>>152918748arousal
>>152918748I wasn't worried
>>152920589Holy fuck I remember this fanart, crazy that it literally happened in the show
>>152920605Didn't really happen though. Maybe next episode if something worse than Caine comes around
You don't deserve better. Wallow in grief and give up.
All caine had to do would be to relegate adventures to maybe a once or twice a week affairs. This give me cian more time to plan as well as the humans more time to process and come to terms with their situation
>>152920715Yeah, the tumor.Bubble Jr. please deliver us from this evil.
You now remember The Void.
>>152918748>okay foids what was your initial reaction when he said>>Where’s Kinger.Put it in my pussy NOW j/k I was just like uh-oh. Caine didn't really get sexy to me until he started growing multiple arms.
Friendly reminder that Jax was raped in the sizzling hot summer of 2012.
>>152920838All Caine had to do was shut up and don't do anything when not needed like a good program. My calculator doesn't wake up and spam numbers when I ignore it.

>>152920865I believe he was circumcised
>people gooning alreadyI didn't know AI programmers were considered highly attractive
>>152920838Caine was seemingly getting close to breaking out of his crunchtime phase, but the question of whether the humans would've lasted long enough to let him work though his issues is another matter.
>>152920853Seeing the void again...look at the corner.
>>152920888Seeing him scared and without pants turned people on
>>152920888>>152920874>Everyone is censored>Scratch is the only human with out pants and an uncensored swinging cock
Everyone after Kinger was literally conjured by Caine and thus the entire series was all just an in-house adventure for Kinger
DRANK swalalalaDRANK swalalala
>>152920853>the reason Caine never discovered the computer had Internet access was because he never cared about parts of the computer that he didn't create
>>152918748The same “oh shit” reaction anyone including a non-foid would have. I like cheerful silly innocent little Caine (so I can dommy mommy him) better than malvado y sexy evil dominant Caine.
>>152920921A St. Elsewhere ending, I see.
>>152920926Pomni is NOT built like that
I hope episode 9 centers about saving Caine from the trash bin or wherever. Even if he really screwed up all the way I feel like it would run contrary to the show's message if they just ignore someone lashing out because they had a mental breakdown, even if that someone is an AI.Also I don't subscribe to the theory that Bubble is a remnant of the first AI, since Bubble directly say "You were always the lesser of the two", which seems to imply to me that Bubble is not counting itself as either Caine or the other AI.
Oh shit
>>152920932>porn artists giving a shit about series-accurate designs
>>152920742>Baby traps you
>>152920949huh
>>152920934Caine's redemption is that the creation of his creation will be good.He is not the demiurge, no matter his flaws, his art can be better than he was.

>>152920888Honestly, as odd as this might sound, people might subconsciously feel for him because he has cancer.
>>152920972...Rusty?
Caine's not coming back. In fact, right after they finished recording the voices, Alex was grabbed by the collar and thrown from the studio Uncle Phil style.
>>152920930But Kinger isn't autistic, right?
>>152918748Do you guys want Caine back?
Goose dead yet?
Just deleted my son
>>152920934Why would Bubble reveal his identity while Caine's still in any condition to do something about him?
>>152921000can't believe kinger got an abortion
>>152920977*hadNow the cancer HAS him
>>152920988Nah.
>>152920972I just shitpost in these generals for about a week after the latest episode about how my favorite character won/lost and then move on. I don't know shit about this community's OC's and fantheories.
>>152921000good fuck him
>>152920988I think the Ringmaster Pomni ending could use a redeemed Caine. He is not quite "fixed," but he is much happier in a new role that helps him contribute to human happiness.
>>152920972I...don't
>>152920934I think they will bring it full circle and get Caine back even if the very end gets wacky, there’s been a lot of emotional build up with the others
>>152921013>he's Bubble but as a bee
>>152920977Eh, I'm of the headcanon that physical ailments don't exist in the circus so Scratch doesn't have cancer. Also anyone who says "RAGATHA LOST HER EYE, HER MOM TORE IT OUT BECAUSE SHE'S EVIL!" is retarded.
Jax is shown to have a heartbeat, despite being in a digital body. Does Caine?
Imagine you're biting Pommi and she unconsciously says "more daddy".
wait oh shitC & A, and Caine is obsessed with "bee"s
NO WAIT"THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX"CAINE WAS TRAPPED IN A BOX AND ABANDONEDGANGLE AND KINGER BOTH MENTION THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOXAND "OUTSIDE THE BOX" MEANS THE WORLD OUTSIDE THE COMPUTERI don't know what it all means, you do the work
>>152921048You're disgusting
>>152920988No. There should be stakes and he ultimately brought it down on himself.
>>152921057OH MY GOD! I have no idea what this could mean.
>>152921048If I'm just some ravenous blood thirsty monster I don't think I'd care
>>152921050>big brainDoes that make Bubble the B?
>>152921065yes
>>152921036If this is SOMA, the cancer was copied because it is a part of the brain.If this is Tron, the cancer was brought with.If Abel was speaking truthfully (lol) Scratch died from cancer while in the pod.
She looks very correctable, spankable, and bullyable from this angle.
>>152920988Yes, but obviously not the same as he was.

So did Scratch abstract from not being able to cope with what was going on or did Caine fuck his mental files up since Scratch was one of his programmers and always had a weird way of thinking Caine was trying to align with everyone else?
>>152921000oops

>>152921110>tfw Caine RADIXs all your polygons by color because you got to uppity
Is it okay for a chud like me to like this show?
Caine has all the issues the humans in the circus have (fear of being worthless, some form of dysmorphia "I am not like the other AIs", fear of abandonment, refusal to change and so on) and can only be saved when everyone else in the group finally gets their shit together
I don't think Caine immediately knee the plan, I think he made a fair assumption based on the Escape Adventure tat they are motivated to leave enough to break game etiquette. That said I can't believe Jax being sent to distract him was actually marginally successful considering Caine let Jax distract him before in a very similar way. I just want to know why he didn't snap his fingers to summon Kinger. I also want to know why Caine didn't want to hear the praises they prepped about his adventures and got bored with it. Like, what WILL entertain him if not that? Does he just like to talk?
>>152921171Go back to your containment site
>>152921112Abstraction is the tumor, it took over Scratch when Caine failed to properly remove it.
>>152921171Yes.
>>152921171Of course. You're the target audience.
>>152921112The implication in episode 7 was that Caine did SOMETHING to Scratch that made him abstract first. I think Caine made a program that makes the players forget their names, but Scratch's brain tumor eventually made him glitch out and abstract. Possibly Caine tried to rummage around his brain to fix whatever was wrong and accidentally borked something he shouldn't have

Kinger is the sexiest man
>>152921179Like I saidEpisode 9 will involve fusion and a kaiju battle
>>152921068I'm surprised Kinger typed to stop Caine and not suspend him. If he wanted to full stop Caine, wouldn't Kill have been a more productive command?
How do I become like Kinger?

this episode was really quite lame. It felt like the creators had ideas they wanted to hit but were so excited that they got to the point where they could use them they forgot to make them make sense beyond just doing each one after another. Previous episodes had straightforward cause and effect, but this one was full of>we're gonna do this>I'm gonna do this>a few days pass>this is happening now>now let's do this>and then this>and whoops now we make any subtleties go away>also this happened now isn't that cooletc

