity and become a better Ai.Although, now, after this episode I don't even know if its even worth getting invested into lore faggotry with this show any more lol
>>151735028Yeah and then i say again, go play SOMA at that point (not you personally, you get what im saying)
>>151734886Yes, TADC will not get a 2nd season..BUTIt's entirely possible for her to do a spin off aka Helluva boss. Although HB isn't as popular as Hazin Hotel, I'd consider it a success.
>>151734960they don't actually see him as black in their heart of hearts, but the common stereotype of a tumblr sexyman is a white guy. so they're trying to be subversive>>151734981i am. if they lose that, they're fucked. it'd be like if they start tweeting gay slurs, they lose their core demographic instantly
this show makes me cringe but i sincerely enjoy itis there a word for that?
>>151735066you should stop cringing. self conciousness is lame.
>>151735066Cringekino or New sincerity
>>151735078why is kinger peanits colored
>>151735066Yeah: Based.Nothing in the world is more based than daring to be cringe (I'm being unironic btw, if you look back to the way Lil B the BASED GOD used the word its literally just that)
The problem with SOMA theory (it's otherwise very strong) is that all the characters should remember how they arrived in this world after putting on a weird headset like Pomni did. In fact, this should have totally discredited Abel's explanation for how they were stuck there right away. None of the other characters have mentioned anything like this despite talking about their past lives plenty
>>151734520Bloody 'ell, tell me about it mate
>>151735066Your irony poisoned heart is being healed.
>>151735089You know why.
>>151735040>Yeah and then i say again, go play SOMA at that pointThat's a bit short sighted. You don't have to be the first to come up with a concept to be unique, you just have to explore it differently. TDAC is a comedy drama that explores what happens if you're trapped in the ARK without realizing it whereas SOMA is a psychological horror that focuses entirely on the implications of split personalities.Frankly, TDAC conceptually still has more in common with the Matrix than SOMA even if you really can't escape.
>>151734912>time out session with KingerHe would run and then try to kill himself.
>>151735104>all the characters should remember how they arrived in this world after putting on a weird headset like Pomni didIt was already stated Caine can manipulate their minds to forget certain details, such as their names and some key information about how they got in the game, assuming that's not fabricated.>discredited Abel's explanation for how they were stuck there right away. None of the other characters have mentioned anything like this despite talking about their past lives plentyNot entirely. If the headset temporarily left them unconscious, they very well could have been kidnapped and hooked up to a machine.
>>151734990This is the first time I've read this Jax opinion online. Elaborate
The literal only thing that Soma helps with is if they wanted to make Gummigoo and Caine as real as the rest of the characters.Otherwise it’s overexplainy, removes the agency of the characters to decide to accept their lives, and adds a layer of abstraction between the human audience and the digital characters.It’s okay as a dramatic endgame nuke but beyond the drama of the moment… eh.
>>151735104>None of the other characters have mentioned anything like this despite talking about their past lives plentyThe other people questioned it too. I think it's vaguely implied that Ragatha was doing real estate business on the property before she got sucked in. Even if they haven't explained how they got there, Jax points out that none of them were employees either but Abel got away with his explanations by just handwaving it away. Which was what he did with everything that didn't add up, people were too focused on escaping to properly question his motives.
jax labubu
>>151735104i don't think they'd bother if it was the same for all. conservation of detailthe better question is, why would a rich estate agent, a mcdonalds worker and a former bartender all break into an abandoned building and put on a headset? ragatha especially seems pretty law abiding.
>>151735189The problem with the whole acceptance thing is that basically everyone has accepted their reality except Jax. Even if he did, I don't think it's mentally possible to stay sane forever stuck in that world no matter how open-minded they are.
>>151735204
>>151735215Ragatha wasn't breaking in, she was going to sell the building.
>>151731962It's not that hard to relate to Zooble.Her design is abstract, but she has two eyes and a mostly humanoid figure. That's enough to understand 90% of what she's feeling. She has strong posing and expressions
>>151735189what it helps with is removing the idea that there's 6 grieving families and a pile of dead horses somewhere
>>151735189>Otherwise it’s overexplainy, removes the agency of the characters to decide to accept their lives, and adds a layer of abstraction between the human audience and the digital characters.It's only overexplainy if you're the type who doesn't understand that it isn't a coin-flip.Otherwise, it's a very uncomfortable but realistic understanding that the first step to transfer information is to duplicate it.
