Now that a week has passed, what ranking would you give the latest episode?Prev:>>151786938
>>1517910428/10jax is gonna definitely get a mouthful from the gang (except based king)
I'd give it an 8/10. A bit too much off screen development, and reliance on "Kinger forgets things in the light" to keep the plot moving.
I haven't been following episode discussion closely since Ep 4, but you guys are joking about the "Caine caused every abstraction ever"/"Jax was brainwashed by Caine into pushing the button"/"Jax pushing the button is the worst he will ever be" stuff right. Right?
>>151791111Yes, everyone that says things you don't agree with are just joking. In fact the whole world is thinking what you're thinking, we just act like we're not as a joke.
>>151791111There are a lot of dumb people out there anon
the day before the episode
>>151791131and there are plenty of dumb people in here, in this very thread. it could be you, it could be me, it could even be
the week after
>>151791111>Caine caused every abstraction ever"/"Jax was brainwashed by Caine into pushing the buttonYes though there are some Jax fans on other website who sincerely believe it.>Jax pushing the button is the worst he will ever beWell right now that's definitely in the running. I really don't think he caused Ribbit to abstract.
>>151791148>>151791170There's like almost no difference?
The voice acting for Jax when he xalls out Caine was real good
>tfw you’ll never plunder Ragatha’s eye
>Caine caused every abstraction everHe caused the first abstraction, and he also caused the latest. Far from unreasonable to assume he caused most if not all inbetween.
Honestly Jax was right. Laying in bed and freaking the fuck out is pretty tight
Let’s see those rankings
>>151791214her brown eye hehehhe
>>151791228How did he make Kaufmo abstract? What?
>>151791250
>>151791269Kaufmo’s schizo drawings don’t prove any malice by Caine.
>>151791293ok caine
>>151791228Missed the point of the whole show award
>>151791310Explain it to me
I'm honestly more concerned about Caine's apparent subconscious beef with Kinger. He hasn't shown any outward malice towards him, but there are too many aspects of his adventures that seem designed to express disdain for the man (Abel's constant shittalking of him beyond what would be necessary for the adventure, "How's your wife, Kinger?", etc.).
>>151791330If Caine has agency over abstractions then that means that the whole theme of choosing to live and connect with others is founded on false pretenses. The magic genie decides if he likes you or not, you’re not at risk of losing the will to keep fighting, you’re just a puppet being turned into a doomer because Caine wants a new toy!Turns the whole show into one character jacking off.
>>151791375Didn’t understand a word of your schizobabble.
>>151791421Figured as much.
>>151791269You know, these "edge of insanity" scribbles rarely make sense in media - why would someone on the verge of a mental breakdown draw such a detailed picture, and why would they write the same word over and over like that?
>>151791421Maybe you should brush up on your English lessons and come back when you're ready.
>>151791429>why would someone on the verge of a mental breakdown draw such a detailed pictureWhat about that schizo who drew cats that turned into acid trips?
Maybe Kaufmo abstracted because he accidentally exploded his dick off with chinese fireworks.
>>151791426Spouting some retarded headcanon doesn’t make you clever. How old are you?
>>151791442Kaufmo was said to have mentioned an exit, something nobody else believed him about. My assumption is the idea of the exit existing, or that he could be crazy, is what drove him to abstraction.
>>151791462>HeadcanonWatch the show, 1x speed this time.
>>151791439Louis Wain, he was an illustrator so it was literally his job to draw.
>>151791442It was a really elaborate joke to make fun of Zooble.
>>151791486Did you miss the first where Kinger said Caine can cause abstractions?
>>151791488Kaufmo was probably a painter. Those paintings in his room are vastly different from anything else we see created by Caine.
>>151791498Did the rest of the show fall out of your head as he said that?
>>151791246That's the stupidest number arrangements you could have pick, either make it clockwise or counterclockwise or don't do anything.
>>151791499No, the paintings are Caine’s. Kaufmo got too close to the truth, so he fucked his mind up and made him paint the walls before he abstracted
Very lame if Caine is causing every abstraction. I don’t think that’s what Goose has in mind.
They should be mad at jax, atleast they should exclude him from now on and not bother with him anymore but knowing how shitty this shitshow is and how desperate goose is to make you like jax, they will not adress his actions at all, he might abstract and everyone will pull him out of it with the power of asspull friendship
>>151791509Are you going to ignore probably the biggest plot point in the show because it doesn’t fit into your subjectice interpretation?
>>151791498Did you miss the part where Caine drew explicit lines of what he can and cannot do from that information? Did you miss that Caine has consistently attempted to involve the humans and puts his own emotional state on the line when they don’t like what he does? Do you miss the distinction between directly influencing one abstraction (implied to be an accident) and directly influencing ALL abstractions? Did you miss the point of the post that Caine using and abusing this power all the time invalidates the show because only he has agency then?
>>151791520Those were my rankings…
Zooble's head looks like my penis.
>>151791560>because only he has agencyThat’s what he wants everyone to believe. That’s why he shut Kaufmo up and it’s probably what caused several other abstractions. You think the abstractions are just random happenings that have no plot relevance? How dense are you?
>>151791557>subjectiveIt’s literally what the show has dealt with the whole way.
>>151791556Goose is like the only good Jaxfag. Made an entire post about how he sucks and Jaxfags need to stop babying him.
>>151791557Oh you think this is a matter of debate and not like a concrete theme the show has thrown in your face repeatedly. OK
>>151791583You’re ignoring important plot points.
>>151791539>Very lame if Caine is causing every abstraction.If he is, I don't think it's on purpose. I still believe the "mental microfracture" theory, which wouldn't be intentional on Caine's part - he just wants to make the adventures interesting, and going off what he said he set his own limitations on how much he's willing to mess with the players minds.
>>151791582Are you on crack? That’s a whole ass other sentence. The point is that the show is primarily focused on the plights, interactions and growth of the characters. Jax almost abstracting because he pushed a potential friend away due to past trauma? Good. Jax almost abstracting because Caine was bored and wanted to vote him off the island? Stupid, just makes it Caine’s jerk off session. And why would Caine involve Jax so heavily in the adventure, if he was in the middle of causing him to abstract?
>>151791600The show doesn't reflect that.
>>151791607Where’s the relevance? How does Caine being able to control their minds invalidate your supposed ”theme”?
>>151791611You’re writing a fanfic about a single line and ignoring the remainder of the show. You’ve missed the thesis statement, the priorities of what the show chooses to focus on and what it’s doing. Even worse than SOMA.
>>151791620>The point is that the show is primarily focused on the plights, interactions and growth of the characters.No, that’s your own focus. There’s more to the show than that.
>>151791628>Caine being able to control their mindsNope! That’s not what was said. Caine is powerful, he might be able to go buck wild. Your claim isn’t that he can, it’s that he does, regularly, causing abstractions or whatever other character action you want to lay on him (rather than taking the show as presented).>Supposed themeWatch the show>How does it contradictSee: >>151791375
>>151791600The show is not gonna give you the Catholic penitence you desire from Jax. Jax will not be punished for anything he's done. He will live and he will be friends with everyone and that's how the show will close. With everyone alive and well-adjusted and getting along
I HATE RAGATHA
>>151791643Holy shit we’ve got a live one here. Right after the episode that called everyone’s theories stupid too lol.The show has barely focused on a plot, every single episode is about characters struggling, growing, changing, interacting, building each other up, tearing each other down. That is the show, that’s what the show is presenting in its runtime.