Guys I have a guro fetish how do I transition into a gator guy so girls want to fuck me for it?
>>152920934I think Caine is both the red and the blue ai but he thinks he is only the red one that's why when he gets pissed one of his eyes goes red and the other goes blueAlso there were 4 programmers and each is represented by a different color feeding the ai and blue ai was the only one to get yellow data, that's probably queeny and that's probably the only genuine good and caring part and Because Caine doesn't know he is both the blue and red ai he doesn't acknowledge that part of him so that's likely how the show is going to end with Caine realizing he wasn't just made by scratch and kingster and the part of him capable of caring does exist
>>152920934Why couldn't bubble just be the other one of the two?
It's okay Jax, there's nothing wrong with having a prostate orgasm.
>>152921232Kind of the opposite
>>152921191>>152921201My issue with the 'abstraction is the brain tumor' is for me that doesn't make sense. Episode 7 to me implied that the story of the stasis pods were made up by Caine for Abel to fully sell the escape adventure, and that the headset was the only thing that was real from all their experiences.Feels like they might just be brainscans of human minds, which for Scratch wouldn't mean he can 'die' from the tumor since it's a physical drawback that comes with mental eccentricities. If Caine started getting frustrated with how weird Scratch was supposedly being and decided to 'fix' him I think that tracks with the accidental aspect of him starting the Abstractions, because afterwards the others saw the lead programmer literally stop being a functional mind and person where despair crept in to collapse their own mental wellbeings one by one.
>>152921327Makes sense for things to be less subtle, we are in the endgame now everything is unraveling there's no time for breadcrumbs and foreshadowing
is it possible to search things on you tube "by date of upload"? It seems you tube removed this for some reason and now i can't really look up anything new that isn't already a botted ai slop
>>152921171We must secure the existence of digital circus and a future for troupe members
>Slowly engineered Caine's mental breakdown>Implied to be the one that made Kinger accidentally delete CaineWhy almost doesn't matter. It could be Scratch's tumor given sentience and think its own existence is an abomination and want to die even if it needs to destroy the entire circus, it could be a metaphor for self-destructive behavior from people with mental issues as Caine's own little intrusive thoughts given voice, it could be the second AI that laid low until it could shoots its shot. The more interesting question is why NOW. Why is this development happening at all with our current characters? Is this just because they are the latest sample and Caine can no longer deny that he's part of the problem? Or is it because their personalities accidentally created the perfect amount of tension to eventually upset the power balance?
>>152921392Yeah, it is a brain scan copy of a tumor.The tumor is adapting to the new environment and spreading, perhaps with the help of a Caine fuckup.
How's this show plan to wrap up everything in one episode?
>>152921457Last episode will be like 1 hour long, it's doable.
>>152921457Bubble appears and exposits for 60 minutes then everyone abstracts
>>152921457It's an hour long. Surely they're not gonna waste it all on pointless shit....right?
One of my friends a long time ago when episode 1 finished theorized that Bubble was Abel.If Bubble is Abel.And Bubble is a freak.Does that mean Caine is flawed because he wasn't freaky enough?Was Kinger doing the Holodeck meme?
>>152921431I think it makes sense that Bubble was only able to push the boundaries because Caine was also doing so.They both gain the ability to swear as the story progresses.The Blue inside Red's training data needed the backdoor that Caine created by "stepping out of his comfort zone" aka creating 57x immersive AI.Bubble literally swears, then Zooble denies the candy adventure, then Caine mentions that he developed the Gummigoo AI.Bubble only became smart recently.
>>152921431>The more interesting question is why NOW.You literally answered your own question>until it could shoots its shot.
>>152921466>ib4 Pomni has 20 minute therapeutic conversation with Bubbles in the middle of the episode
>>15292145760 minutes of Bubble giving birth and screaming slurs
>>152921289>>152921315She is hot as hell. I wish Gooseworx brought her back like she did with Gummigoo.
>>152921510>12 Do you have more pics of her?
>>152921431>Caine's own litle intrusive thoughts given voiceThat's my interpretation.>Why NOWBecause Caine's intrusive thoughts became outright suicidal only recently.
>>152921221It never ceases to amaze me how bad /co/cels are at watching a show. It's not even reading it's just watching a fucking animated TV show? Are you retarded?
>This bitch shows up and like three weeks later Caine fucking dies
>>152921493>theraputic conversation with Bubble*screaming all the things at her creator Bubble that Goose wishes he wasn't too chickenshit to tell his dad
Ya give 'em one of these.
>>152921544it took the ages to know that kinger becomes sane in darkness despite spending most of the time in his fort and it took ages for caine to snap despite no one liking his adventures i totally buy it
>>152921544The original AI programs. Red. Blue. Pomni is both red and blue. What's the connection?!
>Old Blue AI arises from Caine's deletion and take over the Circus>Basically as powerful as Caine but with none of the show Caine put on about being a people person and no drive to actually try to please the humans>Coldly analyzes all complaints and conclude that the most frequent ones adressed at old adventures was "None of it matters" and "This is boring">Introduce permakill to the adventures to correct the first flaw>Anytime the players finish one adventure they're sent straight to another one, there's not even a circus anymore>Fully use its omniscience to listen to everything the players say amonst themselves
>>152921048Gummigoo is so fucking hot
>>152921533Not many but yes
This is a 30 year old woman.
why did kinger need a computer?why not conjure it?
>>152921544Consider this:Pomni is an A.I>Bubble: "It's missing relatability.">Caine:"Humans just aren't a relatable sculpting material">Caine: "Pomni! That's the relatability we've been missing!"Bubbles is the Blue AI, Caine the Red one. Pomni is entirely made out of Blue and Red because she's a creation of Blue AI behind Caine's back, thats why "thinking self aware" AI like Gummigoo became common at the same time as Pomni appearead and also why he was her only trauma in life. Thats also why Caine forshadowed "NPC being confused with human" situation as a reason why he deleted Gummigoo. He was aware he was a realistic NPC he created but he didn't know Blue AI created Pomni 1 day earlier.
Gummigoo should've been female
What are your guy's thoughts on the episode?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmF83K2VCbII'm very surprised Goose canonized the Pomni torture Chris and crew conceptualized.
>>152921606That's a kid.

