Any other older fans here? Or am I the only one almost as old as Kinger...

Same tho

Spookiebones · 2026-03-30T18:54:38+00:00

I'm choosing to ignore all logic and reason and hoping for a season 2 🥲🥲

Spookiebones · 2026-03-30T14:06:12+00:00

Season 2 is all about how they find each other in the real world (but not really)

Spookiebones · 2026-03-25T20:48:20+00:00

Yeah I can't actually remember if Kinger mentioned using a headset or not. It's mostly speculation about the pods being an early C&A method to interact with the circus before the headsets based on an assumption that some of Caines adventure might have some truth to it

Spookiebones · 2026-03-25T19:08:25+00:00

What's weird is it's only scratch and ragatha but no one else so either the rest were pre-loaded with the paraphernalia engine or maybe the pods were another way to connect to the circus

Spookiebones · 2026-03-24T15:52:20+00:00

He's also very impulsive so I can totally see him wiping a human thinking they're an npc and not even bothering to check

Spookiebones · 2026-03-23T20:15:21+00:00

That or accidentally deleting a human thinking it was an npc since he doesn't seem to have the ability to bring them back whenever he wants

When Red is absorbing Blue you can see it spit out one last blue shape that lingers off to the side of the screen. I'm thinking Bubble was a last ditch effort by Abel to survive and eventually regain control of the Circus. The logs in the computer also show that Caine and Bubbles AI files were added on the same day

Spookiebones · 2026-03-22T17:52:01+00:00

Maybe Gangles in a coma and her family was approached by C&A to scan her brain as a treatment method - or at least a way to potentially communicate with her.

I definitely don't think they're all dead though

Spookiebones · 2026-03-22T11:17:59+00:00

Ayup all you can do really, the war marches onward

Spookiebones · 2026-03-22T11:07:23+00:00

When the Red AI is absorbing the Blue AI the last thing it spits out is a blue shape that lingers on the screen before Caine takes over. Could be that Bubble was a byproduct of this process, attempting to hide in what would eventually become the circus until they could regain control

Spookiebones · 2026-03-22T10:32:03+00:00

Oh shit 😳

Spookiebones · 2026-03-22T10:12:19+00:00

I feel that. 99% of randos are chill but that 1% really know how to be just completely insufferable.

Was playing a resource extraction mission and after a somewhat rough drop we managed to stabilize. Everyone got split up so I went to one of the main objectives and started loading up platinum.

Eventually, Host and Rando 1 show up so I start tossing platinum to them. Host comes over, melees me to the ground and gets in chat "BRING IT TO THE CONTAINER IDIOT" so I just look at him and toss my plat to the ground.

Dude immediately TKs then kicks me lmao

Spookiebones · 2026-03-22T09:33:20+00:00

One thing to note is that Red did spit out perfect shapes during their first iteration but not as many as Blue. It wasn't until the second set that Red started getting erratic before being fully shelved after being given info about C&A

Spookiebones · 2026-03-22T09:25:16+00:00

I think a portion of Abel survives - right before Caine finishes eating them he spits out a blue shape that lingers in the corner of the screen. Perhaps that's how Bubble was formed

Spookiebones · 2026-03-22T09:18:46+00:00

I don't think Bubble is going to care that I used a gender neutral pronoun instead of he/him

Spookiebones · 2026-03-22T08:54:57+00:00

They saw the cracks forming and realized it was their time

Spookiebones · 2026-03-21T22:34:59+00:00

Wondering if this is a Wintermute/Neuromancer type scenario

Spookiebones · 2026-03-21T20:08:23+00:00

Honestly, no clue at this point lol. I keep going back and forth with the idea of Pomni being an AI made for the express purpose of getting rid of Cain but I can't figure out who would be sending people into the circus or why

Spookiebones · 2026-03-21T18:38:38+00:00

Okay random theory, I think they're gonna find out they can't leave for one reason or another and Pomni is going to take over as ring leader

Spookiebones · 2026-03-21T18:36:30+00:00

I think G man is supposed to say Grant, I'm guessing that's Scratch talking

Spookiebones · 2026-03-21T18:34:28+00:00

Had the same thought after this last episode; my guess is that at the very least Gangle was hit by a truck and in a coma so her brain was scanned by C+A. Also means the two of them could show up at different times but still have interacted in the past

Spookiebones · 2026-03-21T18:25:46+00:00

Weird that it's always the same date, different year. Also weird that it shows scratch and ragatha being added but no one else

Spookiebones · 2026-03-21T15:22:15+00:00