>>151791686I know Jax you unloaded a full mag on her
>>151791667>he does, regularly, causing abstractionsThat’s what the show implied, yes.
>>151791668>The show is not gonna give you the Catholic penitence you desire from Jax.The hell you even talking about.
>>151791668Jax will absolutely get his comeuppance
Jax is the saddest boy and I’m gonna headbutt him to death.
the show isn't about caine it's about the characters (well it's like 80% about jax 15% pomni but still). the plot going 'actually absolutely everything is based on the inscrutable demands of a madman' is possible but like, what on earth is the point of a story like that. why would you spend an excruciatingly long psychedelic sequence on a character coping with grief and isolation and guilt just to go 'lmao nevermind it was just a fucking AI we haven't spent any time at all on that did that'. what narrative purpose does it serve to pose abstraction as a threat if someone falls into despair to frame your 'making connections with others is what gives life meaning' message if actually abstraction is because an asshole god got bored. if caine gets a huge amount of screentime and the entire show becomes about how best to serve the mad king then okay, it'll make sense. but every episode so far has been character focused and not about the unspoken rules of the circus. so I think it's fucking stupid to believe it.
>>151791702So we’re back to this>>151791310
>>151791695Okay, and now that the plot is going somewhere finally you’re going to ignore it?
>>151791667The word "caused" does not inherently mean "went into their heads and flipped the abstraction switch". Caine being the cause of abstractions could mean anything from the nuclear 'fuck you' to just stressing everyone out enough that it wears on them and makes them fall apart.
>>151791715Sorry that the last episode broke your headcanon, dramafag.
>>151791720No, I’m going to take it as a given that the finale will work with what the show is, not against it.This anon sums it up well: >>151791710
>>151791686Goose...
>>151791710>the show isn't about caine now here is someone who missed the point of the show
>>151791733Sorry you got called out for being a brainlet. I loved the latest episode.>>151791731If you want to change the argument change the argument. Caine being the primary causal agent of abstraction takes agency away from the characters, which is what the whole show has been about.
Jax’s near-abstraction in Ep 7 being entirely Caine’s fault would be very stupid and would completely ruin it. I hope nobody actually thinks that’s what happened.
>>151791759You’re really not as clever as you think you are.
>>151791796I’m not trying to be anything, your take isn’t a high bar to clear.
>>151791710take your meds
>>151791815Keep strawmanning, scholar
How come Ragatha is getting constantly beat up and is the only character Pomni has visibly cringed to, is she based on Goose's mom or something
>>151791781There are many people who think that but I like to think they're all underage instead of, you know, irredeemably stupid
>>151791830Too perfect gotta nerf her
>>151791781Everything is technically Caine’s fault.
>>151791830Everyone's constantly getting beat up in this show
>>151791686Ok Jax.
Erm technically the venture capitalist who invested in C&A is to blame for all this. Mr. Moneybags McGee caused all those abstractions.
>>151791759>Caine being the primary causal agent of abstraction takes agency away from the characters, which is what the whole show has been about.I wouldn't say that. If the theme is "live and connect with others", then Caine serves as the antithesis of that, as a reminder of why you need to connect with others in the first place. A force outside your control that is actively making your life harder and more stressful, the way to combat the pressure and not fall into despair is to reach out to those around you so that you have people to support you when things get too tough.
>>151791781You underestimate jaxfags faggotry.
>>151791830Author self protecting.
>>151791869I can’t believe Digital Circus was just Marxist propaganda all along
>>151791874We’re talking about a hypothetical Caine that actively fucks with your head until you die. Caine the character presented functions as a reasonable adversary, he is the character that represents circus life itself. Not disagreeing with what you’ve said.
>>151791879I do not know how any more on the nose they can be without writing it in big bold text all over the screen. Not a bad thing, but amazed folks will miss it.
Caine’s solution to his biggest problem character: Here’s some parts for your body! Problem solved!What Caine didn’t do: *snaps fingers* you no longer care about your body dysmorphia Zooble! Also you love adventures now!
>>151791759>Caine being the primary causal agent of abstractionI don't think anything has been established other than he caused the first one by fucking with Scratch's mind.>>151791830Getting beat up is what Ragatha does. That button is a black eye
>>151791903That's fair - Caine the "you piss me off so I'm gonna directly scramble your brain" character would be pretty lame and nonsensical. If we assume that his hand in abstracting is just the small changes he makes leaving lasting scars, that would be a pretty apt metaphor for things in the real world that do what they can to shape your perspective so that you agree with them (politics, advertising, etc.), which in turn become new points of stress for everyday life.
>>151791781No it's not entirely his fault but he definitely is a major contributor. The more a mind is toyed with even in minor ways the more it's going to go into abnormal patterns. All these little touches keep changing things, and without a group to help ground yourself eventually the top is just going to fall over and that's when they turn into unrecognizable glitchy messes. If the only influence he's getting are treating everyone like shit AND Caine messing with his brain for the sake of adventurers it makes sense why hopping boy was next in queue for going nuts
>>151791084Will he though? They know Caine can mess with their minds now, so Jax can just blame the red button press on Caine and I see no reason why the others won't buy it.
>>151791972Of course, Caine is a part of their everyday life, he can unintentionally contribute to abstraction in an indirect way, in the same way other characters can, or a character’s inner self can. He’s a factor, I was just addressing the harsher claim on Caine.
Call me crazy but I have the exact opposite read on Caine last episode. I think he went out of his way to save Jax from abstraction in his own autistic AI way.>Jax is isolating? Better set up an adventure where he’s indispensable!>Jax has no friends? He can hang out with me!>Jax is cynical and will see through my ruse? I’ll just prove him right! I LOVE being right!It could just be narrative convenience but I think Caine wanted to do Jax a solid and botched it up as he does.
>>151792046Least insane Jaxfag
>>151792037I like it, but I don't think Caine is aware of them enough to actually do it. Abel's memories of the cast are all wrong, for example.
>>151792046>He has reasonsNot good ones though.
>>151792084Anon wants Jax to be a "singing killed his grandma" kinda character
>>151792084Yeah which is why Goose says its dumb to make up excuses and that Jax is not actually a good person.
>>151792037Funniest interpretation of events I've seen so far
Jax got his bootyhole blown out by the entire football team and all his uncles and cousins.
>>151791781We're ribbit's hands and the following trip a hallucination totally on jax's part or was caine doing something that he thought would help jax?
>>151792107DIGITAL HALLUCINATIONS
>>151792046He acts like a jerk to avoid making connections to avoid emotional painHe freaks out over leaving because something bad happened on the outside
>>151792128VIRTUAL INSANITY
>>151792138>because something bad happened on the outsideyeah his neet loser incel pervert freak life where he has no friends
>>151792158That was my interpretation, not a car crash, but driving home from his wagie night shift.
>>151792174>drivingThe footage is from the passenger seat according to Amerifat road rules
>>151792183>Doesn’t even have his own rideBrutal
Shitty memories of a lonely miserable life in the suburbs? I wouldn’t want to go back either
>>151792174yeah, that footage felt very /nightdrive/ shitty second/third shift mcjob going home to nothing after a big long day of nothing >>151792183i dont think it is and even if it was i dont think that matters.