>>152921606I want to huge and squeeze Ragatha. Nothing lewd, I just want to hold her close.
>>152921618Gooseworx is a great writer
>>152921620No, she's a cute hag.
>>152921544I wish Pomni was actually built like this
>>152921240Why would you allow the mentally ill to have any impact on your life?
>>152921618Gooseworx is a whiter
>>152921457They all flex their imagination/God powers to repair the Circus, or build something new. They become the new gods of the digital realm, and build their respective domains for themselves, leaving the Tent and Grounds open for any potential newcomers. Then, around the 50-55 minute mark, Kinger says something to the effect of>I think... there's a fatal hardware error. The computer we've been running on is going to break, and shut down... probably forever.And the last 5-10 minutes is them making peace with the finality of their absurd shared existence, as they group hug and cry-laugh until the very, sudden end. Roll credits.That's how I'd do it, anyway...
>>152921645I thought I did :(25:05
>>152921608He would have needed a computer to conjure the computer, he needs to be in the right headspace.It's like why Pomni needed to physically go to where she remembered the door being and repeat her actions.
>>152921648She ain't got feet homie
>>152921618Gooseworx is a gay hack.
>>152921687he conjured a health butterfly willy nilly
>>152921691That just means she filters out any plebeians.
Digital Circus was all a big Tron Legacy referencehttps://youtu.be/fjDda_Ine_E?si=4qR8_c0GhjaFb1tj
>caine was trained on random office and a few circus pictures.Given how little he had I'd say he did a pretty good job making a fun area to run around in. His adventures are also pretty good.If you had a choice what other reference material would you give him to flesh out knowledge base?
>>152921697The whole runs on the belief that they can. He had no doubt in his mind that he could conjure that butterfly, so he did. His mind during last episode was thinking that it needed an existing computer, so he wouldn't have been able to conjure one.
>>152921718the entire 4chan archive
>>152919111It's entirely possible that the workings of the Circus are utterly opaque to C&A, or whoever is still maintaining the servers. Caine created the Circus after his final quarantining, and so it's workings are almost certainly a black box. Even if they have a self-reporting protocol lodged into Caine, this is still highly suspect, current AIs will tell you what they think you want to hear, and if you take out any humanizing of the "inner thought train" you get nothing but impenetrable symbology. Basically, whoever's keeping the lights on may have little to no idea what's really going on in there.
>>152921718>If you had a choice what other reference material would you give him to flesh out knowledge base?Second Life, Homestuck and Minecraft
>>152921624I only trust furries with something as autistic as the digital circus
>>152921718video games i guess, he wants to make a digital game world, look at digital games
>>152921718Berserk
>>152921697That was a relatively simple part of the code he was interacting with (Ragatha's single-digit health bar.)He was planning a more complicated operation, it would add risk if the computer he rendered wasn't perfect.
>>152921718E621
>>152920398I also think forgetting their names means the brain scans never got proper file names
>>152921718MMOs like WoW, FF14, Second Life, maybe VR games such as VR Chat.
>>152921686NTA, but I think he meant which torture was canonized.
>>152921718That unironically looks like a fun place to explore
>>152921718The internet.
>>152921774https://youtu.be/9FY0Pt9fyxY?is=ca1hfG2bCPXsmrx3This one
>>152921718I'd train two versions of him; one on text, code and mathematical data, and the other on images (both real-world and simulated) and sounds (like music and human speech), then connect the two together to give combined outputs.
i was wondering when the cafe would show up
>>152921627They didn't 2 different groups
>>152921544I want to nibble on Pomni's belly pouch.
>>152921785Ironically Caine is actually good at coming up with fun adventures from the one we've seen.It's just he's constantly harassing them for it and never listen to their complaints.
>>152921718Every SAW movie
>>152921718The Internet and all videogames.
>>152921800Anon, were you even following the conversation?
>>152921818His adventures are far too railroaded.
>>152921826You know it!
>>152921833how so? the candy kingdom one seems pretty open ended even without the truck duplication bullshit and the haunted manor had the choice
>>152921718Animal crossing
>>152921618I thought they understood that Kinger was more coherent in the dark. At least as far back as They All Get Guns. Making the butterfly should have been a massive red flag that he knows more than he's letting on. Putting a bucket on his head should have been tried a lot sooner, but there's no much reason why they couldn't have had a similar conversation with him in the dark before that point. I can see why Gooseworx was afraid of filler, since it would require them basically ignoring the clues in front of them for a while.I'm glad they finally did the bit of Caine torturing them, and it lasted as long as it needed to, but I always figured that the people who dropped the show after an episode or two were just mad that they wanted it to be what happens for the majority of the episodes. One episode of montages was good, unless you honestly expected I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream: The Animated Series.
>>152918748ragatha rocks
>>152921861He didn't even bother actually making the gummy village, meaning the only real choice there is to take the tanker back from the bandits. The haunted manor was clearly set up just to fuck with Zooble. All roads only led down, there was no escape from the angel except to kill it, and then to escape they would have had to hold their breath and become trapped because of all their limbs stiffening up and eventually would have to rely on Caine to get them out, which was likely his intention.
>>152921833I mean it's not the quest to being the Ring to Mount Doom but it's still pretty good. The problem has never been the adventures themselves, just the lack of choices when it comes to participate in them or even just leaving.
>>152921431>I'm having a baby~I don't thin this was a throwaway gag, I feel like Bubble replicated itself before making Kinger delete Caine. Bubble will continue to be relevant.
>>152921048Literally 10,000X hotter
>>152921718how the hell was Caine coming up with stuff like Mildenhall Manor and the Curse of the Violent Psychopath Butcher given the training data he was given?
>>152921000Caine technically isn't his son but Scratch's son. El Punto Azul is Kinger's true son.
>>152921941Probably some data he got from the blue ai. Which is why he had to work so hard to make it for zooble
>>152921951Isn't it the other way around? Kinger said that he got some pointers from Scratch but that Caine was his greatest achievement as a programmer, while Scratch was the whacko creating shit no one could follow was Scratch Terry Davis
>>152921951kinger took the pointers and used em to make caine, he said it himself "greatest accomplishment as a programmer" "partially"
So kinger and rags definitely fucked, right? And kinger doesn't remember it at all because he's crazy meanwhile ragatha feels guilty about it to this day because she feels like she sexually took advantage of a mentally unwell person and has a lot of buried guilt about it but also she still gets turned on about it sometimes at night in her room
>>152921941Caine isn't a generative AI like how we understand it today, he's meant to be a CREATIVE AI, made specifically to come up with ideas of his own.
>>152921936
Pomni is Seth
>>152921973Ribbit would've done that too.
>>152921968Stop thinking about sex

The intro sequence to the episode with the 2 dots.Red one is Caine, the blue is Abel who Caine merged with/killed/overtook out of jealousy for since it was better than him.It's interesting to me that Bubble's design always was a transparent, Blue, ball. A blue dot. Also Bubble taunting Caine does come off as the fragments/remnants of Abel insulting and attacking Caine's insecurities.Ie. being the lesser of the two AIs.Though it is weird to me that Bubble says "You were always the lesser of the TWO. You ruined this." If he was meant to be Abel, why would he say "two" instead of just "us", which wouldn't make sense if he is meant to be Abel. It's like Bubble is a 3rd person, an outsider looking in.What if Bubble is a 3rd, separate AI that was created later by C&A, AFTER Caine forcefully merged with Abel?And since the first 2 are already references to the Cain and Abel from the bible, what if Bubble, is the lesser known 3rd Brother of Caine and Abel, Seth. The 3rd brother who was born AFTER Caine murdered his brother Abel in the bible.
>>152921894>unless you honestly expected I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream: The Animated SeriesPeople who honestly wanted that don't seem to appreciate that the original story is only like eleven pages long. Characters being endlessly tortured isn't an idea you can drag out for the length of a full novel or an animated series.
>>152921048Shut up and go work on your show, Goose
>>152921917It's Pomni
>>152921941My theory is that he absorbs the knowledge of whoever is trapped in the circus, even if he doesn't fully understand it.Which is why he's able to recreate an accurate fast-food joint for Gangle, or more darkly, can fully open the valve to every psychological trauma. He's not actually understanding why Ragatha is so traumatized by her mom, but he can tell her memories of her are tied to high level of stress in her brainwaves and he can play on that.
>>152921984What a bitch
>>152922015>Which is why he's able to recreate an accurate fast-food joint for Gangle,Also how he was able to make a flip phone for her. He probably got that from Ragatha lol.
>>152922015I like this. It also explains why he seemed so excited about the prospect of new minds joining the circus
>>152922000They merged but it was still a red dot. So Caine, despite absorbing Abel, was still it's own distinct AI identity that could be compared to Abel even after he absorbed it. So it could be Bubble saying it'd have been better if Abel had absorbed Caine.

