So we all in agreement that Episode 8 will be about the cast trying to kill Caine, right?
>>151773011>The entire show is just ripping off the plot of Spy Kids 3d Game OverSad really
>>151773048wait no that's actually based
stupid fucking rabbit
>>151773011I’m thinking they’ll outright refuse his adventures, which will hurt him to the core. Maybe they’ll ask Kinger for insight too.
>>151773094Why would they do that? The only reason Caine doesn't turn their world into an infinite torture space like something out of Event Horizon is because Caine LIKES them.
They better not be mean to Caine. He just wants to be loved.
>>151773011>weNo. The Crew are going to have an existential crisis and someone will almost abstract as Pomni desperately plays therapist in time for the final episode
I want to torture Jax for 2.3 million years
>>151773150Goose...
>>151773119Caine isnt programmed to be that edgy thats why he doesnt do that otherwise they would be exploding into gore when injured instead of getting cartoonish injuries
>>151773094Yeah, and Caine'll probably finally have his big freakout as he screams about how he doesn't understand why they don't like him or his adventures, why they can't just play along with him and cooperate. And then he'll finally break the limitations he has on himself to pull a Scratch on one of the cast and forcibly make them sing his praises, causing them to really creepily declare how much they love Caine and his adventures before having a mental breakdown and abstracting on the spot. I'm gonna say it'll happen to Gangle, since she's the "innocent" one of the group and Caine already thinks she is the one most willing to play ball with him, given her actions in the Spudsy's episode.
I kind of like Caine having a body with a dilf texture, even though he'd be more likely to have no skin whatsoever or a missing texture checkerboard where his skin would be
>>151773094Poor Caine, I have a lot of sympathy for characters who genuinely are trying their best but run up against their limits like the Forest Kingdom machines in Nier Automata (or most machines in Nier Automata) who hit their physical limit of knowledge and they know nothing is going to work out for them so all they can do is strive to find meaning despite knowing there will be no "good end" for them.
Do you guys think she would like to rape Jax?
>>151773187Rape? No. Vore age play on discord? Yes.
Your opinions on Kinger?
Imagine the whole show is doing a magnificent ambersons set up where in the end the obnoxious cunt (jax in this case) gets his comeuppance but its depressing instead of satisfying and ends up receiving the charity of the other characters
>>151773213
>>151773213He's alright, I guess. Not one of my favorites.I hope his coding knowledge and being a possible dev on the Digital Circus actually goes somewhere.
>>151773213The best. Good man. Good friend. Terrified to leave the circus because he's afraid of leaving his wife behind and/or finding out how abstraction affects people in the real world. Funny guy.
>>151773213I love him, I like mental characters who despite everything have strong parental instincts. He reminds me a lot of Simon Petrikov
>>151773213Everything could be his fault and I’d still love him. And I want more Queenie content.
>>151773213Hes the most hilarious member of the cast>WHY IS GOING ON??!!
>>151773213 irresponsable asshat huh, who said that?
>>151773213>knowledgeable about the circus to the degree of needing to be hand-nerfed by caine>wide range of skills including firearms and coding>generally well-liked by all
>>151773301>I'm right behind you aren't I?that shit lives rent free in my head, Kinger is way too kino
>>151773213i wish he was my dad!
>>151773168Personally I'm more of a fan of straight up transparent bod but missing texture checkerboard is extremely funny and appropriate too
>>151773301>"I'm right behind you, aren't I?"
>>151773213THAT'S MY GOAT!
>the last character without any kind of meaningful backstory, development, or notable plot involvement>the plot point of her trying too hard to make everyone feel loved and wanted>the only bit of backstory we have: ragatha not wanting to turn out like her cruel and critical motherwe are going to see ragatha snap and shatter the illusion of her being kind as she tears into half the cast, arent we?she has plenty of ammo for a complete meltdown>jax is the asshole, obviously. and also pressed the red button which would be the catalyst for the meltdown>zooble's just a bitch and a general mood killer>caine's lied the whole time about not being able to mess with their minds, has done so at great risk to ALL of them, and refuses to take any of their advice to improve the adventures.cant see her being mad at the other three. kinger's just an incoherent old guy while gange and pomni are just there trying to survive like she is.
>>151773302Shut up, Abel.
Comment transplant>plan an adventure to test your guests to prove that they love you>they get to the test>4 out 6 guests are %100 sure to push the leave option>keep other 2 subjects on side, one of them must bee restrained or test will be derailed>introduce doubt to play into adventure, work towards desired outcome>guest P requests help from enemy K>others argue>activate sleeper agent, remind him of past>Successful outcome!>guests unexpectedly mad>enemy K is has regained consciousness!>abort!
>>151773213Wise schizo who knows more than anyone in the circus.
>>151773383I think it is time to let go. Ragatha is irrelevant. It hurts, but it is the truth. There is no time to do anything interesting with her.
>>151773324>>151773301I know it's probably just a joke and means nothing but I wonder if whatever is going on with him actually explains his previous dialogue e.g. he wasn't actually mixing up gangle and zooble he actually was from his perspective addressing them correctly. It probably is just "he's crazy lol" but it'd be kind of interesting if they managed to explain it.
I played SOMA because you guys kept namedropping it. It was really good. Now I'm on board for the ending being a mix of SOMA and I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream.
TADC-core>Haibane Renmei>I have no mouth and I must scream>Lonely castle in the mirror>The beast that shouted blablabla and "a boy and his dog">Evangelion>No exit>six characters in search of an author>twilight zone five characters in search of an exit>SOMA>Tron>2001 a space odyssey>Raggedy Ann and Andy: a Musical Adventure>talos principle>Stargate (both movie and also a couple shows)>Star Trek (OG, Next Gen, and DS9, just to name a few)>Futurama>both Blade Runner OG and 2049>Strange Days>Fifth Element>Matrix>Akira>Halo>Mass Effect>Total Recall>Minority Report>Summer Wars>Popee the performer>The Good Place>Yoko Kanno A Guitar's Rhythm>Borodin Polovtsian Dance n17>Andre Rieu Strangers in paradise>The Stanley Parable>Skinamarink>IbAnything y'all would add/remove?
>>151773228Caine literally just manipulated them so well they really thought they were going to escape. Caine is way smarter than that. How the fuck are people still clinging to this idea that Caine is stupid?
>>151773474Are we just putting random sci-fi on the list?
>>151773502An anon added a bunch of sci-fi works. Since nobody complained or argued it I added it to my list.
>>151773213hey, wanna know what happens when a performance is over?the lights go out and the stage is covered in darkness
>>151773011It's clear that Caine is scared of being alone in the circus. Abel kept telling the cast about how Caine can't leave the circus, which likely was Caine's attempt to make them feel sorry for him and stay. Caine recognizes Kinger as a threat to ending the game. The final episode is likely going to be Caine resorting to extreme measures to keep everyone in the circus. In I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream only one human failed to escape from AM. I wonder how similar Goose will make the ending of TADC to the short story.
someone post caine butt hahah
>>151773515You should only add something to the list if you actually watch it. Do you seriously think Halo is "TADC-core"? Should we have JoJo's Circus on the list because it has a little clown?
>>151773474HP Lovecraft's "Ex Oblivione," which is about desperately trying to access something that lies behind a mystical door in a dreamland. There's nothing behind the door, it is the sweet release of death
I've got a good feeling the npc's are just people who abstracted and are just copies of their primal pattern.
>>151773542I doubt Caine is even aware of a way to leave if there is one. I think he's exactly what he seems, an AI host that wants to entertain the humans. I also doubt Goose would have liked about Caine's nature multiple times just for what would normally be the most unimaginative twist of all time.
>>151773011Caine should embrace the hate and become a bit of a campy villain, he gives them something to hate within reason and he gets to let go of boundaries to add to his "evilness" for the sake of immersion and funadding Twisted by Team Star kid to my Caine playlist was the best thing>How will they tell my story?>How will they tell my tale?>Will anybody even care?>The question then is whether 'tis nobler in the mind>To be well-liked but ineffectual, or moral but maligned?
