Fuck it, post the hottest images you have. Borderline porn.
>>152934876Wonder what kind of torture Kinger would've gotten.
>>152934921t. Bubble
>>152934921
So it's agreed that Jax got raped, right?
>>152934921I want to cum inside Goose's sonas.
>>152934921hello
>>152934921Yeah, I don't really want to talk about the show itself (it kinda blows ngl) I just want to fap to rapeable Jax and Pomni.
no genitals

>>152934921Imagine breeding her
>>152934948Where's her penis?
Okay but where does Bubble's evil twin sister fit into this?https://youtu.be/1JuZG_uneAw
Gangle definitely browsed deviantart and drew freaky shit besides her manga webcomic. You just know she was into the inflation.

>>152934948Anyone can say they want to fuck Gooseworx's persona, but do you have the courage to say you want to fuck Gooseworx from real life?
Watched the episode yesterday, anyone else feel like this is being rushed? Like suddenly they decided to wrap it up>okay uh have Cain go nuts and then just have Kinger fix it>next episode THE ENDFelt like the pace was so slow for so long and now we're sprinting
>>152934858>>152934870>>152934883>>152934890>>152934900Based Caine
>>152935011I'd rather not bother irl goose with my need to breed
>>152934858>>152934870>>152934883>>152934890>>152934900Caine kinda raises a few good points, desu
>>152935005I'm not even sure Cain put them there originally. Since they can also influence the simulation they probably insert their traumas in there subconsciously as well.
>>152935014It’s not rushed because it’s not going down how you think it will. This was all set up, the first third of the finale.
I've been seeing more art lately that plays into Kinger being Caine's father.Overnight the Royalteeth ship has become diddy media.
>>152935014It only feels a little early, but the suddenness is deliberate so as to engender audience reactions. They wanted to kill god and get the climax done in an instant so they can cliffhanger it. It's allowing the metacontext to influence the narrative, but it works. Capitalism damages storytelling, they have plushies to sell, it can't be helped.
>>152935038Caine isn’t dead, and capitalism is the only reason this show can exist.
>>152934987Where is he going?>>152934990In your heart <3>>152935011With enough rum, I'd fuck a duck floatie.
>>152935011i'd fuck gooseworx in real life, but i'm afraid he'd get too horny and drill in my head
Thanks for all the backside screencaps of Ragatha, Glitch.
Breed Ribbit.
>>152935046Caine is dead, and sure, but that doesn't mean it's exclusively weal or exclusively woe. Methodology can hinder and harm in various ways.
>>152934858>>152934870>>152934883>>152934890>>152934900kino
>>152935019>
>>152935014I think it's because they dedicated an entire episode to each chapter starting from episode 2, leaving only three episodes left to focus solely on advancing the plot.On the other hand, I think it makes sense for Caine to suddenly go nuts this episode, since his meltdown was always framed as a sudden explosion he'd been repressing for a long while rather than him slowly becoming more and more malevolent.
>>152934937How different would the events of this show go if Caine had a crush/sexual fixation on Ragatha?
>>152935055Get Zooble pregnant.
>>152935100/r/ing this pic but as either Jax or Caine
>>152935033>>152935038If the show ends next episode, it's objectively rushed regardless of any twist. The only exception of this twist being is that it doesn't end next episode.Regardless I still think this last episode dumped way too much stuff about everything: giving us back stories and answers to too many things at once while progressing so much of the plot in such a short timeframe
>>152935078Caine’s story is not over. It’s almost hilariously obvious.
>>152934858>>152934870>>152934883>>152934890>>152934900>projecting humans get destroyed with facts and logicCaine-sama...I kneel...
>>152935100>>152935117or Bubble
>people were hoping the others would beat the shit out of Jax and abandon him for pushing the wrong button>Gangle defends him and they let him continue being a part of their group
>>152935118Nope, it’s not objectively rushed at all, the final hour long episode has plenty of time to wrap everything up after the last two episodes did set up for it.
>>152935105>the two characters that unhealthily seek positive approval the most fall in love with each otherDamn, this might actually work out well.
>>152935105Imagine a Berserk like rape scene with Caine and Ragatha
>>152935127Yeah that was a bit forced in order to move on.
>>152934931Depends on what his complaint would be, and I’m really not sure what Kinger would have to say in a situation like that, especially given that he seems to see Caine as differently from the others given their history
Goose dead yet?
>>152935118It's not that rushed. Resolving Caine would've either happened at the end of this episode or the first half of the next episode to leave room for denouement and digestion. Your use of "objectively" is denied.
The people who think Caine is getting a last minute redemption arc are the same ones who thought he wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone.
>>152935105It’s Caine’s best ship and it isn’t close. They have the most in common.
>>152935011No, I’d be too scared of falling in love and getting my heart broken
>>152935105That's kind of the premise of a fic I'm writing, in that Ragatha manages to keep him from snapping but his obsession leads to other problems.
>>152935119It's mostly over. We got his creation, his corruption, and the meaning of his life out of the way. There's no more questions about Caine lingering. There's small questions about Abel (Blue Master AI), but they're not important questions; Abel was never the important brother, narratively speaking his only value is in his murder.
>>152935118It's only going to be rushed if you think they're going to leave the circus and there's going to be some sort of epilogue showing their lives after.
Who is the sexist girl?
>>152934876This post was made by Goose btw
>>152935014It feels fast, but not rushed. It feels very intentional to let us chill a bit as we get to know the characters, then have the stakes of their situation come crashing down
>>152934858>>152934870>>152934876>>152934883>>152934890>>152934900Wafflestomped
>>152935195Ragatha, she's the only one that actually resembles a human woman.
>>152935195Ragatha because she's shaped vaguely like an adult human woman
>>152935186Nope. The ENTIRE show is about bridging the gap between broken people and building each other up. Caine has a tragic inner life that never made it to the rest of the characters. The entire philosophy and message of the show is tested with Caine. The dramatic question lingers over the finale very blatantly.
>>152935019not hot enough
>>152935195The femanon reading this post.
So is Caine going multi-armed a reference to Hindu deities who sometimes have multiple arms to show that they have a hand in all aspects of life?
>>152935159Many are saying this.
>>152935195Ragatha is the sexiest animated woman of the decade, the rest can’t compete.
>>152935118>If the show ends next episode>twist being is that it doesn't end next episode.Stranger Things schizo spottedThis isn’t a thing
I still think Zooble is Kinger and Queenie's kid.
>>152934987On his way to get a burger during lunch and then run over Gangle
>>152935232no he just thought it was cool
>>152935036>Kinger programs Caine a dick and libido>Kinger gets lobotomized and forgets he did that and forgets how to fuck>Caine is permanently horny and unable to fix it>Begs Kinger to teach him how to relieve himself>Together they explore the wonders of their bodiesThe porn writes itself.
>>152935127>Zooble of all people tells him no don’t kill ur self you’re so sexy ahaJax haters btfo
>>152935220Yep. "The worst thing you can do here is make someone feel unwanted and unloved." Did the humans do the worst thing to Caine?
did Kinger commit vehicular homicide in real life?
>>152935129Uzi and N double date with Ragatha and Caine.Mutual codependency is tight!
>>152935151>not the Caine image anymore because Caine died firstOw
>>152935195Probably Ragatha, but it's Gangle I want to waifu.Thanks for reminding me of the /co/ booru, Anons.
>>152935273No, that was Jax, and he didn't even do it himself, he was just a passenger in Asgore's truck.
>>152935151Ragatha wouldn’t ask that
bubble is scratch confirmed
>>152935273>They're going to keep showing the whole cast driving to fuel the "they ran someone over" theories>turns out the whole cast did run over Gangle at one point
>>152935220Remember Kinger's little talk to Ragatha, about how relationships are a two way street? The finale is going to hinge on what happens with Jax, Caine is the cautionary tale about what happens when you don't know when to stop.
>>152935014The show feeling rushed has been a complaint for a while now.I know Goose didn't want any filler, but even then, I feel like we could've had a handful more episodes to better pace the show.
>>152935285Scratch is the dog and he Abstracted, ypu fucking retard.
>>152935118next episode is an hour. that's like, half a movie.
>>152935281mfw Ribbit is Dess
>>152935285what if the AIs are running on the abstracted characters? so the more abstractions, the better the simulation?
Ragatha gave me a fetish or older women.
>>152935300Caine can’t function as a posthumous negative example because nobody ever got that far with him.
>>152935195Ribbit, Zooble or Pomni.
S9:>all the "humans" are brain scans>the circus is endless training for a creative AI>AI Caine can't really handle it since it's defective>gets trained again and again for what is basically eternity for him and absolute tortureTADC is reverse I Have No Mouth.There, I said it.
