Ok I am just so curious as to how Caine’s ai software or programming works (or what sort of content he was trained on anyways) because

On stories where high-stakes stuff happens? Action esc stories? I find it interesting for this “game” setting Caine is always choosing these highly stressful adventures because he wants to capture the circus members attention and hearts, an audience (which I know in a meta way is us the viewer but that’s not the point of this post) but like it just does not work towards his goal of making the members happy and he keeps sticking to what he knows or think he knows will make them happy- he tries to take in suggestions and then is like oh shit:

I’M not working, what I know isn’t true. Nope. Time to think about what more to do.

And I also like this theme of self-worth issues that keep coming up

Caine is NOT like him but I wonder if he was trained in a similar way to psychopathic ai bot researchers trained on Reddit content (as in, just fed a certain type of content which makes him keep going back to certain adventures and it’s making him bias to what he think the circus members want vs what they actually want)

Very much an ai vs human situation, assumed wants vs actual wants and needs

And tangentially related I wonder if the turning point is gonna be Caine getting so genuinely frustrated with the circus members he ends up getting violent/mean in a dangerous way (kinda hinted at in ep.4 with Jax and Zooble conversing about Caine)

One of my mutuals opinions is the "bro code" thing, that Curly is one of those guys who wouldn't care about the victim because the perpetrator is his friend and I'm really banging my head on the wall like that other anon. I've only played through the game once but Curly's behaviour/reactions etc read completely different from the "bro code" thing and I have to wonder if my mutual and I even played the same game.. like the constant digs at him from Jimmy, his body language in his face reveal and so on like you mentioned in your post. While this game is a little different obviously, it kind of reminded of a point in Alice Madness Returns that makes it very clear that Alice's pain blinded her to the abuse of the other children and her failure to act earlier because of it. Curly is guilty of a similar inaction but it doesn't change the fact he was a victim of Jimmy too. I don't think I can look at it any other way because both of these games have really stuck with me.

I genuinely think it really is the idea that people want a simple easy to blame problem and the idea that the only relatable victims of abuse are those that "surpass" it or do a lot to help others. When it comes to victims, especially those that don't fit the typical demographics, who either accidently perpetuate it, enable it or aren't ideal in some way shape or form, people jump to ignore what they went through as it's easier than dealing with those conflicting sentiments.

The bro-code conversation in Mouthwashing stems from a concept I generally dislike that there had to be something about Curly that made him meet or keep being friends with someone like Jimmy. I think people genuinely underestimate how many like decent and good people just know an asshole or are friends with someone who is really bad outside of their view/established dynamics. The game makes it clear none of the inaction against Jimmy is because of a lack of care, it is a lack of understanding from the privaleged postions they have as men to not have to worry about what Anya does/went through and the type of extremes men like Jimmy will go through to cover it up. They are all too preoccupied in their own strifes.

Another thing I see being oversaturated the idea that you have to be a freak, misanthrope or have a disorder to do the thing Jimmy does. The game is an escalation, it's a spiral that I don't see people comment on that Jimmy was not likely having the mood swings and episodes of rage/frustration we were seeing in the game. This is after they all start experiencing the worst moments in their lives that he got THAT openly bad. Of course, this is just my interpretation but much like in real life, people that go to extremes like that usually live mundane lives. It's a pressure cooker affect to where the stress made them pop. It's self inflicted but still the case.

I really think people need to be more willing to acknowledge that not everything needs to be an extreme or in black and white or easy to understand. It doesn't need to be happy or have an answer or solution, especially in the cases where the abused sadly helps perpetuate what they experience. It's not he should've known better from experience or shouldn't he have known what could've happened because victims tend to not like to think in matters of the worst. Not to mention, especially in cases of abuse where it feels so personally directed that you don't expect to happen to someone else.

game dev is such an alluring thing to try to do bc its a kind of media that allows for such an active and direct way to interact with others like most things just dont

im still dreaming of trying it every now and again but, among my other problems, i run into the more unique problem of .. not knowing or not wanting to start bc i cant find tutorials that teach me about how i structure code, where do i begin, where does a script go, what makes sense to seperate into its own piece of code and what should stay together, what do i do first?? i have found ones that teach you about single things but never really how to structure it all, how it should look like as a whole, and idk what mental wall i run into but i need to know before i can even try!! its the not knowing where to start that keeps blocking me bc i dont want to make a mess, i am very chaotic and code is something hard to get right and hard to untangle so i dont want to just .. do stuff that wont work

for dan's birthday i would like to dedicate my glitching platformer game to him, since it's the golden pig falling through the floor and thus making the game unable to be played and i hope dan would appreciate that

I hate getting haircuts so much that I'm genuinely considering chopping my hair off with craft scissors. Fuck it. Shitty DIY mullet. What's stopping me.