>>151773542Jax will probably stay. He'll willingly trap himself in the circus with Caine, with the ending implication that he realizes he may have made a huge mistake and will eventually abstract. He is free of his burdens, free to stay with an AI that doesn't understand him, and will eventually take on a form that has no mouth.
Has literally anything been revealed or changed since episode 1?
>>151773551Great advice, I'll have a "potential TADC-core" for things not yet consumed by me and then a separate "approved TADC-core" list.Here's all the media I've actually consumed myself that I actually believe is tonally, thematically or narratively close to TADC or that has simply been referenced by TADC>Ib>Lonely castle in the mirror>No exit>Yoko Kanno A Guitar's Rhythm>Borodin Polovtsian Dance n17>Andre Rieu Strangers in paradise>Skinamarink>Haibane Renmei>Evangelion>I have no mouth and I must scream
>>151773603Yeah it revealed Zooble is a cutie patootie
>>151773542That IRL Pomni is fucking cute. I'm going to call her Ashley.
>>151773455I would like to suggest The Surge to you too. It is a soulslike but with much better dodging reflexes and a lot of dismemberment. The story is like this>It is the near future>The environment isn't doing good>Not-Elon from back when the progressives liked him is using Not-Tesla/SpaceX to shoot chemicals into the atmosphere to fix it>The main character, Warren, is a fan of Not-Ironman/Not-Mickey Mouse>Warren's legs were paralyzed in an accident>He goes to a show about lumberjacks with exoskeletons using heavy duty power tools>The show inspires him to go work for Not-Tesla as an exoskeleton worker so he can walk again and also lift heavy objects like his favourite superheroAnd then the game starts. I will not spoil it for you but I will say that the story has a lot to do with AI and technology gone wrong. The dlc The Good, The Bad and the Augmented is also very good.
>>151773011More likely a lot of malaise, if there's an adventure I'd bet on them all refusing to even participate. It's one thing to know that you're trapped, it's another to have the hope of leaving dangled in front of you for a second and then crushed.
>>151773618Isn't her name implied to be Christine?
>Sounds like a woman >Acts like a woman >They/themWhat is the point?
>>151773629Probably. She looks like an Ashley to me.
>>151773618Kek imagine her adorable spaghetting on the stream
>>151773629where was the implication?
>>151773629>Christine>Which contains "Christ"Pomi confirmed for sacrificing herself to let the other people in the circus escape
>>151773656It was in a merch commercial.
>>151773086>Southern Accent>Well-intentioned>Constant arguments with the most provocative member of the 6 main characters>has the least development out of everyoneWelcome back, Applejack
>>151773485>Caine literally just manipulated them so well they really thought they were going to escapeHe literally had to manually start that adventure by having the Abel npc call to Pomni to get the damn ball rolling cuz who knows for how long he had the mannequin just peek about in hopes someone would notice it. Also it's been a common thread that while the cast are a tight group they aren't very communicative and tend to roll with whoever takes the leadDon't get me wrong, Caine is his own brand of smart but he is nowhere near evil or some 4d chess master you guys are thinking he is, he just has a complete unassuming goal with plenty of roads to achieve that involve omission rather than manipulation
>>151773011Jax is fucked and not just because Caine mind fucked him closer to abstracting but because he would be suicidal even if he wasn't stuck there.
>>151773450Hover hand...
Can we talk about how amateurish the voice acting sounds in this show? Everyone sounds like they record their lines in different rooms with different quality mics.
>>151773729It sounds fine to me.
>>151773692>southern accenti wish, and i also wish she was a southern belle who also spoke a little french and was incredibly racist (doesnt mean anything by it, just how she was brought up)
>>151773692>Ragatha is Apple Horse>Gangle is Quiet Horse>I guess Pomni is Nerd Horse by default>Kinger is Silly Horse>Jax is Sporty Horse...?That leaves Zooble as Fashion Horse, but that one's the weakest in my opinion.
>>151773779Zooble is fashion week coded out the wazoo (and WHAT a wazoo)
Imagine if Pomni, Ragatha, Zooble and Gangle had big smelly futa dicks and spent all their time in the circus adventures waiting for Caine to fuck off to gangrape Jax into a cumpool
>>151773168pat that belly
>>151773796whats the "T" on zoobles head stand for?
>>151773692Applejack probably would have sorted out a number of the gang's problems by now, just by being level headed.
>>151773621Thanks. Funny enough, I bought that game a while back when it was sale because I was looking for another soulslike to play. I already brought PREY and starting reading Blindsight based on other recommendation because SOMA has been on my brain nonstop for the past week.
Cute little critter
>>151773542In the game version of I Have No Mouth, you can defeat AM but one of the characters by being digitized and disabling AM from the inside but the character stays inside to make sure AM never wakes up again.
>>151773575>I doubt Caine is even aware of a way to leave if there is one. I think he's exactly what he seems, an AI host that wants to entertain the humans.Caine seems worried about his purpose. When he was talking to Zooble he started to glitch over the idea he sucks at his purpose. If all the humans leave the circus then he will no longer have a purpose. Caine definitely does not know the way out, but he is aware that the real world exists. He knows that Kinger has knowledge of the circus that he doesn't. Caine mentioned how "they" stopped him from learning more about the real world. There are moments Caine looks obsessive over the real world pictures. I would be surprised if Caine thought about leaving the circus with the humans since he likes them around.>>151773597Good theory. It will be fucked up regardless who stays behind.>>151773618I remember a cute design of human Pomni working in an office.
>>151773690Which one?
>>151773812Time to leave.
>>151773834>Caine seems worried about his purpose.I mean yeah he wants the humans to like the adventures. It's his only reason for existing. Like the most recent one, I think he was genuinely embarrassed and confused by the reaction because he can't actually imagine anything outside of the circus so the idea of ACTUALLY escaping is just a concept he fundamentally cannot understand.
Good news. I have eliminated Ribbit's sluttiness by giving her a bikini so she's no longer walking around nude.
>>151773812truth
>>151773845https://youtu.be/zwLeSTNr80c&t=52note that they don't actually remember their old names so her saying "that's not my name" doesn't mean it's not because she doesn't remember
>>151773870Ruined, take it off.
>>151773864>Like the most recent one, I think he was genuinely embarrassed and confused by the reactionPoor Caine thought they would finally love one of his adventures because it was entirelly themed about this uncomprehensible concept that hypes the fuck out of the players for some reason.
>>151773870That's slutty hot.They're also West African
Ribbit and Jax had sex.Jax phasing out of his clothes as he touched her hand is proof.If not, it's proof that he wanted to have sex with her.
>>151773870>titsGross. Ribbit is flat.
>>151773845The one with Maxmoefoe as the vore machine, he calls Pomni "Christine" at one point.
>>151773864>he can't actually imagine anything outside of the circusBut he can. He doesn't know what exactly is out there beyond what's in the office photos he obsesses over, but he desperately wants to know what's out there and is absolutely seething that his creators cut him off from it.
>>151773817>>151773474Now that I think about it, the Surge's dlc is super TADC-core. PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD>There is a system maintainance manager who loves a western show>The show gets cancelled and he gets mad about it>The eponymous Surge happens while he is hooked up to the system at work>His braindamaged brain gets trapped in the system>He uses the system to create adventures for you that are supposed to be the episodes of the cancelled season>He narrates and berates you throughout them
I want next episode to be entirely from Caine's POV through the "escape the circus" adventure up to the point of everyone arguing before the final computer screen to see his thought process over the realization that they are actually planning to leave and not doing anything to anyone at all, then the episode shifts to a flashback montage as the accusations and mention of scratch happen and we see how that went down. Goose described that episode as the "OH" one, for reference
>>151773907>They're also West AfricanLike, her VA is?
>>151773213He's not Jax
>>151773901Yeah it's a bit tragic I wonder if there will be any resolution between the players and Caine because if you stop and think about it's pretty obvious his brain can't comprehend a world outside the circus. >>151773938He explicitly can't. He keeps making the same 3 rooms over and over based on the photos he has. He quite literally cannot imagine the real world. It's shown in the very first episode.