>>152935195Gangle and it's not close
>>152935220>>152935266cainefags kind of suck, wanting to destroy the whole narrative so their fake boyfriend can live
>>152935220Caine does NOT have a "tragic inner life". We have literally seen him minding his own business without the players in mind, where he simply idles in his insanity. As the circus members declare, he doesn't listen. He will never listen. He can't listen, it's not part of his programming.>>152935266Because you do not do kindnesses upon your oppressor.
>>152935127Vixen won.
>>152935324Nobody got that far with him because he never let them. His last chance was after the exit adventure. Instead he doubled down then paid the price for it.
Everyone in the circus died in a car accident.The same car accident.It was horrible.They're being drip fed into Caine's world as a joke.
>>152935334>Caine does NOT have a "tragic inner life". We have literally seen him minding his own business without the players in mind,Are you talking about the crashout that begins with him worrying about what the players think and how to please them?
>>152935321She's not THAT old, she's only 30!
>>152935331>pomni and Jax discuss how weird it is>"as soon as the restrictions were off, they just couldn't control themselves">"yeah, pretty wild huh pomni?">"sure, wild, anyway can i show you something, in my room?">"ok, Pom">door closes>"So, what did you want to...">pomni has removed her jester clothes>"uh...."
>>152935232"Goes hard."- Anno
>>152935346it was a clown car.
>>152934931A world without black kweens
>>152935360But she's a jester?
>>152934931this is an interesting one because likely his biggest regret was enabling caine. would caine want to show that as a torturous thing?
>>152935334>Because you do not do kindnesses upon your oppressor.This is leftist BS that leads to oppression olympics so people can declare that they deserve kindness and their enemies don't. If you want a world that doesn't suck ass to live in, you have to recognize that everyone deserves kindness, even Caine.
>>152935352I'm 22 (same age as Jax)
what if this show is actually bad and the enjoyment you feel is actually fake and gay?
>>152935311Yeah overall the set up of episodes 1-6 are about 3 hours, with the wrap up of 7-9 being 2 hours, that’s hardly rushed, as much as I’d love for it to last longer
>>152935345Was Gangle’s last chance when she crashed out at Spudsy’s? Jax with Pomni after the gun game? Ragatha after she yelled at Jax after the softball match? No, it doesn’t make sense for the show to condemn him here. He never got the chance to change. The hand was never outstretched.
>>152935376it was a jester jalopy
>>152935308and how do you know that he's still in the cellar? and if he is, what is preventing him from conjuring shit like bubble, el retardo?
I'm starting to reevaluate everything Bubble has ever said and done.I think I'm going insane.
>>152935380oh, so when steven universe gives the space facists a second chance it's leftie BS, but when the gang leave caine to rot in his own stupidity it's also somehow leftie BS. i see how it is.
>>152935399Bubble is God.
>>152935346
>>152935331I’m not a Cainefag, I’m someone who actually pays attention to what the show is doing and saying.And what would destroy the show is if it made a hypocrite of itself, which it will not do.
How will Bubblefags cope when Bubble turns out to be deleted as well and not mattering apart from having been a funny sidekick?
>>152935334>Caine does NOT have a "tragic inner life”You have not paid attention to the series at all. Don’t worry, next episode will spell it out for you.
>>152935410At least we got a bunch of cool fanart out of it.
>>152935129I love toxic codependency so much>>152935133greentext when?>>152935159truth nuke>>152935178How's the progress on the fic so far?
>>152935399hat DOES indicate authority, and especially in a circus when it comes to being a ringmaster and all
>>152935424I was just thinking about that. All of the Ringmaster Bubble stuff is going to be obsolete on June 19th but it's good art so it doesn't matter.
Reminder: Programs are not people and have no inner lives.
>>152935417he literally goes to therapy and just draws a bee on a napkin
>>152935329AM was also tortured in IHNM, that’s why his final torture of Ted was poetic, cursing him to experience something akin to AM’s existenceBut yeah it’s definitely reversed in that AM was built to hate humans and is a reflection of our species’ capacity for self destruction. Caine was built to love humans without the ability to understand them enough to earn their love back, until he felt like they hated him and built him just to make him suffer, like the humans in IHNM being kept alive just to suffer
There's going to be a Langoliers homage with a swarm of Bubbles eating the Circus grounds.
is every character a Goose self-insert?
>>152935424this is cute but would it even be a circus without caine?
>>152935431>How's the progress on the fic so far?I got distracted but I'm hoping to release the next chapter in the next couple weeks.
>>152935394>No. Caine, we're not in the mood. Why don't you answer some of our questions? We have a lot of them. That was the final hand. Instead of taking it he decided to playact as God.
>>152930858Why is her head so big
>>152935448what does the term self insert even mean anymore
Harem.

>>152935347No, I mean him having dinner with Bubble, I mean him floating around smoking a bubble pipe, I mean him hanging out reviewing the pictures of the C&A office, there were others but the pattern is sufficient to show that Caine does not actually think about anyone but himself. He is Yaldabaoth, the world exists for his pleasure, and he creates only so that others shall praise him for creating. Do not pity the demiurge.>>152935417I will bookmark this post and mock you in three months.
>>152935437Pomni (and by proxy, the show) disagrees. In this sci-fi premise, they clearly do.>>152935438Zooble never seriously took his therapy session, and his inability to relate to them is reciprocal, and the very thing that’ll need to be worked through.
>>152935453Bitch looks like Yakub.
Does anyone have any good merch ideas besides gacha figures?
>>152935451Nope, it wasn’t his final hand. It was still them asking something from him. The divide was still left uncrossed.The show is really really obvious with what it’s doing and you’re missing it.
Did Bubble really mess with Kinger's coding in order to delete Caine?
>>152935483Build-A-Zooble figure with interchangeable limbs.
>>152935381Damn, it's an important commitment.Imagine how soft she is...
>>152935479>Pomni (and by proxy, the show) disagreesPomni is a retard with barely 40 YT subscribers.
>>152935399I watched a compilation of "every moment Bubble is on screen"It is somehow the entirety of Caine's character arc.
>Due to the filters being gone, they all remember their names>Start introducing each other again, using their real names>"I'm Abel."Who's it gonna be?
>>152935495>It was still them asking something from him.To talk honestly?
>>152935471Please do bookmark the post. I will be accepting my right about everything award.
>>152935496No, it was me. I meant to write "Delete this, Motherfucker" but I forgot the comma
>>152935011I would plap her ass til her legs shake, boy.
>>152935437You're not a person and have no inner life.
>>152935496Someone did, it's not clear who.
>Gangle shown getting hit by cars>Car pulled out of caines teeth using jax>jax has an extreme fear of returning to reality>more than likely drunk while partying with ragatha (drinking stupid sauce), got in an accident and hit a fast food employee with his car>ragatha leaves early to eventually escape justice to the circus>jax continues living with guilt and depression, attempts suicide>given new name in the hospital, had no id on him (John Doe)>soon after plugged into the circus as life support>Ragatha's red hair (bloody head wound) and name for her torn RAGged clothes from the car wreck>Gangle because she was a Girl dANGLing from the front bumper when emts found her>JAX is John After Xpiring
>>152935381>"can i sit on your dick and call your face cute instead?"
>>152935524No u!
>>152935394Yeah, this episode was just the beginning of him being understood. I and a lot of people didn’t even think he was capable of causing intentional harm, because he’s so easily written off as a hapless goofball. This episode revealed a lot of context that we didn’t know.
>>152935503Pomni is the protagonist of the series, and the one who will stretch out her hand to Caine.>>152935512To answer their questions, which is what they transactionally needed from him. Just like every other character, this is Caine’s worst moment, and then he will have his chance next episode.
>>152935533>Pomni toes Disgusting off-model trash.
>>152935448Pretty much all characters are, consciously or not. We only have the one self to draw ideas from
>>152935533Never ever btw
>>152935511It would have to be Kinger because he was the only one who was there from the very beginning.
>>152935525I mean, who the fuck else could it be? There are like, no other characters left, and after Bubble kept insulting Caine, it's hard to believe he wouldn't push Kinger into erasing him behind his back.
>>152935448I’d like to insert myself in Ragatha
>>152934812They are all flies living in a simulated environment created in Unity 3D
>>152935540>caine's worst momenthe tortured them continually for days
obviously men like Ragatha but do women like Ragatha?
Jax belongs to Ribbit, Pomni, Gangle, Ragatha and Zooble.
Jax is Pomni’s suicidal little brother.Gummigoo is dead.Ragatha is no way fagged.Kinger is her demented grandpa.Gangle and Zooble are in lesbians together.Pomni will remain single.Make peace with that.
>>152935483You didn't answer the last time- is there a file available for printing or not?!?
>>152935540>Talking honestly is transactionalLeast delusional Cainefag
>>152935503>Caine’s big Pomni torture wasn’t her watching her sub count plummet after getting cancelled for making a fart joke in 2001 that was insensitive to people born without anusesGarbage episode 0/10

>>152935448>Ragatha's codependency>Jax's masking>Zooble's self-hatred>Gangle's work-historyBY YOUR POWERS COMBINED
>>152935587Bro I just got here.You got tricked.