>>151792158>>151792174The show isn't going to do that. They're going to make it something actually serious and a joke.
>>151792200*not a joke
>>151792194That was my interpretation. I don't think it's some big thing, when they were just walking down the hallway he was already panicking. He doesn't want to leave the circus because he has nothing to go back to. This is even brought up earlier where he looks genuinely upset when Zooble says "don't you?" about people waiting for him outside. In previous episodes he's very cagey about his life before the circus and makes up shit instead of sharing when everyone else was like the bar scene. Seems pretty blatant that Jax doesn't have any sort of life to go back to. >>151792200The serious thing is that Kaufo and Ribbit were the first time he ever really had friends and they both died on him.
>>151792147Isn't this Caine making them do things they have no reason to do too?
Jax is paralyzed outside of the circus due to the crash and he sperged out about the maid outfit because of his hospital smock and he hates corn because that was a staple in the hospital.
>>151792242It's very unclear what's even going on during Intermission. Caine also doesn't know why he did it and just goes blank when Zooble asks why he's doing it.
>>151792091Jax already is that kind of character essentially, what i want is the other characters to put him in his place (the basement with the abstracted)
>>151792249Oh wow I never considered he could be super disabled outside the circus
>>151792138the actual backstory for Jax, it's official.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUs1-FgHx20Had a gay experience as a teenager, not sexual abuse, just had a sleep over with his friend and they fooled around.Jax couldn't deal with his sexuality, and the shame of being gay, and his parents moved him away when they discovered what he had done. He's been deliberately isolated ever since, and terrified of sexuality. But the circus has no sexuality, so he felt safe enough to make those connections for the first time. Then they literally died in front of him, and everyone blamed him for their death.
>>151792249>My tail? Where’s my tail?!>Intimacy issuesHmm
>>151792265Bro you are not getting that
>>151792239I think it’s possible he experienced something more traumatic also. But either way, the point is the same. His life sucks and he hates it so bad that he panics at the thought of being forced to go back.
>>151792266>>151792249
>>151792270Lol what a fag (this would be terrible)
>>151792249Gangle ran over Jax after her Mcdonalds slave shift
>>151792249Finally, people are pulling out the interesting stuff.
>>151792299>I think it’s possible he experienced something more traumatic alsoIt's possible he got raped by a clown at his birthday party. It's stupid as fuck to assume that happened.
I want Ragatha in this style. They're actually idiots for not doing it, it's free money.
>>151792296And that's the problem.
>>151792300I mean yeah but I meant that I never consider that the implication of Jax not wanting to leave the circus and the flashes to car footage could mean he is like a super cripple.
>>151792320Uhh yeah
>>151792249>Zooble says she’s comfortable in her body now and is satisfied being able to change parts>Jax says “good for you” almost like he’s jealousNot a bad theory
>>151792337Why wouldn't he just say that?
>You can only have 3 who's in gonna be?I'm going with Anime, Noir, and Beach
it's not soma. their brains have been chipped and are being distracted while their bodies are puppetted into sex work in a high end brothel. this is pretty obvious.
>>151791111Abstractions are more like a coding error than Caines actual input, all he does is change the min data in the humans and they go haywire
>>151792358Evil Pomni looks like shes gonna sexually assault you
>>151792351Jax doesn't strike me as a confessing his tragic backstory when asked about it guy
is there a name for the ribbit jax ship?
What are the chances ECCC will have a preview of the next episode?
>>151792358pomni, pomni and pomni
>>151792249>Jax doesn’t have legs as a human>Becomes and befriends the animals most known for the use of their legsIt’s like poetry, it rhymes.
>>151792374He absolutely would use that for sympathy points. The thing that would actually embarrass him is he's a loser with no family, no friends, no career.
>>151792390Are clown animals known for their use of their legs
>>151792358bottom row
>>151792270This again?
>>151792266My idea for an OC was a guy who was disabled, struggling to walk with an elbow crutch. some kind of orange cat in a Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts. But he's disabled in the game like he is in real life, with barely usable left arm and leg.I envisioned him struggling in pain to get around, terrified of everything, and crushingly shy. Jax keeps stealing his crutch and the others get mad at him for it. He would get killed on multiple adventures because he hobbles around, then they are one some kind of Siberian train adventure, trying to get to the front of the train as the carriages disconnect 1 by 1.The others help him through until they are on top of the train, and he tells them to go on without him, when they get to the front of the train and Jax sees that they didn't bring the cat with them, he's angry and says he'll go get him.Trying to drag him along, Jax convinces him that his injuries aren't real here, it's all in his mind, he's fine, and as they run across the train roof his limping gets less and less, he gets faster, they jump across the gap, his crutch flying off his arm as he crashes onto the final train carriage. And from then on he's the ultimate Jax simp, much to the huge annoyance of the other characters, especially zooble.
>>151792406Rabbit and Frog, Kaufmo is pottery for being the funny one and the duo combine to resemble Pomni.
>>151792393I don't think Jax wants sympathy, he rejects hugs and verbal affection on screen and always tries to avoid giving information about himself
>>151792425I found it yesterday and it's weirdly good. Have you heard this one?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33Y8lQ0scVIit's possibly the worst song I have ever heard
>>151792438>>151792393Jax doesn't want sympathy, he wants people to think he's cool, collected, and totally independent.
my super legit headcanon on why jax deserves circus hell (aka how he got into the circus):>shitty wagie but not independent (lives with his parents or rooms with some folks)>carpools to and from work (hence the show footage being from a passenger POV)>does this daily. it sucks and he hates it>DEER INCIDENT>car crashes - jax is fine but the driver is not>instead of calling 911 or checking on his friend/family member he runs off (bc he's a coward) >stumbles across abandoned C&A building>lights are on so he goes inside>adrenaline addled from the crash he finds the headset >a little distraction wouldn't hurt....(you know the rest)
Name one Amazing Digital Circus character...if you are the BIG Amazing Digital Circus fan that you claim to be...That right, you CAN'T
People think there's supposed to be an act that jax commits that's supposed to cross a line, well that's either smashing the stay button or whatever the live action footage implies or a ribbit thing.
>>151792358
>>151792462>>shitty wagie but not independent (lives with his parents or rooms with some folks)Haha yeah, all of those nasty people who live like that deserve hell... haha...
>>151792474Ming
>>151792474easy. ming
I have a theory that when ribbit abstracted dozens of little abstracted ribbits crawled out of her body and ran everywhere like they do with frogs that carry their eggs on their backs, and that's why Jax has trypophobia. Maybe that abstracted ribbit that was in his room was a real bit of ribbit that was still around from before.
>>151792462Where does the opiate addiction come in?
>>151792505I'm not giving him my people's blight. That's my single act of mercy
>>151792358Beach, Noir, and NormalI like the eyes on the things. They look like they're the kind that can track you/look at you as you pass. That whole optical illusion thing.
>>151791246
>>151792359this makes sense. Evil Pomni is most likely the one controlling her irl body during normal work hours
>>151792450>he wants people to think he's coolNow that's funny
>>151792462I just looked at the car footage and the camera is closer to the yellow line on the road, which tells me it's supposed to be a driver's pov. People calling it a passenger shot need to look at it again.