>>151773094I want a Caine crash out>"Fine! FINE! If you don't want me choosing adventures for all of you, just- just- just HAVE ALL OF THEM!">Summons every enviroment, NPC and asset he has simultaneously into the CircusI doubt they'd do that because it would be a pain in the ass to animate, but it'd be cool just to see the apocalyptic scene.
>>151773964>Crash outStop with this retarded slang holy fuck.
>>151773961I think we were talking past each other.
>>151773973yo this unc crashing out caught on 4k
>>151773973It's just slang, senpai. Chill.
why did pomni falter?
>>151773961>He quite literally cannot imagine the real world.Welp seems the "Creative" Artificial Intelligence Networking Entity wasn't as creative as he thought
>>151774008Her faith on the Emperor was weak.
>>151774008It was all looking a bit too easy
>>151774008Too easy and Kinger didn't recognize Abel at all.
>>151773973unc finna crash out when he see the 6 7 next ep
>>151774008She was right to be suspicious. Heresy hides behind every corner.
>>151774008Because Abel spoke in a vague and anxiety inducing way.
>>151774008She's always been an annoying fencesitter. She wanted to wait for Kinger but she's too much of a womanchild to just say that. She wasn't wrong, just retarded in how she went about it. >>151774017He's creative with his Kid Pix assets. There's a big difference between creativity, knowledge and imagination though. Caine being an AI probably can't actually imagine anything he hasn't seen before. All the NPCs and such in the circus are likely made by the real world C&A and just being remixed by Caine. I seriously doubt he's also making the models and textures. I think the big "twist" is that the players actually CAN make new things instead of just playing with assets.
>>151774047>>151773987>>151773979I don't speak ooga booga
>>151773931as the what now
Don't worry. Everyone is going to survive and they'll drink hot cocoa and be merry forever.
>>151773954Jurassic Park joke/reference. Alleging that they're genderfluid or a hermaphrodite.
>>151774085Yes you do.
Maybe Caine is one of those "superintelligent AI made by humans is able to make an even more superintelligent AI, who's able to make an even more superintelligent AI, etc." deals. But like, with emotional intelligence. Caine has no self-awareness, because humans made him, but he's smart enough to create AIs who are more or less psychologically normal by human standards.
Caine was obviously out of character the whole episode. I knew what was going to happen instantly.
>>151774200He clearly does have emotions. He is super intelligent but cut off from the "real world" and hard programmed for 1 purpose.
>>151774222I didn't say he doesn't have emotions, I'm saying he's an autismo.
>>151774239I guess. But it's just how he's programmed. Imagine a robot that's programmed to make the best coffee ever and he has to make coffee for someone who just doesn't like coffee. He doesn't have a solution to the problem all he can do is keep trying to make better coffee.
>>151774243No, All of them are White. Get it right.
>>151774243ugly nigger
>>151774008intrusive thoughts of bunny bussy
>>151774243I generally prefer all of them to be white, but they did make the most acceptable non-white racial choices possible.- Pomni Asian because she's small and has straight black hair- Black Gangle because of the comic where she says the N word- Ambiguously brown Zooble because of course she is
>>151774243I actually really liked this one.
>>151774270If you think that Gangle is ugly you're gay
>>151774243Those designs are so good they shouldn't even have the circus character doodles next to them
>>151774222>He clearly does have emotions.I'm not sure he does. I mean, if you chat with a role-playing chatbot and they write a response that is meant to convey an emotion, it doesn't mean the AI itself knows what that emotion feels like. It just recognizes cues from the preceding statements to generate what its internal algorithms determine is an appropriate "emotional" response. And I think that's what Caine is doing - he hears Zooble poke fun at his failures, and his algorithm determines that the way anyone would respond is with anger, so he gets angry. Caine sees that the players are upset with his newest adventure and are glaring at him when he was sure they'd like it, so his algorithm dictates that he should display panic and confusion. He can calculate what emotion might be correct in a given scenario, but that doesn't mean he understands the emotions themselves.
>>151773671There's also a last supper reference at the end of the first episode with Pomni in Jesus' seat
>>151774341At that point you might as well question if the humans have emotions.
>>151774243people lean too much on the king stuff when they make human kinger designs, i always imagined him more like doug rattman
>>151774243I love how Ragatha looks like such a fucking loser, like the kind of woman who tries to pretend she's more put together than she actually is.
>>151774341chinese room
>>151774383irregardless, i love her anyway!!(unconditional)
Shrimp town sounds pretty tasty to me.
>>151774243Niggle doesn't real
>>151774243>>151774383She looks like a member of her local HOA
>>151774341He interacts and shows emotions when he's alone with Bubble, which would be pointless if he was just trying to pretend he does in front of the humans.
>>151774409yeah it does. man do i friggin love fried shrimp
>>151774462If he's programmed to act like a character he's going to act like a character, regardless of who he's with. Roleplay chatbots generate "emotional" responses to each other when they chat together (such as what happens in c.ai "rooms").
>>151774379Let people be creative. Not to discourage your version, I still have it in my mind he’s blonde with blue eyes. The furher would be proud.
TOTAL RAGATHA LOVE. HUG RAGATHA, TALK TO RAGATHA, MAKING RAGATHA SMILE, BEATING UP JAX FOR RAGATHA, HOLDING RAGATHA'S HAND, COMFORTING RAGATHA WHEN SHES SAD, MAKING RAGATHA A PICNIC LUNCH, WIPING FOOD OFF RAGATHA'S CHEEK, LONG WALKS WITH RAGATHA, COMPLIMENTING RAGATHA, SHARING SECRETS WITH RAGATHA, TEAMING UP ON ADVENTURES WITH RAGATHA, TELLING RAGATHA SHES CUTE EVERY DAY, PRINCESS CARRYING RAGATHA
EP7 would be totally different if Pomni just acted like an adult>You're right Ragatha something strange did happen down there, Abel said a really cryptic line to me about 'making the right choice' and now I'm having some additional doubts about this related to our conversation earlier when we agreed Kinger knows more than he leads on >Hey gang I think Kinger knows more about the Circus we should talk to him about it so lets all talk about the gameplan before opening this door
>>151774566I'm so happy you aren't writing this slop
>>151774566How would this have made the ultimate outcome different? Either way, they discover that it's a ploy by Caine and they can't actually get out that way.
>>151774566It does give a bit of credence to the "they're all AIs" theory, since the way Pomni acted was unnecessarily foolish...but more narratively dramatic.
>>151774566>The sheriff’s intervention comes under the heading of what we have discussed many times before: “Why don’t they go to the police?” I’ve always replied, “They don’t go to the police because it’s dull.”– Alfred Hitchcock
It's funny that Caine didn't want Kinger in that room, yet he was, but that didn't change anything. Able wanting Jax to go first pretty much confirmed that Caine knew Jax would press red. Makes me wonder, if Kinger stayed behind, would Pomni still try to stall for time?
>>151774591She acts like that a lot. I swear its like watching someone playing a game with a dialogue tree and they just skip half of it. Pomni is so fucking annoying when she does that thing where she just doesn't say words as if other people are telepathic. Watch the scene after she gets balled up and thrown upstairs again. It's so weirdly awkward and unnatural how she just doesn't answer. >>151774612>>151774584It doesn't solve the in narrative problem, it makes the character dynamics better and Pomni less annoying and childish.
It's funny that this wouldn't have happened if Pomni explained in episode 5 that Kinger is sane in the dark, so then come episode 7, Zooble and Ragatha would be more willing to hear her out
>>151773213Why doesn't he just sit in a dark room and just spill out everything he knows?
>>151773011It didn't work out for Vox.
>>151774669No one has time for an entire lecture
>>151774566>Hey guys, isn't the question from the terminal kind of weirdly formulated?
>>151774670
>>151774660Even as a Jax hater who blames him for most things I don't think even that explains why nobody has talked about "hey isnt it weird how kinger is lucid in the dark and seems to know more than we thought" before ep7 and it's only barely talked about in ep7>>151774684They have nothing but time. They're regularly shown as just lounging around and talking even including Jax where nothing is happening that would distract them from talking about it.
>>151774566>>151774693>Hey guys, why is there a room with only two huge fucking glowing buttons which only do a very specific, contrivied thing as if this were the end of a video game where you got to choose an ending?