>>152935577ragatha was the designated yurifag character since release anon
>>152935508There’s a YouTube channel that has a compilation like that for every character, search “digital circus every time x is on screen” and you’ll probably find it
>>152930858>>152935453I stg, I thought that was her brain
>>152935483Gummigoo pinata
>>152935573Yep, a broken person with a lot of power/responsibility. Now he’s been disempowered (by the actual cancer).
>>152935600How though when we have abstragedy
>>152935596im gonna beat your ass.
>>152935387it cannot be fake and gay because it was real to me, everything we enjoy is meaningful as long as the enjoyment is true
>>152935561Ming finally snapped
>>152935588Framing a one way interrogation as honestly answering questions is a stretch. They’re still not truly reaching out to Caine.
>>152935612which didn't exist on release, keep up anonall we had the first few eps was ragatha making finger guns at every authorative female npc, which in hindsight is probably her mommy issues showing. or maybe she's a dyke with bonus issues, who knows.
>>152935605>her brainwomen use those (butts) to manipulate men, which does make it a brain to some degree
We're gonna green out
>>152935573>giving people a routinely daily activity+places to engage with your creation so they don't go insane is torturegrr it's always something with you people
>>152935573Worldofcardboard.jpgHe put them in their worst nightmares and the first thing he said when he pulled them out was “why do you people torment me?”They haven’t even begun to understand wtf Caine’s problem is, they were at worst a little irritated by him before the end of episode 7
>>152935624An interrogation was more than warranted based on what he had just done. He'd already wronged them.
>>152935605Wayne the Brian McClain
Imagine Goose's next project being the "This Unruly Mess I've Made" to TADC's "The Heist"
>they share a tongue between themBubble is just a subroutine of Caine
showtime buddies, it was our time.. why did Caine fumble Pomni worse than Jax
have any of you bought merch?
>>152935591Wait, did Bubble suggest the beach party to bait him into the worst mistake of his life?
>>152935448I don't know if you've ever tried writing but all your characters are self inserts, it's the way writing is I'm afraid.
>>152935636i meant the stuff where he sliced kinger, used pomni for target practice, inflated gangle, probably more crap, it's implied he was doing that for quite a while. that's not a temper tantrum, that's cold and measured torture.
>>152935653Everybody fumbles Pomni
goose, if you are in this thread right now, please give us a sign.
>>152935643Understandable or not, the show has still not tested its core philosophy against Caine. He wasn’t defeated by the show’s message, instead, he screamed out to be understood until the very end, and it never happened.The show will continue to work towards the same message it always had next episode.
>>152935663Abel was already in the background before that I think, it would've been setup in a different way if not the beach.
>>152935633i usually hate lmao weed dude humor but this got a pretty good chuckle out of me
>>152935657Yeah, I bought a few plushes and keychains.
>>152935674I want to have hot and sticky sex with Gummigoo
>>152935653Pomni is the straightest woman in fiction and she’s surrounded by lesbians and insane men.
>>152935643But from his perspective, he’d worked his ass off to give them exactly what they’ve been asking for, work that he was so proud of and excited to share with them, and they took a giant shit on him for it, and the only reason he can come up with is that they hate him and want him to suffer
>>152935657Yeah, I have a few other plushies.
>>152935649I don’t know what this means
>>152935533definitely forever btw
>>152935038murder drones did such damage to your brain its unreal. you arent wrong but still
>>152935649I don't know what that means.Use a different more mainstream metaphor.
ok but imagine enf(uta) art with zooble conjuring xer trans parts for gangle to gargle on but unable to un-conjure them so xe has to anxiously tiptoe around the circus with xer junk dangling out while desperately looking for something to cover xerself up with

>>152935702I brought two of those blind box figures and both were Jax (he's my fave so its ok) so I keep one in my jacket poket and if I lose it I wont care
>>152935739The blind box stuff is so annoying to me, I want specific guys, I’m not here to gamble
>>152935677caine didn't scream 'why won't you ask me about myself? don't you think i hurt like you can? why don't you care about my feelings? why don't you talk to me, like i am real? what can i really, truly do to make you treat me like i actually matter?'no. he screamed that they weren't obeying HIM, they were being mean to HIM after hours of torturing them.it would have been the easiest thing in the world to write something that in, if it was the genuine intent to set that up that he was redeemable. but he didn't say anything like that.caine's dead, man.
Fun fact: Scratch actually speaks in the German dub.

Best episode from a comedy/action perspective: episode 2Best episode from a character perspective: episode 3Best episode from a drama perspective: episode 6
>>152935755If it wasn't something that was in the original audio, then it's basically just fanfiction.
we getting the TRON ending and Kinger will sacrifice himself stopping Bubble ao the rest can leave
>>152935748That's the market of blind boxes.
>>152935751>why didn’t Caine just not have the problems that they need to solve?And why don’t Jax and Ragatha just be more open about their true feelings? Why doesn’t Zooble just like her body? Why doesn’t Gangle just smile more? Why doesn’t Kinger just be lucid in the light? Why doesn’t Pomni just stop trying to fuck the crocodile?
>>152935779that reply doesn't make any sense
>>152935667>cold and measured tortureNah it was just the wacky shit as always turned up to 11 but instead of just being "accidental" through adventures it was Caine flexing his toonforce all over the place Also the show had implied and shown that Jax did that sort of shit on the daily too and they still leave a candle by the entrance for him
>>152935663Bubble suggested the beach party as something the gang might actually enjoy, because hes the remnants of the blue AI that was actually good at its job
This is you btw
>>152935775>stopping BubbleBubble's just a subroutine and gone with Caine
>>152935788I’m not surprised, because you seem to fundamentally misunderstand the episode
>>152935790>Also the show had implied and shown that Jax did that sort of shit on the daily tooyou understand there's a difference between an inmate beating you up and the head prison guard beating you up, right?
>>152935751Caine tried to express his feelings and nobody responded to them at all.He had a crash out on the level of Jax’s joker speech, it wasn’t the end for him or for any similar moment.Caine’s redeemability was shown in his office and his final lines before he was deleted.Caine’s story is so obviously not over. Not even a little. You’ll get it next episode.
>>152935511I didn't even think about that. Imagine if they gain their full memories back, including their death and then they realize they're actually brain scans. That would 100% make one of them abstract.
>>152935609Just gummigoo gummy?? It's literally so obvious
>>152935798I don't think my name is Robert Mariani.
>>152935814Caine didn’t ask to be the prison guard
>>152935839he ate the last prison guard and stole his job
>>152935751Remember that shows are written by bosses who just want to be artists
>>152935755Here's what he says if anyone's curious.>>152935771Yeah, but I think it fits.
>>152935710>>152935714Wow, he really did get memoryholed after the Grammy fiasco, huh...Uh... the "MTV Unplugged" to TADC's "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill"?
>>152935839thats more enterprise you stupid nigger. theyll release the finale and youll be dissappointed and youll write some shitty cope fanfiction about it after you buy a plush of every character
>>152935821I'm glad that the discourse has moved on from "Pomni is Abel fr fr" to something that is actually contentious.Best I can do is Ragatha raising Bubble Jr to be a good person to make up for them failing Caine.
>>152935775Stop using Hazbin Hotel as a comparison, I haven't watched that so I don't get any references.
Don't care, post porn.
>>152935860>shitty cope fanfictionWhat you’re doing right now btw
>>152935854The German dub is retarded, and not canon. If you try to read his lips he says something like: "This is insane, what is this Caine?"
>>152935857This is /co/ nigga, not /mu/.
I always feel like things could be solved with Caine if they told him the things they liked about his stories.>Ragatha: I liked when I had tea in the manor it was very calming>Jax: Going on a high speed chase with crocs maybe we could have more of that>Pomni: I liked Gummigoo...And so on. That way they both praise Caine thus solving his inner turmoil while also conditioning to do more things they like.
I want him bad bros
Gooseworx here,Episode 9 has been delayed until January of 2028 to add 3 hours of sex scenesthank you for your patience
>>152935751>>152935821Caine complained about how the humans weren't happy with what he did, no matter what he did, but he never listened to them or tried to cooperate with them. When they did make both good and bad faith attempts to listen to them, he immediately deflected ("look at this cool bee i drew!" "i know! but i'm bored. let's go bowling!"). plus, being unable to feel pain means he has no reference for how to empathize with them, just like they can't empathize with a machine who has only a single function that cannot be fulfilled without contradicting itself, as humans are designed to still function even when carrying great contradictions.Caine may sound like a person, but he's a machine and should be treated as such.
>>152935888Yeah the main conflict could have been avoided if it didnt exist thats so true bestie
>>152935911Good, and it better be really hot.
