SB could probably give excellent advice without re-engineering Roko’s mind. What are friends for?
Summer Sudbrink
Kind of hoping for Spookybot intervention any moment now.
Joe
fruit sisters trait, perhaps??
Joe
illegal to sell used chassis?? doesn't make much sense. what happens to the old chassis when someone decides to change?? like Momo's old one, or Winslow's?? seems like a waste if those can't be reused. maybe a donation process??
Joe
'this' face ... sigh ...
awgiedawgie
That's normal for anyone who is especially muscular. It's impressive that Jeph can capture it in comic form.

IIRC, it's illegal to sell used chassis... chassises? chassi?
Kuragari
Seems like some AIs really need therapy for new body dysmorphia. Poor Roko.
Chris Heg
Is there a used chassis market? Craig's List?

Bouncer Elliot to the rescue!!
Cacorias85
Elliot is already the goodest boy.
quick melon make the oolong tea

I like how whenever Elliot is about to do a Strong Thing, his physique becomes more defined like a toned down version of All Might.

"Just washing this face". Not "my face" :-(

It's subtle, but it is different. It's like I said yesterday (well, under the previous strip anyway), it's similar enough that many people don't notice the differences, especially over time, as their memory of the old face fades. But Roko sees every little detail. My nose is different. My chin is different. My eyes are uneven. But nobody but me and my own mother notices. I didn't have any trouble accepting the face in the mirror, but I am blessed with that ability. Roko - clearly - is not.

Her old model is no longer available <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3910" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Comic 3910: Nothin But A G Thang</a>
Chris Heg
AI body dysmorphic disorder. Maybe she should go back to the old model without the butt logo.
Andrew
If she needs cleaning advice call Hanners. Who will also definitely be the best person to talk to.
Brian
I don’t think Elliot is like normal people.
Dylan T
I love how elliot doesn't even need to wind up much to break in a door.
Churchill (formerly TeaBear)
If Elliot were a dog he'd be the Goodest Boy. ;)
Kinda Squirrely
Elliot using his beef for good. He needs a cape.
Nicholas Lopez
:c
Leona
Also, it’s good to have friends

On a side note, I was grocery shopping today and saw someone wearing a “Jetpacks are impractical and dangerous” t-shirt and had to say hi.
Elf Sternberg
I love panel 4. I love how, when she realizes it's really necessary, Melon hands every megabyte she's got to Therapy Mode, and says exactly the right thing.
Holly Nelson
I saw what you did there. :-)
Miyaa
Was there an actual difference between Roko’s old face and this one? I didn’t see anything different, but I’m not sure of such things.
Fart Captor
They CAN but it's optional equipment. May was annoyed that her chassis doesn't have any Roko might still be embarrassed even if she doesn't have naughty bits though. Like how it can still be embarrassing to be caught without pants even if you have underwear on
Fart Captor
It's already customized to be identical. It just doesn't feel like it's part of her
Firefly Jelly
Elliot, dude, you used to be a bouncer. You should know never to bust down a door with your shoulder. Stomp your foot as close to the latch as you can.
Zach Elwyn
Also, and I think maybe I should know this already, but are human-form AIs anatomically correct in a way that would make it awkward for either of them?
Mitchell Sealy
You know, her face probably could be rescupted to match her old face, by a skilled enough hand. A vegetable peeler and a mirror isn't the way to do it, but there are probably possibilities that exist for somebody like her that would be more difficult for a human.
Mordaeus
ROKO STOP

"This Elliot moves mountains." "This Elliot moves stars."
Sleepy John
Can he restrain her while Melon calls for help? Will Melon do anything besides shout "HELP"? Or run down the hallway calling "911! 911! I don't know anyone named 911!"
Sleepy John
Well, we may be about to see who's stronger, the robot or the tower of gristle.
Sleepy John
nice try, at least.
BobC
Elliot :fist-palm:
Gary Walker
It came with the melon baller.
Dean Reilly
I know, right?
Ack
Even if it wasn't. Elliot's a big lad.
Charlotte Grubbs
(This one hit close to home.)
LH
he's using his Powers for good.
Dean Reilly
If that's just one of those hollow-core interior doors, Roko may be about to lose her security deposit.
Charlotte Grubbs
Those body-dysmorphia-induced self-harm feels....
Errol Lobo
I hope you are feeling better now.

"Just washing *this* face!" Not "my face!" 8~-({

Roko... as a trans male I know. I tried to peel off my face when I was 15.
Katrina Urmson
Ohhhhhh Roko. :(
Ace
Why would Roko have a vegetable peeler to begin with?
Am Queue
Elliot +1
Jennifer Doyle
Oh, honey no.
SpookyPenguin
That was brilliant from Melon, poor Roko.
Frank Li
noooo...
Joseph Houk
:( Right in the feels, Jeph.
