--- Quote from: Sassafras on 30 Nov 2012, 12:29 ---I love that Pintsize is showing some depth, but he's still pretty cruddy at his job. He's supposed to be an ambassador to humankind, but he's not making AIs look very good.
--- End quote ---
Wasn't the ambassador thing Momo's line?
slydon:
This week's reveal: Pintsize comes out as trans. (click to show/hide)He wants to be a pair of spanx.
CrowFairy:
I don't know that Pintsize meant "job" the way you guys have interpreted it. My own interpretation was that it's just what he does, what he feels like he's supposed to do and wants to do. Like, one of my friends has panic attacks on occasion, and I'm her Remus Lupin and give her chocolate ("Here. Eat this. You'll feel better.") and sit with her and help her calm down. If she were to say, "You don't have to do that," I would say, "Yeah, I do. It's my job." Sometimes duties as friends are like jobs--specially defined things that we do in certain situations that show our friendship for the other person.
Method of Madness:
I didn't mean job as in he has to be Marten's friend, I meant that he has no obligation to be an ambassador.

--- Quote from: Game and Watch Forever on 30 Nov 2012, 08:04 ---Although now I'm having visions of an awkward human-AI companion "dating" period between Marten and Pintsize. It's complete with a montage of them having a milkshake out of the same glass, them spinning on a playground carousel, and goofy pictures in a photobooth. Cause that's how television informs me two people are dating....

That made my day, also, I don't know why but I felt a little sad for Pintsize, maybe it's because in every other story where someone says "He now have friends, my job here is done" it is always acompanied with a scene of said person sadly smiling while looking at the other guy having fun with his new friends from the distance.