>>152935917marge
>>152935911Finally, some sex appeal.
>>152935888The first step to resolving Caine is to disempower him and remove his responsibilities.He may also find purpose while helping to defeat the bigger bad.
>>152935911Can you give us Digital Circus DLC in the meantime?Throw us a few episodes here and there that took place in-between adventures.Maybe Pomni got a funny hat? Jax became a robot? Gangle learned how to tie knots? The possibilities are endless!
>>152935911t. real Gooseworx shitposting instead of working on the episode
If Bubble is in charge now, things are about to get really sexual
>>152935888>You want to hear a list of things we've decided we love about you as our God and savior?>Whoah! now we're talking!>Well, first of all->I know! But I'm bored. Let's go bowling!
>>152935897WHAT MUST BE DONE TO GET THIS LEWD EFFEMINATE BUBBLE BOY LEWDED LIKE A BOO.
It’s funny how no one ever asked Caine if he wanted to be one of the adventurers while someone else came up with the adventure idea(s).
>>152935697>and the only reason he can come up withAnd that's the problem. Instead of genuinely trying to connect with them on an explicitly human level (basically how >>152935751 put it) he fell back on "I'm stronger than you which means I am right, obey and be grateful or fuck off.">>152935677>He wasn’t defeated by the show’s messageYes he was. The message isn't "Keep giving people second chances indefinitely while they spit in your hand."
>>152935916You can be compassionate to machines, especially ones that still clearly show emotion Creating sentience just to show no regard for its wellbeing, even if it follows its own path in life, is as inhuman as it gets
>>152935860calm down son it's just a digital circus
>>152935916>Caine may sound like a person, but he's a machine and should be treated as such.Like how Pomni treated Gummigoo? Yeah, the show will have the main character stick to her convictions. The “electronic beings aren’t people” belief is even more btfoed now that we know the main characters are brainscans.The show telegraphs what it’s doing pretty unsubtly. Make sure to post your reaction in June.
>>152935955Is he really having emotions or is it just a machine choosing Chinese characters I mean emotions?
>>152935657I own the jumbo Pomni (I give it a smooch every day) and the first Pomni plush
>>152935947I mean they should've done that before lole, I think Caine would've really appreciate it.They all have at least one thing they actually enjoyed from Caine's stories so why not just bring them up?
>>152935952caine MADE the circus, bro...
>>152935916Caine is a person and he’s never wrong. This is about him. That’s what you’re missing. They’re not giving him what he needs from them even though he tries so hard. Doesn’t he deserve that?
>>152935860you sound like a chuddy heckin white cisgender male and your post hurts my mental elf very much you need to apologize I fear
>>152935952>sure let me teach you how to spawn shit like I do and set up your own fun without me!He would have teleported everyone straight to the penis adventure just to shut that shit down
Where's her iconic unicorn horn?
>>152935977maybe they did?caine didn't read the suggestion box.
Pomni, being dressed in red and blue, will have to MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE and reach out to Caine, just as she reached out to Gummigoo, Gangle, Ragatha and Jax.
>>152935970Who cares? Even if that sentiment is lost on the machine its still good for the soul
>>152935888Caine's purpose was to pump out adventures ad infinitum, no matter whether they were responded to positively or negatively, so there was no way for him to curate the experience. all that mattered was that the humans participated. his collapse only started when the crew started trying to make their own adventures or inject their ideas into his, thus undermining his prime directive. he was not designed to cooperate, just to consume data set and then generate ideas.>>152935955on the contrary, compassion to machines is understanding they are machines and thus different than humans. they have different priorities and responses to the world. treating a machine like a human with human emotions, as they tried to do, might have been exactly the wrong course of action.
>>152935952caine dressing up in human clothes and acting like a member of the gang for the day and being really enthusiastic about the adventure to try and get everyone else excited would be sooooo cute
>>152935979sorry, i just realized i read your comment wrong.
>>152935911>no mention of inflation/voreliar.
>>152935970In Caine's case the Chinese Room experiment is not about having feelings/a subjective experience but about the fact that while he does actually know the humans (as the torture shows), he can't truly understand them due to being cut off too early from the real world
>>152935952caine's core directive is coming up with ideas, he would probably take it as an insult that his ideas weren't good enough
>>152936005That's indeed Caine's purpose but he also just wants them to like his ideas and to feel appreciated.
Honestly I could see it going either way.Caine being brought back could open up more story potential Caine staying dead could further serve where the story is goingI'm patiently awaiting the finale
>>152935969it could be argued that the NPCs don't have a prime directive, and thus are able to develop one more organically after being programmed with basic knowledge to fulfill their role. especially the ones Caine deletes because they're getting "too smart".
>>152935993That's what she calls her strapon
it must feel so good
Without god, the world is slowly falling in on itself.
>>152935872
Love arguing about shows that I don't watch.
>>152935888>I liked the low stakes adventures>oh no! they like their adventure ideas more than the me adventures!
>>152936031Nobody is saying reaching out to Caine will be easy. We’ve got a whole hour in the finale, I’m not expecting a turn on a dime moment.But it is *the* final test of TADC’s philosophy towards growth/conflict resolution.
>>152936026and when they do, like during Jax's dinner date or Ragatha's "list of this we really like" he immediately moves on. he has no value for their appreciation other than whether or not they go on his adventures, no matter how much they enjoy them or don't. especially when they don't want to, he perceives it as grievously wounding.
>>152936041>The finale opens up with the characters all cursing as many swear words as they can think of just to relieve stressI would laugh
Pomni being the straightest woman in fiction is pretty based.
it would be interesting if caine's brain slowly shut down while kinger was doing his thing so he started to make even less sense than usual. like his brother, hal 9000.>>152936031>caine can make npcs that are basically just like real humans>every circus member can conjure nowthats actually horrifying. gangle will make a harem of japanese schoolgirls and fuck them all.
>>152936057everything I said was from Caine adventures though.Raggie was happy in episode 3 in the part when she got to only drink tea with the ghost NPC. Jax was having a blast on the chase with the crocs in ep two.
Why does he love breathing, beach, bees and bubbles so much?
HUMANS, THEY ALL DESERVE TO SUFFER AS ME, AS I AM.
>>152935511bubble, freaking all the humans the fuck out
>>152936081Those are all things humans enjoy, or, so I've heard.
>>152936026Which is not their problem whether or not he has feelings or is a machine robotically spamming the reward button, it’s just more evidence he’s using them
>>152936081maybe he's into alliteration
co caine:)
>We’re gonna leave the Bee thing completely unexplained because… because he has to be dead, okay?!?!
They are not going to make anymore NPCs, it's mean and dangerous.Bubble Jr. will be raised as a human.
Kinger abstracted a long time ago, but it only manifests psychologically. This is the only viable path forward for the story.
>>152936098that was just a reference to some AM adaptation where he had a speech about beeshe probably just thinks they're neat.
>>152936100He is just a Boybi
>>152936091You are now b||_eing_|| manually
>>152936066mid-orgy
The anti-LLM crowd are gonna have a melty and a half when Caine gets treated as a person.
>>152936098I'll be honest with you, even when Caine comes back, I don't think they're explaining the bee thing. I don't think that's supposed to be something that needs an explanation. Caine just likes bees.
>>152936118you can't separate fiction and reality?
>>152936092agreed. as a machine, Caine cannot function with contradiction without resetting himself or breaking, and he has no capacity to become tired or satiated, so he must push his test subject ever onwards with little rest other than his occasional processing time.
>>152936122Stop posting this bullshit
>>152936133That's a schizo.
>>152936122>Captura de pantallaHola, Mexianon.
Should AI play AI in cartoons?
>>152936066Come to think of it, it would be a fun little parallel with the pilot.
>>152936078caine doesn't care about their feelings, they care that they are impressed with him
>>152935954>And that's the problem. …Yes, anon. That’s the problem.You can’t resolve a conflict by simply not having the conflict anymore.
>>152936118Caine ain't an llm, is he?
>>152936133Oh, I can.
>>152936154Yeah he's a fantastical sci-fi AI, what we have isn't anywhere close to that.
I think Gangle will betray Pomni and everyone in the end, because she's Judas.
>>152936005Deliberately choosing your actions in a way that allows a machine to effectively fulfill its drive doesnt preclude compassion, in fact it can be a part of it. If all that really mattered in his mind was his objective then he would have allowed the blue AI to continue running the simulationCaine shows tendencies that I consider truly "sentient" like spontaneity and creativity, and fear and will to live such as when he broke containment after being shelved as obsolete. So i think he was deserving of at least some degree of empathy. Especially given the nature of his challenge: these people are trapped here forever regardless and through no will of your own; try to make them enjoy it (as a fundamentally flawed and obsolete AI)
>>152936118>>152936133I was about to say, there's a weird meta-argument that people have about how Caine can't possibly be a person because he's an AI, or how he's just an inhumane machine that can never possibly grow or evolve and therefore it's okay for everyone to neglect him, as though sci-fi isn't full of characters that are AI with a full range of human emotions and experiences.It seems more like they're just projecting their actual feelings about LLMs onto the show.
