Panel 4 is the most hilarious face I have ever seen on Roko.

They're pretty close to the same age then, right?
2021-12-10 02:29:02 +0000 UTC
I don't fully understand how the QC retcon works (since Pintsize and Winslow are around), but my reading of this comic was that the Singularity must've been longer ago if two years seems amusingly young to Roko. (Not too long ago either, I guess, for the sake of our human characters, but maybe five years or so?)

So at least she remembers SOME of the manual, then?
David Howe

So...were they "born" right around the time the Singularity happened? Remember that?

I dunno, if it does that face when they shut it off it might be a bit of a tell.

I don't watch TV either, and the reference is completely lost on me

Because I don't watch TV, I was trying to figure out what this had to do with Todd "Spawn" MacFarlane.

Tsundere yay can power a whole city with that pout.

Itโs fine Yay 2 years QC time is like... ten years real time. Youโre a preteen!

the rest of them seem to stay home and lounge about a lot
2021-12-09 06:47:52 +0000 UTC
waiiit, i thought it didn't go that far with pintsize XD i don't think i considered it cause i thought the bread thing with him as a one off joke XD

B^U indeed.

Oh no, Yay is not too cool for feelings any more (or have been in a long time, really)

Roko is learning new things about her body all the time.

Confirmed: First appearance ~4 years ago, in #3391 dated in 2017.
RoofPig

Ok, so what happened about two years ago in the strip storyline? I assume we can't just look two years ago in "real world" dates to find an originating event...
RoofPig
2021-12-09 03:22:35 +0000 UTC
Roko keeps her word!!
Shawn K. Younkin
2021-12-09 03:16:32 +0000 UTC
I had no idea Roko has a One Punch Man mode.
Miyaa
2021-12-09 03:13:31 +0000 UTC
Yeah, but given Yay's multi-existence, their lived experience is also multiplied.

This comic makes me robosexual.

I love Romo's lettering change in the last panel.

Well, I would kinda like to see an AI remake of this:

I first read that as "incompressibly" powerful, and I started wondering if they ever ran out of storage.

The comic sans is such a fabulous touch
amblam

It would be hilarious to see the reactions of the other bodies of Yay whilst they have the conversation with Roko of had their conversation with Aurelia

I am just loving Rokoโs expression and stance in the second panel.

The amount of time that passes in QC is pretty elastic. How much time, in the comic, has passed since Marten met Faye?
Czarzhan
2021-12-09 02:46:01 +0000 UTC
Yay are definitely learning "Sullen"
Todd Ellner
2021-12-09 02:41:49 +0000 UTC
Probably not aliens.

The friend is me, I also have this question.
Meg Taylor
2021-12-09 02:33:32 +0000 UTC
So Yay was basically a newly minted super-powerful multi-bodied cryptic AI when they decided to assist Bubbles? And newly minted by whom?
Populuxe
2021-12-09 02:29:26 +0000 UTC
Just, a little more gay you two. Plz
Fart Captor

Since we saw Roko surveiling the underground robot fighting ring, it stands to reason she is possibly older than Yay.
Michael Boettger
2021-12-09 02:25:37 +0000 UTC
โฆso say for example someone has been ignoring Seth MacFarlane and his output for pretty much his entire career: how would one explain the joke to them? (asking for a friend)
Mad Marie
2021-12-09 02:24:12 +0000 UTC
NOPE! TOTALLY DO NOT WANT TO SEE THESE TWO STRIP DOWN AND WRESTLE IN A POOL OF WD-40! NOT A BIT! DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT JEPH!

Time passes slowly when youโre incomprehensibly powerful.
Matt Grayson
2021-12-09 02:23:48 +0000 UTC
This promises to be an extremely awkward conversation for Yay, isn't it?
I wonder if they are referring to their consciousness inception or embodiment.
It does give an outside date re their intervention with Bubbles and present day
Michael Boettger
2021-12-09 02:23:18 +0000 UTC
The fact that Yay started out as our sinister little SpookyBot and has turned into an angsty teenager is immensely fulfilling
2021-12-09 02:23:00 +0000 UTC
Oh Jeph already made this joke. Thank god, I almost had an original thought

2021-12-09 02:22:19 +0000 UTC
Because they act aloof & all-powerful. As if they know everything (like a bratty kid)
Elberik
2021-12-09 02:22:16 +0000 UTC
I'm guessing she assumed Yay was at least 13 or something
Elberik
2021-12-09 02:21:10 +0000 UTC
Hrgnnnn I want them to cuddle ๐ฅบ
Fart Captor

How old is Roko?
Andrea Andrew

This is really interesting to see Yay be so vulnerable.