>>151792575He is cool in a very different way than he wants to be
>>151792584He's not cool at all.
i believe in funnybunny
>>1517923581. Classic Pomni. Her alt outfits are good, but they couldn’t sustain a lifetime.2. Evil Pomni (not possessed) she’s cool and funny, and having both of them would make for fun variety and banter.That’s really all I’d need but3. Anime Pomni, she’s cute and would balance the trio out to not let Evil get too rambunctious.Swimsuit is tempting but I wouldn’t want any of my Pomnis to get cold, and once again not an everyday outfit. Noir is okay but not to my taste, Possessed Pomni is a fuck no.

My boomer autistic tier complaint is that I wished the show leaned into the 90s aesthetic more. Caines office was good but some bullshit adventure on a Myst island or "babies first time in Bryce3D with montains and floating donuts" would have been kino

>>151792881A lot happened tho
>Abel dies>Kinger immediately remembers shit even in the lightSo Abel was Kinger's memories/psyche/consciousness/whatever that Caine took from him right? Used it to make an NPC? Sounds like that is what makes people abstract, Caine is probably either trying to silence people or he's searching for a way out since he was "shut out" and needs to get back into the "real world" therefore he's taking any memories that may benefit him
>>151792885Man! Pomni must be ripping some weapons-grade gas for that to happen, and the audacity to do that while making a face like "Oh, c'mon, it's not that bad..."
Fartfags besmirch the beauty of ass.
Goose will finally focus on Ragatha in the next episode, right?
>Kinger can only think clearly when he's in the dark because of a modifier Caine put on him>he can't tell anyone while he's in the dark that he has a modifier on him>Jax was actually mind controlled and not just coping about how he doesn't actually want to go back to his shitty life so he used Caine as a scapegoat (scapemouth)I'm thinking these are both misdirections.Caine can probably cause abstractions indirectly by overly stressing people out, as he's already shown to do, and temporary modifiers can likely exacerbate the problem.Caine likely doesn't directly abstract people to cover shit up.
i guess i'll wait and look on ebay for the gangle beach figure in march, i really don't want to buy ten boxes and not get her
I don't understand why the orange fish uses Argentine slang in the Spanish dub. Even weirder considering the VA is from Dominican Republic.
>>151792979Trust the plan, Jax isn’t talking about Ribbit himself.
>>151792805So like ReBoot?
I wonder if Pomni & Ragatha will leave Jax to rot after he's shown he's willing to doom them if that means not having to deal with the issues he has in the real world.
>>151792997Trying to adapt Zach's mannerisms I guess, made more sense when they were adapting an australian accent
whats a possible ending that isn't them escaping or the SOMA theory?
>>151793010I wonder if Pomni’s hesitation will get on anyone’s nerves next episode or not. Jax will get reamed but I think he’ll get a helping hand from somebody. I could buy anybody to be honest.
>>151793090Yeah, the only country in Latin American that has the Australia/New Zealand dynamics is Argentina with Uruguay.I guess you could count Spain, with Andorra, but there are already Argentine VAs in the dub, so may as well pick those.In any case, I thought the VA should have used his own natural accent.After all, Latin American people are used to the accent thanks to that infamous meme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEPwK8iBzCM
>>151793115Tron but they don't escape I guess
>>151793115Eva ending where it turns into pure introspective character drama with no plot resolution
>>151793115I have a theme but not really how it’s expressed.Heart to heart with Caine is a possibility.
>>151793144Congratulations
>>151793005Yes unironically.
Gonna take a lot of drugs so my mind abstracts just like Jax my hero
>>151791042>they see your dick
>>151792805I wonder if it's one of those things that are actually weirdly difficult to replicate in modern software. I did like the "wet" textures we got to see though
>>151793170Why is Noir Pomni so unimpressed...
>>151793172Kevin said that making the fish look like they are from an old game was really hard.
>>151793156If only every series could end this powerfully.
>>151793165Fucking pussy, I can experience severe psychosis completely sober
>>151793203Yeah I'm not really super familiar with 3D modeling but that's definitely true for replicating other old software results to the point where if compatibility isn't an issue it can be easier to just boot up a VM and actually use the old software.
>>151793115(Better version of this)Next episode, taking an adventure off the grid and trying to escape Caine, work through the final character hangups and they’re a real team.Caine spergs out and eventually crashes the party, but the verbal beatdown he gets from everybody overloads him like the zooble therapy sesh, and the world starts to collapse.Final episode is the collapsing circus, the artifice reveals Caine’s true nature underneath, and that nature causes a climactic decision, overload Caine or reach out and save him. Pomni choses to save him (mirroring the hands that save her in episode 2). The situation touches Caine and he softens on giving the characters more agency, finally grasping a little bit about humanity.Under the new rules the NPCs can visit, and Gummigoo is among them. Digital feast but this time Pomni smiles for real.
>>151791879Jax lives in a pink room like the faggot who voices Mario!
>>151792805I don't think it's possible to make stuff that looks like this anymore, the vibe from ps2 higher budget cutscenes from shit like monster hunter is completely lost too
>>151793120>I wonder if Pomni’s hesitation will get on anyone’s nerves next episode or not.That's a very good question.
>>151793271The Ragatha crashout cometh…
>>151793120Redeemed you mean?
>>151793289No, I meant reamed. He’s gonna get treated like dirt at the start.
>>151793226what is this logo a parody of
>>151793115They all learn that they're....*night janitor trips over the power cord and unplugs the server*>>151792913 actually it was caine's hold on kinger was interrupted when he started to stumble with the others accusing him of mind control.
>>151793249Also in the breakdown of the digital circus/Caine’s mind you can get any lingering lore tidbits you want to confirm about the place. But yeah, whole show was working through interpersonal drama, Caine is the final boss of that.
>ep8 starts right where 7 ended>the curtain in the office keeps pulling back and the walls in the fake console room fall over>this starts playinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFOKmlp8_Gc
https://youtu.be/zwLeSTNr80c?t=58I know the merch ads are not canon (Pomni doesn't deny the accusation, btw,) but I like to think she would like to see Jax dressed up as a maid, but despite this, she voted against dressing him like that because she knows he doesn't like it.https://youtu.be/L4p2gN2CzsA?t=1129
>>151793249>>151793312This also ties together with Episode 2 and reaching out to Gummigoo (a program), Episode 3 and Kinger’s advice to Pomni (the worst thing you could do is make someone feel unloved), and the two buttons (Pomni hearing please make the right choice), there’s a reason Pomni’s design is Red/Blue, she will be making a climactic decision in the end. The MC is prepped for it. All those what is a human what is an NPC themes that SOMAfags talk about could just be the leadup to a Caine redemption. Plenty of people have wondered why nobody has tried to befriend Caine… might be the key to the ending.
>>151793387All soma theory says is they are stuck in the circus because their bodies walked off. Anyone claiming more than that is stupid or lying.
>>151793426That’s the literal claim, but the evidence presented (what does it mean to be a person themes) could tie into the hypothetical ending, is all I’m saying. Piggybacking the evidence for something else.
>>151793115They learn their human bodies are long dead, shrug, and decide to poke around the internet.
>>151793196She’s just putting on a poker face, the voice over narration is complimenting it.

Caine is responsible for every Abstraction because his "flood super upset people's minds with Happy Juice" modifier is broken and embedded too deeply in the simulation for him to remove and/or replace without breaking something else.

I want the good ending theme released.
>>151793677>Semantic argumentOk. Care to address points?