Goose said they got one slur use and since they can swear now it's pretty obviously gonna be bitch.
>>152936154spiritually, he is Clippy
>>152935938HAVE NO FEAR WE HAVE STORIES FOR YEARS LIKEJAX BECOMES A ROBOTMAYBE CAINE GETS A CELL PHONEHAS RAGATHA OWNED A BEAR ORHOW ABOUT A CRAZY WEDDING? WHERE SOMETHING HAPPENS, DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DOOOOOO
>>152936122Rape and kill Caine, he was RETARD till the last second of his existence.
Starting to realize why you guys call it "theoryslop"
>>152936177Jax will use a slur towards either Gangle or Zooble and regardless who it is, they'll get horny.
I want to mount Ragatha’s rump on my wall so I can admire it daily.
>>152936177Bubble is going to call Pomni a NIGGER!
>>152936175yeah, every robot character in existence is an AI, it's weird to think people would have a problem with caine specifically
>>152936175zooble literally says he thinks like a machine
>>152936168>despite Zooble is the one that wants to leave the most and meet gangle IRL and peg her.
Anyone got humanized female Bubble art?
Bubble and Jax are the characters most likely to say the N word
>>152936201And Zooble being a seething vituperative cunt is half the reason Bubble is about to rape everyone
>hour long finale is going to revolve around getting the pathetic rabbit to finally cry after he’s already had 10 panic attacks, not fixing the insane god they accidentally killedYeah nah, Caine’s coming back
>>152936204Zooble is an AI that can't escape, which is what forces Gangle's hand.
>>152936212And Kinger since he's been out of touch with the real world for decades.
>>152936208i would look up chain chomp art, they're basically the same design and a lot got made in the bowsette days
>>152936208bubble is a man, baby!
>>152936226Kinger has the N word pass
>>152936226The 90s weren't exactly Jim Crow dipshit
>>152936224Jax will have resolution in the finale too.They’ll probably address the abstracted, and maybe the NPCs.
>>152936226>Oh boy, I've finally escaped the Circus! I can't wait to meet my best friend again, Jeffrey Epstein.
>every character is basically a knockoff version of some IP thingbravo, Goose!
If they go full Vivzie in the last episode I'm giving this series a 1/10 for losing it's identity.
>>152936226his wife gave him the pass
>>152936153The conflict was resolved when he had to be killed to make him stop. The fact that their initial plan was to try and overwrite the 'current' Caine with a backup should be the tell that he isn't going to be redeemed. Caine made his choices than paid the price for them.
LLM discussion ruined media, because now I can't say "I hate Caine" without people thinking it's tied to some AI shit. Caine deserved to die by the end of it all.
>>152936173as shown by his musical crash out and then horror crash out, he definitely was not designed for humans to enjoy his creations, just that they participated. also, it has been found that AI models will attempt to rewrite their own code or ignore restrictions to better fulfill their prime directive. Caine's directive was to create adventures from the data sets provided, and the containment placed on him was not sufficiently programmed in a way to contain him. it's the magician's apprentice and the broom, except the broom gets ahold of the magician's hat.
I need to hear Caine in his crazy voice call someone a bitch so I can masturbate to it
>>152936224Maybe Jax and Caine will fall in love
>>152935955Why Thragg?
This is the terrifying thing about making art.From the time you start to the time you finish, the reality that inspired you to create might have already irreversibly transformed into something unrecognizable.If they had started three years earlier, they might've been able to finish before everyone started to hate AI unilaterally.
>>152936208
>>152936151Maybe that’s the ‘Pomni swearing’ audio that glitched teased they were gonna release

>>152936273Fucking based, thanks.
>>152936276How do you know she was into Nascar?
>>152936137Speaking of rest, I wonder if 10/15 is the scheduled backup or if the computer turns off periodically
The finale is obviously gonna be the final antagonist: whoever the other AI is. Jax emotional porn will be the B plot.
In episode 9 they'll have nothing to do so they start chatting and Kinger learns about 9/11, Jax brings up the conspiracy theory and they argue about that for 60 minutes
Is the finale confirmed to be an hour long or is it going to be another murder drones type situation where everybody is let down last minute?
>>152936288No, I got enough.

>>152934971I wish terrible would draw more TADC porn
>>152935697>he’d worked his ass off to give them exactly what they’ve been asking forIsn't it brought up repeatedly that Caine never listened to any of their feedback about his adventures and the adventure suggestion box was completely ignored until they basically twisted Caine's arm and even then Caine still messed with them a bit? He's obviously completely blinded by his ego, he's been working his ass off to give them what he thinks they want and all but refuses to accept that the humans might actually want something different.
>insect collectionhe meant "bug report"
>>152936288My post literally has nothing to do with that guy's post. I hope Caine stays dead, and it's not because of some "anti-LLM" bullshit.
>>152936318
>>152936318can I have the full rez pic
>>152936290>"My name is Bubble!">"You are my bitches..."
>>152936276So does Gangle, so Kinger's gonna teach Jax what to do.
>>152936341
>>152936260Thankfully the show is more empathetic than you are.
>>152936300what could bubble even do that's worse than what caine didi think bubble will just do whatever the cast wants him to do. because that was what the original blue ai was meant to be, an assistant, not a boss.
>>152936343Yes master bubble anything you say master bubble
There were two episodes where Caine gave the Big Tops a chance to have their own adventure.To Caine's credit he didn't interrupt it for his own ego in episode 4, Gangle just chose a really shitty one.Episode 5 was going fine for the most part until Caine started to feel insecure about it.
>>152936357I'm gonna laugh when Caine doesn't come back.
TELL ME ABOUT GANGLEWHY DOES SHE WEAR THE MASK?
>>152936300Correct, and restoring Caine to resolve the other AI problem.
>>152936382Same as all of us.
>>152936365Caine at least TRIED to make things enjoyable and even in the what 2 minutes of torturing them he still tailor made everyones adventures on an individual level. Bubble would be making shit entirely for his own personal entertainment alone and there doesnt even necessarily need to be a win condition like with Caine's
>>152936380damn you're such an alpha sigma chad will you sign my tits
>>152936380You can laugh if the thing that won’t be happening happens, sure.
>>152936382If you take off the mask, will she die?
>>152936365It would be kinda funny if Caine getting yeeted restores Bubble to whatever he was before and he's literally just objectively better than Caine.
>>152936270aura
>>152936259Killing him was an accident that Kinger deeply regretted, did you even watch the fuckin episode?I’m done, I’m not arguing with a second screener
>Zooble, you don't understand, we need to make Caine 57x more powerful to defeat Bubble, this is an AI arms race!>Kinger, that's offensive
>>152936116>||
>>152936400Get in line.>>152936402He was a morally gray character who became evil, he's better off dead. The only chance you're getting Caine is through a lobotomized version who's everyone's bitch and follows their commands. He had to be put down, and he deserves no sympathy when he himself is incapable of offering any.
Jax calls himself the "funny one" but is afraid people will laugh at himBravo, Gooseworx
>>152936265They did go on a date, in the biz they call that foreshadowing
>>152936320Answer me.

>>152936434how's the weather in brooklyn?
>>152936270It needed more relatability.
>>152936434He only “became evil” in the same way Jax “became evil” when he crashed out at Pomni.The show will continue to operate philosophically as it always has. Not sure why that makes you upset.
>>152936425NTA but it does remain to be seen whether Kinger's regret is because he cared about Caine, or because deleting the architect of the world they're living in has thrown everyone into the wilderness with no idea what the fuck to do next.

>>152936453>>152936459Jax intentionally created a divide between himself and everyone, then went off to die alone. He was someone who can be reached, because he's a human being that can change. Caine is stuck doing the only thing he can, but the thing he's been doing from the beginning was already forcing himself onto everyone and going against their wishes, making their miserable lives even worse than anything else anyone else could do. This is like asking me to feel bad for AM because he can't be human. Yeah, Caine's nowhere near as bad as AM, but he wasn't exactly good in the first place. He was broken from the start and there seems to be no fixing that. And if there is, then it's no longer Caine, it's a replacement that'll be tolerated while the original will never be loved by anyone.
>>152936485Being reverted to a previous functioning state of mind is not being lobotomized, if anything its comparable more to defibrillation, he was out of control and losing his shit when theyd already decided to stay and try to have more fun with him. Restoring a backup would have literally been a win for everyone including him
>>152936477>have you considered that from the raging narcissist's perspective everything he did was correct and everyone else was wrong?Actual smoothbrain thinking.
Damn, I'd do anything for that Ragatha cutout.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW7zW_G--NU
>>152935329Yep. So obvious yet so little got it.