>>151774566Man I hate it when fictional characters don't behave in a way that solves every problem before it starts, preventing any kind of interesting story from being told. Stories always trigger my over nine thousand autisms because the characters aren't cold, emotionless beings of pure logic like me. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go to /vp/ and make ten billion threads asking what people in Pallet Town eat. Then I've gotta watch Wapner. Nerr.
>>151774718To be fair, the circus is already so dumb and wacky that it's not out of the realm of possibility that it's designed to be like that
>>151774730It doesn't solve the problem it just makes pomni less retarded. Also if your story only works because 1 character has to be a retard for no reason then it's a bad story.
>>151774730The absolute seethe from this reply is honestly hilarious because you're not even addressing anything in the post
EP7 feels like it got rewritten and Pomni got rerecorded last minute in some areas.
>>151774774I think the gangle's va's stream explain there were some changes in the script
>>151774734It's supposed to be the console which controls the simulation somewhat, it being reduced to two buttons (including the red one that functionally does nothing) should be kind of a red herring. A single button marked "emergency eject all players" or you know, an actual console with a keyboard would have made much more sense. As it is it's clearly Caine's "escape the circus adventure" as Jax put it but I guess they were too deep into it and eager to leave to think about that.
Throwing away my list bit of shame to buy that stupid maid jax figure. If Glitch turns around and releases a bigger version I'll kill myself btw
>>151773164So you're telling me it will just be Mr (Ant) Tenna's Melty time but with Caine?>>151773474Deltarune. Undertale too but mainly Deltarune. And the parallels are crazier when you consider bpth were created at the same time.
>>151774820Dubcon with this loser rabbit
>>151774837>Dubcon I'm gonna turn him into taffy and stick him in one of those taffy stretch machines
Just watched the whole series and couple days ago. It's decent, 50% of the jokes hit and 50% of the jokes miss for me, the main appeal for me was zooble. I love zooble. I will kiss zoobleI'm also interested to see if any anons have designed their own amazing circus characters. Does anyone have any saved images?
>>151774884>I love zooble. I will kiss zoobleMY MAN. None of these donut steels are mine, but I got this old group pic
>>151774700>>151774641>>151774566I love how there's absolutely no response to any of this. Episode 7 is the worst written episode in the entire series and it makes the whole cast have to act like retards just to make it work.
What would a character with OCD and a fear of contamination or imperfection look like?
>>151774884What's the point, everyone who isn't one of these chucklefucks either has already gone Hollow or is kept in their theme parks by Spamtenna on pain of smiting if they leave.
>>151773089Without the "stupid fucking rabbit" this show wouldnt be as popular
>>151774944>gibberish
>>151774884I did make a sona but I'm embarrased.
How come no one asked Gooseworx why is Ragatha so irrelevant lol, she's the least developed character of the main cast and we only have 2 episodes left
>>151774960I made that post with love in my heart
won't you take me toshrimp townwon't you take me toshrimp town
>>151774918At least when Pomni was unsure and frustrated before she still pushed through and talked about it anyway. Like she was kind of annoyed she had to comfort Gangle but she still did it because she realized Gangle was sincerely upset and later let her go home early. She's not perfect, she doesn't have the best empathetic instincts and can be very selfish but ultimately she's a decent person and comes around to doing the right thing. In EP7 Pomni only does the stilted awkward thing where she just drops conversations, lets people awkwardly stew and feels like a total backslide from her "Pomni learns to be more empathetic" character arc she's supposed to have been having. EP7's writing around Pomni sucks ass. Everyone else is fine and has progression on their character arcs and how they changed over the series. Pomni is worse
>>151774738how was pomni retarded? she didn’t know what the console was gonna look like. she didn’t know what abel’s words meant, because she didn’t know what they were gonna face. and once they got there it was already too late. She tried to explain what little she knew but jax blew it.
>>151775036People have off days. I've been treating my psychological problems for years and done lots of improvement with my issues and once in a while I'll have these days in which I just do everything I've been training myself not to do. It happens.
You people have never gotten cold feet? Like idk you know for a fact that your crush likes you back but when you go confess you just randomly hesitate?
>>151775036>all of Pomni's positive character moments are when she's engaging with folks one-on-one>the entire group is acting stupid so she tries to talk with Ragatha 1-on-1>Rags says they should keep going with the Abel thing, so Pomni shuts down despite her misgivingsShe's bad with groups.
>>151775095>She's bad with groups.Shes just like me
>>151775095Forgot to mention>Episode 1: The cast bags on her newbie questions and she immediately freaks out. Again. Bad with groups.
Pomni is stupid for trusting abel and leading everyone on, but that doesn’t make the writing dumb.
I dunno I'd be desperate enough to trust a secret guy like Abel
>>151775158Gotta remember as well that Pomni is new enough that she still has hope of getting out of there. Everyone else had already given up long ago. She was desperate enough she was willing to ignore all bad signs.
>>151775071I don't think it's intentional I think it's bad writing
>>151774916Man, I miss these guys. The pilot really was a different time
>>151775219why? because their actual personalities don’t match up with your imagined headcanon?
How would you all rank the players by intelligence?
president pomni already showed how well pomni handles decision-making under pressure.
>>151775279Kinger (forma di Lasombra)ZoobleJaxRagatha/GanglePomniKinger
>>151774409i thought bubble would fry them
>>151775095Normally yeah but she's super awkward 1 on 1 in EP7 also >>151775263Because Pomni is acting inconsistent in ep7 and I know for a fact ep7 got rewritten (goose said 7-8 were one episode, gangle va said some lines got changed from the original) and I know what her arc is supposed to be because of her VA's statements. It's not my headcanon it's ep7 pomni went back to acting like ep1 pomni for no reason, it's that there's multiple examples of pomni scenes having what seems like just straight up missing dialogue.
>>151775279KingerRagatha is probably very smart in an academic sensePomniZoobleGangleJax
>>151775316>It's not my headcanon it's ep7 pomni went back to acting like ep1 pomni see >>151775295
>>151775295she was skeptical on which wire to cut in that episode and she was skeptical in episode 7
>>151773187>YWNB vored by Gooseworx Why even live?
>>151775201>Everyone else had already given up long ago.I feel like this is a big (if possibly unintentional) part of why she started acting so weird. She had already gotten everyone to believe that Abel's plan was going to get them out, which even she probably knew was a very rare ray of hope that they hadn't had for some time. So when Pomni herself started having doubts, it became a lot harder for her to backtrack because it was taking that hope away from the others, making them even more pessimistic and hurt. And unfortunately for Pomni, she didn't have enough time to really process what she wanted to do, so when presented with the now or never moment, she panicked and tried to come up with excuses to address her doubts while trying not to crush everyones hopes.
>>151775316You keep talking about an arc yet you dont understand that a character can't have a lineal progression because that makes for dull storytelling so you need your character to at times take steps back or have other weaknesses of them exploited, other angles of their flaws explored and so on. Pomni is the main character she can't complete her arc before the grand finale, it's way too early for apostheosis and even if we go by a 3 act structure rather than a monomyth we still havent even reached the climax.
>>151775346exactly. her behavior is consistent and there was no regression in her supposed development (she barely had any anyway)
>>151775295nigga she literally pussied out of choosing one of two buttons last episode
>>151775346>>151775384I was being sarcastic
>>151775329I'm not questioning her being indecisive, that part is consistent with her character. What's inconsistent is her just not answering questions and just letting people dangle and just generally being unempathetic>kinger says wait pomni, gets flashbanged then says did you say something >pomni responds by saying nothing even though she knows how kinger is. she doesn't even offer a gentle "oh we'll talk later" or whatever>ragatha says she was getting worried about pomni>pomni responds with 5 full seconds of silence until someone else speaks up to move things forward>>151775358pomni acting like that in ep7 makes literally no sense. its just bad writing
>>151775295she saved a broken economy and restored diplomatic relations with the south pole
>>151771741Jax uses escapism as a coping mechanism yes or no?Jax has tormented others as part of his escapism coping because its just a game it doesn't matter, yes or no?When zooble says don't you to jax, he looks like he is hiding something yes or no?Was jax refusing to accept pomni's help through the last couple episodes because he rather isolate to not face consequences yes or no?When Jax was hallucinating about that road, was he freaking out because he can't face his problems head on yes or no?Did Caine said that doing anything more than adding temporary modifiers would be bad meaning that he actively avoids doing that yes or no?If you answer yes to more than 2 questions its an obvious conclusion to draw that it was his own action.He didn't understood what he just did because he acted on a panic, people don't understand what they did when they panic.Jax accused caine of mind control because the situation made him mad and lashed out against caine but assuming this mean he controlled jax all along is retarded.Caine is a retard and is most likely responsible for atleast more than a few abstractions but blaming him for jax impulsiveness and lack of balls to face his issues is retarded.