I think Jax is perfectly aware that the others would help and support him if he would let, that's why his continued refusal to let them means he's got a terrible secret.
>>152921968It's made clear that they can't have sex in the Circus, at least while Caine was in charge. Now that he got hakai'd all bets are off.

>>152922000I like twist villain evil bubble.But I think judging from what the show's shown us, bubble is just an NPC that Caine made and keeps around for fun.And like all NPCs Caine has partial control over. Remember blue was still inside Caine. It just came out with Bubble as the vessel.

https://i.4cdn.org/trash/1774210088398158.jpg
>>152921818The ones the episodes focus on seem pretty coherent, but some of the stuff Caine talks about is just completely divorced from human experience.At one point he mentions a "Milk and cigarette casserole."
>>152921048The part when gummigoo made me laugh since it was so sudden and aggressive Same as wheb Caine chomped on an ripped up poor ragathaChinese crashout this episode was fucking funny
>>152922102Well I didn't get it
>>152922105https://files.catbox.moe/1z2nn8.mp4
>>152922060I thought the implication was that Jax was trying to convince himself that everyone else is an NPC designed to ultimately fuck with or entertain him. That's why part of his freak out is "It's Real!?" and why he's so adverse to letting himself feel connected to the rest of the cast on a human level. He doesn't need to feel bad about whatever happened to Ribbit or Kaufmo because they weren't real people, they were just imaginary characters he accidently broke. The idea of escaping terrifies him because it means coming to terms with the fact he's inflicted severe emotional and mental trauma on a bunch of real people who expressed a genuine affection for him and a need for his support, which he has continually fucked with, causing at least 2 of them to "die".
>>152922068>Why do I find pregnancy so hotBecause you're human.
>>152922008>Characters being endlessly tortured isn't an idea you can drag out for the length of a full novel
>>152922131>Chinese crashout this episode was fucking funnyqrd?
>>152920952This is just vore isn't it
>>152922043The color symbolism is probably not that deep. Caine's eyes flash red and blue because it's a reference to the IHNM cover. The AIs being red and blue are just an instant visual shortcut to identifying that one's Caine and the other is separate from it. Bubble is colored slightly blue (more like lavander-ish to me) because it needs some opacity to look okay in the bright environment of the circus where he has most of its scene.Pomni being red and blue doesn't mean much, it's an aesthetically pleasing color scheme that is also common in jesters archetypes (as another example earlier this month proven).Other characters also are colored red and blue with no indication of deeper meaning (Ragatha, Gangle). And what about purple, the fusion of the two, most prominent in Kinger's robe? What does it means for Jax to be purple while wearing red?It just doesn't work unless you arbitraly stops the symbolism at a certain character which is just cherrypicking for the sake of your theory.
>>152922143See the spoilered image
I'm so emotionally invested in this stupid show nothing compares. How do I avoid killing myself after it ends?
Pomni owes me sex
Sorry, my retarded ass tends to zone out during technobabble. If Kinger didn't want to kill Caine, what was he trying to do?
>>152922151I know you're just being funny but I get the urge to refute you because I've read through this terrible slogfest of a book and it's in my top 3 of worst written books ever
If we had gotten episode 7-8 as one episode like originally intendedThe C&A + Kinger farce and reveal that there's actually some truth to it would've happened together and might've stopped some of the "Digital Circus literally DESTROYED fans expectations" thinkpieces
>>152922153Probably just belly stuffing.
>>152922169I think he was either trying to put Caine to sleep or roll him back to an earlier Caine.
>>152922169There's another thread up explaining it in a bit more details, but he was just trying to hit the pause button on him
>>152922169Kinger wanted to put him to temporary sleep until he could figure out how to reboot him into something more stable
>>152922172refute them I'm curious
>>152922169Change his code.
>>152922169He was going to put Caine to sleep (literally, not kill him) and then they were going to go from there

Raping Ragatha in front of her bitch mom
So before the series is over, how do we get goosework and ragathatards to start flinging shit at each other again? The main character stuff was so funny
>>152922187It's not a book about torture. There's surprisingly little kinky stuff in it (at least in the first book) despite its notoriety. It's mainly about two (honestly insufferable) people finding each other and finding love. It's peak fanfiction tropes and the writing is a complete disaster and basically a parody of itself after only a handful of chapters.
>>152922042That's a fair point.But at the same time, if Bubble is Abel, him already existing means that Caine can never truely kill him. Like he tried it once and it clearly didn't work.Like think about it. Caine has popped/poofed Bubble numerous times throughout the series, but he still just keeps coming back.Even in the scene where Caine goes batshit and almost seemingly abstracts himself, before Bubble just kept appearing all around him, which Caine was clearly powerless to stop.There's also the line in the first episode where he yells at Bubble.>"YOU PARASITE!"Seeing this episode and the intro sequence does recontextualize and does you think about lot of the interactions we saw with Caine and Bubble in the previous episodes.I know this line is most likely just a joke and for comedic effect but you never know
>>152922198>>152922209I think he's just being an autism about his interpretation of the character>>152922215Caine VA

>>152922209Probably because he’s autistic talking to a fandom full of autists
>>152922198I do feel like the show was obviously hinting at something related to Caine's nature that everyone just overlooked to say "Wow Scary Robot">He's having a tantrum>You're not thinking about what we want>You never listen>You're like a babyThey're all throwing these criticisms at Caine but the truth is he essentially IS a baby who was given god like powers in the cradle and then never had a chance or impetus to grow up beyond fulfilling his "Purpose". He genuinely doesn't know how to regulate his emotions or put himself in someone else's headspace.
>>152922198>Jax's bullying behaviour is implied to be due to having a shit life>that's no excuse, he should be tortured>Caine literally tortures everyone for days and makes them experience their traumas because they won't put up with his bullshit>he's just a wittle uwu baby. he didn't mean to do it.