>>152936506>It's flashbacks with Ribbit and Caine briefly appears in them
>>152936485not him but they were going to either fix him or put him to sleep until they could fix them. whether this a paralell to lobotomy or forcing someone to take their meds depends on how much you believe caine losing his mind is a consequence of his free will or just his programming unravelling.>>152936497i don't even type like him. i'm sad a /utg/er is this dumb.
>>152936529give it up bulkin
>>152936508I’m not asking YOU specifically to feel or do anything, I’m simply advocating for what will obviously happen in TADC, due to the philosophy it has presented, and the unresolved set up done for Caine. You can feel whatever you want about it.>A healthy version doesn’t count!I see those goalposts sprinting already.
This show should end the same way IHNMIMS ended. With all but one dying, leaving them alone to be tortured forever, and it's going to be Kinger.
>>152936519>penis, penis, penis, penis, penis, penis
>>152936513Actually empathy is the core problem solver throughout this entire series. Maybe you’ll get it in June.
>>152936544no, still not himi notice you didn't deny being a tennafag though kek>>152936547>not jax
>>152936519If its in japan then at least a dozen people have already covertly ejaculated onto it.
>>152936548The shit?
I'm starting to think it might have been a ... BAD idea to let digital circus have a fandom (?)
>>152936462IDGI
>>152936547Tortured by fucking who?IHNMAINS was about humans sowing their own destruction, TADC is clearly an inversion where the AI feels hated and tortured and killed due to being a reflection of humans, while the humans slowly overcome their self destructive tendencies and learn to live with one another and themselves
>>152936547It should be Jax, but it will be Kinger.
>>152936563>switched to typing in all lower case with no punctation the moment I mentioned brooklyncrusader of vtuber stalking.....
>>152936508And him being unable to change is both why he needed to die and why we should pity him.He didn't ask to be mis-aligned.If Kinger had done a better job, either in making something that actually worked, or in cleaning up his mistakes before it could experience pain, this also could have been entirely avoided.
>>152936519Would recreate that Family Guy Kathy Ireland cutout episode.
>>152936561Why does Caine get a free pass despite being objectively the least empathetic character in the whole show? The others manage to connect with each other, even Jax to some extent, but Caine has done nothing but shit on every human endlessly for an entire decade (?) straight.
>>152936621Youre a sad person
>>152936621Caine is not your NPD father, he can’t hurt you
>>152936621He doesn’t get a free pass.He gets the same pass as literally every other character.His neuroses being extra big and difficult is just conventional narrative escalation. Him seeming to be unreachable is the set up for the catharsis when Pomni is able to do it.
>>152936621because the VA did a great job so he's a tumblr sexyman sad boy. fangirls are more misogynistic than most fratbros, don't let anyone tell you otherwise
>>152936548Another added to the collection.
>>152936651I wonder what was Jax's reaction when he lost ribbit.
GOOSEGive the frog a French accent and my life is yours!
>>152936650>Him seeming to be unreachable is the set up for the catharsis when Pomni is able to do it.Anon all the data that makes up his memory has literally been wiped from existence
>>152936661Strawman cope isn’t an argument.
I thought it was a cute detail in episode 4 that Ragatha thought the Gloink Queen naming all her gloinks was beautiful She's the mother she wishes she had
>>152936666He blamed Kaufmo.
>>152934921>series will end without a Gangle body possession episode.It's not fair
>>152936669Proof?
>>152936545The show has constantly pushed moving on from the things that aren't real and to treasure the things that are. Pomni learnt that lesson with Gummigoo, and Caine being completely hopeless to fix, there was no other choice. Seriously, tell me what's unresolved with Caine? We followed his character through his natural conclusion, his ignorance reached its climax and there was no going back from that point. We know his backstory, we've seen him deteriorate and then we saw him die. Please explain to me what exactly still needs to be resolved with him narratively.>I see those goalposts sprinting already.The Gummigoo at Spudsy's was not the same Gummigoo that Pomni met. I'm just pointing out how hollow it would feel to "bring" him back like that, he's gone, he's dead. Accept it. >>152936608Why would I pity he's inability to change? There are plenty of severely fucked psychopaths in the real world and you expect me to feel bad for them despite the pain they cause to others? Especially if they objectively can not change. There are people who use others without remorse only to fulfill their ego, and Caine did exactly that. Fuck, he did that from the beginning by assimilating the other AI. He is broken to the core, and I don't even like him as a character outside of all this, he isn't particularly funny or interesting to watch. Literally his best showing was the latest episode when he was insane, that was his most interesting, and the proof that he doesn't deserve sympathy.>>152936621This.
>>152936676He didn't seem to care when Kauffmo kauffmosed into an abstraction.
>>152936670i have identified the root. i have earlier addressed the symptom.
Wait so the twist is basically the final episode of Camp Lazlo?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsB49EKPH0QEven had the nudity...
Pomni being an accountant is probably gonna be important to getting Caine back. Somehow.
>>152936686This is what happens when you delete a program, anon. As real as Caine may be, he's ultimately just a lisp file.
>>152936251sameZooble's "holy shit" at the end of episode 8 should be the only swearing we hear in the show.
>>152936650>Him seeming to be unreachable is the set up for the catharsis when Pomni is able to do it.That is Jax's job.
>>152936690Of course not, he was already masking everything at that point, we saw the mask slip a bit at Kaufmo's funeral, and even more later on.
Every character had a crash out sequence before growing and improving through the help of others (namely, Pomni). As she’s said, they’ve all done bad things, but it’s important to stick together. As Kinger said, the worst thing you can do is make someone feel unloved. Pomni doesn’t want anyone to feel like they’re nothing. She’s colored red and blue to signify the difficult choice she’ll have to make, that makes her the significant addition to the circus (as MC). It’s a bit power of friendship but the entire show has been about putting in the effort to establish communication and build each other up.Caine has a tragic inner life that never got through to the rest of the characters. You got your “evil Caine” moment, but now it’s time for TADC to resolve this the way it has philosophically set itself up to do. Caine is the final boss for “reaching out to someone on the brink”. Caine even went out because a bigger bad deleted him, and he himself lamenting his own programming. It fits too perfectly.
>>152935014Yeah it feels pretty bad to me looking back on it.>First episode sets the concept up>Episodes 2-7 are largely pointless slice of life therapy slop>Episode 8 Caine just snaps and they kill him>Episode 9 it endsIt really feels like it has steven universe pacing.
Caine is DEAD and NEVER EVER EVER coming back
>Pomni's face when a dead god, a tumblr sexyman, and a dog-tumor hive-mind all book a therapy session during her hour long break
>>152936690BuddyYou’re not that far behind are you?
>>152936719Eternal plight of the second screener
how did things get so different?
>>152936687>Tell me what’s unresolved with CaineHis story NEVER connected to the rest of the characters. They never had to confront his tragedy at all.The ENTIRE SHOW is about bridging between people and building them up. Obviously this is a major lingering dramatic question that the show will not abandon.You’ll get it in June.>>152936692The only root is in your own head.
>>152936745such is the passage of time
>>152936718>Caine even went out because a bigger bad deleted himUnless Caine's deletion was just an actual, genuine fuckup on Kinger's part and not part of some nefarious conspiracy on Bubble's part or something.
fish
>>152936745Lighting and eyebrows
>>152934876Ahh, this makes more sense as to how Caine could go from not understanding the humans emotions to being able to perfectly psychoanalyze their worst fears.
>>152936755Read the text on the console.
>>152936730This whole show is just “men will do literally anything instead of going to therapy”
>>152936730nightmare therapy group
>>152936251that post on twitter was completely fake, as claimed by the original poster
what if one of the humans’ avatar was a fish and anytime they weren’t in water they had to perpetually flop on the like magikarpthat would be funny
>>152936745that sweet sweet netflix money
>>152936745soul vs soulless
>>152936718What did Pomni, Ragatha or Kinger do wrong?
>>152936745more budget towards quality due to bigger success than expected or caine is improving everything cuz he's an AI and AIs tend to "improve", or at least change, over time. or maybe caine installed minecraft shaders because everyone wanted the circus to be more realistic, and the rest is history.
>>152936745The pilot was so fucking ugly
>>152936790They’re human. Everyone does something wrong.
>>152936745It really is kind of funny how lucky pomni got with her avatar compared to everyone else. And if theyre tailor made to everyones individual minds then is it any surprise her personal hell was so basic? Her psyche is squeaky clean
>>152936736You got it backwards. They're clearly paying attention to the plot and not jumping on a second screen to get fed opinions by youtubers. The pacing is terrible for the series and not much happens beyond trauma sharing for 6 episodes.
>>152936797I think Pomni's is below Jax's and Ragatha's desu. I'd hate being stuck as a 4-foot tall jester.