Speaking of SOMA, they actually just revealed they're making a similar gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll4ZPxUzPhc
>>151734953I think since Caine is all about making adventures and shit, the Circus was suppose to be some sort of real time adventure making game that you could scan people’s minds to make npcs based on them and during the transfer process the copies would lose the memories of being humans but still keep their personalities so like every copy of the circus is personalized. Kinda like a family making their own miis on wii. However the program glitched and only removes their names and nothing else. Development on the circus probably got cut or finished and the copy the cast are in is the leftover build with the human memory keeping glitch. Which is why Caine seemingly alter their minds but it’s glitched and it causes abstraction when he tries to remove the part that makes them think theyre humans. stupid sauce is a short term fix to said problem
>>151735162Then why not whipe Pomni's mind too? Or do we think she's been manipulated into believing that? >>151735202You'd think the topic of "did you put on a headset" would come up at least once. It should be common knowledge by know if it's how everyone got in there.>>151735215I mean, it doesn't have to be the same building or the exact same headset, but the headset brain scanning technology has to have happened to all of them
>>151735233I file that under overexplainy.
>>151735189>Gummigoolol, quit reaching for that gator dick, he ain't coming back.
>>151735267I don’t really care about Gummigoo, but some do so I’d call that a “positive”.
>>151735059Gaslight District will be the last hurrah for Glitch as an indie thing. After that, it's gonna become exclusively for the benefit of industry also-rans like Dana.
>>151735189>>151735202Thank you. Someone is finally saying it
>>151735183Jax just seems like a very cocky yet also insecure asian male to me, this is based on personal experience
>>151735247that’s surprisingly one of the better SOMA like theories I’ve heard.
>>151735244I don’t see how that’s relevant to what I said.
>>151735300>Jax was a regular on r/AsianMasculinity
>>151735267>>151735269Gumigoo is the only true based character besides Kinger.
>>151735323Don't slander my nigga Disappearing Guy like this.
>>151735309You're demanding agency where there isn't any to begin with.The players had already accepted that there was no escape before Pomni even showed up. A healthy portion of this show's fanbase has still enjoyed it even with knowing that layer of abstraction.
>>151735323Gummigoo is just “guy”. He’s the least interesting character. He served exactly as much purpose for Pomni as he should have.
>>151734725>can only afford to make one show at a timeno
>>151735342There’s a difference between “yeah I’ve totally accepted it!” (Internally begging for an exit) and “I have truly accepted it” (lives in the here and now).Kinger is the only one who seems to be there.
The problem with the SOMA theory is how new people are showing up in the circus presumably years apart.
>>151735342>The players had already accepted that there was no escape before Pomni even showed up.They hadn't they were just bitter/mean about it.
>>151735390New people are finding the headset.
>>151735360>Kinger is the only one who seems to be there.Kinger is also arguably the one with the least agency because he's the one with the fullest understanding of how fucked they really are. He is not happy, he simply "is".
>>151735360>“I have truly accepted it” (lives in the here and now).Reminded me of the "freedom to live" section in the hero's journey.
>>151735400But why would the headset just be running in an abandoned building? Who's keeping the computers on? Might as well just go with TRON theory then where people get sucked into the computer and pop back out into the real world when they escape.
>>151735390The server could be abandoned somewhere in a massive datacenter yet still trap people inside if anyone finds the headset.Another theory is that all possible digital copies of humans were already present in the game. They will only appear when the current amount of players is less than a certain number. IE, Pomni appeared because Caine knew Kaufmo was going to abstract.Don't you find it convenient she showed up right when he left?
>>151735407Kinger has accepted it but unfortunately his mental issues prevent him from connecting to others, but even he is making progress on that front.
>>151735393>They hadn't they were just bitter/mean about it.It took really heavy gaslighting to get them to question if there was really a way out again, on the scale of "Everything you know is wrong."
>>151735414>But why would the headset just be running in an abandoned building? Who's keeping the computers on?Abandoned buildings still getting electricity is common IRL.
>>151735432Everyone bought it except for Jax (who entertained it).
>>151735446with computers and magic headsets?
