It's a hipster bar, you want people to notice what beer you're drinking. Or it's a honky-talk bar way outside of town that can't afford kegs and taps and all that expensive stuff.

Doug has a point, but then there's the fact that pouring into a glass releases more aroma, which is what the AIs would be appreciating if they ordered one, so wouldn't serving the "usual" way be the norm here anyway?

That's what I get for relying on my own memory! Also, have we really had two timeskips? Not just the one?
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-18 22:54:35 +0000 UTC
Actually Dora and Tai were already together at that point, but certainly pre-engagement. It was at least two timeskips ago, rough estimate I'd say probably somewhere between one and two years.

You can 'get halfway there' on personal revelations. Sven first got to 'What I'm doing isn't working for me' and then once her stepped back from the man-whore a bit he realized that there was and emptiness. Now he has finally accepted the root of the issue that he had been plastering over for years, he is lonely.

Possibly 2 if he manages to revise their take on the close-up vibe.
Mark
2024-08-18 09:50:35 +0000 UTC
So if Sven has been in therapy since the last blow-up with Dora... How long has he been in therapy for 🤔
Vibes-wise, it doesn't sound like THAT long, but obviously in real-world time it's been years. And in comic time by rights it should have been at least a couple of years, given that Dora got together with Tai and got engaged in that time.
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-18 09:17:46 +0000 UTC

Ahh, quality over quantity. I've only been with a handful of ladies, but those I was with, I was with a LOT. Personally, I find it more fun once you've learned what a partner likes.
Also, I just said "a handful of ladies" and I find that funny because it sounds like the title of an 80's cock-rock album.

the real question is if Sven is Pintsize's type!

That was before the time skip, so at least a few months.
BookBeard
2024-08-18 02:14:15 +0000 UTC
I honestly feel bad for Sven, he has had a massive change in his life since he dated Faye (and then blew that up with his own stupidity). For the first time he saw what could be, but was drawn back by what was familiar (well, his DICK is familiar).
Anyhow, I think he might have actually been finding a connection with May but his better nature made him decline once he had helped her buy a new body. I wonder if I he will reconsider that. He might try what he tried with Faye, just reappearing around May and see how she reacts. Perhaps if SHE is the one to initiate, he might go for it?
Ahhh, who are we kidding? He is leaving here with a lovely lady, be she human or AI. That is my bet.
SilverbackRon
2024-08-18 02:12:04 +0000 UTC
But is Pintsize really Sven's type?
I mean... can you imagine Sven being in a relationship with a blue AI with a criminal background that enjoys horrifying pornography and hides the fact that they actually care for people behind crude jokes and sexual innuendo?
oh... wait...

Sean Kinlin
2024-08-18 01:36:08 +0000 UTC
Because for as much as it is reasonable for Sven to feel lonely after not forming any real meaningful emotional connections over the past who-knows-how-many-years, he's also complaining about how much it sucks that he's been having, and I quote, "tons of sex with all kinds of beautiful women".

Logan Nix

Sven talking about his feelings is the ultimate irony. He's a notorious womanizer who avoids emotional connection like the plague, historically

Several years in real time, a few weeks in QC time... maybe. I could be guessing.