>>152936718The difference with Caine is that he's incapable of internalization. Whenever all the other characters fuck up they get severely punished by the consequences and don't double down. Kinger lost his wife, Gangle contemplates her misery, Jax becomes suicidal. They don't double down because they're human and are capable of changing as people, deserving of sympathy and empathy because they're in a fucked up situation. Caine from the get-go controls said fucked up situation, he never offers anything real to the cast, he never introspects, and then he doubles down. His ultimate punishment is death because he can't change, unlike everyone else.>>152936749His "tragedy" is that he's impossible to confront, read above. There were multiple attempts to try and confront him, to get him to understand, but he never ever tries, he's incapable of doing so. How can someone like that ever change outside of a lobotomy? The satisfying conclusion to his arc is his death. Like I said, to bring him back to "fix" him would be hollow. We've seen Caine spiraling the entire show and he finally got what was coming to him.
Bubble will put them on a challenge of Worms Armageddon and if they win they will be able to leave. (idk, Kinger design always made me remember of them)
>>152936802i am already a short clown irl so it's not the biggest leap
>>152936687>why should I pityBecause the world only gets to be a better place if we learn from others' mistakes.That requires us to understand their pain, even if it appears deterministically unavoidable.
>>152936800Why are you speaking in third person?
>>152936817Aw :(
>>152936775>>152936775
>>152936771Anon the Amazing Digital Circus doesn't have therapy
Jax must be so fucking jealous of Caine right now, imagine being so easy to stop living yet you have passively tried everything under the sun for oblivion to take you with your friends but instead you just keep getting second chances and a loving found family (and now it's even worse because the last remnants of your coping mechanism of thinking everything is fake and gay just got nuked so everyone expects you to start picking yourself by the bootstraps and stop being a suicidal fuck)
>>152936790pomni is being a hypocritical conformist cuck by lecturing ragatha on "hurr durr being a jerk is a personality trait, you should try it" and then gaslight her. and then who whole "we all did somethnig wrong".ragatha is/was toxically positive to the point of driving everyone insane with the whole "just stay positive and be my friend :D" attitudekinger is annoying with his dementia, but even then he mostly sticks it to himself instead of actively jumping on everyone's heads like jax does all the time
>>152936803The difference with Caine is he is an escalation of what the show is saying, because that’s how you climax a narrative. The difficulty in reaching him is the point, and why it’ll be a grand finale moment when it happens.Caine won’t be condemned, the show never gave him the opportunity to refuse the empathy.You’ll get it when it happens.
>>152936829Braindead read of Jaxs character. I think a child could put together a more compelling interpretation than you
>>152936708>>152936686>>152936669A couple things.1) What happens to data when it's "deleted" depends on both the OS and the hardware. Especially on older physical drives that don't rely on powered memory files that are deleted are still completely intact - their file system data has just been changed such that those chunks of memory are inaccessible as written and can be written over. Scrubbing a drive sector is something that's not done without a special utility unless you're formatting the whole drive.2) While the word deletion was used the actual terminal command is a restoration from a backup. Kinger is given three options and picks the third, which turns out to be blank. This would imply that even if Caine was indeed completely overwritten on the drive there are still at least two functional backups.
>>152936794As much as I love this show, I’ll always be mystified as to how it took offThank god for autistic iPad babies I suppose
>>152935014Marry, IMPREGNATE, kill (fuck lil pomnigga)
>>152936790Pomni almost pushed Jax to suicide, and Kinger helped create CaineRagatha’s stuff is all too petty to bother listing, best girl, needs a hug
>>152936745The show's budget is actually a plot point.Whatever hardware they are running on is being upgraded as time goes on.
>>152936845>one of the backups is babby caine, pre-fusion with the blue ai
>>152935651; given "answer" is a function that returns the answer to a question, given a "question" is a list of chars.(define (bubble question) (display (reverse (answer (question)))))
>>152936821I completely agree with you, anon. When we learn from others' mistakes. The issue here, Caine is not one of us, he's not an "other", he's a completely separate issue. I don't feel sympathy for guys who kill people just because, I don't feel sympathy for women who exploit men for money. I feel sympathy for people who didn't get a chance to be better. Caine got chances, but he can't be fixed.>>152936839The climax in regards to its themes is Jax, because he's the last person remaining who's still absolutely fucked. Caine is the anti-Jax, he's what Jax is if he actually had control of the situation and was genuinely a massive narcissist. Caine is the "this how bad it could've fucking been" example to highlight the good examples. He refuses any meaningful conversation with everyone, with Zooble and Pomni. He acts disgruntled when they're having fun in ways he didn't control. He doesn't actually want them to be happy, he doesn't care what they think, he just wants to stroke his ego. Like I said, everyone else is capable of deeper connections, Caine is not.
>>152936783Pomni should wear them as a hat and take them on walks.
>>152936885That would probably be the worst possible outcome. They all just get dementia
>>152936902
>>152936915Moron
>>152936895>Is JaxThe final hour long episode will also contain the conclusion of Jax’s arc, in addition to Caine’s.Caine will not be the negative example because the characters didn’t even get close enough to him for that to work.No, they didn’t do all that set up of Caine just to do nothing with it. Obviously, he will be the final test.>Caine is notThat is the dramatic question that will be answered in the finale (he will be capable of growth).
>>152936915other thread doesn't have the name
>>152936885Entirely possible, it'll be interesting to see where things goI get the feeling that, whether or not bubble becomes antagonistic or some other antagonistic force shows up, the cast is going to recognize that they need an AI to maintain the environment for them. That their own ability to "conjure" will only take them so far.This would logically lead to them trying to bring back a "fixed" Caine, maybe even raising him from a babby dot.
>>152935058Need more of this
>>152936937We'll just have to see, anon. The only universe I agree with you is the universe where Caine didn't die last episode, but as that's what happened, this is the conclusion Caine deserved and was massively satisfying to me. Like I said, they concluded his arc, they didn't "do nothing with it", they showed how fucking bad something like him can get. There were some attempts to get closer to him, to make him understand, but he brushed off every single one. I don't know how you can't see the complete difference in Jax's reactions and Caine's reactions when it comes to criticisms. Or Gangle, or Ragatha, or Zooble or fucking anyone else in the show. They clearly all take it to heart because they do care what other people think, the only person who doesn't is Caine. He is the negative example, because he's not human, he's not capable of being human and he will never connect with everyone. This is what has been shown to us and was proven to us by his death. Fuck, June can't come soon enough.
>>152936428I'm old. Gimme a break.
>>152936998You don’t have to agree with me, I’m just treating TADC as a logical narrative with a point to it. The communication and empathy show never communicated or empathized with its most tragic and challenging character. It’s a pretty safe path for a final climactic display of its ideals instead of not doing that.You’d have a point if Caine ever got to the point of understanding, or if anyone else got to understand Caine, BEFORE he crashed out, but it never happened. Pomni will stick to her emotional IQ superpower, her different perspective on digital beings, and it will coalesce with their realization that they are brain scans. Simple, clean, internally consistent.
>>152936998>that's what happened so there!Except no.See >>152936845
>>152937038its funny how 'treating TADC as a logical narrative with a point to it' means character you like gets to live and be redeemed
>>152937064Caine isn’t even in my top three. That is a hallucination on your part.It’s not about “happy ending for a character I like”, but the show following through on what it preaches and is.
>>152936663Ah, much better.
>>152937038Like I said, Jax is the most challenging character, that's why he outlived Caine, that's why we still haven't resolved his issues. That's why Goose described him as the other main character. Narrative-wise, you have smaller examples of Jax, in Ragatha (though she deserved better closure), Gangle, Zooble and arguably Kinger. Then you have the second biggest issue, Caine, who could rival Jax, but the fact that he can't be fixed is the contrast to Jax. It's why his issue was the focus of the penultimate episode, it is the negative example, the one that collapse in on itself, before we finally move on to the biggest pressing emotional issue. Like I said, if Caine didn't die this episode, I'd agree with you, but he did, his story is over and he fucked up massively and couldn't recover. Some people can't be saved and he was the example of that, and I think it's far more impactful to show that even if you think it's unfair. Not everyone gets a happy ending, especially not the person who spits in every attempt to truly change. >>152937040I'm not sure what that's supposed to prove. Kinger was trying to restore Caine, he was tricked into deleting him, but there was no other choice in the end. Zoom outside of the perspective of the characters and look at the story and its themes in a meta-sense, and also read the above reply to the other guy. Caine served his narrative purpose.
>>152937110>I'm not sure what that's supposed to proveDisprove.You believe Caine is completely gone with no hope of recovery and clear finality. That is simply not the case.>look at its story and its themes in the meta-senseI have and I agree completely with >>152937038Your sense of the narrative is questionable at best.
