"it's also weird you bought them anyway". well, YEAH!!!!! but we love Jeph anyway.
So... was anybody else irrationally jealous that AIs in this universe can just pick out their body?
What’s irrational about it?
I wonder if Bodyhub ever offers a free succulent with a purchase for its promotions. Would it only be for a whole new body, or also for smaller upgrades, such as a new ass or other body asset? The appeal of succulents to AI and how motivating that might be is intriguing.
*Aromatics*. If I were an AI with something similar to my current tastes, a little window herb garden of rosemary and basil and chives and mint and thyme and such would be a *divine* hobby....
I find myself wondering about something. The Bodyhub (and presumably other AI embodiment services) apparently sell standard "models". "The Josefina MX", "that MX" etc. were used in 4342, for instance. The language suggests the same tone that one uses for speaking of phone models or car models. (Roko's body disparity touched on this as well.) And yet, we don't seem to see a lot of duplication of AIs. Or is it just me not noticing? All the "character" AIs seem to have entirely different models (exceptions for Yay etc. being obviously non-distinct for a reason, and maybe Melon and Lemon). I get that from a story-telling perspective, it's easier to have clear distinctions that match the characters, but the variation in body designs would seem to be unmanageable from a retail (Bodyhub) perspective.
That's why I was wondering about the extent of customizability per device.
Just finished re-reading the archives for the umpteeth time (try it next time you have a depressive slump or just a bad day - it really helps) and now I'm champing at the bit for more story. Will May's new body have hot-swappable genitals? Will Yay "redirect" funds to help Roko in her new role as boss? Will Elliot and Clinton be the cutest thing ever? And for the love of god, does Steve have enough cereal?
Find out next time on Questionable Z!
What the hell kind of hats even are those? They look like old-timely British police helmets.
I wonder if getting a part of your body fixed or altered at a smaller business like Union Robotics would invalidate its warranty.
I don't think so, since Roko only got the warranty popup when she was disabling a specific feature
And just thinking aloud, again... Would Grandpa, a small, smiling, wrinkly bald man, fight using... Deja Fu?
I look forward to the future with fully stocked Body stores and completely empty Party stores.
Hmm... Just musing aloud, as it were. If Union Robotics were to go with making physical alterations to their clientele, such as butt expansions, would renaming their shop "Bootyhub" get them in trouble with this store?
Faye and Bubbles might wake up to find a robot horse's head in their bed!
All in favor of Grandpa on Grandpa violence raise your hands.
As a Grandpa, I cannot condone this.
I hope she keeps her hair color
You know, they REALLY need a better party store...
Beeps had to hire her two strippers somewhere, maybe THAT'S the party store we want!
I have only just noticed the "Buy yourself a new ass. You deserve it." sign on the wall, and I can do nothing but giggle about it
Why are there cactuses?
AI's have a fondness for succulents. As demonstrated with Bubbles and her plant Arthur
I just thought of something. If the Josefina has all the bells and whistles, could it allow for adjusting sensory information? Because I could see May "seeing" the "Sexual Activity Pleasure" dial and just cranking that to maximum before she realizes what it'd do. It would likely color her perceptions of everyday life (with corresponding personality shift) until she gets that she needs to dial it back.
Happy birthday, grandma!
Not ball caps even. Would you call those beanies?
I think they might be hard hats.
The "Happy birthday grandma!" throwback has me rolling
More Momo and Beeps cuteness!
No one is ready for Tall May, Marigold...
Mr. Rogers in a blood-stained sweater?
Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny is stuck in my head for the second time in the last three weeks, which is really odd because I went like three years without thinking about it at all.
Please add those excellent hats to your merch. I need one.
I’m so glad Dale, Momo, and Marigold are here too! We’ve come so far from Dale and May sassing at each other that first day! I’m so proud of all of them. :’)
At least it wasn't 'Happy Arbour Day'?
dramatic pause, drumroll and heeeeere's..........(hold that syllable 24 hours..)
Wow... the closing caption is one hell of a throwback... Now I'm going to have Marten's way-too-genuine face stuck in my head. *shiver*
It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Either Northampton constantly has a stunning number of parties, or that store's manager is a rogue sociologist.
If I had to guess? Yes
I have questions. Lots of questions.
"I don't want to get kicked out of the mall" but strippers are A-OK 🤣
Strippers are one thing, but you do NOT want to mess with the IP police. Especially not when you're the walking talking embodiment of IP.
Buy yourself a new ass. You deserve it.
We'll only see her at the end of the week, won't we?
I can see her strolling out and saying ominously "Bring me the fuck boy."
Wearing nothing but the plastic wrap the body ships in.
Marten, Faye, Bubbles, and Claire show up with the Arbor Day banner.
Doesn't Dale usually have facial hair? It's odd to see him without it.
That's a heck of a call back in the comment, love it
I've thought about that joke at least once a week since I first read that page. It haunts me, even now.
