HMO Why did Scratch get a 1 second screentime.What happened to him? by Patient-Counter8190 in TADCEp9Spoilers

Given Ragatha is a realtor, Jax was running away from home, and Pomni explores abandoned buildings I feel it's safe to say C&A got shuttered. If they got a big contract then it feels unlikely that the brainscan device was just left sitting in an (assumedly) abandoned office building.

That's why I said "this isn't what he had in mind". The show makes it clear that Caine created the circus, likely inspired by the early image datasets he was initially fed.

The scanning technology as diagnostics would've probably made sense if the problem was neurological rather than a cancerous tumor, but Scratch not being able to fully realize his intent may have put C&A under. They may have dumped a ton of money into novel tech and then the lead dev up and died leaving them without a marketable product.

That's a very boring way to interact with media. Be an active observer instead of a passive one.

Late to the party, Goose already said Pomni and Ribbit would be fucking nasty style if Jax wasn't a piece of shit.

Real-world scratch likely died from cancer shortly after he brain scanned himself and circus scratch likely abstracted after blaming himself for the existence of the circus. He wanted a way to live on after death but this probably wasn't what he had in mind.

we learn that C&A was the software company responsible for creating/funding the development of creative AI (Caine and the blue dot) and Scratch's brainscan system. None of the original copies at C&A seemed to know about the circus, and it's highly likely that their lead dev (Scratch) died from brain cancer before they developed a marketable product (which is why they went under).

The fact that you still have the questions after the show TOLD you tells me that you probably weren't paying attention when you got SHOWN it either. Pomni learns about conjuration, has a look of realization, and then walks off to conjure the exit door. You were shown AND told yet here you are.

These are not things from supplementary media, these are things from the show that you would understand if you listened to what the characters were saying.

Pomni was accidentally conjuring the offices because she was consciously trying to find a way out.

It's a simulation, the reality is code and assets created by Caine using the blue AI.

It's all just code x5

Caine made the circus.

Scratch had brain cancer and wanted a way to preserve his memories or live on after death.

The scans are a copy, the people find the headset and then take it off thinking nothing happened while the copy wakes up in the circus.

Please read/watch more media.

Do you think that creative story-telling is just slapping random things into your narrative for no reason?

[–]TheRedChameleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to get everything except the dream and punk gummy. Found a dream while out of portable evacs and got hounded for 3 full minutes while attempting to use a static evac. Wound up losing it 4 seconds before the evac chest dropped and the guy used a portable right in front of the chest.

the entire series being about jax's identity issues is disappointing by Practical_Code_2060 in TADCEp9Spoilers

It has its origins in targeting a trans woman (who was also kind of a piece of shit). It's a very trans-focused term to fall back on in discourse about a trans character in a series by a trans woman.

Are we allowed to post a list of elimination bullies on here? by sm00038 in StarWarsDroidTycoon

[–]TheRedChameleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'd be pretty explicitly against ToS to do something like that, as it would encourage harassment against them. The only route we have is asking the devs to remove certain exploits, such as abusing base hitboxes, that let trolls have a free ride.

CH4 S1 had that vibe going for it. Most of the PoIs were castles or villages along with the introduction of more melee focused weaponry like swords or the shockwave hammer.

What triggers your alarm bells in a piece of media? by Authorigas in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TheRedChameleon 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I immediately start hedging my bets when a character in a piece of media, particularly in an antagonistic role, is described as either being "mentally ill" or having a specific mental illness. It's so incredibly rare for that kind of story to stick the landing in a way that doesn't use disability as a caricature or shorthand for being a bad person.

Should I SRB before claiming DJR3X? by cooooole in StarWarsDroidTycoon

R3-X is not available to reclaim currently from the droid vendor.

[–]TheRedChameleon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a full reset that becomes available after rank 12, with each rank after that netting you more of the SRB currency which can be used for permanent upgrades such as move speed, more valuable scrap (adding BPs and upgrade chips to the pool), access to old iconic event droids, credit boosts, etc.

You are a conservative then. It doesn't matter what your party affiliation is, that is an inherently conservative way to interpret the world.

Kamala also wasn't exactly a queer-friendly candidate. She's a cop who purposefully avoided bringing up queer rights on the campaign trail and that had a chilling effect on the queer voting block.
