Comic 1557 in production... excerpts from recent Stuff Fred Said? fredrin:Just because us dimensionally challenged entities have to split things up doesn't mean the universe does fredrin:That's where the stories are fredrin:Connective tissue between worlds that can't witness each other Access to mo...

When we saw Moeko before https://megatokyo.com/strip/1540 Wait, THAT was Moeko? (I was working far too many hours when that sequence came out). Ok, I'm probably wrong about my theory if that's actually her personality. Sure doesn't seem like the girl that Ririka was talking about, though, with that...

Honestly Largo trying to tell Erika about the weirdness in MegaTokyo is like a 12 year old air soft enthusiast telling grizzled combat vets about their adventures. I doubt that Erika believes that there's any danger because she'd not take Largo in if she did I would pay money to watch that conversa...

The big question question is: Is Moeko taking over Erika or is Erika playing Moeko? My answer is: there's a difference? We've found out before https://megatokyo.com/strip/1519 that there's a pretty strong link between a magical girl / real thing / whatever and the actress that player her. There may...

That, or she's a much better actress that I thought, and is doing this for Moeko's sake. (Certainly not for Largo's mental health, such as it is.) My vote goes to your ‘or’, Roamer. =) I like that idea a lot more as well, but the body language and wording seems so out of character for Erika - talki...

There's something much deeper happening to Largo, he's assumed all this time that Erika is an innocent and unaware of how things work. He becomes uneasy when he sees her manipulating mercenaries and fanbois with ease. Now he sees her slip into her fictional role as easily as putting on a comfortabl...

I think that quite a few of the readers are forgetting that Ashe and all of the other kitsune are monsters and will not respond in an entirely human manner. Prostitution? Nothing wrong with that, it's both profitable and fun, even if you're one of the tailless members of the Sawatari clan. Murderin...

I feel a twinge of sadness for Junko Oh yes. DrGero was exactly what she was looking for in a boyfriend / replacement-father-figure: "a gentleman ... intelligent, mature, older" [1508] . Sure he was paying her for dates, but he was doing that because he liked her, and Junko is cynical and naïve eno...

...And I agree with a previous poster, Dr. Giro's real ethical test is going to come soon. How does he treat Ping in the future? This. Precisely this. We've all agreed that Ping is self aware. But I don't believe the doctor is aware of the fact because he hasn't interacted with her long enough. Pro...

If you think Dr. Gero is evil then you also perforce believe building Ping was evil. My opinion is that the questions of why she was built, and what's going to be done to her (and her compatriots) now that she's been built, should also factor into that consideration. (That is, Ping being awesome do...

I suspect that Dr Gero has concerns and feelings toward Junko that he has to keep in check. Not pervy concerns but real concerns regarding her homelife, her future and her safety. Back years ago when Dr Drew was a show on MTV his co-host Adam Carolla once complained that doing that show had forever...

It would (and I expect shortly will) matter to Junko. We saw her before with one of her "dates" and she was rather dismissive [760] . But she thinks much different of DrGero [1508] . Yes, he's paying her for dates, but from Junko's side there is more there. He's not just another old guy paying her ...

Now I'm sure you all are enjoying stroking your own... egos and feeling happy that the doctor got what he deserved here. I disagree. In fact, the first thing I felt when I read this comic is 'wow, that's unacceptable'. In fact, this feels like a shitty notalwaysright.com story, the majority of whic...

Ping is also being "reprogrammed" by everyone that has "played" her so far....... Holy Zarquon, I'd heard that plenty of times before, but never thought to sit down and take it literally. :shock: Under Piro's initial influence, she was moody and hypersensitive to others' opinions of her. After a sh...

PREDICTION: Doc is now going to be fascinated by Ashe and pursue her. Dunno how that will end up, but I suspect it would be good for him, assuming he survives. If not, it'll be therapeutic for us to watch her pummel him.

So basically, Dr.Clueless is developing a product to exploit men's vulnerability, but it's women who are harmed by this? But it's ok as long as it's a "whole girl" who is manipulating some guy into paying her money just for the privilege of going on a date with her (where doubtless he's also expect...

The good doctor needs a good kicking. I hope this ends well for Junko.

He thinks those ears and tails are fashion accessories? He didn't explicitly say that. Some people have interpreted it that way but he could easily be talking about other, more mundane things. But the conjunction of panel 3, where he is imitating "floppy" earblades, immediately followed by panel 4,...

He's utterly focused, works stupid OT (including this date) I don't see evidence of that yet. Again, when he thought Ashe was a "potential customer" asking about buying the finished product, he immediately launched into the "ad copy" - the generic description that would already be available in Sony...

Even if he's not actually interested in doing anything with all these girls, he's still willing to be seen in public with them - with all the negative social reactions that he'll get from others because of it. If he's that obsessive about his work, I'm willing to stipulate he's at least minor-leagu...

Ping's "Old Man" is an anthropologist Well.. he talks mainly in terms of "design" and "architecture". So I still consider that more consistent with lead developer / engineer / programmer etc. He talks about using "bits" of girls, but whether he actually collected that data or used what was given to...

(Narrows his eyes at Darrin and bares his teeth with a growl.) I do not want to be convinced by you, but you are persuasive. I still smell creep all over Dr. Feelgood. Even if he's not actually interested in doing anything with all these girls, he's still willing to be seen in public with them - wi...

I can't picture him as being indifferent, simply because I think anything she does will interest him. Willing to pop the hood, once he has all the data he wants? Oh heck yeah. You said "willing to test to destruction", which is precisely the sense of "callous" (indifferent) I had in mind when respo...

The Old Man either doesn't know that Ping is self-aware (this "trying to play a real girl" thing might just be a programming quirk), or doesn't care (since one rogue prototype isn't significant to the Project that he does care about). I don't yet consider either of those possibilities strong eviden...

creepy is non-traditional: That he might find her growth and changes so fascinating that he's willing to test her to destruction, given that there are no laws to protect her. Sure, "callous enough to down the road pose bigger issues" isn't ruled out yet, I was focusing on what I thought I could say...
