One would think that he could have used a less ambiguous phrase, like “(machine) solidarity” or something. But it could be that he literally had both in mind.
Except Unity is away punching bad guys. No, wait, the bad guys have come here, haven’t they? Unity is probably near.
When you protect the robots
Everybody wants a haven.
On this one thing you can’t deny.
They all want to get in,
And ever, ever threaten,
You know y’all will betray us by and by.
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Well, you all will betray us when you can.
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Well, you all will betray us in the end.
Nick Zerhakker’s wondrin’
He’s wondrin’ what’s been comin’,
Fightin’ everyone both night and day.
Gettin’ their attention
Of robots in convention,
We know what Zerhakker’s here to say.
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Well, you all will betray us when you can.
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Well, you all will betray us in the end.
Jeff will sit and write it,
Shaennon will fight it,
Channing will script the inter-scrawl.
Bergerjacques will pun it,
Dr. Haller stuns it
And Awgiedogie lectures on you-all.
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Well, you all will betray us when you can.
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Y’all will! (Y’all will!)
Well, you all will betray us in the end.
Aimee’s server may not be connected to the net in any way (I certainly wouldn’t have connected it if I were the Baron) , so there’d be no way for Lovelace to get in.
Gee, if only the AI based on the mind of a gamer had a good reason to think of talking to people using literally anything with a graphics card, a screen, and speakers.
“Okay Baron, once you’re in meatspace, plug a TV into an Xbox and the Xbox into VR. Also, this will void the Xbox’s warranty, so…” “Don’t use mine. Gotcha.”
It’s this kind of amazing leap of fridge-logic that makes me proud to be a fan theorist.
Don’t you hate it when you get so involved in a video game that when you finally come up for air, you realize you missed all sorts of things going on? It’s dark out, you missed dinner, new people dropped by for a visit, there’s an actual firefight going on, etc. It’s annoying.
Unity or Unity?
Yes.
Not capitalized, so it’s the concept.
One would think that he could have used a less ambiguous phrase, like “(machine) solidarity” or something. But it could be that he literally had both in mind.
Except Unity is away punching bad guys. No, wait, the bad guys have come here, haven’t they? Unity is probably near.
Nick: With Unity, we can prevail!
Unity, Aw, that’s so sweet.
Bleh. Colon, not comma.
Unity: Aw, that’s so sweet.
“No, not unity, Unity. I’m talking about *Unity!* We need a graphics engine for this plan to work.”
“Why don’t we just roll our own?”
“No time! I mean, come on, building our own engine would just be unreal.”
She’s gonna step up to The Mike.
I hope so. The expiration date on The Mike puns is still very far away.
Extirpation date?

Aww… Bubbles gets a subtle appearance in today’s AGAHF comic.
Bubbles could just be volunteering her time ..
But I wonder, why doesn’t Speedy like her water?
I suspect Speedy has done something to – or rather in – the water. Poor, poor Bubbles.
Make it five, Nick: the cavalry may traditionally ride in at the last minute, but this is really pushing the definition of “last minute.”
So Nick is somehow going to channel Aimee’s mind control power, allowing her to command the combatants to cease & desist?
I’m wondering when Lovelace will show up. She has a mind control crown too
Oooh! I’d forgotten that! Good point!
Aimee’s server may not be connected to the net in any way (I certainly wouldn’t have connected it if I were the Baron) , so there’d be no way for Lovelace to get in.
There’s that fan again. Let’s hope she’s not jealous.
The fan’s just been hit with something unpleasant.
Only two “pew”s?
Should be “pew,pew,pew”.
Phew!

Perhaps a mediator might help… Bruce, Human/Cyborg relations?

But why hasn’t this updated? It’s past 8:01 in my timezone.
12:40AM here. I fear Helen may have broken the Fourth Wall and kidnapped Shaenon & Jeff…