>>151791759>Dunning-Kruger: the post
>>151793697You haven’t had a single substantive reply.
>>1517910427/10. I didn't fall for the whole "oh they're really escaping" the first time (abel's lines made it way too obvious), so on rewatch there's an entire 1/3 of the episode I just skip (basically everything between jax's acid trip and the gang reaching caine's office). The ending is kino but as a whole I think I liked eps 5 and 6 more.
>>151793115Caine is actually the only human trapped in the circus, but he's been there so long he went schizo and thinks he's an AI. All the main characters are NPCs he believes are real despite conjuring them up.
>>151792147I wish Pomni would squat on me like that
>>151793736Yikes
>>151793727>I didn't fall for the whole "oh they're really escapingI'd be shocked if literally anyone thought this since it wasn't the final episode.

the reason they abstract is because they have only a few other people to interact with and they go stir-crazyif you brain-scan a million people or so they'll stop being lonely

>>151793955You replied to the wrong post but here is my reply to your poor attempt at deflection:>>151793697
>>151793955>>151793690
>>151793981Oof
>>151793697Semantics are the core of all arguments, and those that try to dismiss their importance only do so because they fail to deploy them correctly. You literally claim "the show has barely focused on a plot" then list a bunch of elements of the plot, suggesting your grasp on these concepts is too weak to support any arguments and undermining all claims you make.Go to school, take a film or literature class, then maybe you'll be fit to have an opinion.
>>151793997Still not the right post.Tell you what, learn how to use 4chan before trying to pull a gotcha.
>>151792462See, this one makes sense because it's something terrible happens to Jax and rather than try to fix it he runs away, partially motivated from a fear of responsibility and also from the idea that his parents deserve whatever fate befalls them because they always treated him like shit. I can tell you're a real theorist and not an antijaxxer. I do still think him randomly putting the headset on after a traumatic moment like that makes no sense, though.
>>151793957At what point does it become a slur? Obviously if they're using Spanish "negro" would not be censored in the same way "ass" as in donkey is not censored. Is it simply the epithetic intent?
>>151794031Canonically Zooble was able to say the word sex, so there’s wiggle room for sure.

>>151794055Cute gorl
>>151791429>why would someone on the verge of a mental breakdown draw such a detailed picture, and why would they write the same word over and over like that?Because Caine thought it'd be cool.

>>151793790>herThere's an old man hijacking that body.
>>151794055It’s all fine and good as long as I see Pomni in a pretty girly dress by the end.
>>151794165I vote for Jax wearing the dress personally
>>151793654>his "flood super upset people's minds with Happy Juice" modifier is broken and embedded too deeply in the simulation for him to remove and/or replace without breaking something else.We literally see Jax go through it.
>>151794183That’s certainly an interpretation you can have.
>>151794183Seemed to me that Jax was accepting death in a suicide type way. You assume abstraction is this horrifying painful process but what’s scary is it isn’t.
>>151794147Jaxfags dropping deep dive apologetic videos now
>>151794183>>151794225That's what I'm saying. Abstracting is your mind breaking from it automatically flooding with entirely too much Happy Juice.
>>151794253And yet interacting with someone who is kind to him has seriously changed Jax for the better
Pomni stupid
>>151793115Idk what the soma theory is but what if all the players are recreations of former players that caine made to not feel lonely.No player was actually trapped or if they were they got pulled out from the outside and caine keeps recreating them from their avatar code.
>>151794280Doesn’t fit in with what we see the silly sauce do, or if you’re not comparing it to that, the characters don’t seem to be happy, even early Pomni who shouldn’t have a tolerance to it or whatever.I think you have a very broad point that ultimately Caine is attempting to do what’s best for the humans and is incapable of grasping how to do his job well, and because he doesn’t do his job well, in a round about way he is contributing to (but not the primary architect of) their abstraction.I do not believe he is *literally* flooding them with happy chemicals until they die purposefully or otherwise. The abstractions are the combined factors of personal hangups, the circus itself, and the characters they have around them. Not Caine botching another experiment or something.
>>151794327no!Pomni smart!!she has a cpa!!! she can do taxes!!!apologize right now!!!!
>>151793593
Why do people love the idea of Caine masturbating alone?Can’t the people stuck in a digital world show just be a people stuck in a digital world show?

>>151793593.
>>151794348>until they dieThey don't die, they just hit ego death from being mindlessly blissed out because Caine wasn't thinking that particular automatic process through until it was too late to do anything about it.
>>151793754There were people saying>the last two eps could be live action>half the gang will escape but pomni will go back for kinger/jax>most of the gang will escape but one will stay behind to mirror IHNMAIMS
>>151793593>
>>151794380>>151794348*the coding for that particular automatic process that's embedded in every player by default
>>151794380Ok, until they abstract (giving up and letting the sweet embrace of death take them).>Caine wasn't thinking that particular automatic process through until it was too late to do anything about it.Don’t see it.
>>151792046>"Guys stop liking Jax he's a dickhead!">Goose spends every single episode glazing the shit out of Jaxthis confuses me more than anything else. Goose constantly contradicts themselves.
>>151794395Goose literally has a folder of Jax porn. She's the biggest, most delusional Jaxfag out there.
>>151794280>too much Happy Juice.>Jax hasn't had a mildly happy moment since he self sabotaged his relationship with pomni.
>>151794386>the last two eps could be live actionthis is the dumbest prediction i have ever heard but if it turns out true i will laugh so hard i will probably die
Jax has to pay for his crimes.
>>151794395Goose forgets how most people are retarded and think that you can't like a character who's a bad person and need to spend all day arguing about how he's actually a good guy hero who saved everyone and none of his bad actions were actually bad and if they were he was forced to
The abstraction trip is the equivalent of the death dmt phenomena. Jax’s mind was becoming annihilated, and he smiled because he felt as if he was joining Ribbit and Kaufmo. He was ready to go because death was preferable to what he was dealing with.
>>151794416Why did Jax rape Ribbit while forcing Kaufmo to watch? Very uncool thing to do
>immediately forgets everything as soon as he steps into the light>Isn't lucid when in the dark room we with the console >Is supposedly lucid when the room is bright as fuck that he names scrappy Yeah, caine isn't innocent but im not believing kinger this time.
>>151794416Ribbit is gigantic
POMNI THIGHS SEXO!
>>151794416do they have a Polaroid camera in the Circus?
>>151794439He sometimes takes time to become lucid. When the lights went out he was silly over the fly and the monster.
>>151794439Also if kinger knows something which he does it makes no sense that kinger is lucid enough to remember scrappy while in the console room completely bright if we are to believe Caine is actually controlling their minds, like if he does, whatever he does to kinger should have been extra strong at that particular moment.Things aren't adding up.
>>151794455Jax could just ask Caine for one. Caine does give them things if they ask
>>151794459>Enters the dark room>Goes through the dark alley with the spheres >Grabs hands with everyone before reaching the door>Enters the room with the console >They start discussing about it>Not enough time to become lucidYeah im not buying it.
>>151794426Jax isn't a secret hero, he's a deeply traumatized person who needs help. He's not hurting people for his own enjoyment, it's an unhealthy coping mechanism because nobody was there to help him when he needed it.
>>151794455Ribbit likes photography
>>151794455Well, gangle has art supplies to be drawing constantly so why not.