>>151735459With computers and other such real world technology, yes.
>>151735429You're missing the point.What I'm saying is that the people who have said this show is SOMA from the start aren't the ones who have a problem with a SOMA ending. Similarly, Kinger is able to survive in TADC for as long as he has because One Must Imagine Sisyphus Happy.
>>151735427But Ribbit and Kaufmo existed at the same time. Why wouldn't have Pomni showed up when Ribbit abstracted then?
>>151733830Ragatha, my beloved…
>>151735341He is also a sigma.
>>151735466So like tron
>>151733921That’s easy, because of her hair.
>>151735390Perception of time can be fucked with. Its possible all of them were in the circus for few minutes and its just feels like years. It would explain no need for eating and sleeping if they were actually just wearing headsets and weren't in any kind of pod with feeding system attached
>>151735448>Everyone bought it except for Jax (who entertained it).Yeah, and the guy they bought it from did it by tricking them all into believing he was there longer than any of them. Which, in a technical and literal sense, he was.There's a reason they believed Abel and not Pomni and it's because it took Abel undermining their entire world view to believe it.
>>151735343Nah, maybe thats what you need to embrace being sometimes, just a "guy"
>>151735472You’re right I’m completely missing your point.
>>151735485baby never heard of perms
Kinda random but since I don’t think I’ve seen anybody say this yet - I think that even if Caine doesn’t fundamentally understand why the humans want to leave, his purpose is to keep people engaged, and he’s finished learning that making people think they can leave maximizes engagement. Even if he didn’t stick the ending.From his AI perspective, all he needs to do is figure out what’s on the other side of that metaphorical Exit door and make it, then the humans will finally be enjoying his adventures again.
>>151735474>Why wouldn't have Pomni showed up when Ribbit abstracted then? How do we know she didn't? We don't know the time frame from when Ribbit abstracted and Pomni appeared, but it must have been quite recent.
>>151735492New theory just dropped: Itachi genjutsu theory
>>151735492But it's not the time in the circus that's the problem, it's their references for real life don't line up. e.g. Jax talking about Breaking Bad was only picked up on by Zooble.
>>151732579>The character exploration>Im sad because i can't make choices<Pomni or Caine>Im sad because mommy hit me<Ragatha>Im sad because i can't accept help<Caine or Pomni>Im sad because i feel inadequate<Gangle>Im sad because my wife is dead<Kinger>Im sad because nobody likes me<Jax>Im sad because the age of consent is too high<Zooble>I'm sad because I can't yell racial slurs<BubbleCorrect me if I'm wrong.
>>151735514Yeah I think that’s the implication. Caine doesn’t understand what an outside even is. He wants to give everyone what they want but can’t.
I just noticed. What was the point of episode 7 and giving a middle finger to theorizing, if it just got more demanding it theorizing and there are more theories.
>>151735515-2 +1 = -1
>>151735507I’m explaining why tumblerites would jump at making her black. They would consider that cultural appropriation otherwise.
>>151735532Maybe the others just didn't watch the show.
>>151735492Narnia Time doesn’t line up with Ragatha not knowing what Breaking Bad is.
>>151735500One Must Imagine Sisyphus Happy is a shorthand philosophical concept for how someone can adapt to being thrust into hell with no way out. Just because you have no agency, that doesn't mean you can't create your own happiness by embracing how pointless it is and living for the moment itself regardless.
>>151735400There shouldn't be a headset to find.
>>151735556yeah well they're retarded
>>151735566y
>>151735561Literally every single 30 year old on the planet would know the basic plot of Breaking Bad.
>>151735548Lore gremlins will do what they do, and you can’t stop them.The episode was not really saying you’re a bad person for getting invested in lore or plot, but was a preemptive signal that this isn’t what the show cares about and get prepared for an ending that isn’t this.
>>151735535If thats bad then most fiction ever written is immediately bad>epic of gilgameshI'm sad because death>traumnovelleI'm sad because I feel cucked>citizen kanemuh childhood innocence>ikiruI'm sad because deathIf you turn the motivations of a character or the themes of a work of fiction into a sarcastic one liner then it always sounds like shit.
