Very nice.It is one thing to suspend your disbelief. It is another thing entirely to hang it by the neck until dead.
Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.
The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
new thread!
“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

I don't like it. Can't we just, like clean the old one, or something? It was still good!

The old one was a pile of rubbish with poo on the walls. This one's going to stay nice and clean. I just know it.

Was it ever answered how Pintsize holds things? Does he have suction pads on his... forearms?

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
Can I just take a moment to express that robots are really freaking cool? This is something that comes up surprisingly infrequently in this thread.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
I am now sad I didn't think of the thread title "It's a Doozy" until now.
But maybe the phonetic connection between dozen and doozy wouldn't be quite so apparent.

Robot sex dungeon..
..you know, I'd immediately say no, but considering what we knew about Punchbot and others, this actually makes a lot of sense.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
Was just on a random archive binge and found this: "We have a tournament for that, as well"
So I'm not so sure if Evie is actually that much off with her suspicion...

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
Stop linking to the archives, I have things to do damnit.
Also, I think she did that with her hair on purpose or something.Last edited by Max_Killjoy; 2018-01-22 at 09:41 PM.

Yeah, I would kinda like to see Jeph write a light sci fi with an editor. He has some great concepts, just not the best execution.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
I had to look up "ontological". Webcomics are so educational.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
This is exactly the same comment that I came here to make. Yesterday's comic was bad enough, where all it did was explain the comic before that, but this is getting tedious.
We GET IT; Evie knows a lot about robots. Now you're becoming insufferable because your girlfriend has travelled over half a dozen states to visit her big sister for the first time in... over a year? At the very least, since she broke up with her boyfriend, got out of hospital, started going to AA AND seeing a therapist, lost her job (twice) and started up her own business and you're STILL talking about yourself and your PhD subject.~ CAUTION: May Contain Weasels ~

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
Shes making conversation about what she knows. If the others didn't want to hear it, they'd stop her or change the subject instead of... joining in.
I've really had it with this constant assuming the worst of the new characters.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
Agreed if someone wants to talk about another topic they will do so (unless you don't let them switch topic but there is no evidence of that behavior currently). If they don't look like you are boring them and they don't want to talk about another topic there is no problem with talking about stuff you know about.

Re: Questionable Content 12: Artificial Unintelligence
It's an interesting topic and directly relevant to something that just recently happened to all of them. Why wouldn't they talk of it?