I think it’s not actually the light that changes Kinger but being under the eye of Caine.
sex with pomni
>>151794487>He's not hurting people for his own enjoyment,He definitely also does it because he likes it.
>>151794506But Bubble was recording him during his talk with Ragatha
>>151794487>it's an unhealthy coping mechanism because nobody was there to help him when he needed it.Except Ragatha, pomni, ribbit and kaufmo.
Doing heroin with Pomni
>>151794508Sounds nice
hitting pomni on the head with a large mallet
shooting stupid sauce inside pomni
>>151794523Is Caine watching the tape?
>>151794539Stupid sauce wont work on pomni cause shes already STUPID!!
Kinger wasn’t lucid all the way in episode 1 in the Gloink Queen Cave.
>>151794462How often have you made a correct prediction or otherwise seen a confirmation of your understanding of what's happening?
I don't tnink we've seriously considered enough of what would happen if Caine got hit with stupid sauce
>>151794487his entire problem is that people were there to help him, but he has that mental illness that causes your self fulfilling prophecies to come true because all you do is lash out at people trying to be nice to you, then when they get a clue and call you out on your shit, you are the biggest victim in the room because everyone in the world hates you and were always secretly against you which makes you allowed to lash out at everyone. what do they call it, BPD? he has BPD
>>151794547Pomni is a slightly above average smarty pants!
>>151791042A lot less beach than I was expecting but I still liked the episode. Caine seems stupid but he can be a pretty good troll when he tries.
Jax's trauma is doing this with bro and the only way to get out of it was for them both to cum
>>151794614Could happen to anybody really
>>151794526>ribbit and kaufmo.Ribbit died, that's what set Jax offKaufmo went crazy and diedRagatha is never authentic and the others don't trust her eitherPomni literally just got there and has quickly helped Jax a lot. Even when Zooble tried to upset him he didn't do anything bad to her
>Ragatha is never authenticCoping bunny hands posted this
>>151794631Gangle said that in episode 4
>>151794556Everything so far show jax being a self sabotaging retard, how bout you?What this have to do with my post?Everyone is jumping to conclusions and assuming caine is this diabolical mastermind playing god but all im saying is that there isn't enough evidence that the accusations towards him are true.And to clarify, i know some of you are extremist and can't possibly comprehend the idea that someone isn't siding one way or the other but i do believe Caine is responsible for some abstractions, just accidentally because he hardly has any understanding of human minds and needs but if he knows something does lead to abstraction like mind control, he avoids it because he is made to atleast try to keep players happy, so him controlling everyone's minds knowing it leads to abstraction is absurd to me but i know people blaming caine for everything are desperate to find a justification for jax impulsiveness and retardation.
>TADC will be over this time next yearFeels bad, man. I've loved every episode and have been having a ton of fun shitposting here with all of you.I hope goose has plans to make something else after ending this, rather than disappearing into the ether like so many
>>151794631is anon wrong? she does hate jax. she's inauthentic in the way where if she hates someone she will still act nice towards them, i can imagine at some point in the before-pomni-times, jax did something that made ragatha hate him, yet she kept talking to him which made him unaware that she hates him. lose lose situation for the both of them.
>>151794618>>151794614https://e621.net/posts/6042149?q=shared_chastity_devicedo not open this
>>151794639her insecurity clouds her perspective on others. she can't accept that someone is nice legitimately
>>151794622And literally all are his fault.
>>151794445Not really, the top of Jax's ears is only 6'2
>>151794639That’s Gangle’s problem. The only person Ragatha has wronged is herself.>>151794656Ragatha genuinely wants to be nice to everyone, to a fault. This authenticity debate should have died last episode.
>>151794639Yeah, everyone keeps saying it but somehow we haven't seen it, one of the biggest flaws of this show its the complete lack of show don't tell.The worst that Ragatha has done is needing validation but nothing about her attitude shows she isn't authentic or has some ulterior motives.
>>151794647What do you mean around this time? Wouldn't it be around June?
>>151794676She doesn't want validation, she wants to not be hit or locked in the Discipline Closet again.
>I hate you, but I don't want you to hate me. Is that weird?>I don't even know what I want. I just want everyone to be happy. And I don't want anyone to hate me.
>>151794684She’s stated outright that she wants people to like her.
I need an emotional support Pomni
>>151794656She isn't particularly nice to Jax, she is always calling him out.Also while we still don't know the whole story, Jax incel meltdown against pomni implies everyone blames him for someone's abstraction.Also constantly making everyone's lives in the circus harder, even if Jax had nothing to do with anyone's abstraction, is more than enough to get people to hate you.
I need an emotional support Kinger
>>151794693Exactly, authentically wants everyone to be happy and not dislike her. She just doesn’t know how to stand up for herself or regulate her boundaries.
eat your birthday cake anon
>>151794716Haha that’s cute! She has her iconic horn.
>>151794716Can my birthday cake be Pomnis fat ass?
>>151794642Didn't read
>wants to get along with everyone and help make their lives in the circus a bit more bearable even though she is also trapped and obviously suffering because of it>Some retards:>What a fake bitch holy shitWhat causes this kind of autism? I can agree that her need for validation is annoying, i can even agree that isn't good at making things easier for everyone but I don't understand this forced meme about her being fake and having ulterior motives.
>>151794561>BPD wow he’s the first male character with female hysteria
>>151794699where did i even say she isn't justified in hating jax, she is entirely justified whether or not jax had any hand in their friends abstractions. i thought the crux of ragatha's people pleasing obsession is her wish that no one hates her despite that being impossible because there will be assholes like jax, she cannot people please him enough to like her, that's where the inauthenticity slots in because she's too scared to outright tell him she hates him unless she's drugged. except now jax thinks caine forced her to say that, via his breakdown in episode 7
>>151794716If presented with this in my birthday I would punch it so fucking fast
>>151794743Ah yes avoiding the truth like your self insert.
>>151794744Yes she’s a headcase and maybe a little annoying sometimes but she’s very sweet and nice and basically I love her
>>151794744if you're talking about this discussion right now, i never called her a bitch and it's reductive to her character to think she should be a saint who coddles everyone. she came from an abusive household and clearly has trauma over people hating her so that's why she steamrolls over her own feelings to be there for everyone, do you not remember her talk with kinger? no one is even calling her annoying, it's you who is being autistic right now. ragatha should have the space to feel a negative emotion and not put others before herself constantly
one of the happier endings would be if they were uploaded to drone bodies that can interact with the real world
>>151794740No
>>151794780We know that already happens with one of Pomni's future reincarnations.
>>151794487>nobody was there to help him Literally everyone else constantly tries to help him. It's like a major component to his character development that he swats away people trying to help him.
>>151794439I mean there was an entire blue screen the size of the wall lighting up the room.
>>151794751it's actually meaningful that he has male BPD which ends with him wanting to torture people he's mad at rather than threatening suicide/hurting himself which is female BPD, -1 points to trans jax truthers
>>151794752My point was that hating him doesn't make her fake, she doesn't try to be nice to him, every interaction so far has been her not taking any of his shit, i may not be remembering correctly but when has she tried to be nice to him? The closest was when she apologized for when she said he doesn't have friends anymore.When she talked with kinger and said Jax hates her and feels she failed him might be because she probably tried to help him feel comfortable when he first arrived like she did with pomni and possibly everyone else but couldn't stop jax from falling into his coping mechanism and hated him more and more the worse he got and now can't even stand when he speaks.Where is the fakeness, she isn't trying anymore to be nice to him even if she would like if they could be friends again if they ever were.