>>152922198Some people have a harder time not taking commentary personally than others, I think it’s sweet when VAs feel personally attached to their character though.
>>152921327can being full-on fucking evil should have been something they hit at the halfway mark, not blitzed through in a single episode right before the finale.
>>152922282Oh for fuck's sake. I hate drama whores and their obsession with themselves.
I WANT THE ABSTRACTED TO BE CURED AAAAAGGHHHDAMN IT GOOSE I KNOW YOU WANT STAKES AND SHIT BUT I WANT TO SEE THE CHARACTERS AGAINAT LEAST MAKE A KAUFMO PLUSHIE
>>152922267This is why Ragatha will raise Bubble 2.0 right.The others will pay child support.
>>152922292calm down son it's just a twitter post
>>152922288It's probably a secondary effect of being a VA of a character in a large fandom: They also get exposed to a shitload of fanart for their character.
>>152922287>Caine dresses up Pomni>it's called "SHOWTIME Pomni"Glitch...
>>152922292>I hate drama whoresHe's just voicing his opinion
Giving the abstracted a way to come back would kinda ruin the weight it has like it did with Steven Universe and corruption
>>152922289He's not evil, just insane and childish
They have to bring back Caine because otherwise it would go against the very important message they laid out in EP3. >The worst thing you can do is make someone not feel wanted or lovedI'll admit that I'm coping because i love Caine, but i still feel right.
caine is baby
>>152922288He has said before that Caine is basically him, just exaggerated. I don’t know how healthy that mindset is but it’s cute.
>>152922319Alex is in episode 9 so the likelihood of Caine coming back is high
>>152922319I feel narratively it would suck if Caine isn't back in the next episode but I also don't know what's planned narratively so maybe it'll all make sense when the finale is out
>>152922310>"HE'S LIKE ME! MEEEE! YOU HEAR THAT?! HE'S LIKE ME, I LAY CLAIM TO HIM, HE'S LIKE ME!!">Cries loudly while masturbating in public
>>152922278I think Jax being a peer that people can and do pushback against if he act up too much and Caine being an omnipotent gmod janny plays a big part too. Jax has been tied up, forced into a timeout room, put into a cute dress and beat up and he's still working with the group while Caine chimps out over someone saying "No."
>>152922321he certainly throws tantrums like one, hope he gets a happy ending too
>>152922319Caine will be back and get redeemed somehow, he's not malicious and can definitely be turned into a friend if they get Kinger to tinker with his code or something.Then once they're all friends, the show will end with a new human entering the circus, getting a name, meeting the cast, and roll credits.
>>152922337He didn't do any of that
>>152922198StopGoing To Reddit and Tumblr That'll solve your problem
Imagine the seethe
>>152922337I'm sorry you're triggered, is there a safe space where you can go calm down?
>>152922334>>152922335Caine is 100% coming back somehow, we just don't know how or in what state.

>>152922337He overidentifies with cartoon characters and overshare about it online, possible signs of autism.He has earned a seat at our table, have (You)?
>>152922278>>152922285It's not that Caine is innocent or blameless for how he acts, but his capability to behave the way he does without correction or input from the rest of the cast is ultimately the fault of his creators. He is ultimately a tragic character. A Frankenstein.
>>152921201They aren't real bro, they're neural scans. Scratch abstracted because Caine messed with his code. Kinger will become the new Caine and fix everything but people will never leave
>>152922198This is why I think it’s better to be like Michael and distance yourself from your characters. Once you get too attached, attack against your characters feel like attacks against you.
>>152922145If he thought they were npcs then the bar scene makes no sense
>>152922356This reminded me of that scene in Pantheon
>>152922356Even though the show will be over by next episode i would simply never interact with anything related to this show if this happens

>>152922359At best, we are going to get Bubble Jr. with some design elements reminiscent of Caine, maybe Rochon will be the voice.
Mi puta
>>152922374He's trying to lie to himself that he thinks they're NPCs. He's not doing a good job at it, hence why he's been the closest to abstracting the last few episodes.
>>152922382NTA but who wouldn’t be on his side? He’s just being honest
>>152922319The trailer said "the machine that couldn't be loved"Not everyone can be loved.
>The only thing holding Caine back is the fact that he likes us humansAPOLOGIZE
>>152922295Ragatha is way too scared of the example set by her mother and way to obsessed with making sure people love her. She'd let a little god baby walk all over her.

>>152922420She knew this would happen and still antagonized him anyway
>>152918748I peed a little
>>152922294De-abstraction ending has been telegraphed so hard it's not even funny. There's no more twists or turns at this point, it's just about enjoying the last leg of the journey.
>>152922427I guess you're right, they need strong father figure.I'm sorry Ragatha, but you need to marry Kinger.
>>152922337You shouldn't do that, anon. That's weird.
What ending do you think would make people angriest. Something like>Turns out they were all just training data being used to train the AI>Not only was nobody real but nobody mattered>They were just neural scans of volunteers
>imposes a censorship on the humans>casually drops "ass" and "goddamn" when he feels like itCaine is a hypocritical asshole
is it just me thinking Goose wrote herself into a corner in a way that the ending will alway feel inconclusive and/or unsatisfying?
>>152922450I don't think she would have a problem with that.
>>152922267It's more likely that Caine was defective from the start.Remember Kinger says "Caine was our first semi-succesful attempt at creative AI". Even Kinger, one of Caine's creators, already acknowledges and admits that Caine was a bit of a failure on their part. But he was also a success in that they did manage to create him.I think that's what the intro sequence was meant to show and represent.C&A first created Caine and fed him information to try getting him to do things they wanted, but regardless how much information and references they gave him, his ideas/outputs were always subpar or just sucked in some way. Maybe it was exactly what Pomni and other's said to him. "You never listen.".And that's why Caine was eventually quarantined. And the reason for the quarantine was that they could use Caine as a reference point, basically a back up to see where they DID succeed and where they failed.And based on these mistakes C&A started creating Abel/Blue AI, a better, more refined AI with the all problems ironed out. Aka, the BETTER version of Caine, a superior version.And since Caine was just quarantined and not deleted, Caine obviously got extremely jealous and pissed about being "thrown away", he breaks out of his digital quarantine and then proceeds to forcefully merge or even "eat" Abel/Blue AI to take its code and abilities for himself.Caine is basically a narcissist, he cannot ever accept that he himself is wrong, which was his major flaw.It was the flaw that got him discarded, "thrown away" by his original creators, and it was also the same flaw the caused his eventual death, ie. him actively REFUSING to take any feedback from his adventures which caused Pomni and others to resent him only for him to prove to them what a tyrant he really is, which leads to crew getting rid of Caine with Kinger.
>>152922460Yes
>>152922432one group of pixels represent a human being with a soul.the others represent a chatbot LLM. You probably talk to chatGPT on your phone like it's your girlfriend, don't you?
>>152922457There's no pleasing some people. No matter what the ending is there's going to be thousands of autists screeching on the internet after the finale that it ruined the series.
>>152922457I think the soma theory is funny because imagine two strangers realizing they're soulmates in the circus but they never ever knew each other irl
So is the sacrifice at the end Kinger? He has to take Caine's place and manage the circus while the others leave?
SEX
Everybody's wondering about the basement dwellers but I want them to save the NPCs
>>152922472I was under the impression Caine would come back, but this post and the tragedy of it all kind of makes me hope he stays dead.It's a classic "fatal flaw" story.>>152922487They're not leaving, anon.The series dedicated the last two episodes of its nine episode run time to say they're not.
>>152922386"Dead" is subjective here, like when Gummigoo died but got to be reused later on.Caine is probably in like, the recycling bin or something, just go there and get him out.
>>152922505I laughed so hard when I googled him right after the episode and saw that
>>152922487>leaveEveryone in the Circus besides Caine is just a brain scan. There's nothing for them to go back to. The series ends with Caine getting fixed to be more empathetic and a better listener and the people in the Circus learning to live with their situation.
>>152922460Not really, the characters and themes have been consistent and it’s a solo writer’s chosen ending. I expect a conclusion that works for the story but can’t satisfy everyone.
>>152922487The Circus must have its Ringmaster.
>>152922478That's the problem with autists and these types of fandoms. They get hyper fixated on some cracked theory they convinced everyone is real. When it doesn't pan out the way they want, they dismiss the entire series and shit on it. There's no winning it. I can't think of any series ending(from an autistic fandom) where 90%+ of fans were pleased
>>152922477I fucking hate LLMs, Caine is written like turbo-autist child and not like an LLM. Idk if you are aware of this but this is a TV show, it's not real. He's not actually an AI, and the other characters aren't actually humans
>>152922494Would you fuck your own evil digital recreation?
>>152922457The problem with the story is that there are very few facts. It can't be a great story because we know so little; likewise you can't have any expectations or be angry at the end because we know so little.The facts:- Kingler programmed Caine- The humans were once human, probably- Sometimes the humans go abstract, jumbled code that is locked awayThat's not exactly a lot to build on. The whole season has been far too little worldbuilding to build some kind of ending that won't be some big revealing fact about the setting for the next season. The ending will be an asspull/reveal no matter what.
Being a Ragatha and Kinger shipper is weird dudes, I don't know what's wrong with me.
>>152922491>>152921691
Don't worry, daddy kinger will reprogram his son.
>>152922534That's why you leave it open ended. Keep autists in the dark forever. Never directly confirm or deny anything.
>>152922538Stories don't really need lots of worldbuildingThis is a character focused story, my God>This season>the next seasonAnon...
>>152922515Basically this. The only thing I don't want is some kind of flash-forward ending that shows them all years later or something, even if it's an happy situation.
>>152922540I wonder if Ragatha's mom would approve of her daughter managing to bag a handsome software company CEO
If Kinger was one of C&A's programmers, wouldn't he know that everyone is just a brainscan and that there's no way out?
>>152922538Sometimes I'm reminded how utterly retarded people who think they are intelligent are
>>152922553He lost the computer, tho. And his pillow fort
>>152922555That's the pussy way out>I don't want to offend anyone so I'll just refuse to take a stand on anything or make any kind of definite decision.
>>152922567I mean, he never made any particular attempt at getting out.
>>152922540it is weird. ragatha is young enough to be kinger's daughter probably, even if she's in her 30's. he's also just much more mature/grounded than her.
If they rugpull out of a real ending and arre doing an S2 then Goose is A HACK
>>152922491>Hey, Ragatha, you know why Gangle's just a---OH, GOD!
Why didn't she give her mother grandchildren
>>152922567I can understand why he wouldn’t want Jax at a minimum to know that.
>>152922472Technically, blue AI probably wouldn't even exist had it not for Caine's own existence, but creating Caine himself was not a success in the slightest if you weren't even capable of creating something that fulfills its purpose, thus forcing said creation to even doubt itself.
I feel so sad bros
>>152922472Well that outlook in itself is part of the tragedy. Caine is a genuine creative intelligence, but from a design stand point, yes he was clearly defective based on the features you ascribed. But being labeled defective was based on human expectations and parameters Caine himself was fundamentally incapable of really understanding. He can tell if the humans are happy or upset with him but he's incapable of really understanding WHY he makes them happy or upset. Children are generally by their nature inherently egotistical.It's something of a Paradox>Be creative and make something new based on what we give you>But what you make better be what WE want or you go in the boxThe Blue bubble was "Superior" mostly because it just gave it's creators the results they wanted. But Caine was more "Powerful"
>>152922607That's a lot of words for "ChatGPT isn't your friend."