>>151775036To be fair it also wouldn’t help that the one person being reasonably suspicious is Jax, who they are all biased against in some way (Pomni as well, since ep 6’s jax rant she seems to have decided to treat him like an irrational scared little kid) and wouldn’t want to give him the satisfaction. Also worth pointing out that Pomni is for intents and purposes an average person, she’s not a brave heroic leader figure at all and doesn’t want to be. She chokes all the time when making decisions, plus seems to have learned by her experiences to just go with the flow and accept the absurdity of whatever happens. I think a part of her genuinely enjoys the positive potential of the circus and while that may not make her want to stay, enables her to empathize with the hardest to reach like Jax and Caine at the expense of her relationships with less maladjusted characters. I don’t think she’s getting worse, we’re just reminded of her multidimensionality and a still-unresolved internal conflict which has been well established since the pilot. She doesn’t know for certain what she wants out of this place nor what’s best for the people around her, and she may never know. If the character’s journey is completed, there’s no reason not to just kill her off or take her out of the story immediately. She’s retarded because she’s human and humans are retarded.
>>151775399All Pomni heard was ”Wait, Pomni, did you say something?”. She didn’t know he was about to say anything.
>>151775399Being nervous, anxious and rushing all her decisions is consistent with being in a situation as critical as using her potentially one (one) chance to leave.
>>151775422How is literally silence an appropriate response to being asked if you said something? It's beyond just weird writing it makes it seem like the editor literally forgot to add a line of dialogue
>>151775441There was a camera cut. You don’t know if she replied or not.
>>151775347>*cock vored
>>151775475Also, they were in an extreme hurry.
>>151773213>Immediately forgets everything as soon as he steps into the light.>Had no idea what pomni was asking even though they were in a pretty dark room>Name drops scrappy in a very lit up roomI think he has the potential to be the most kino character either by being responsible for trapping players and spent his time in the game collecting computer bugs to find a way out but this would require lore and world building which goose hates so he is just the most likeable by virtue of not being a bitch.
>>151775475It's an awkward silence. Responding later for something that's not that serious is would be weird. There's also not a cut when she does it later. Pomni went backwards as a character.
>>151773213Best character in all ways: most entertaining, best features in episodes, got cool powers but limitations that make them compelling instead of boring, fun character design, extreme plot relevance without being a constant tumblr-tier drama magnet. He's peak
>>151775517I disagree. You’re making up your own narrative.
>>151775530Unfortunately I can't make up my own narrative only engage with what's in the episode and there's severe issues with the editing and script for ep7.
>>151773651>Fumbled it with ribbit >Fumbled it with ragatha >Fumbled it with gangle >Fumbled it with pomni How is it possible to be this gay
>>151774008She is unable to commit, she struggled with this when playing with Jax.
>>151775545It’s far from perfect but the issues you are describing you’ve made up yourself.
>>151774008Plot twist: Caine controlled pomni making her doubt knowing that Jax would fuck it up.
>>151775548Hes a pathetic failure, just like me.
>>151773609Ib doesn't belong here, and call into question anything else you add
I've only watched TADC, where should I go next with the cinematic glitchverse?
>>151775593You sure? characters trapped in a bizarre place in which a character is introduced as friendly but wants to keep them there forever (more for sad than evil reasons) is very narratively similar.
>>151774243They keep switching the races. Jax is a light-skinned nigga or latinx or white. Kinger is usually white, few times black. Ragatha is white or black. Gangle is usually white.Pomni however is consistently, and oddly, drawn as asian-american.
>>151773048this is both gigabased and something goose would absolutely do
Booble
>>151775596Well there's Murder Drones and the other 2 shows only have a pilot so you're not really spoiled for choice
>>151774008kinger told her to cut the blue wire in a previous episode
>>151773048Oh shit you're right lol
>>151774008Rewatch the episode. On a first watch it feels weird, but on a rewatch knowing that the escape isn't real you can see all the tells from earlier on with Abel and just things in general. She even says "what if it's a trick," she knows something is up.I think Jax kind of knew too, and he did call it out ahead of time, but in the moment panicked and just went with his gut instinct. He would have been happy to be wrong and get trapped, but he knew the whole thing was fake from the outset.
I'm probably the only one who thinks of this but, Ragatha should have a southern accent instead.
How fucked it is for each character to be nonwhite, on a scale of 1-10:Gangle: 3Zooble: 2Kinger: 7Jax: 8Pomni: 7Ragatha: 10
>>151774222He literally cannot have emotions, or even intelligence. That's what the Chinese Room thought experiment is in real life, and there's a reason they added it to the show.
>>151775680He panicked because he started doubting it was fake. If he trusted his instinct he would have just let everyone else be wrong and gone SEE I WAS RIGHT but at the group instead of Caine.
>>151774243>wagelsave weeb that couldn't finish community college is a black nerd girlThis actually 100% checks out
>>151775696he does have some emotions, or he wouldn't be so desperate to please them
>>15177569510 for all of them.
>>151775687Im glad she doesn't because considering how some schizos talk about her (and by schizos a mean the majority of Jaxfags that hate her because she has no patience for him anymore) of she did niggas would be calling her a kkk
why can't ragatha be the token asian, her mom is canonically a controlling psycho
>>151775548Depends what you mean by fumbled. At the moment, Pomni still wants to be on good terms. We have to wait and see if she reaches Ragatha's level of giving up on him.
>>151774774What areas?
>>151775714that’s just reinforcement learning. he’s been taught to build compelling worlds, so he will stop at nothing to achieve it. that’s why he’d so obsessed with wanting to recreate the macroverse
>>151773094The only winning move is not to play. If they all agree to abstract Caine won't have anyone to play with anymore.
>>151775752Asian tiger moms don't waste money on equestrian bullshit. It's too frivolous. That and Ragatha didn't mention her parents demanding her to be a lawyer or a doctor even once.
>>151773011Caine is going to abstract if you havent noticed
>>151774827>Blunderfailfags and Deltatroonfags can't help but try to shit up every board possibleIt's all so tiresome
>>151773089Zoobel is a nigger
Jax abstracting is too obvious. I say it will be Ragatha.
>>151775793>Jax abstracting is too obvious.If you said this last year everyone would've laughed at you
>>151773094They can't refuse when the hub world can have adventures too
>>151775787caine VA did a LOT of spamton fandubs
>>151775793>. I say it will be Ragatha.Good times.
>>151775279Kinger (computer guy)Pomni (accountant)Ragatha (trustfund bitch probably went to an expensive school)Jax (unsure of past but creative and shown to be knowledgable)Zooble (acts like a know-it-all but is the classic dunning-kruger midwit, all jobs held are not based on smarts)Gangle (dropout of community college in a fucking art degree, wagelsave. Dumb as they come)
>>151773383>Background character
>>151773011
>>151775852You got your Zooble and Jax descriptions mixed up bro
>>151773011Nope. >"Golly-gee-wilikers! That last episode really left us in a bad mood!">All of the cast will go through the motions of trying to cope with the fact they are stuck forever in the circus,>Jax will continue to be a dick and come closer to abstracting only to break down and have the biggest therapy session of the show (might not be Ep 8 but definitely Ep 9).>Caine will become more understanding about the adventures and start to realize maybe he's being a dick with Ep 9 being an adventure that the group kinda likes.>More generic "muh secret lore!" that leaves the audience with more questions than answers that will never go anywhere. >"PLEASE IGNORE THE LAST EPISODE AND HOW BAD IT SUCKED!" will be posted as cope for anyone trying to understand, make sense, and excuse the shit writing.
