HAVENT MADE REBOOT ART SINCE JUNE UGH

[therobotmonster]

If you're planning on doing a 'inspirations for Amazing Digital Circus'...

And you're planning on mentioning Poppy the Performer:

You are incorrect.

It's Reboot.

It's always been Reboot.

Not that Sub-Williams-Street-level shock-schlock.

The whole fucking setup is homage-de-Reboot by way of Five Characters in Search of An Exit (Twilight Zone). Even the connections to "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" are surface-level at best, in a 'buncha humans trapped by an AI" way, but it ends there.

On the other hand, Caine's adventures are the equivalent of each episode of Reboot's game-cubes (not that one),

Transplanting the characters into new roles in dangerous, frightening scenarios that are meant to be enjoyable fun.

Defeat results in being transformed into a dangerous seemingly nonsapient squiggly THING.. only instead of being nullified if you lose the game, you get abstracted if you lose your grip.

There's more than a little Hexadecimal in both Caine and Gangle.

If you're doing a video based on an homage to 90s animation, it might behoove you to research the first full length all-CGI animated cartoon.

I mean, the Reboot connection is more obvious than Jax being a parody/expy of Max from Sam & Max, and that's blindingly fucking obvious.

"I'm the funny one, Sam."

I wonder what made more of an impact on GooseWorx, a highly re-run animated series that would have been on the air when they were a toddler/young gradeschooler and is also a literal milestone in CGI animation history, or an obscure chunk of sophomoric Japanese shock-art? Hmmm.

And while we're at it. While there's an AI in I have No Mouth and I Must Scream, the 'hell is other people' aspect of No Exit seems far more apt to the scenario they're in, especially in light of its semi-adaptation for the Twilight Zone:

And no, it isn't just that there's a clown.

Those that are younger will know the No Exit concept from The Good Place.

And I think the situation is going to be far more "No Exit" than it is going to be IHNMAIMS, because I don't think there's an 'out' for them to get to. Digital files never get transferred, they get copied.

They're all ghosts of people who haven't even died yet

Binary gender? No thanks, I prefer hex gender. If there are not at least 16 options count me out.