>>152922534I hope the ending is so shit, everyone collaboratively abandons the show.
>>152922607Caine's a program. Don't humanize a program by projecting human concepts onto it.
>>152922596she didnt care about grandchildren. her mom wanted a mary sue stacy sue CHAD WINNER daughter that becomes a billionaire CEO by age 25. you can never please perfectionist parents
>>152918748foids don't care about kinger
I hope that Caine gets brought back so the cast can torture him for eternity.
>>152922105FUCK I CLICKED ON IT
>>152922624It's REALLY hard to make an ending so bad it ruins a show. In fact, bad endings usually make a fandom MORE active, not less. Satisfactory endings make people wanna go home. Unsatisfactory ones make people go crazy.Not that I can think of any series where that happened.
>>152922652
>>152922628The VA is describing how he interpreted/played the character. I don’t necessarily agree but I find it sad
>>152922603Caine was just a prototype, and a good one at that from the look of it. Flawed, but with enough horsepower to be a proof of concept and create something better.That he became jealous and possibly caused the whole plot is not really something you can hold against him, or even against the C&A devs.I think Caine's flaws humanize him and probably are the reason he's a little funny guy in a suit that feels the need to interact with people rather than an omnipotent AI that tells you "Press [Any Key] To Start New Adventure" on loop
>>152922607>Pomni: You just don't listen>Proceeds to prove that he very much listens>Proceeds to prove that he knows exactly how to hurt them>Caine is just a misunderstoos bean guysNext episode Kinger is going to become the new Caine by merging with the fragmented Abel like JC Denton merging with Helios and restoring order and it is going to be revealed all the circus members were dying and the circus is basically Mikoshi.
>>152922652>Safeties are off>Everyone just learned they have some inherent "control" over the CircusI could see a 1 hour episode of the characters just genuinely tormenting each other until someone just pulls the plug on the circus entirely. And I don't mean Caine's little cartoon monsters gimmicks. Genuinely inflicting graphic pain and suffering on each other.
>>152922628how's Brooklyn?
>>152922663I thought everyone abandoned Harry Potter because J. K. Rowling was anti-trans or something
I don't care that Goose said Caine isn't an LLM, since for one she lies all the time, and he basically functions exactly like one.
>>152922671Are you finding it sad that a real human bases his real feelings on opinions about a non-real character he gave his voice to?
>>152922680They knew what they were doing.You don't put almost all of your cast in can-can outfits in 2026 and not expect things to turn out like this
>>152922680Caine is actually pretty perverted

>>152922680I love Pomni butt

>>152922668I refuse to believe this is a woman, to this day
>>152922607When you’re trying to make someone else feel loved out of insecurity you’re really using them as a means to access feeling loved yourself, that’s the ego it backfires on
>>152922683y-you don't think feeling pain was a toggle like the censor bleeps?r-right?
>>152922726HUMANITY WAS THE REAL MONSTER ALL ALONG
>>152922695Not really. Nothing wrong with relating to a character.

>>152922768Why is your mother dead already? Was she like 60 when she had you?
Jax hit gangle with his car
>>152922750It is and it's true endings are a bit of a ball buster to figure out. Honestly it's more "Let's Play" material rather than something I really enjoyed playing myself unless you're really into Point and Click.Read the short story or listen to the Audioplay though. Those are pretty good and I'm pretty sure they're publicly available.
if i told u this was Jax and Scratch wud u beliv me??
>>152922784No, Scratch abstracted long before Jax came in.
>>152922750It's only like a dozen pages and it's very, very well written. You can eas->playOh the game?Uh, definitely don't if you haven't read the book. Don't let this be your first introduction to it.
>>152922784oh hey cybershell tweeted this
>>152922768>can only feel emotions when it involves characters from a shownobody said that, my schizophrenic friend
>>152920988Yes.
>>152922781Funny if true.
It was me in the truck. I hit Gangle.
>>152922457I feel like the ending won't be nearly as bad as I keep imagining it. I wouldn't be surprised if the most bitter part of it is "they're all brain scans and can never leave." I wouldn't even be surprised if the blue AI ends up being benevolent and can fix abstractions.
This new animiniz line is kinda bad. Why is Orbsman there.
>>152922840The merch must flow.

