    This comic gives me a lot of complicated feelings

    Makes me pretty melancholy

    I mean this guy's a genius, nobody else in comics does that to me as consistently

    But man, his shit is always so heavy even when it looks light

    the only "modification" i've seen on a PT Cruiser was wood paneling

    this was when I was super deep into nba street vol. 2 so somewhere there is a gamecube memory card with a character named "woody cruiser" on it

    More Dawngate Chronicles. Also was not aware Kindra and Raina were buddies. Well I guess you have to have the shy, determined one and the mass murdering sexual deviant as best buds?
    Also is it a spoiler that Kindra's not dead if literally anyone that's played the game knows otherwise?

    as a robust moba player; lemme just tell you flatout that dawngate is among the worst mobas out there

    the animations are unfluid, the itemization is bland and unimaginative, the character design is about as bland as can be, and i'm just gonna come right out and say that the entire experience of playing dawngate left me sour on mobas as a whole.

    that being said, if anyones got a heros of the storm beta key...

    No shitposting.

    QC is exploring something about robots.

    http://www.questionablecontent.net

    Shouldnt you should hire the people you like in your small business?
    Since robots in qc have a terrible fashion sense or dont care to wear clothes , totally made sense they could not give good fashion advice,

    Also people since ancient times get mad If they got replaced by machines(See metrópolis and astroboy)


    Also If she is mad at humanity she just should find other 6 robots and try to conquer the world

    she's a program she could just get a job as a calculator or something

    Yeah, given what happened when she was last let loose inside the financial system (she just got out of jail for embezzlement) they aren't about to let her back in like that. Plus I guess she figured being a toaster wasn't much fun.

    Hey, she could join the Air Force and work her way up from drone to that fighter she wanted maybe?

    the real tragedy (and triumph) depicted in QC is that we have created artificial intelligences that accept capitalism unquestioningly. That in fact seem to buy into most western social constructs in a very natural manner. That must have been one hell of an emergent phenomena, the day the first AI was born.

    Or maybe they just kill off any that seem too 'weird'. Again, it's what QC doesn't tell you that hints at the dystopia behind it all.

    I was always of the opinion that the complexity of true AI would slow down the mental processes of normal robots to near that of human intelligence, and it would take time (technological evolution) for them to begin to exceed humans

    O Human Star is a comic with robots in it. It has had a bit of sex in it at one point.

    Out of curiousity, can someone name a work of fiction that doesn't make AI into "basically human but with quirks"?

    I can name a bunch that are pretty lazy with the concept of AI, but I can't think offhand of any writer that really thinks about how alien such a mind would be. No wait, I can think of one - the AI in Avogadro Corp.

    Judecca is a comic about certain people never having really seen a bath before and not really knowing what to do with themselves. Also has had nudity and sex in it before.

    I don't really care for the comic that much. Actually not really at all, except for the occasional high points.

    But I find some of this vitriol directed towards JJ the dude to be super over the top and borderline inappropriate?

    Like seriously this thread gets super bent out of shape in disgust when people get personal about a cartoonist we like. Quite rightly, usually!

    But when it's a guy who draws a mostly inoffensive and mostly boring comic, for some reason we're cool with just using that as a sweeping condemnation of everything about the guy or something.

    It can make the thread real unpleasantly nasty, and it doesn't need to be like that? Like we don't need to be nasty to critique a work, it's unnecessary.

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    They've mentioned a few times that the robots can calculate crazy fast but don't really think faster than people because of all the AI stuff.

    Hey, so KC Green and Anthony Clark are starting a webcomic together. It's called Black and while there isn't much beyond a few bits of art yet, it's a western fantasy story about the end of the world.
