Pintsize's fundamental character
Carl-E:
--- Quote from: The Seldom Killer on 15 Dec 2010, 13:12 ---Given the later introduction of a story arc that explained he is of military design, his other character traits become obvious as a reaction to being programmed without boundaries or a moral centre (as you would want in a AI maching designed for killing).

But he's not military design, only the chassis is military; his essence, the AI that is Pintsize, was uploaded into that chassis.
He was already this way long before getting new hardware!

Now, that I'll agree with!
Insignificant:
I've noticed that a lot of what Pintsize does seems to be, at its core, derived from a need for constant sensory stimulation; most of the time this is visual (pornography, weird images), but occasionally it is also gustatory (cake mix) or tactile (groping Marigold*). It is therefor possible that he is mainly hedonistic because he is consummately bored with his basic "job" of acting as a computer, and so distracts himself in more and more extreme ways...
To wit, note that, while not "toning down" per se, he did sort of reach an even plateau of pervitude upon befriending Momo and Winslow. One might interpret that as him becoming somewhat less (increasingly) desperate for entertainment upon finding suitable friends/accomplices.
*He also obviously likes messing with people; this is probably for the same reason.
IanClark:
Pintsize is like the universe according to Douglas Adams. As soon as we make sense of him, he will instantly vanish and be replaced by something infinitely more bizarre. If that's possible.
akronnick:
There is another theory that states that this has already happened! :evil: :evil: :evil:
Is it cold in here?:

I think you're on to something. Even when he seems to be engaged in mischief for its own sake there's an element of seeking new stimuli, even if it's only a painting on the ceiling by a blender.