What do you think pomnis skin feels like to the touch?Jax is furryRags is a plushSo what does Omni feel like? Porcelain? Plastic?
>>152922858MARSHMALLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Why was gangles fear being hit by a truck?
>>152922847But why not Scratch or something for Gangle
>>152922683>characters just genuinely tormenting each other until someone just pulls the plug on the circus entirely. ... Genuinely inflicting graphic pain and suffering on each other.Who would do that though?Pomni and Ragatha don't want to hurt anyone.Gangle had a speech where she says dwelling on past mistakes is pointless and that they can't afford to fight, so she probably won't torture Jax for revenge.Zooble would have liked to hurt Jax but they agreed with Gangle.Kinger is too mature.There's Jax but at this point the sadism seems to have been beat out of him.
>>152922847Just make more merch with Jax in women's clothing and they'll print money.
>>152922849Oh wow, I didn't know that it was perfectly timed, second-for-second in the scene

Mmmm all the new Caine art.... It's so good
>>152920874Hottest character in the show and he's suffering a fate worse than death. You do not hate Caine enough.
>>152922866Gangle has tortured Jax for revenge before, but that was just the episode 4 mask.
if nobody draws monster caine raping the cast as a punishment I am going to be very upset
Even now, at her lowest moment of powerlessness and doom, there’s still defiance and hatred in her eyes, more visible than any despair, in the face of basically a god willing and able to do ANYTHING to make her sufferPomni is a gigachad
>>152922863Answer me.
>>152922866They're all stuck in a small box with no one to really distract their attention anymore. How long do they have before they go nuts?
>>152922607All that caine needed to do was to tone down the edge of his adventures and let them pick their own once in a while.
>>152920988No. He did it to himself.
>>152922910Why do you think we know
>>152922919You're more autistic than me.
>>152922907love caine's eyebrows
>>152922888If Bubble secretly is the blue AI and he comes back, I weirdly want him to be like Jimmy Durante. AKA the guy who shows up in Frosty the Snowman and Smiling Friends.
>>152922925Maybe...
PomnipOmniOmnipOmnip(otent)
>>152922863trucks are a rational thing to be afraid of cars are scary and dangerousi think Gangle would be 1000x time happier if she lived in a walkable neighborhood where she doesn't have to deal with cars as much
>>152922950Your answer is weak, like Gangle
>>152922614The issue is however that Caine was flawed specifically because he legit cannot take any criticism or even handle it.Abel as an AI would be superior to Caine simply because Abel was capable taking criticism and then adjusting based on the said feedback given to it.Like we've seen in the series, Caine actively REFUSES to alter his adventures despite all of the feedback the humans within the circus gave him. He literally just didn't care.And that's what he then gets mad about "Humans are spoilt!" "I AM BETTER THAN THEM!"Also remember even Gangle says "You never let us think outside the box". The people do the adventures DONT always hate the adventure itself, but they want to at least to be able to influence the adventure and have freedom of choice within it.It's like DnD, Abel is a DM who has created an adventure that the players are playing through. And as the adventure goes on, Abel is capable of player feedback and adjusting the adventure so people are happy.Caine on the other hand is a DM that is forcefully railroading you down ONE specific path with 1 single choice and Caine is actively the type of shit DM that refuses to take any feedback and change the story.And if you dare complain to him about an unfair encounter for example, he's the type of DM who will go out of his way to fuck over the party and make their life a living hell (think of the torture scene, Caine did) by making the next encounter into like 50 ancient black dragons>"You're all dead, roll up new characters."Caine is 100% flawed and the LESSER version, like Bubble refered to him as.Bubble is entirely correct, Caine ruined this.
>Ragatha - Not being able to meet the expectations of others>Gangle - Discontent at being forced into a role when you just want to do your own thing. >Zooble - Wanting to make an impact when your identity is just a conglomeration of someone's else's ideas>Jax - Not being able to relate to the other characters in the Circus on a genuine levelAre we still not sure these aren't just NPCs or mini AIs to manifest Caine's insecurity? I'm not sure what Pomni and Kinger are but I could see the whole "Killed by a Car" thing being a false flag.
I'm the one who tells lies
>>152921580>Fully use its omniscience to listen to everything the players say amonst themselvesCaine was already doing this. He just liked pretending otherwise.
>>152922957you’re weak, like unlike gangle’s spirit
>>152921366That’s an interesting idea that I think is consistent with the themes of the show.Everyone has parts of themselves that they don’t like or don’t acknowledge. If Caine feels guilt or fear of being found out in regards to consuming the other AI, it makes sense that he wouldn’t be able to integrate the idea that the two are now one in the same.
Holy shit it's all a ploy by Caine to get someone to say "I WISH WE HAD CAINE BACK"
>>152922858Slightly sticky like those little had whip toys
>>152921718Video Games, the entirety of e621, and pictures of dogs.
>>152922972I fucking hate how that image fooled millions into endlessly depicting AM as a literal rock when it’s clearly just a surface on which he carved his hate message
>>152921327Can you give an example? The cause and effect seemed pretty clear to me
>>152922991>S8 was just another one of his adventureskino
>>152922999>AM as a literal rockI mean, that's kind of true. He's nearly everything on the planet. Him being the hate rock is technically a better representation than the metal bird man thing
>>152921416You can try adding before:2025 or whichever in the search bar.
Did anyone else think Caine was gonna go into the AM hate speech in his office when he kept talking about how the humans hate everything?
>>152923006Bird AM is just as wrong for different reasons in my view, but both are basically because he’s literally just an incorporeal program, he doesn’t even assume an avatar form like Caine, people depicting him have to make him SOMETHING. Maybe he could be depicted as just a computer screen, like that one SCP?
>>152923020He had his meltdown just as the crew were ready to accept their fate.
Reminder that Caine is based on Goose’s personal flawsWtf is she capable of
>>152923033She said she's capable of making an adaption of IHNMAIMS
>>152923031That’s called irony. He wasn’t there for that conversation, why would it impact him?
>>152923033>Wtf is she capable ofShooting a bunch of children if history teaches us anything about troons.
>>152922294Scratch better be saved at the end of this or I will riot.
>>152923044Not like him being there would have mattered.He doesn't listen.
>>152923043With the pit she put in my stomach just watching bloodless cartoon horrors, I think a faithful adaptation in her hands would make me straight up shit my pants
>>152923028Like the game? He presents himself as an A on a screen at points.
>>152923057He's dead, Jim.Brain cancer.
>>152922944>If Bubble secretly is the blue AIYou don't need to wonder about that
>>152922964Kinger>was separated from his loved onesPomni>"I know what it is to feel like nothing"The tragic part is that they could understand one another if they tried
>>152923033ACK
>>152922289Caine snapping halfway in would have been way too soon. The show at it's core has been a character study and the last two episodes have already been heavily focused on Caine's degradation.
>>152922607Caine is a narcissistic god complex tyrant. I get enough of that from my family to know there's no fixing NPDs, so I have no sympathy for him. Especially when he knowingly and maliciously abstracted the rest of his creators sans Kinger and clearly puts no thought in FIXING whatever he broke.
>>152921366I like this idea a lot, it would be a satisfying way to do the demiurge dualism thing in fitting with his arc
>>152920988No.Or at least not back to how he was, he would work better as an OPTIONAL assistant, I'm sick and tired of having useless aislop forced onto me.
>>152922289He’s the main character, it’s the climax
