Nope, I discovered this after you!

Leak

*cough* Jeph Jacques (‪@ass.golf‬): "oh my god I know the QC rss is broken I'm waiting for my server guy to figure it out stop emailing me" -- https://bsky.app/profile/ass.golf/post/3lfd77koed22c

Uniquitous

It's how she would have wanted to go.

ValdVin

I seriously am now the last English-speaking person to know that joke.

Stephen Wells

We believe in you.

Stephen Wells

When AIs are embarrassed/aroused they tend to vent coolant through their neck seams, We have seen this happen with: Roko confronted with lots of bread; Bubbles thinking about being Faye's "commanding officer". And now this...

Ursus Ridens

Kindly listen to Jez Lowe's "A Dream of Steam and Freedom", e.g., on YouTube. At least someone still has something good to say about steam.

Dan Curtis

that is a neck seam that all A.I.s except for Yay have. It is venting steam in this case.

Doc Gumby

Although with Melon you also have to watch for tunnels in the basement.

Captain Button

The World Can Be Saved By Steam!

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

Is iris wearing a necklace, or is it a seam that ends up leaking in the last panel?

Fart Captor

I'm no longer certain I could make her worse but I still wanna make out with her

Jason Holmes

yes I am

Stephen Wells

There are 2046 of Melon and they're all Like That :)

Miyaa

You might need to get your steam venting looked into.

David Durant

You sir are an extremely lucky individual

Mitsuki Ayane

Willow knows Iris is all bark and no bite. ~<3

Jason Holmes

Every time Willow shows up I get reinforced in my belief Jeph somehow knows my wife and is basing a character off her. Literally all she needs is pink hair and its her.

Jody Raiford

Yeah.... I sent him a message in the Q&A thing here, hoping he sees it! Hope more folks send messages too!

Sean Kinlin

Willow has root with Iris.

Leak

So you're saying plot of The Matrix is all made up? D:

Sean Kinlin

Mmm, grilled blueberry muffin.

Leak

I guess she's having an attitude thruster malfunction...

Leak

ITYM "race condition" - the malfunction is what happens afterwards when the race makes things happen in an order that was not anticipated...

Josh

It went down the same day that "Director's cut month" started, so I assumed that it would come back when new comics resumed... but it hasn't!

Miyaa

Schrödinger’s Melon

Jody Raiford

I guess I have to buy a commission, and the commission is just "fix the RSS"

Mark

Like the old joke about what's a nine-letter word, beginning and ending with 'n', that means constipation? A: 'Nnnnnnnnn'!

Mark

Then she exploded and everyone died.

Doc Gumby

Quantum Melon.

Mark

It's been down for a month.

Jody Raiford

Is RSS feed intentionally down?

Frank Wales

EROFS: read-only file system -- cannot create 'Nice_List.txt'

Cley Faye

It's a good thing humans can't produce steam.

Bagge

That's very true

David Paul

It turns out to be Gordon's evil twin Nodrog: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2335

Opus the Poet

Iris demonstrating her skills with her knife collection.

Donna Flint

Same!

Opus the Poet

Embarrassing obviously.

Mitsuki Ayane

Iris is being hit with her weakness, Willow, she's fighting herself because Willow told her to. ~<3

enchantedsleeper

So that's why May has always been nicer to Marigold xD Legacy code!

enchantedsleeper

It's not dissimilar to Roko and Yay xD

Bagge

That "yaoi" hat is still one of my favourite gags

Cas Wanden

That is a VERY good point. I will bear that in mind.

Charles Hirst

I am told that sometimes you have to hug people you don't like. Otherwise, you won't know the dimensions of the hole you have to dig.

ValdVin

Iris has broken Jennifer's best for consternation word with the most letters. https://www.dumbingofage.com/2024/comic/book-15/02-the-one-where-jocelyne-returns/sighting-2/

ValdVin

I keep waiting for Ensign Yaoi's return.

Yelling Bird

Let her explode. Small price to pay for being rude to Hanners.

Bagge

I'm getting more and more intriguing by Willow's and Iris' interaction. This is downright softcore domming

Andrew

Yaoi sailor Mar… oh my.

BookBeard

Yes, they have hammers.

BookBeard

And probably take a few people with her.

William Cole

She's gonna be a grilled blueberry if she's not careful!

Uniquitous

if ! [ -f "Nice_List.txt" ]; then touch "Nice_List.txt"; fi This stuff isn't hard, Iris!

Sammitch

RIP Iris. Turns out that it _would_ kill her to be nice for once.

SpookyPenguin

This is wrong. As amusing as Iris often is, when someone says the opposite behaviour is "good" for them, it's not.

BookBeard

RIP Iris. Died of nice.

BookBeard

Dear god. We're... we're... We're being nice. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4612

BookBeard

Error: Nice_List․txt not found. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2713

BookBeard

I just like the implication that no matter what apartment they're in, no matter which building, Melon is always living just upstairs.

Panic Blitz

She's like if vocal fry was a sentient AI.

SilverbackRon

I didn't understand your joke the first time, then I later scrolled up to the page again and it hit me. LOL

SilverbackRon

Hahaha, that is perfect!

kupo

Somewhere deep within Iris's core programing is an inexplicably Scottish subroutine shouting in panic, "Nay Cap'n, she's gonna blow!"

Dissociated Women Incorporated

Ah yes. The episode where he raised an entire two eyebrows, and not just one. Most illogical. Live long, and prosper 🖖

schmod

Iris would DIE in the Midwest.

schmod

You wouldn't like her when she's nice

Captain Button

Does Union Robotics have the tooling for that?

Captain Button

Making Iris be nice could be fatal, like that Star Trek TOS episode where they are forcing Spock to have emotions.

Stephen Jeffrey

She died doing what she hated, trying to not hate everything

Emily Roberts

And then EVERYONE* else died

Doc Gumby

And that is why Iris has no head and there's a hole in the ceiling. (Hi, Melon!)

Maurice Kessler

Wish I had, thirty years ago. Might be able to retire now.

Colin Hay

She looks in more pain each time she wants to be nicer :)

Creeperkry

Does she need to go into the shop for an attitude adjustment?

Einy

Iris tries her best not to say Ragnarok.

Miyaa

The things Iris does for love.

Matt Grayson

"That's funny. Customers enter, but they don't leave."

Ben R

one of my first lol moments in a while

BobC

I thought I had a size 3 neck seal around here somewhere, but I can't find it. But I know where to send her to get one!

David Durant

Again, yes.

Am Queue

I don't recall another coolant release that wasn't arousal or embarrassment related. What does this imply for Iris being scolded by Willow?

Andrew

Is Iris Tsun-Kawaii paradox safe?

Michael Steamweed

Many of the v1.8, Pre-Singularity Humans find that liquid alcohol makes a good cooling system.

Steve DeGroof

I totally get that. I'm always having problems with my amiability coprocessor overheating. Really need to cool it.

Brendan Luster

pop

Sleepy John

One more good HHRRRRNNNGGGGKKK and the other seven legs will pop out and her head will walk off her shoulders and up the wall. What this will do to Hannelore is not known.

Tannerbot

Shit, we have a coolant breach!

Packy Anderson

"That's my secret, Cap. I'm always nice."

Jason Wotzko

So much yes

Sean Kinlin

Schadenfreude toward Iris, or toward the customers?

Opus the Poet

Amusing, Iris seems to be having a race malfunction, where she's trying to perform two operations simultaneously. It doesn't work for small computers, and it doesn't seem to work for sentient AIs either.