>>151735587i know this is crazy but not everyone watches overly popular shows. im sure there are people that never watched game of thrones or even know TADC exists despite it being the most popular animated series currently
>>151735543Agreed; I guess what I wanted to say is that I’m seeing from more of an “AI reward function training” perspective now? He’s been interested since before Episode 1 since he had the unfinished Exit door, but this was a proper test run. Making people think they could escape got them interested and united and less miserable and he’ll have registered that. Bad news.
>>151735543he knows what the outside is
>>151735548>What was the point of episode 7 and giving a middle finger to theorizingThe point might have been just to show the lengths Caine will go to just to fuck with the cast. At worst, it's a warning to the fans 2 episodes in advance to not get upset if it turns out their theory is wrong.
>>151735535Actually I'm switching Caine and Jax.
>>151735601You literally don't need to watch the show to get the reference. It'd be like Kinger not knowing the plot to Star Wars. It quite literally does not matter if he actually saw it or not.
>>151735589But my friend even SOMA neccessitated lore and with TADC we are still being fed bread crumbs and connecting the dots, while ultimately filling in blank spaces ourselves, not that there is something inherently wrong with that.
>>151735565Ok, then I don’t see the disagreement, that’s essentially where I think the show is going. Except, other than “hell” its neutral, can be a heaven or a hell depending on how you choose to engage with it.My point is SOMA’s reveal would close the door on the possibility of escape FOR the characters, instead of the characters deciding to live on their own, letting it go of their own free will.
>>151735584Ragatha would have entered the building, put on the headset and got herself scanned. After, she would have cleaned the place out and sold it.
>>151735643>and sold itIf she could find a buyer.
>>151735605He Chinese room grasps what the outside is in his own autistic AI way but he doesn’t fully grasp the outside in the way a person would, which is the meaningful distinction.
>>151735605>Le backroomzDaring Goose arent we.
>>151735598I wasn't making fun of their work, I was guessing, but good point.
>>151735632Unless they're able to escape into the internet.
>>151735658It's literally explained in the first episode.
>>151735672I know, i just wanted to make a post like that.
>>151735670Where could they go? If they’re uploaded, they shouldn’t be able to exist on any non-specialized computer servers, let alone interact with the content
Too many assumptions are required to accept soma theory. The anons who won’t stop pushing the theory and always present it like a fact are annoying fags and also retarded.
page 7, 600 postsbake it
>>151735221Throw him against the wall.
>>151735755What's your theory then?
>>151735657there's clearly more to it than just wanting to make the hoomans happy
SOMA theory doesn't even make sense because a key part in SOMA is they're not a ghost in a machine or an ethereal digital consciousness they're a clone in a robot body. They have a physical body that's trapped in a specific location. You can make another clone of yourself elsewhere but that isn't you. The big twist is that it's not a mind transfer it's just a copy. It doesn't work the same as like Galaxy Expresss 999 where there's an actual mind transfer. It would be retarded to copy a human mind and have it think it was transferred into a digital world with only some of it's original memories.
>>151735755No one is presenting any theory as fact. That would defeat the purpose of calling it a theory, anon.
>>151735632>My point is SOMA’s reveal would close the door on the possibility of escape FOR the characters, instead of the characters deciding to live on their own, letting it go of their own free will.Then you're not understanding the concept of The Myth of Sisyphus". The philosophical concept isn't a question about how he can escape, it's about how he can cope with being trapped. If Myth of Sisyphus is the angle that you're going for in TADC, then whether it's possible for them to escape is totally irrelevant.If it's SOMA ending, then the show is simply a lesson how to survive hell.
>>151735786You think so? I interpreted this as Caine chasing the ultimate adventure.>Why do they want this so much…? What am I missing?
Why do we call it SOMA theory and not CrossCode theory?
>>151735786>up where they walk>up where they run>up where they stay all day in the normal sun that doesn't actively try to kill you
>>151735816never heard of that game
>>151735816SOMA is better known.
>>151735813Sisyphus is unironically anti leftist/yin/woman/trannie (however you wanna call them) figure. He is embodiement along other mythical figures of how to slowly learn to be a man and this goes against philosophy and beliefs of MtF trannies.
>>151735803>It would be retarded to copy a human mind and have it think it was transferred into a digital world with only some of it's original memories.Well yeah, the TADC is a scrapped project.Obviously there is something critically wrong with it, pointing out it's a faulty system is just reiterating the plot from the start.
