Akinator, the 20 questions game, got linked in the CAD thread and playing I discovered that he knew Boxbot but not Robox. Just terrible. I had to teach him.

There needs to be a "random Gunnerkrigg page" button so that I can waste more time at work.

But you'd only hit it once, then read forward from there.

It's not exactly what you're asking, but some anonymous My Little Ponies fan or collection of fans spent hundreds of dollars forcing MLP avatars onto TFR posters. It's oddly colorful in there.

Yeah it's an interesting thing that happens sometimes.

For a while every single remotely regular poster in the cigar and pipes thread had my lil' parrotfrog. The entire thread was confusing and there was an adorable parrotfrog line dance going on.

Well THAT sure is interesting! Tell me: can robots use touchscreens? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

Man they sell gloves that work with those, can't be too hard to put the same crap under a robot's skin.

The gloves also cost a lot so I didn't get them but I thought their existence was neat.

Coyote's whole deal reminds me of the themes that Neil Gaiman uses in American Gods and Anansi Boys. I like it, and I hope we learn more about it in time.

He does seem have that whole deal of being extremely powerful in some weird way that depends on the stories people tell about him goin' on.

Man those were both fun books.

So there is a webcomic poll going around, and I thought I'd participate. When I looked at the results afterwards, I found that Gunnerkrigg is currently trailing behind Looking For Group and Goblins. This just won't do.

Oh for fucks sake that poll. XKCD is second place? Anyone at all voted for Pibgorn?

How does a company place a book at that high a value?

Apparently some sellers have a thing that's set to determine the price automatically based on what the other sellers are using. This can and has resulted in hilarious feedback loops that just keep raising the price until someone notices and stops it.

Yeah Coyote not being a liar and being incapable of lying are different things.

Though all we really know about him is that he is always Up To Something.

I'm not sure it was necessarily an etheric rocket; it looks a lot like an alcubierre drive might look.

Well, etheric means would be a decently handwavey thing to provide the energy for that.

However, Kat was able to make anti-gravity in complete ignorance of etheric means being A Thing so who knows!

Trickster does not mean harmless! Loki, the trickster god of the Nordic pantheon, at various times took body parts from others in his jokes, including Odin's eye.

A better example of Loki's dickish tricks is the story him tricking blind Hoor into killing his brother Baldr with a mistletoe dart just because mistletoe was the one thing Frigg hadn't received an oath to not harm Baldr from.

Because the point of having a humanoid robot or equivalent in a story is to explore what does and doesn't define humanity, and also why on Earth would you program a machine to feel emotions other than 'desire to work harder' and maybe 'job satisfaction'

The biggest reason is just to answer whether or not you can do it.

Given that it seems pretty apparently that Gunnerkrigg is a place where she doesn't have to swap identities constantly, I don't think this is at all what's going on there. I also kind of doubt it was what was going on before, but v:shobon:v

Hard to say, especially because he's actually pretty busy healing from a pretty nasty gash to the hand from some glass! (And making good on his absurdly large number of Kickstarter incentives.)

Now I want a sketch of Kat adopting a new dance-based security protocol for her lab.

Also, Boxbot yelling "RAP MUSIC, MY DROOGS!" and faceplanting into a wall.

Edit:
"Annie, you can't put this many sultanas in spotted dick! It's just daft!"
"That amount of sultanas is like my emotions right now... Hella crazy."

Said faceplant would actually be a slow wheeling towards and then having a gear failure.
