However the imagery of the group saving Pomni from falling, and her smiling shows the actual thing keeping them sane and happy is each other. Which makes me worried about Jax since he is the most distant from the group.

2024-05-05 05:26:56 +0000 UTCMy favorite theory is that the original Pomni put on the headset, took it off, and went on with her life. Meanwhile the brainscan it took is now being used to create this personality. An imperfect simulation of the mind might explain why none of them can remember anything from before the circus.

2024-05-05 00:10:50 +0000 UTCI do like the ship, but I absolutely feel like it's more that Ragatha is projecting onto Pomni. Putting all the focus on Pomni. "I hope Pomni's okay!" More concerned that Pomni had a bad first day than the fact that she herself was pummeled into a glitched state and abandoned. Nope! Ragatha isn't suffering and losing her mind! It's Pomni you should all be worried about! If this really is some sort of therapy software, and these are the patients... wow. I think you hit the nail on the head with Pomni. Made to feel like nothing in her real life, chronically depressed. And that really concerns me with Ragatha, typically where that behavior comes from. You see a people pleaser, and I agree, but I also see someone downplaying her own trauma and trying to keep everyone happy. I mean, she's a ragdoll with a missing/damaged eye. That's some... dark imagery.

2024-05-04 17:04:36 +0000 UTCThe teapots are a reference to the utah teapot, one of the first 3d models made using bezier curves instead of using precise measurements. It's basically an in joke between 3d modellers.

2024-05-04 16:40:46 +0000 UTCAs mentioned in another comment, the Utah Teapot is a traditional default 3D model. There's also the Standford bunny, Standford dragon, and an armadillo that I don't know the providence of. They are commonly used in research because they are available under free use licenses. And, apparently, to confuse the fuck out of people who are unfamiliar with the history of 3D animation... but we're all being too nice and explaining it to you instead of using it as an opportunity for another "crickey!" moment... Welcome to the Amazing Digital Circus! Come for the bright, cheerful colors, the calvacade of 3D animation in-jokes, and Mad Max parody. Stay for the psychological horror of NPCs having an existential crisis. (puts on tin foil hat) In Maya, (one of the big 3D animation programs), there is the concept of an "underworld". It was acquited Autodesk, which goes by ADSK, which is close to ADC. So, clearly, the circus is the underworld of Maya. It is literally digital hell. Mosco: "I've only known Gummigoo for five minutes but if anything happens to them..." Patrons: (awkward silence) Caine: "DELETED!"

2024-05-04 16:31:22 +0000 UTCPomni's definitely got some pre-circus trauma. Though the theory she's one of the game's designers also gets a boost with her collisions glitch escape plan. "How long have they been there?" Long enough they've developed actual traditions, like the funerals for something (like abstraction) that can't happen all that often. And why did Caine look so...haunted at the thought of mixing up Humans and NPCs?

2024-05-04 12:04:13 +0000 UTCThe teapots are specifically the Utah teapot, a 3D model that’s been used as a standard reference object in computer graphics for decades and can be considered an in-joke amidst the community for that field. The teapot in the tea party scene in Toy Story is the same model. I feel like its inclusion is a joking tip-off about how constantly under construction the Digital Circus is in-universe