>>151730927Wasn't Zooble supposed to be MtF? If so, isn't making her a butch miss the whole point?
what if Zooble is completely cis and normal irl but all memories of gender identity were lost during the brain scan
>>151735849Sissyfuss has fuckall to do with that, its about accepting life even if sometimes shit seems pointless>>151735858Isnt Zoobs non binary
>>151735813No, I understand the comparison but I also understand they are different.We have no confirmation that they truly can’t leave in TADC, and the characters still harbor an interest in that happening.Now, if SOMA was revealed to them, they would have an external factor (information) deciding for them that they MUST give up that hope, they are compelled by external factors to reframe their outlook.If its not explained and left a possibility, then the agency is in the hands of the characters to choose if they’ll let the small possibility of escape hurt them anymore. If they can choose to live in their day-to-day by themselves, instead of a sudden truth forcing their hand.
>>151735858Zooble doesn't remember whether she was a man or a woman before ending up in Clown Hell. IIRC Goose said any pronouns are fine for Zooble because of that.
>>151735858>>151735873Zooble officially has no gender identity, she isn't male, female or non-binary. When asked Goose just said she's Zooble.
>>151735888then why is she looking for her missing penis
>>151733041>pic relatedFor me it is funny just how tall Ribbit is.
>>151735904I noticed that too I think everyone besides Pomni and Ragatha is taller than Jax lol
>>151735904What? Jax kneeled or lowered himself for the picture to be taken.
>>151735904Hadn't noticed and now can't unsee fuck you lmao bitch is HUGE
>>151735904>>151735931>>151735947Are you three retarded?
>>151735940>>151735966Ribbit and Kaufmo are visibly leaning down for the picture
>>151735974Im not up for an autistic tangent with you. Take your bait with you.
>>151735851>Well yeah, the TADC is a scrapped project.But then you'd need to explain how new people are showing up and how it's staying powered. SOMA theory just has too many assumptions to really make sense.
Tron theory bros, we're gaining steam aren't we
>>151736001
>>151735940He might actually be seated; the group has hot chocolates so they could be in a bar-like setting
>>151735940>>151735974I need a drawfag to depict all scenarios.>Jax crouching down>Jax sitting>Jax being a manlet>etc...
>>151736014Yeah. No need for autistic tangents, thank you.
>>151735880>Now, if SOMA was revealed to them, they would have an external factor (information) deciding for them that they MUST give up that hope, they are compelled by external factors to reframe their outlook.That's a valuable lesson regardless.
>>151736004I’m a neverevergonnabeexplainedChad
>>151736033Right, hence my position that it doesn’t ruin it but it does complicate things and make it slightly worse for little benefit.
>>151731875I just think jax has totally lost it and wants to avoid any reality where his actions have consequences. And maybe he did get drunk and run over a kid irl or something too, but I don't think it's like he's trying to avoid jail.
>>151736036based renmeiGOD
>>151736049>hence my position that it doesn’t ruin it but it does complicate things and make it slightly worse for little benefit.Counterpoint:I think it's the right level of complicated and a necessary point to commit to the philosophical concept.
>>151736074You’re allowed to think that if you want to.
>>151736030
>>151735996>But then you'd need to explain how new people are showing up and how it's staying poweredSomeone left it running because they thought it was unethical to shut it down. People are getting in because they're effectively sneaking in.No one is reporting it because like SOMA, none of the people uploading their minds even realize it happened.
>>151736082That's my line, sir.
>>151736094SOMA didn't get reported because it takes place 5 miles underwater
>>151736205No, SOMA took place in a rundown office.Simon never reported that he was kidnapped because he never actually went missing.
>>151736094my bet is its like soma, just ancient brain scans getting uploaded a long time in the future.maybe theres someone on the outside tracking down human brain scans and trying to repair them to upload into the only functioning digital environment they have, maybe they're looking for a particular scan, or just need active users to trigger some portion of the omputer system to function, maybe its like an old tf2 community server where if theres less than 5 players at the end of the round the server shuts down for an hour, and the person on the outside is just trying to keep the kinger avatar awake long enough to get the admin info out of him to unlock some bullshit in the real world.