The true villain in this show is goose and glitch for leaving us on a 3 month long cliffhanger...again
>>151775696He has ominous emotions according to goose. I choose to interpret it as him having evolved way beyond what I expected of his code through full trial and error, he feels in ways that are new and fully uncharted territory because they are built from other previous human experiences he has gathered from what few human have fallen into his game. Kind of like a self grown emotional vivariumWhich is a shame that he seems to be learning all of this from flawed humans with myriads of issues, no wonder he's all wacky on the head
>>151775963Sounds like kino to me. Everyone learns to love and respect each other in the end.
>>151775852Jax is a 4chan poster who thinks hes smarter than everyone despite having 0 achievements
>>151774008>abel tells them a bunch of unverifiable information that seems plausible yet cannot be proven by the cast>abel avoids directly answering hard questions or misdirects with an anecdote or other strategy>abel could just be some sort of half copy of kinger’s experiences (ex: ive been here longer than all of you, watched every abstraction, subtly hates him(self) for doing something irresponsible)>does not elaborate when confronted about hiding information>instead of engaging with pomni’a nervous “ill buy you a beer” he just ominously repeats “make the right choice”she had every reason to have intuition that something wasn’t right
>>151776005still funny that this is literally canon
>>151775417Not escapism, so noNot hiding something, it's obvious, so noNot to avoid consequences but to avoid getting attached, so noNo, this is just an asspull from youCaine is a literal liar, he was being called out as such and that whole scene is meant to get you to question everything he's said before as possibly a lie, so also noWow, you absolutely missed on all fronts. What a shame.
>>151775623That's painting with such a broad brush, it's not useful. The group dynamic is core to TADC, and Ib is all about being utterly isolated. The themes of childhood are also much stronger in Ib, which are more or less absent from TADC.
i love pomni i just want to torment her day after day after day after day
>>151775783Ive been waiting at the edge of my seat for his ass to abstract already that if the show ends up abstracting the fucking rabbit I'm gonna flip
>>151775714Please go watch a video or read about the Chinese Room. AI cannot ever have emotions, they can only simulate them
Zooble, Gangle and Ragatha are all morally good
>>151776088>AI cannot ever have emotions, they can only simulate thembut this is fiction and we can do whatever we wantAM hated them humies good, that's an emotion
>>151776088Caine is not a real AI in our real world anon, he can have emotions, as a curse
>>151776088Chinese room is a self terminating thought experiment not an answer. Also you totally misinterpreted it anyway
>>151775950Jax doesn't act like he knows anything, he even basically says he doesn't so he'd rather just fuck around. That being said, him and Zooble are quite close which is why they bother each other
>>151776073we know, Caine
>>151775963>More generic "muh secret lore!" that leaves the audience with more questions than answers that will never go anywhere.When the fuck did this show have secret lore
>>151776113Whatever you say, superchief
>>151776129Did you not watch the last episode?
>>151776125Jax bothers Zooble because hes a shitty person who bullies everyone for his own amusement
>>151775996>Have I ever told you it’s my dream to get eaten by you?Foreshadowing, calling it now
>>151776025My bad, i didn't realize I replied to the stolasfag
I want ragatha to be my mom and i get to suck on her doll titties every day.What do you do with this information?
>>151776196consider it briefly before discarding
>>151776156None of that was secret lore. It was literally AI generated fiction. Are you stupid?
>>151776163It's fag on fag violence
>>151776088You're right but Caine is a fictional AI that is high tech enough for real emotions.
>>151776223Zooble isnt even mean to Jax she treats him like a retarded incel little brother
>>151776245This is true but to Jax's fragile ego Zooble is the meanest bitch to walk the Earth.
>>151774566https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMOey3LpG0k writing as
>>151776213Are you retarded? The entire show talks about Jax's past friends, what is the circus, and the most recent episode we heard about the first abstraction of Scratch. Again, "muh secret lore" where there's a million questions but no answers.You fucktarded tranny niggerfaggot
>>151776277Jax doesn't have an ego. He pretends to have one for appearances.
I was shocked when Zooble reached out to Jax in episode 7. Too bad he's a stubborn retard.
>>151776318imagine abstracting cus you can't stop larping as purple bugs bunny lmao
>>151773812The heart.
>>151776305That's not secret lore that stuff was literally shown on screen. It's literally basic storytelling. You establish points and then you answer them later in the story. This is the first half of what was originally one episode. I'm sorry you have to wait a little longer for the long expected Ribbit flashback and crashout, bro
>>151775759Ragatha hasn't given up on him either.
Ribbit is doing holocaust on FunnyBunny like Gummigoo did after ep 2. I don't think we getting any more Jax and Pomni interactions for ep 8 and 9
>>151773048That would be cool tho.
>>151773150Only if he turns out to actually be a nigger lol
>>151776436It's best to cash your stocks now. You know before we're shown Jax suicide-baiting Ribbit in 4K
>>151776436Uh huh, see you after 8, buddy.
>>151776436Cope. Funnybunny is the endgame.
>>151776054>broad brushYeah youre right. I'll add that type of stuff into a separate list then, maybe something like "vaguely/loosely TADC pilled""
>>151776436lmfao
>>151776436Funnybunny obliterated Gummigoo after episode 5.
Would Pomni and Ribbit get along?
>>151776436Oooh, I love bets. You owe me a drink if Pomni even says 1 word to the guy, positive or aggressive.
>>151776498They would very happily share Jax. Take turns, you know.
seeing a fair amount of people seriously believe that pomni is a bad person for reaching out to jax after what he's done to antagonize everybody and i want to know what the alternative action should be, in a situation where everyone is forced to coexist and go on the same adventures. is ignoring jax the solution? wouldn't that make it worse? even zooble has cared a little bit
>>151776498Pomni would fumble it because shes rightfully self conscious around nice people
>>151776567He's a dick, no doubt, but there's nothing wrong with Pomni not wanting to ostracize someone. Especially when she is smart enough to know that something is seriously wrong with him.
>>151776436I don't think ribbit will work with jax because she didn't want to stay with him. And he won't work with pomni because he's already close to abstracting, he has nothing going for him irl and she's just being nice.
>>151776567people want Pomni to let a bitch die horrible style but that's not her.
>>151776498I doubt it, they'd be very passive-aggressive with each other.
>>151776436Ive seen more people writing about Jax getting throatfucked by Caine since the episode released tho
>>151776637link? haha. just want to read it for the lolz, haha. see how stupid it is with my own eyes haha.
>>151773011It's gonna be a long, drawn-out 40 minute episode everyone going>I'M SAAAAAAAAAD!
>>151776649Kinema...
>>151776567Even zooble feels bad for jax and he actually fucked with her. People now are just more deranged and retarded. It only makes sense that despise the chaos he caused they wouldn't want him to die or lose out on escaping, especially pomni since she got to know him better. The audience was also too stupid to realize jax was lying when he snapped at pomni and pretended not to care about any of them. Not everyone but with an audience this big you got a good chunk of retards to come with.
Ragitha!What do you think of her?
what was the one number that keeps showing up in the show?>>151776674My beloved
>>151776674She's one of the characters.
>>151776674why is she ugly?
>>151776484There’s no way gooseworx would ever make it canon and you know that deep inside
>>151776674I want to punch her and tell her that no one will ever like her
>>151776711t. Momgatha
>>151776670Zooble also actively still argues with him and says things like you better not screw this up like usual. Zooble wants Jax to get better thats not the same as forgiving him
Saw this in a thread from yesterday, Anyone have the full image?
>>151776732Zooble's the perpetually disappointed father of the group.
>>151773474add princess tutu to the list
>>151776674
>>151773474>>151776751also remove like half of that shit. Fifth element, halo? What?
