Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT

BenRG:
Wow! Roko is really under stress here! Running everywhere, shouting (at Bubbles, something that normally I doubt that she'd dare to do) and playing with her hair in panel 4. I do think she's attempting to outrun a serious breakdown here!
It's interesting that Bubbles knows about OopsieGuard but Roko doesn't. I'm guessing that this is no great secret or even slightly a secret. I suspect that Roko has just been avoiding reading her documentation on the grounds that, on a subconscious level, it would mean admitting that she's in that body now and has to know how it works.
Still, it's a weird kind of funny that, for all her distress, Roko can still debate philosophical points!
So, who is that head from? It looks like a Pintsize model AnthroPC chassis!
Drunken Old Man:
It's not a paradox. It's just that now BUBBLES is stopping you from punching the wall instead of your body stopping you. Isn't that better on an existential level, Roko?

For comic #4176...
1. [Narrator voice]: Seconds after Roko has the OopsieGuard(tm) manually disabled and her Warranty voided, CrushBot, PunchBot, and IG-11 (from The Mandalorian) simultaneously enter Union Robotics...
2. @Gyrre...

Don't you DARE give us (Other-voters) the Raspberry!
3. @BenRG... I do not think she is "playing" or "fiddling" with her hair in panel 4, but rather taking off her ponytail scrunchie ("scrunchy"?) / hair-band to loosen her hair, &/or to allow access to her I/O port in the back of her head.

Firmware like that makes you feel treated like an idiot by default. Also, you might think hazard protection firmware like this could be turned off either by the occupying sentience or by an authorised technician.
I'm wondering whether Roko did read the user manual and then went to Union Robotics, or just went there without further consideration.
And, for everyone wondering about the face washing episode: the footer text reveals Oopsie Guard would've stopped her from actually doing damage with the peeler.

One would think so. Unfortunately that also depends on who produces the Philomena D model and their attitudes towards consumer modifications (like Ferrari's ownership agreement or John Deer's computerized tractors).
Roko looks pretty miffed, so there's a strong likelihood she may have even skipped that part due to frustrations with bureaucrat boy, and tried to find how to turn it off on her own while storming over to U.R.

Took me a few moments to realize that was a whip antenna on the head...
I'm hoping the process will be a little cathartic, and Roko will calm down enough to process her interview. I'm looking forward to some devious machinations.
I like how buff Bubbles looks with her arms folded like that.
I totally love crunchy peanut butter and lemon curd sammiches