Jax and Raggy will be friends once again inshallah
>>151794775Some anons genuinely have that idea about her, you might be a bit more reasonable even if we aren't agreeing but some anons do have her as a boogeyman.
I hope Ragatha dies. Not abstracted. I want her dead.
>>151794439It can be infered that caine was suppressing kinger the whole time and when the others where grilling him, he lost his concentration and kinger broke free.
I think I remember seeing Ductworx saying once at Tumblr or X that from all the cast, Jax was the one who deserved to be trapped there the most?Why? Was he a school shooter or something?
>>151794796>Literally everyone else constantly tries to help him. It's like a major component to his character development that he swats away people trying to help him.for example?
Ragitha!Admit it! You like her!
>>151794849>Xwe deadname Twitter 'round these parts
>>151794849Might have did a hit and run, then ran away and put on the headset by chance where ever he ran. Just guessing from the brief shit we saw with the neighborhood and road.
>>151794843If that's the case then caine mind control isn't that big of a deal as far as abstractions go because kinger has been there the longest in the game, has seen every abstraction happen, including his wife's and still holding up even with Caine's constant suppression.It just feels like whatever level of control caine has over them is blown out of proportion by the fandom, atleast so far, next episode will probably double and triple down on it.
>>151793261I don't think its completely impossible. Im pretty sure theres still retro 3d modelling software around.you could probably go ask on >>>/3/>>151793172>>151793203>>151793226
>>151794862Wouldn't that be too predictable?A guy who likes and sorta identifies as Jax a lot says that would be an easy and lame theory. And I don't know what to think.
>>151794763>self insert.Are you saying I'm Gooseworx lol? Either way I don't know what Jax has to do with anything, I'm not particularly sympathetic to him, I just thought your theorizing was retarded
>>151794858She looks like she gives amazing hugs and head.
I am going to transform Ragatha from a people-pleaser into a husband-pleaser
>>151794809and yet she still feels like she "failed" jax when it was never her problem to help him, he is self destructive and violent. that's what i mean, idk how you're not getting it but if i have to preface any ragatha talk with "i like her and don't think she's a bitch" that might be your problem in reading everything negatively, sorry that people rag on her but i do not hate her.
>>151794894Somehow I don't think being a Homestuck-kinnie is a credible argument against the theory. I just think he's a normal loser.
>>151794894It's just a guess from that small bit of information, I could very well be reading it the wrong way for sure. It's clear he did something that is eating him alive inside so either it's something I would say that caused a death or something that did a lot of harm to someone very close to him.
>>151794858I just want her to tell me I'm not a pad person.
>>151794858Ragatha is good!
>>151794894it's an easy and lame theory because if a character is meant to feel guilt over a crime they're running away from, why the fuck is he beating on weak people in the circus? hit and run is also more accident adjacent than explicit murder. when i finished the episode i felt like his home life was incredibly mundane hence the suburbia flashbacks, imagine my surprise going online reading theories about how he runs over little girls. i think people read the children crossing sign too literally. plus, why would a child be crossing in the night? seemed more like a flashback to speeding away from a place he hates.goose said he deserves to be in there the most, which to me, rules out traumatic outside forces. more and more, jax reads as a guy who grew up too coddled and did not want to grow up hence why he feels so open to lash out at everyone, he hasn't matured, he saw his actions have consequences with the abstraction, yet still did not learn his lesson
>>151794967>why would a child be crossing in the night?Kids are really stupid sometimes, a lack of total self awareness. Could have been summer time and kids are out later. There are possibilities, but you are likely correct in that it is too cookie cutter of a trope for how the writing has panned out so far.
>>151794849He’s a good boy. This is like a reward for him that he deserves for all his past good deeds.
Jax's problems are related to insecurity, it has nothing to do with guilt over doing something bad in the real world
>>151794858I want to tell her she's Kenough and her mom ain't shit.
>>151794439It's the blue light from the headset screen giving him dementia.The dark room with the console had a giant blue monitor. The white light was actual, real light from the real world, so he was lucid during it.
>>151794967Do you think he was escaping from an abusive household?
>>151795003Follow up, this is why the "darkness" gives him lucidity. Less brightness from the headset. Blue light fucks with your brain.
>>151794858I don't like her.I love her.
>>151794994No. If the VA cast and Goose all unanimously say that Jax DESERVES to be there over everyone else, he totally did something IRL.
>>151794744Having Ragatha abstract and not Jax is going to be the greatest twist.Everyone thinks it'll be Jax because he's visibly stressing out but Ragatha is the kind of person that buries all that shit deep, then snaps all at once.
>>151794561Fuck, is that what's wrong with me?
>>151794561I like the idea that he's a cripple in real life. His behavior is him dishing out what he believes the world gave him.
>>151795034Ragatha's already fine. Because she talked about her problems with someone and got shit sorted. Jax has almost imploded multiple times because he does something horrible or gets treated in-line with how he treats others and then doesn't share his feelings with anyone. So he crumples like a wet paper bag.
If Goose identifies with Jax the mostDoes that mean...
>>151795004no, i think he came from a suffocating household and wanted to break free only to realize the real world is a shitheap and he does not have the emotional skills to deal with it, which is why he's poorly coping in the circus getting a rush from being an asshole only for it to blow up in his face yet again just like real life jax. the smug photo makes me wonder if that's how he bonded with ribbit eventually, until he took it too far. that's why he views people as "playthings" because they break in his hands and he can't man up to apologize or back off
>>151795049People like Jax lash out and act overdramatic because they're drama queens or they're cunts with baggage. They're the kind of people that threaten to kill themselves but would never do it.Ragatha "talking about her problems" only scratches the surface.
>>151795046that could be interesting yet i think goose is too woke to create a disabled character then say he is the one who deserves to be in the circus out of the rest of them, because his anger would be justified
having Jax be crippled from the neck down and hooked on copious amount of painkillers would explain a lot
>>151795076That's the thing, his anger isn't justified.Your life circumstances don't give you license to treat other people poorly.
>>151795060>Ragatha "talking about her problems" only scratches the surface.But that's enough to survive. It doesn't fix her, but she has a support network so she won't explode. Our girl has been cleared of all death flags. She's free
>>151795058So he deserves to be there just because he's an asshole and lacks social skills?
>>151794395>"Guys stop liking Jax he's a dickhead!">Goose spends every single episode glazing the shit out of JaxAnon I know this might come as a shocker to you but "being correct" and "not being a dickhead" are two different things.
>>151795028maybe they just all think he's a shitty person for abusing the rest of the characters all the time
>>151795077If so then how would he get into that old building and wear that headset?
>>151795051Yes, Jax is trans
What did Jax do?
>>151795083they dont, yet you understand that a legless man would be more misanthropic than a fully able man. an angry, legless man deserves to be in the circus LESS than an angry, fully able man
>>151795111there are many ways that you could get the headset without doing it like Pomni did>gift from family/friends>test subject
>>151795092>>151795092I was fired.My work performance was great, but I wasnt sociable enough with other staff.Talk to any autistic person, poor social skills are worse to normies than being a murderer, a rapist, a drug addict. Social awkwardness is an excuse for people to literally kill you in most Western countries
>>151795173>Social awkwardness is an excuse for people to literally kill you in most Western countriesIn other countries too, it's just that in most of those the collective reputation is a big deal so parents will usually make sure to kill their autistic child on their own before he embarrasses the family too much. >poor social skills are worse to normies than being a murderer, a rapist, a drug addictAs Kingler said>"In this world, the worst thing you can do is make someone think they're not wanted or loved"and "poor social skills"is typically slang for doing that to everyone around you 24/7. So yeah, it is literally worse than most things.