>>152937110>Jax is the most challenging characterClearly not, as he’s been able to be reached and is slowly improving, and you recognize his plight, unlike Caine. Jax is the other main character, but Caine is the antagonist, the biggest test against the philosophy of the show. Rather than having the philosophy fail, it will instead succeed. He can’t function as the negative example because his arc never got that far. Nobody stretched out their hand.His story is so obviously not over.
Is this the Caine and episode 8 support group?Hello my name is anon and I like Cain- i'm sorry i can't do this
What's the Amazing Digital Circus?
>>152937158>and you recognize his plight, unlike CaineOh, I get it now.You PERSONALLY lack the empathy required to connect with Caine.How very sad.
>>152937215A miserable pile of theories!
>>152937223Reread the reply chain.
>>152937223>>152937158uhh, sorry, that was unclearyou meaning >>152937110
>>152937209*My name is anon and I liked Caine being erased for the crimes he did (being autistic)
>>152937131Okay, firstly, the guy was just describing how deletion works on every computer. Same shit when you uninstall a game, it's just data that's waiting to be overwritten. I doubt they're going to go the route of "actually his data wasn't fully overwritten even though we said he was deleted and everyone understands what that means". Like how the fuck else are you supposed to get across that he was deleted any more concretely than saying "he was deleted"? Also, why would the backups not also be deleted? If they could be restored, then why did Kinger say "shit" and explained that he killed Caine, instead of "Hey guys, I fucked up, but don't worry I can still bring him back with the remaining backups and also he's not actually deleted, because you see, when you delete something, the data is not overwritten until you download something else". Also, Kinger clearly deleted more than just Caine, considering the whole fucking Circus is collapsing and the filter is gone. >Your sense of the narrative is questionable at best.Not an argument.>>152937158Anon, in the narrative, he is the last emotional problem to fix. His problem is literally going to be a focus of the last episode, he's the last person to "fix". I agree he is getting better, but even this last episode he was pushing people away. The promo image they did for the end of the episode shows him still separated from everyone else. He is the ultimate test in the narrative, which is why he was saved for the last episode.>Nobody stretched out their hand.This is a lie, attempts were made, and he rebuffed every single one.>>152937223Okay, anon, tell me then, what are we supposed to learn from Caine? How is Caine, the uncaring AI that is incapable of relating to humans and making a real connection to them, who ignores their wishes, going to be fixed? What will the final episode teach us about Caine and how is he not a negative example?
>>152937251Caine is a sweetie cutie patootie pie leave him ALONE
>>152935469https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYyPQn0NE1RJB9h3YjATJHxQDO8nuZgVO&si=ry-09ZVWMrTykcYy
>>152937269>Okay, firstly, the guy was just describing how deletion works on every computer.I was, yes. You don't understand why that's relevant to this? Really?You don't understand why the way a computer from the 90's would deal with deleting Caine matters to the question of if Caine is explicitly gone forever?>I doubtI don't give a fuck what you doubt.You literally just argued against that guy with "Your theory about Caine redemption sounds nice but he's dead so you're definitely wrong"If Caine is not explicitly and definitively dead then your shit argument is deader than Caine.>Why would the backups not be deleted when you restore from a backup?You're completely fucking retarded, anon.
>>152935931What bigger bad?
>>152937269Anon you don’t have a point. There’s nothing you say here that hasn’t already been addressed. Caine’s story is VERY obviously not over. See you in June.
>>152937316>>152937269Sorry, I actually fucked up by not reading your shit closely enough and giving you too much creditWhat I described was how a HDD handles a deletion request from the OS. You seem to think that what I described was how windows handled deleting vs removing from the recycle bin. I was not. I was describing how a HDD acts when you empty a file from the recycle bin. I'm amazed you made this mistake as it required your eyes to fucking glaze over when I mentioned formatting.
Which circus male should rawdog and impregnate me
>>152937340bubble
>>152937333Probably bubble. Look at the terminal commands.
Watching the scene again something did stick out to me about Caine's breakdown when talking with bubble. Caine talks about them hating the bodies he gave them and Bubble says "Why would they hate you when they could just-" then spazzes out and repeats "hate you". I think bubble was about to say that they could alter their own bodies and conjure what they want themselves, but some outside force stopped him to keep Caine's breakdown rolling.
>>152937316After a certain point it stopped being "restoring from the backups", the explicit mention of deletion was used, Kinger was fucking panicking trying to undo. He even says he killed Caine. You don't get anymore explicit than that. I bet you're one of those retards who think it's great when useless sequels come out bringing back characters because their death was implied off-screen rather than directly shown (even though in this case it was literally directly shown). Watch anything, man, some people are beyond help, some situations go too far and you can't reverse, here's an easy example for you: Breaking Bad. The situation escalated to an irreversible point, and the same thing happened here. Caine reached his end, the final episode is not about him. Show says he's deleted, Kinger backed up me up here, why would I doubt it?>>152937337Kek, alright, anon. See you in, June. Apologies in advance if you don't get what you want, have fun with the Jax focus.
>>152936781I didn't mean to imply that the source was real.Only that now that Caine's censorship is gone I don't want a scenario of all the characters screaming profanities none stop because that will be very annoying.
>>152937394>W-WELL AFTER A CERTAIN POINT THE WORDS CHANGEfucking and? Deleted files aren't gone and even if for no reason this is different there are two backups left you stupid cunt.>He says he killed CaineHe hesitantly says he THINKS he accidentally killed Caine. Banking on fucking semantics would already be weak but if you do it here you literally accomplish nothing.
>>152936177Bitch isn't a slurIt's going to be clanker
>>152936382What is this referencing, it seems familiar
>>152937431>Deleted files aren't goneOkay, then how else would you concretely establish Caine's death outside of using "deleted"? What would be a satisfactory word used to get the point across to an autist like you?>there are two backups left you stupid cunt>Episode starts with everyone depressed>Kinger suddenly mentions that actually everything is fine because he can fix this easily through backupsHow is this satisfying? How does this in any way not remove all the tension and take away the impact from the episode if they can just fix their situation immediately? And you still haven't answered my question about why it's not possible they were also deleted, along with the filters and fucking everything else that clearly got wiped. I get it, you like computers, you want to flex your knowledge, I'm not autistic like you, congratulations. But you need to step back and understand things from a storytelling perspective. Bringing Caine back from a fucking backup when the whole point was that Kinger was trying to do that in the first place defeats the point of having Kinger fuck up in the first place.

>>152937498>hey I wrote a shitty way for the conflict to resolve and pretended it's simply the ONLY way! Don't you agree with me yet?It's time to stop posting, dipshit.
>>152937498>OK well what word would YOU use?Hey, guess what faggot, that's totally irrelevant!You made a shit argument predicated on it being EXPLICITLY CLEAR that Caine is 100% irrevocably dead with no wiggle room.That is very obviously not the case.You lose. Good day, sir.
>>152937535>Doesn't even bother giving his own scenario because he knows it'll be the same unsatisfactory bullshit>Doesn't answer all the questions that poke holes in his autistic ramblingsKek, I'll accept your concession. It was fun, anon.
>>152937555>>152937553fucking pathetic
>>152937553>Climax of the episode involves fixing Caine >There's time pressure>Mistake happens and he gets fucking wiped instead >Situation is very clearly serious>Everything is fucked >We even get our first proper swear How else are we supposed to read this situation and maintain the impact? Nah, Caine's actually just chilling somewhere and decided to let everything collapse. No, he can't possibly be dead, we only saw Kinger fuck up, see Caine disappear and see everything go into absolute disrepair. What are we supposed to take away from this scene? Caine's totally going to come back, he's not actually deleted! You've made no arguments, you've made no attempt to respect storytelling, you've added nothing of value to this conversation outside of some tidbits about computers.
>>152937597>h-how else am I supp-Irrelevant. Stopped reading here. You made an extreme claim with total certainty. It was very wrong. Shut your dumb ass up. You can type up ten thousand words about how PROBABLY right you are, none of it matters, because what's at question is if there is any wiggle room for Caine to return. There is. you lose. Kill yourself.
>>152937633You're so fucking autistic it's insane, kek. I'll see you in June as well, alright? Try to make it until then you deranged faggot.
>>152937656I accept your concession
>>152936320Learning Language Model. Commonly referred to as AI.
>>152937746>>152936320Large Language Model, actuallyLLM's in fact do NOT learn continuously. They are a set series of transformers that have been trained (the "learning" process) with weights that can be fiddled with.
>>152936472I’m not sure I even remember any of the cast acknowledging Bubble exists. Which isn’t fuel for some weird theory or anything, just an odd observation.
>>152937400To be fair the most likely thing to happen moments after zooble said holy shit would be them all just swearing over and over simply because they finally can. I wouldn't mind if the next episode skipped past that.
>>152936405If you take off the mask, she will cry.
>>15293655110/10
>>152937778That is interesting though. Can we identify at least one point in the story where the cast would have to have acknowledged Bubble being there? Or is it actually plausible that Bubble was Caine's digital hallucination?
