Stephen Wells
2025-01-13 10:30:08 +0000 UTCWhen AIs are embarrassed/aroused they tend to vent coolant through their neck seams, We have seen this happen with: Roko confronted with lots of bread; Bubbles thinking about being Faye's "commanding officer". And now this...
Stephen Wells
2025-01-13 10:29:49 +0000 UTCKindly listen to Jez Lowe's "A Dream of Steam and Freedom", e.g., on YouTube. At least someone still has something good to say about steam.
Ursus Ridens
2025-01-13 02:37:20 +0000 UTCthat is a neck seam that all A.I.s except for Yay have. It is venting steam in this case.

Captain Button
2025-01-12 22:11:56 +0000 UTCIs iris wearing a necklace, or is it a seam that ends up leaking in the last panel?
A. J. Alfieri-Crispin
2025-01-12 21:42:48 +0000 UTCI'm no longer certain I could make her worse but I still wanna make out with her
Fart Captor
2025-01-12 19:47:31 +0000 UTCyes I am
Jason Holmes
2025-01-12 19:41:04 +0000 UTCThere are 2046 of Melon and they're all Like That :)
Stephen Wells
2025-01-12 17:56:09 +0000 UTCYou might need to get your steam venting looked into.

David Durant
2025-01-12 17:17:53 +0000 UTCWillow knows Iris is all bark and no bite. ~<3
Mitsuki Ayane
2025-01-12 16:35:17 +0000 UTCEvery time Willow shows up I get reinforced in my belief Jeph somehow knows my wife and is basing a character off her. Literally all she needs is pink hair and its her.
Jason Holmes
2025-01-12 16:24:52 +0000 UTCYeah.... I sent him a message in the Q&A thing here, hoping he sees it! Hope more folks send messages too!
Jody Raiford
2025-01-12 15:57:22 +0000 UTCWillow has root with Iris.

Sean Kinlin
2025-01-12 15:15:25 +0000 UTCI guess she's having an attitude thruster malfunction...

2025-01-12 15:13:07 +0000 UTCIt went down the same day that "Director's cut month" started, so I assumed that it would come back when new comics resumed... but it hasn't!

2025-01-12 13:41:27 +0000 UTCI guess I have to buy a commission, and the commission is just "fix the RSS"

2025-01-12 10:16:03 +0000 UTCIris is being hit with her weakness, Willow, she's fighting herself because Willow told her to. ~<3
Mitsuki Ayane
2025-01-12 09:21:09 +0000 UTCSo that's why May has always been nicer to Marigold xD Legacy code!
enchantedsleeper
2025-01-12 09:02:37 +0000 UTCIt's not dissimilar to Roko and Yay xD

2025-01-12 09:01:12 +0000 UTCThat "yaoi" hat is still one of my favourite gags
Bagge
2025-01-12 08:45:23 +0000 UTCThat is a VERY good point. I will bear that in mind.

Uniquitous
2025-01-12 04:28:14 +0000 UTCRIP Iris. Turns out that it _would_ kill her to be nice for once.
Sammitch
2025-01-12 04:18:52 +0000 UTCThis is wrong. As amusing as Iris often is, when someone says the opposite behaviour is "good" for them, it's not.
SpookyPenguin
2025-01-12 04:07:55 +0000 UTCRIP Iris. Died of nice.

2025-01-12 03:48:15 +0000 UTCI just like the implication that no matter what apartment they're in, no matter which building, Melon is always living just upstairs.
BookBeard
2025-01-12 03:42:42 +0000 UTCShe's like if vocal fry was a sentient AI.

2025-01-12 03:09:03 +0000 UTCSomewhere deep within Iris's core programing is an inexplicably Scottish subroutine shouting in panic, "Nay Cap'n, she's gonna blow!"

Dissociated Women Incorporated
2025-01-12 02:43:25 +0000 UTCIris would DIE in the Midwest.
schmod
2025-01-12 02:41:40 +0000 UTCYou wouldn't like her when she's nice
schmod
2025-01-12 02:41:20 +0000 UTCDoes Union Robotics have the tooling for that?
Captain Button
2025-01-12 02:26:54 +0000 UTCMaking Iris be nice could be fatal, like that Star Trek TOS episode where they are forcing Spock to have emotions.
Captain Button
2025-01-12 02:25:06 +0000 UTCShe died doing what she hated, trying to not hate everything
Stephen Jeffrey

Emily Roberts
2025-01-12 02:21:06 +0000 UTCAnd that is why Iris has no head and there's a hole in the ceiling. (Hi, Melon!)
Doc Gumby

Maurice Kessler
2025-01-12 02:11:18 +0000 UTCShe looks in more pain each time she wants to be nicer :)
Colin Hay
2025-01-12 02:08:40 +0000 UTCDoes she need to go into the shop for an attitude adjustment?

David Durant
2025-01-12 01:49:49 +0000 UTCI don't recall another coolant release that wasn't arousal or embarrassment related. What does this imply for Iris being scolded by Willow?

Sean Kinlin
2025-01-12 01:28:46 +0000 UTCAmusing, Iris seems to be having a race malfunction, where she's trying to perform two operations simultaneously. It doesn't work for small computers, and it doesn't seem to work for sentient AIs either.

Sean Kinlin
2025-01-12 01:27:49 +0000 UTCDoes she mean that this is beneficial for Iris, or that, for Iris, this *is* being good?