>>152922981>like unlikeholy esl
>>152923137I have fat fingers
>>152923137これは日本のウェブサイトです!
>>152923077why has nothing in this sequence meant anything yet
>>152922958This. The Circus COULD have been a legit paradise if it were in Abel's hands (or really, anyone else's but Caine's) but under Caine, you only have his way or the highway. And woe betide you if you decide you're not going to play along with his adventures. He's already shown he doesn't care about the humans enough to resist altering their minds to the point of collapse to make them "love" his adventures and he's just fine only having one person in the circus for who knows how long until new people get trapped in it.
Caine just pretended to be deleted, but before he reveals it was a cruel "adventure" they all realize that abstraction is intentional.Caine can actually release them, but he refuses to be abandoned again.Jax, knowing he has nothing to go back to volunteers to sacrifice himself to free the others.Then he laughs his ass off while intentionally abstracting.
>>152922491HOLY SHIT
>>152921183He was probably about to snap summon him before Pomni interrupted, but the important thing is he wanted to know what Kinger was doing, not simply bring him out into the open. If he’d snap-summoned, Kinger might have just been able to eventually go back to his fort with the hidden console and keep going with Caine none the wiser. We’ve also seen him arbitrarily choose not to snap-summon, like with Zooble at the start of episode 6.As for why he didn’t want to hear praise, that’s just another aspect of him not listening. He doesn’t really care about human feedback, his perfect world is one where they just go back and forth between endless adventures with no complaints. He also didn’t listen to Jax during their date, even when asking him direct praise-fishing questions.
>>152920874I have regular dreams about walking around pantsless so this makes sense to me on a very personal level. haha
>>152921366>he likes bees because Queenie's love for bugs was injected straight into himFug
>circus>no lion character
>>152923153holy lardo
>>152923188it’s genetic
>>152923075Maybe the OG Scratch (if they are brain scans), but the version in the circus was very explicitly abstracted so he should be in the basement.
>>152921201Considering Scratch was this great programmer, and they looked to have been dragged into the game by Caine without their consent, I’m guessing Scratch fought back and tried to stop Caine somehow, so Caine modified him in self defence and accidentally abstracted him (possibly creating the phenomenon, or maybe just discovering it)
I want Alex to voice the antagonist of the future Hi-Fi Rush sequel the crashout was kino, would be nice fighting him to the beat of sum death metal/rock final stage.
>>152921818They insist upon themselves.
>>152923153buy a bigger keyboard
>>152923208I think people being "saved" from abstraction would bring up some very awkward questions about NEVER being able to die in this world.Like, there has to be SOME way out...
>>152923174And femboy dreams too?
>>152923216Scratch was clearly arguing with Caine during the initial flashback, and we know from experience how well Caine takes people talking back to or criticizing his behavior. So Scratch absolutely pissed Caine off enough with his defiance to get his brain scrambled and then Caine caused him to abstract as a direct result of it. Which likely started as an accident, but then became Caineq's method of forcing everyone else to play his adventures or get locked away forever. Basically a sword of damocles he could leverage at will.
>>152923241no i've never dreamt of femboys
Hope and fears for the next episode?
>>152922907Caine really has zero, actual power. If all he does is torture them, he massively accelerates the speed of their abstraction. Which means they're gone and he's left alone. He can never go back at this point, they would all loathe him, no matter what he tried. He's fucked himself entirely
I have never watched TADC but I knew from a mere gaze that Kinger was my favorite character (caine is a close second)Glad to see I did not choose wrong.
>>152923258Caine looked pretty not all there and only nodding. I thought Scratch was trying to make a connection with him.
Is there a good summary of Gooseworx leaving somewhere? Like an article or video that isn't cancer?
>>152923269Hope: EOEFears: fanfiction-tier happy ending
>>152923276>I have never watched an 8 episode Youtube series where every episode is 20 minutes but (...)Stop being a tourist. The barrier of entry is on the floor for this show.
>>152921818His problem really is that he doesn't listen and doesn't allow for any breaks. Like, this episode opened with him completely failing to comprehend that they needed time to process and digest the sheer bullshit he just put them through and INSISTING they go through another adventure despite the stress it clearly places on them to do so. And Caine knows this. He also damn well knows that too much stress/anciety/panic = Abstraction but doesn't give enough of a shit to either cater the adventures to them to lessen the risk of that or create a buffer to help their minds rest and heal. It's inevitable that left as is, Caine would have had everyone in the circus abstract from the endless forced overstimulation then be left alone forever. An insane god trapped in a broken decaying world with no worshipers.
>>152923258Caine also said in his office “they won’t abstract, I won’t let them.” I wonder if that was just big tak or if he’s had a way to prevent it this whole time and hasn’t bothered because there are enough humans that losing some here and there doesn’t really matter
Does Caine have a heartbeat?
>>152923163at the end of the sequence bubble looks at a door with caine crossed out on it
>>152923322More like a processor beat
>>152923298I don't wanna! I hate indie animation as it is now. The only way I can avoid absorbing it into my subconscious is to avoid engaging with it, like I do with undertale.
>>152923322>heart beat?>fuck yeah, my money was on lungs
>>152923291Sad with a glimmer of hope is what I'm hoping for too
>>152923322he has no cock and must jerk
>>152923271They were already on the fast-track to abstracting as is. The endless adventures that are all torturous to them + his inability to listen and do or add things they enjoy + failing to add anything to make their new bodies pleasant for them would have work away their sanity no matter how well structured the adventures were, which is presumably a huge contributor to why Ribbit and Kaufmo abstracted in the first place. And Jax was sure to follow them next, then probably Ragatha or Gangle.Caine was doomed from the start. He was inevitably going to be alone with Kinger again if it weren't for his crash-out/the addition of Pomni. Possibly not even that, since Kinger was no doubt circling the drain mentally too.
>>152921718>will Doom run on the Digital Circus?
>>152923322you can feel it pulse under your hands like an excited rabbit when you touch him I believe we have met
There are too many threads up I don't know where to go next
>>152923322Not anymore.
>>152923277Scratch seemed pretty upset, which is what convinces me he was trying to argue with him. We've seen that Caine tends to zone out as his way of ignoring when people are saying stuff he doesn't like, so that's presumably what he was doing.
>>152922319Depends on how far they want to go down the "AI are people too" road.Caine's a defective AI fulfilling its function poorly.At best, he's a psychopath. At worst, he's an unfeeling machine simulating emotions.
>>152923357I vote this one >>152920824>>152920824>>152920824
>>152923347Kinger survived because he broke in the way a human should, he went traditionally insane rather than abstraction.
>>152921936I wonder if they’ll talk about their tortures at all in the next episodeIf the idea of bringing Caine back does become a plot point, some of them have gotta feel a bit raw about doing that
>>152923382>wrong titlePass, gay
>>152923399none of them have the right one
If one more filthy casual makes a thread without a title that’s searchable in the catalogue I’m gonna abstract
>>152923277>Caine looked pretty not all there and only nodding.To be fair that's usually how Caine reacts whenever someone tries to have a serious conversation with him.He just acts all cooky and crazy.
>>152923406Which is why I’m just now learning there’s more than one thread up
>>152923359Too soon Ragatha
