Just finished the new episode of The Amazing Digital Circus.

Good Lord I feel awful for Gangle...

Like, other than Ragatha being on a literal stupid sauce throughout most of the episode, the Gloink Queen being the Gloink Queen and the Halloween III: Season of the Witch reference (and even that last one was part of a genuinely unnerving scene), there wasn't much levity in this episode at all. It's almost entirely about Gangle and how miserable she feels.

This wasn't a grand or scary adventure like the last few. This episode jurt hurt. Yet despite all that...it still ends on a hopeful note. Not to the same extent as the last two, but still a hopeful and optimistic one. Much like Pomni herself, Gangle isn't alone, and if no one else, it's clear that Zooble and Pomni are trying to be there for her.

While Kinger's episode was insane but surprisingly sweet, Gangle's episode was just...sad.

Fitting I suppose :drshrug:

The pilot/first episode was just about insanity and Pmnni's gradual realization of the virtual nightmare that she had become literally trapped in, but the two after that had strong character development and surprisingly uplifting and optimistic endings thanks to Ragatha, Kinger and the others (except Jax) helping Pomni adapt and inspire her to have hope.

I figured there'd be episodes that delved into far darker and less optimistic territory at some point, and the trailer for Gangle's episode certainly gave me the impression that it'd be the first, but this was much darker than I even anticipated.

In response to your reply to what I said, I did say it was more of a joke now, did I? That should imply that The Game Awards has gotten worse some.

I am not trying to be hard on you, by the way.
it’s all good. I guess I read your post wrong. My fault.

In North America, Nintendo Switch Online added more games to the service in 2024 than any previous years, with 56 games.
While that’s a super good dump of games, it’s too late in the cycle to care. I wish Nintendo would not start from scratch each gen.

It always feels like we’re about to collapse as a society. Can we just get it over with and collapse already so we can start rebuilding?
Society isn’t even remotely close to collapsing.
