Going Out With A Bang

damn, that's efficient - able to talk, move and throw someone out at 1% power left.
I would guess that it's idiomatic in AI culture
By the way, can I start using "...and I'm at about 1% battery..." too? It could come in handy in any number of situations.
No rule saying you can't, go for it
If you *were* ending the strip, this would be the way to do it. :) ...but *DON'T!*
God I ship them so hard
I sure hope it's a joke.
Anyone who thinks for a millisecond that Yay would acknowledge something else as their overlord is not paying attention.
Even the willingness to make this joke is a sign of emotional growth for them.
If you didn’t plan this strip to coincide with the start of a vacation, you really missed a trick.
not to be a nit picker, but Roko's door has a peep hole
I thought I was the only one who noticed that.
I'm interested in why the AIs speak to each other in human language, specifically at human speeds. I'd think they must have much faster and more efficient methods of communication. Maybe we only see a split second of the whole conversation? 🤓
IIRC it's been established that AIs don't think at superhuman speeds, a lot of processing power goes into maintaining consciousness or something like that. (Though that probably doesn't apply to Yay.) And I feel like the speech probably isn't slowing them down significantly compared to the speed they think at.
No boom today... Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.
Gives a whole new meaning to "and then they all banged".
Roko get signal?
Yay set us up the bomb!
NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! Can't destroy the QCverse yet! We still need a Pintsize + Melon arc. Barry the Whale Wanker will be their best man.
Well, glad you're ending the comic on your terms. I didn't expect an alien invasion or a giant bomb that destroys the world
Maybe it’s a very small amount of AM? (Pop!)
Where's the earth shattering kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!
(insert .gif of Heath Ledger as The Joker in a nurse costume, looking confused)
I ship it.
It would be fantastic if the next comic was just the earth exploding and then Jeph was like "well that's the end of QC" I don't want it to end I just think it'd be a fantastic way to troll all of us.
Next week, on Quantifiable Concerns
Yay is making the same joke Hannelore did. I wonder if they'd get along.
"Enjoy our limited-time free delivery offer on Ellicott-Chatham's Supreme Overlord Pizza! Instant, tasty death or it's free!" https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3046
This is actually just Jeph trying to find a way to end this comic so they can do something else.
Ah, so Yay is Special Circumstances?
Yay chanelling Pintsize? (Inconceivable!)

Well at least it isn't Emperor Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada she's contacting!
Bring on any overlord that can run things better than what we do now. EDIT: This isn't me trying to start a political shit-fight. I'm not endorsing anyone. I mean world-wise, SPECIES-wise, we should be doing better than we are.
Roku thru the door, "Did I mention it's been a shitty day? And now, you're promising to put me out of my misery."
And yet, I am lining up to bang Yay. Yes, I'll probably die, or get disassembled, or assimilated, or vaporized and then inhaled, but dang........sign me up anyway.
...Good night, your Q'xness.
Banging Yay.is a little intimidating. How many of the bodies would be involved? What selection of customizable bits and connectors would be present? For meatsacks it's difficult enough, but for an AI the potential for all sorts of overloading/overclocking/oversharing is dire.
Have you watched Sense8 on Netflix yet? I bet a bit like that! https://www.out.com/popnography/2015/6/24/filming-polysexual-sense8-orgy-scene
...and this one made me think of grandpa saying "yes, you're very smart, shut up".
Irritatingly, there’s really only a 50% chance Yay is lying.
Ohh, is this how we get to the Alice Grove timeline?
On the one hand, I'm happy to see Yay show their sense of humor. On the other hand, I totally double-dog dare Jeph to take a few days off and settle in with a tub of popcorn to watch the reactions.
It's pronounced Q-Yay-laugh. Silly mortals.
I've seen worse endings. I greatly enjoyed the strip, Jeph. It was good while it lasted 💜
I honestly wouldn't even be angry.
This is not entirely surprising as we know Yay enjoys some RPG action.
Tomorrow: It’s Steve trying out a new breakfast! (Malaysian Egg Floss! It’s like Chinese pork floss, but with eggs!)
I tried that, but the net result was more stuff stuck in my teeth, not less.
And can anyone imagine Yay acknowledging anyone as their superior?
It’s secretly Melon.
If you're gonna go silly, ya' gotta stay silly until there's nobody left to be silly toward!
Yay, no! Go out with the OTHER kind of bang! 🥺
I like yay’s bangs. I’d go out with those on my head.
💚💚💚 I don’t get inspired to comment very often, but something about this panel I love extra than normal. I think cuz I like these two together, they’re fun and interesting to see interact.
And learning about human humor as well I see
Bubbles is on the other end of that phone call...
Ah, the plot thickens!
Who is this 4chan?
But... they haven't banged yet
Of course they haven't. We don't even know how Yay feels about bread!
Yay is unintentionally one of the most adorable characters in QC
Yay is definitely learning!
It's lucky that Yay doesn't realize how adorable they are.
last qc ever
It's been an honor serving with you. See you on the other side.
I love and support Silly Yay.
boom. Pro tip: the key to a seamless assimilation begins with learning the proper pronunciation of “Q’xakth”.
“Que•Yax•lath?”