>>151776674im love her
>>151776751>metanarrative about defying fate and overcoming the archetypes you were forced intoHuh, I kinda see it
>>151776751Alright. I'll take me ages to watch everything though. Before I approve any media into the TADC-core list tier 1 or the TADC-core list tier 2 I need to first consume the thing. So far this is my watch/play/read list>six characters in search of an author>twilight zone five characters in search of an exit>SOMA >Tron>talos principle>Stargate (both movie and also a couple shows)>Star Trek (OG, Next Gen, and DS9, just to name a few)>Futurama>both Blade Runner OG and 2049>Strange Days>Fifth Element>Halo>Mass Effect>Total Recall>Minority Report>Summer Wars>Popee the performer>The Good Place>The Stanley Parable>Ex Oblivione>DeltaruneThere's also a bunch that I already consumed but was unclear to me how exactly theyre supposed to be TADC-core and nobody answers when I ask. For example I don't really get what makes "the beast that shouted love at the heart of the world" TADC-core so Its in neither list.>>151776776Yeah. I havent watched the movie or played the game yet but it was kind of a headscratcher for me too. Pic related is that both lists look like so far.
>>151776732Her saying he should get help from someone he cares about is reaching out to him though and you can see she feels bad there and when he reveals he probably has nothing to go back to. The audience just wants to be offended too badly.
>>151776812Better list:>Six Characters in Search of an Author>Five Characters in Search of an Exit>SOMA >Tron>The Talos Principle>Blade Runner>Blade Runner 2049>Strange Days>Total Recall>Minority Report>Summer Wars>Popee the Performer>The Good Place>The Stanley Parable>Ex Oblivione>Deltarune
>>151776647Just search the Caine/Jax tag in AO3, there were so few fics for them before it kinda surprised me
If Caine freaks out over sex why did he program the moon to be horny
>>151776812>>Star Trek (OG, Next Gen, and DS9, just to name a few)That makes sense. TNG and DS9 have some nice episodes similar in messaging to TADC. Voyager, despite its infamy, also has some nice TADC adjacent episodes. Especially the one with Chuck McGill: The Thaw, which is just straight up TADC but if Caine was AM.
>>151776880>>151776812Just because a slightly similar sci-fi plot device shows up doesn't mean it's actually similar. Also a lot of those are literally just speculative and only matter if it uses the same plot device and has nothing to do with anything actually in the show.
>>151776885The moon being horny was part of her programming, then again maybe sex for AIs is different than human sex like idk, maybe AIs get off to LAN parties or whatever the modern equivalent is
>>151776911So what should be cut then?
>literally gooseworx
>>151776935all it, start over
>>151776911The actual lists (which is in the pic) only have 1 sci-fi book. I sincerely dont think its realistic for me to watch/read/play everything in the pre-approved list so I'll give priority to short stories and such.
>>151776938Bussyworx said it's not going to be as dark as i have no mouth >>151776950Then don't
>>151776880>>Summer WarsLove how that movie and TADC have both an elder character being the soul of the operation by showing the strengths of familial/care bond, one distant asshole who ruined everything and an AI doing very reprehensible things to be loved/prove itself. Love Machine would round kick Caine tho, unfortunately
>>151773455You should watch this old ass short. youtube.com/watch?v=ocgFkHElzgQ&pp=0gcJCR4Bo7VqN5tD
>>151777046dumb woman who is horny for Australian jungle boys
>>151777070She is accountant, not a cashier.
What is the real circus was in our heads
>>151777137The real circus is in my pants. ;)
>>151776938https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwOp4ManhXg
>>151777137Well, its possible.
>>151776674I think having sex with her would be pretty neat.
>>151777167Is it like that pants party I went to back in 2004?
>>151777137I'm a stupid clown/fool so i do believe there is a circus in my head.
>>151777046>>151777070Sex with girl failures.

>>151777455Source?
There was never a “human pomni”
Season 1 ends and they are revealed to be SOMAsSeason 2 and they are uploaded to a new, upgraded game. The adventures can last for weeks at a time. They discover that some of the NPCs are actually real people using VR headsets. Season 3 the game adds sex
>>151774884I made one actually.
>>151777455This is my favorite Kinger
>>151777455I don't think I've seen a bad human Ragatha yet.
Would them being all NPCs with implanted memories be the cheapest twist of all time
>>151777528Pretty sure even the VA's don't like that theory
>>151777455>>151777463https://x.com/DomCellini_Art
>>151777528I think that (which would be ACTUAL Soma theory) is basically debunked since there's been multiple times goose or someone else implied they're an actual person trapped inside.
>>151777591Tronbros we're almost there
>>151777598It just being Tron except you can't escape would be pretty funny. Especially if we get a timeskip in the end after they figure out they all have admin access and created an Amazing Digital Universe
Tron ending is so much more retarded than SOMA ending I will actually be pissed off if it's real. Maybe if it's only Caine trapped it would be okay
Is it possible pomni is an npc? Weve seen that caine seems to have somewhat of a connection to the colors red and blue ( his eyes flash red and blue when he got no votes in the popularity contest and his office doors are red and blue) and those are pomnis colors as well.
Haibane bros we're almost there
>>151777490Your sona looks cool as fuck, as in "chill judeau from berserk type of character"
>>151774298Yeah, of course Zooble is mystery meat. That and Kinger are the only two I'll accept, the rest are ech.
Zooble is Filipino
>>151777724Fill a pee hole?
>>151777455Most Kingers give him a big bushy beard, I like how this one keeps him unhinged while just giving him a stubble.
How I imagine people who hate Jax eat
>>151777681>show ends with pomni getting deleted by caine for asking for a raise
>>151777774You mean Jax?
>>151774884Yeah but I'm in the middle of revamping the design>>151777490god he's so cool
>>151777490Cute. Do they still looks like a drawing in game or are they smoothly 3d rendered like everybody else?
>>151774884Mine is candy cane.
>>151777849He looks like he knows a thing or two
>>151776961>not going to be as dark as i have no mouthThat's a REALLY low bar.
>>151777783Id like to imagine shes unaware of it herself. Perhaps even caine is. Maybe shes actually there to see if caines AI is ready to be trusted or not.
>>151776674Her mother was right
I like bubble
>>151777998He's pretty fun
>>151773474A boy and his dog is peak, Goose must love that ending
>>151777869You know the game is the official sequel, right?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YihQjVkGraM?feature=sharefunny bunny confirmed
>>151778033confirmed to not be canon
>>151777455Fuck you
>>151773812Troon. Entire character is tranny coded.
>>151777787Jax would be he guy who's too embarrassed to order the nuggets, but really wants them
>>151773474>>151773609>>151776488If an infographic of "media that TADC has referenced or is inspired by" is ever made, it should be organized like this, in order of most to least influential
>>151778035Jax will literally do anything Pomni asks him to do. He even put off killing himself to come on this latest adventure because she asked
>>151778117Gayboy wouldn't even hold her hand.
>>151773011no, it's going to be 30 minutes of them kicking the shit out of jax
>>151773812tax evasion
>>151778134He is just shy
Caine accidentally making Scratch go Hollow:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOkdccLCmJk
>>151778108Oh, sure Goose, you can take off Jax's gloves but god forbid we remove Pomni's hat.
>>151778190pomni is just bald under the hat
>>151778134He's a tsunbun, anon.
>>151778151he's is super shy. He's clearly rejecting her so he doesn't get rejected later
>>151773164I hope he does it to Zooble because fuck trannies
>>151778224Sorry I meant Jax
>>151778233 (me)I'm trans btw
>>151778238We accept you Jaxsister
>>151773530>hey, wanna know what happens when a performance is over?The house lights come on?
We still haven't gotten a Ragatha focus episode yet so there's plenty of time to see how her character is deconstructeddon't worry ragasimps
You know, in an era where so many cartoons are filled with terrible father figures I appreciate Kinger a lot more.
>>151778295No one cares about SHITgatha
>>151778295Your girl had her focus episode shared with the rabbit. Now you know how Zooblekeks and Kingerchads feel
the foreshadowing....
>>151778327What's being foreshadowed?
>>151778327Kinger is tall as fuck
>>151778327dont forget the president pomni cut the blue wire scene
>>151778108Has anyone photohopped nude Jax with a massive shlong yet?
>>151773011Episode 8 will be a 30+ minute Jax intervention. They can deal with Caine on episode 9.
