Am I too old to know these characters or too young?
Edit: Too old it seems.
"The Amazing Digital Circus", an indie animation show on youtube.
I have a 13 year old daughter, which is how I know. Trying to appreciate what shes into has us watching it as a family.
But, ngl, its pretty dogshit. It is this generations version of "lol so random, cheeze" entertainment with a healthy dose of "im14andthisisdeep" edgyness. The kind of writing that only a 13 year old, or someone with the mental maturity of a 13 year old could appreciate.
Animation is pretty solid though, especially for a small indie team, so, I'll give it praises for that.
And the fandom is fucking insufferable. Exactly the kind of fandom you'd expect full of 13 year old quirky edgelords.
I happened upon the show randomly and find it pretty charming, but even while watching for the first time I thought, "ooh, I bet this one's online fandom is a disaster area."
Damn, I have the exact opposite opinion on the show.
I think it's clever and has some fun moments of subversion in the writing and the plots may be meandering but they all make sense inside the reality of the world the characters are in.
Then again I never interact with the fandom and I just watch it because I like the show and find it fun. Mid 30s dude here so take it for what it's worth. Of course, with all the drugs, I might just have the mental maturity of a 13 year old by now so maybe that's why I like it.
In the latest episode we get to see the outright answer for this for Cain / Kinger
As you can see, the circus (managed by Cain the AI) uses an oldschool Windows OS, looks to be 98?
Kinger then uses CMD to ssh into some bash shell, I dunno if we get much view of what kind of OS it is, but it appears to be possibly a systemd flavor?
We also get to see that the circus was programmed in Lisp in the latest 90s, which sounds about right
Based on what we know about the laws of how the circus works, these indicate a manifestation of how these 2 characters mentally work with OSes.
Cain works in windows 98.
Kinger on the other hand visualizes stuff with linux!
I viewed this more like Kinger used windows 98 at work, but Cain works like an embedded device running a linux kernal he can ssh into
Hmmm, that might be true, or specifically the the whole circus env is one? It does say kinger@circus as his target, interesting!
Hold on, the files for Caine's and Bubble's AI are written in lisp! Pretty nice detail they added there, since LISP was commonly used in early AI developments. Didn't notice it before.
Without knowing anything about this show, I'm guessing the Shirley Temple looking girl is friendly and normie and the chess piece in the middle is old and nutty? Those are my two.
shirley temple? who that
I felt that deep in my soul. :-/
A very famous child actor from the 1930s. I thought she played little orphan Annie, but I just looked it up, and I guess I was wrong!
Ragatha and Kinger.
Highly recommend the show. If you know the story of "I have no mouth and I must scream.", it's essentially that, but not as horrifying.
Ah, Ragatha! I'm just now connecting that she looks like a Raggedy Ann doll.
The chess piece is Kinger and yea heβs the oldest and a bit nutty most of the time
There's no way in hell Cain uses Gentoo. I mean he's a control freak so it would track to a certain extent but he's a very busy creature and he does not have time to wait for the linux kernel to recompile while he's got adventures to build. Honestly I'd put him on Mac (because he's a creative) or maybe NixOS (for control without gentoo's eternal rebuild cycles)
I will never understand this association of "creatives" (extremely vague term) with apple products
i think it's because macos has all the stuff for drawing, editing, etc, while also not being windows
but yeah it's weird
Zooble using arch is hella accurate
according to this meme my favorite uses my favorite yayyyy
Same
so it checks out :3
Jax is edgy enough to say that sure he would use kali or something like that lol.
He'd claim to exclusively use TempleOS or Hannah Montana Linux just to be a little shit about it.
Still uses windows 7 but says he's using some linux distro like steamOS
that was my 1st thought too, but i changed it :3
Where fedora at?
Kinger (or Gangle)
While Pomni is the hesitant type from time to time, she is also energic and not afraid of using her brain. So I think something like Fedora is more fitting for her. Gets the job done while allowing tinkering.
Mint on the other hand I would assign to Gangle. Calm and hard to break.
I see you've lumped me in with the NixOS crowd and I take great offense to this
A lot of us left arch for nix so I guess it tracks.