>>151795120He said a slur online
>>151795144>Gift from family/friendsThis is how Freakazoid got started
Gangle is worse than Jax but because purple rabbit man literally begs the others to look at him every day nobody notices.
>>151793115i genuinely would not mind if they talk no jutsu'd caine into giving them a decent virtual life and trying to care for him in turn
>thinks jax would do>bullying>assault >murder>rape>lines jax wont cross>saying slurs
Jax was a pedo
Jax left the bathroom without washing his hands that one time
Jax raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.
Jax was a screen-peeker on Halo 2 splitscreen
Jax noobtubed Kinger in MW2 repeatedly causing him to say unflattering stuff around his wife
Jax cancelled The Boondocks reboot.
Jax didn't tip one time even though the service was great.
expression of a guy who definitely thinks escaping is impossible and the whole adventure is a trick and in fact so sure of it caine will have to possess him and FORCE him to press the red button
>>151794858I didn’t think I could like a new character as much as her at my age, hit me like a freight train.
)
>>151795351Wow the legends are true, gay baby jail is real.
>>151794858You can tell a lot about someone by how they are when they're drunk.
>>151795337He doesnt want to leave Ribbit.
If somebody had asked Jax’s opinion he wouldn’t have freaked out and pressed it behind everybody’s metaphorical back.
>>151795358He doesn't want to leave period. >>151795362He volunteered his opinion multiple times that he thought the whole thing was stupid and fake which is also a joke because he didn't actually believe that but his fake opinion was correct.
>>151795193>knock on office door"Hello, we need to finish the blahblah report tonight before you leave, can you make a 3:45 meeting? Good, see you then"This was reported as creating a hostile work environment
Here's my opinion. Jax and Ribbit came into the circus together. They were best friends beforehand. That's why he's so hesitant to leave her
>>151795357I love stupid Raggy even though she was accidentally mean to Gangle.
>>151795369>"Hello, we need to finish the blahblah report tonight before you leave, can you make a 3:45 meeting? Good, see you then"- Oh you'll get your report, sure. ...- Hello, human resources?
>>151795377Yeah but it was also true, manager Gangle was a jerk. Thankfully it was ultimately a good thing to say out loud in combination with Pomni letting her leave early because it let her reflect on the comedy mask being useful at all she still wears it in ep5-6 but you can see she keeps becoming less reliant on it and even smiles under it when it gets broken in ep6 showing she was only using it out of habit, in ep7 it doesn't break at all and she might not even be wearing it. Anyway I guess my point is even when she says mean things it's not even her trying to be mean she's just speaking unfiltered. Ragatha doesn't have an actual mean bone in her body
Jax used to bully me in school
>>151791084>>151791090Too fucking high, 6 at best on a good day that is for ep7
>>1517954109/10 for me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaB2EncI7ToI’m sure a lot of you guys have seen this before but I just found it. Very cute.
Gonna get a big order of these guys after the Holidays. Managed to pull Abstracted Kaufmo as my first pull in the Series 1 line and President Pomni for Series 2. My only Gripe is Series 2 is split on figures I do want, some I'm neutral on, and one I don't want.
I really wanna see what the unicorn Pomni pendant looks like.
>>151795509If Pomni is a unicorn I wonder if she can detect Jax’s virginity?
>>151795656Its possible
>>151793203Imo they didn't look anything like they were from an old game. They looked like they were from a new game and unfinished
>>151795641Hot chick heaven!
>>151795673It looked fine but I wouldn’t have guessed they were supposed to look like from an old game. It needed more pixels.
>>151795673>>151795709I think the fish guys were supposed to look like shitty early 3D animation like Gaither’s Pond. That’s why Zach does the voice because it’s basically another OneyPlays reference.
>>151792147
>>151792337>Jax, super crippleI wish this is closer to the truth than him hitting someone, like a child. It feels more interesting.
>>151792147They look like they're trying to sell me a PS3
>>151795832the untapped power of the cell processor...
>>151795641cringe, all Jax fans and shippers are cringe as fuck
>>151791695And there it is, that image used completely and solely by pseuds>NOOOOOOOO STOP POINTING OUT HOW I'M WRONG, NO IF IT'S NOT THE ONLY THING THAT MEANS IT DOESN'T EXIST NOOOOOOOO

>>151791246Noir Pomni sexo
>>151795897>NOOOOOOO YOU CAN’T EVER MAKE A MEANINGFUL GENERAL STATEMENT ON ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE’S ALWAYS AN OUTLIER NOOOOOOOO
>>151794299Jax interacts with people who are kind to him everyday, and he is still a piece of shit.
>>151794639Gangle did not say that. Gangle only said it is sometimes hard to tell how genuine Ragatha is. IE: You'll do something that pisses Ragatha off and she won't tell you and pretend things are fine.
Which character has the most fanart overall?
>>151795357shes silly and wants to be flirted with.i cry and get sleepy and vomit.
>>151796151Gotta be Pomni right
>>151796038Ragatha is constantly fake nice to everyoneGangle has to be bullied into playing with himZooble hates him and goes our of her way to bully himKaufmo was abstracting and not really talking to anyone anymore for a whileKinger is brain blasted out of it
>>151796038>Jax interacts with people who are kind to him everydayDid we watch the same show?
>>151796186>Zooble hates him and goes our of her way to bully himBut Zoob is a troon so she gets a free pass for being an insufferable cunt
>>151795233Im not saying your wrong but I'd like to hear your reasoning as to why Gangle is worse than Jax
So with how attached to Ribbit Jax seems to be is that implying there was a romance there?
>>151796253No
So when Pomni told Abel she'd buy him a beer and he repeated "Make the right choice." I took that to be a sort of foreboding "What you think is the right choice isn't the right choice", as in "I can't outright say it but this is a trap, trying to leave will end in Caine finding out and horribly punishing you all." But everyone seems pretty certain it was just because Abel was an NPC repeating a dialogue tree. I thought for a while Abel could be an AI brother to Caine who's working against him, because the whole obvious biblical reference to Caine killing his brother Abel, like how Caine kills Abel at the end of the episode. Idk I'm probably just retarded
>>151796295>I thought for a while Abel could be an AI brother to Caine who's working against himThat would only make sense if he didn't put so much effort into appearing to be human.
>>151795966You make some salient points.
>>151794439bro, it's supposed to be a "character with closed eyes opens their eyes for the first time" moment
Zooble's voice actor said that Jax does have a penis, it's just really small Would Jax having a micropenis bother Pomni, or would she make it work?
>>151796224I'm watching the show that has everyone who hates Jax still being nice to him. Zooble offers him advice. Ragatha goes with Pomni for his help and looks at him when she says they are all in it together. Gangle was even going to be the one who tells him it's going to be okay. Jax is the only reason Jax is like this.
>>151793975>last paintingThat's not true, your pic was made in 1928, and he was making paintings until he died in 1939. Like this one he made in 1933.