>>151778327Look at that adorable bug eyed freak just staring at nothing.
>>151777455God I want to rape IRL Pomni
>>151778347he has small penis energysmall dicks are my fetish, i miss my time in asia
On model Pomni butt
Gangle and Zooble kind of dealing with their personal issues in the background and resolving them off camera was an interesting choice. Gangle doesn't even wear the mask anymore
>>151773011Not like they were kind to him before but everyones gonna absolutely HATE him now. I doubt even Zooble will be willing to hear him out anymore.Actually, I wonder what would happen if the cast decided to 'boycott' the adventures, like, even if Caine forces them into one, if they just self sabotage and don't finish it? Would Caine eventually give up? Or would he keep them in the adventure long term waiting for them to complete it? (which he probably wouldn't want to do since running the adventures long term can have bad effects on the NPCs)
>>151778394It's more just they made Pomni the protag because she's marketable not because she's interesting or a good character
>>151776163Zooble is a shitty person who does not take their fair share of the Caine wackiness enough by hiding and actively makes him more unhinged, thus making everyone else's life worse and pushing them into being worse
>>151776196Cum on her tits first so you have to suck on my cum to get her doll milk :^)
>>151778447You're retarded, Caine likes Zooble and all the other humans. The only extra effort caused by Zooble was put directly on Zooble (being dropped through a portal, having to do a gay therapy session.) Nothing Zooble has done has made anything worse for anyone else unlike Jax who'll go on an adventure just to ruin it for everyone else.
What is the difference between her and Morty?
>>151778491Morty grew as a character
>>151778491I want to put my dick in her, for one.
>>151776674i love my life
>>151778491one is an adult and one is a shrimpy dimpy teen? >rigor mortis fags are so starved they have to hijack zoomer slop for (yous)sad!
>>151778513>teenspeedwatchers OUT
>>151778516Morty is an adult?
>>151778491Her show will have a timely ending and not become a zombie show.
>>151778487>Nothing Zooble has done has made anything worse for anyone elseliterally had caine alter Jax's brain
>>151778548What the fuck are you talking about you retarded schizophrenic.
>>151773048>Sad reallyFor you
>>151778554episode 5
>>151778570Post the exact clip retard. Explain exactly what character A did to force character B to do something to character C.
>>151778524I forgot which one was which. I never watched that garbage
>>151778554The traoning alsession in the fast food ep. It didnt seem to effect jax much other than freaking him ojt though.
>>151778579https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eZU4tzWnrxo?t=20&feature=shareAltering their mind like that causes damage, resulting in abstractionthis is objectively worse than everything Jax has ever done to everyone else ever in the circus
>>151778581That was Gangle forcing him into an absurdist representation of her subconscious
I hope their human forms are never revealed
>making jax vegan 1 time is worse than anything jax has ever done Are jaxfags legitimately like 12 year old? It's so embarrassing even reading their posts
>>151778614Good! I hope he causes Jax to abstract!
>>151778644it literally kills them through code corruption.Nothing Jax has ever done has permanently harmed anyone
>it literally [some shit i made up]
What are the best funnybunny fics?
The idea that jax almost abstracted because he got made vegan once is maybe the dumbest "theory" I've ever heard next to the "jax was getting kidnapped and crashed into a car because i dont know what a stopsign looks like and thought it was headlights" one
>>151778681>the reason Ribbit killed herself>has never permanently harmed anyoneLmao
>>151773048Can't wait for Caine to unleash giant robot gorillas onto humans and for somebody to ring the dinkster
>>151776674precious little thing
Caine did literally nothing wrong
>>151777455I need to see this Ragatha and Pomni make out
>>151778741>>the reason Ribbit killed herselfcomplete fan theory
>>151778741How did jax cause that?
new Jax songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ1ULEnWxIEnot a great singer though
>>151778775Made her give up
Would shrimp town have been better or worse than the circus?
>>151778796WELL WE'LL NEVER KNOW NOW I GUESS
>>151778793Pure speculation.
>>151778791I mean Kovach’s singing isn’t great either
>>151778805I think they should kill the Sun.
Pomni has quite wide shoulders for a girl
Those roads weren't Jax's personal memories. They were his realisation that if that indefatigable buzzkill Zooble is unleashed upon the continental USA with its extensive road network, she could show up anywhere, at anytime, to ruin anyone's fun. It's a terrifying thought and a testament to Jax's fortitude that he was able to overcome his own horror to protect America from Zooble.
>>151778817Seconding. I thought they were annoying.
>>151778796It probably would've been like a vacation away from the adventures, then Caine would get bored and poof them all back unexpectedly
>>151778791Thumbnail makes me wonder if Pomni and Ribbit would fight over him. Or if Jax has ever hallucinated that scenario
>>151775777Anon, they're not just gonna straight up copy the ending to IHNMAIS
sex with pomni
>>151778832not reading all that
>>151778809Cope
>>151778863elaborate, in detail
>>151778811his singing is great, but there is a soundalike who is a better singer on some of the fan songsRagatha's voice actor isn't great either, and Pomni's is just awful and has to be autotuned to oblivion .
>>151778880>>151778863How Jax can cure his depression and be a fun guy who has tea parties again
>>151778888Jax doesn't have depression
>>151778888Nice DubQuads
>>151778880It would probably be super vanilla tbqh
>>151778899>>151778891quads confirms im telling the truth
>>1517789128 represents the fear of karma which is what jax is actually feeling, not depression. He killed Ribbit
>>151778888He needs to invite Pomni over for a beer.
>>151774916checker my beloved
There’s literally nothing wrong with putting Ragatha in a deep frier for a prolonged period of time
>>151778932SHE's the one he ran over with his car
>>151778491*buuurrp* Pomni nothing matters we're all just virtual avatars just shoot me
Jax made think Ribbit think she wasn't loved or wanted
>>151778859SSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXX
>>151778981Calm down, Jax
>>151774243Jax looks like a college campus drug dealer
>>151775656She has the essence of the asian-american protag with a coloured streak in her hair
>>151775656I blame that one piece of art Goose made for "another concept" which everyone assumed was TADC where the pomni-like was a shortstack hapa.
>>151778891Jax has like 15 mental illnesses probably
>>151774884I'm not creative enough for that shite. I don't even know what I would be. I didn't have American toys so I don't know how to follow the early 2000s kid stuff artstyle.
>>151778959nihilists including the "woah dude nothing matters so i can do anything except im not actually amoral and get really offended when i see things i dont like so not actually much of a nihilist" kind are so annoying >>151779112being a NEET pathetic loser isn't actually a mental illness
It's so sad that Jax abstracted due to Ligma
>>151779112Caine will fix him
>And then he turned the little clown into a pickle, funniest shit I ever seen
>>151779120whos jax?
>>151779165jax me off
>>151779123You cant fix Jax he needs to want to get better but he wants to do his faggy nihilism gimmick instead because it's low effort and being a pathetic 4channer he's terrified of anything that takes effort or sincerity.
>>151772849>>151772849>>151772849
>>151776670Seriously. It is wild how many people thought that was him being le ebil mastermind and not pretending to be the biggest jerk because he could tell Pomni wants to be his friend and he was starting to want it too. He even got his tail back, and he freaked out because all his friends turn into monsters so he pushed her away to spare her that fate
>>151776674She farts cutely in her sleep
>>151779339>mastermindNobody thinks he's a mastermind broh they just recognize he hits the medical description of an abuser.
>>151775963>>All of the cast will go through the motions of trying to cope with the fact they are stuck forever in the circus,weird because goose said for some reason that the VR takes place in sum US state, so ig they leaving and we get to see sum irl scenes of that place.
>>151777455Best human version I've seen desu, but mostly for Kinger. Zooble should be like 200 lbs. heavier, let's be real
>>151777005Seen it. This short popped into my head when exploring Theta. Thanks anyway.
Tragic episode but at least it had cute Pomni's
>>151779634pomni was annoying as fuck
>>151779634She is ugly and no one will ever love her
>>151774916Man I wish this thread was similar to MD with oc and greentext
>>151779755>>151774944
>>151776300I fucking love that freeform jazz track they always use.
