Well, this just got interesting. Looks like our rescue party will need a rescue party for their own

Honestly not reading a lot off of the community posts, a few small hints yeah, but nothing really significant to look forward to. I’m much more interested in the teaser and music preview (linked above). Going into the episode, I still stand by my thoughts I shared on the music preview post

WeirdAlex03, 1 month ago

After watching:

• Called it! I misplaced the music cue from the preview, but I’m giving myself a pat on the back for putting Pomni abstracting as just a dream/nightmare used to open the episode
• A little surprised there was no opening theme here though, I was looking forward to seeing how the original was going to be revised to replace Kaufmo with Pomni
• Interesting that Bubble (and by extension probably also Caine and all the other NPCs/AIs) can swear normally; only the human characters have that diegetic filter
• I take it Gangle is destined to immediately have her comedy mask broken at the start of every episode, and for Ragatha to be injured in some way?
  • And Jax throws an aside glance to the camera and Pomni gets separated from the others in the climax
  • And apparently the theme will be remixed for the final emotional moment of the episode
• Wow Jax is just an absolute asshole this episode! I wonder if this was meant to counter all the Jax love from Episode 1?
  • Though we do see at the end of the episode he was sad for Kaufmo for just a split second before catching himself and acting annoyed again – it’s clear this whole thing was just supposed to be a distraction for him and it obviously wasn’t distracting enough.
• On that note: overall a much different tone to the pilot here, really putting the “psychological dark” in “psychological dark comedy” here
• Really nice how Pomni got some character development here, being able to open up more with Gummigoo and seeing from the funeral that the other cast members actually care about each other and revising the abstraction nightmare to have them all reach out and grab her
• RIP Gummigoo 😭
  • So Caine absolutely confused a human for an NPC at one point and brutally murdered them in such a terrible way that even he feels remorse … such emotion with so little face…
• Almost no Zooble at all this episode! We could guess from the teasers that they were skipping the adventure again, but I expected at least a B plot with them “hanging out” with Caine in the circus
• I will say there were a few times where the voice acting felt just a little off, but overall it was still very good, especially in the more emotional scenes

In the end: looking forward to episode 3! (and rewatching this plenty more times along the way)

The TLD TL;DR is basically that domains don’t come out of nowhere. Just like how you need a lemmy.zip domain to be able to have the subdomains next.lemmy.zip or old.lemmy.zip, in order to have the domain lemmy.zip you must first have someone to run the .zip top-level domain (in this case, Google)

Like Forester mentioned in the other comment, you can have any combination of letters you want as a TLD, you just have to set up and manage all the infra for it (or find somebody else to do it for you)

Well Kikimora, at least you deserve something for your efforts:

It’s interesting how it’s so similar yet so different to the final product. A lot more interesting and engaging, too, this would’ve hooked me in a lot earlier than the actual show did

• BI as a travel hub? What are all those other dimensions about?
• I wonder if that first demon Luz meets was an inspiration for Kikimora. Obviously it became the fairy and guard in ep 1, but idk, still getting some slight Kiki vibes from it too
• Imo much more convincing reason for Luz to want to stay in the Isles
• Hints of Lumity from episode 1? I wonder how the people would’ve reacted to Luz’s “questing in all the right ways” comment from 1x02 Witches Before Wizards if that happened after this (obviously by “the people” I mean “Twitter” and by “I wonder” I mean "accusations of queerbaiting thrown left and right, bisexuality be damned)
• I wonder if Amity was already planned to be Lilith’s protégé? That would’ve been an interesting conflict as they warmed up to each other
• But Eda secretly working for the Emperor‽‽‽ Certainly doesn’t seem like she was very happy about the arrangement. Really curious about how that was going to play out, especially w.r.t. her relation to Lilith

“Healing spell can neutralize it, but barely”

“So it can be killed”

“Yeah but no way I can deal with all of them”

sniffs Yup, that smells like foreshadowing

Wow, this is honestly probably one of Mark’s most adult comics. At the very least it exceeds the show’s age rating, because flipping the bird is still technically an explitive, so I think that would make it TV-PG. But TOH is just TV-Y7-FV.

(Yes, I did look up the Wikipedia page for the TV Parental Guidelines just to write this comment. Why do you ask?)

It’s just your OpenStreetMap username, doesn’t have to a real name. You can set “your name” to be some anonymous gibberish if you’d like

That’s why Belos is so evil

You actually can’t. I think you should be able to, but currently you can’t. You can post from Masto to Lemmy by tagging the Lemmy community in the top level post, but tagging in a reply does nothing

In fact actually you can’t even really crosspost from Lemmy to Lemmy. Posts that link to the same thing are lists as cross posts, but aren’t actually directly related. Text-only posts can’t be recognized as crossposts at all
