It doesn't have the part about female Kzin being sub-sapient sex objects that only exist for purposes of breeding, so it's actually slightly better even.

that got even weirder, there are some stories that apparently say they're psychic and controlling the males into thinking that they're in charge?

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
I'm kinda glad right now that I never actually read those books.

Or at least "will people download it and give me positive attention," which is pretty much a given with anything sex-related.

It seems relatively easy to mod and most of the game is text and images, so all you'd have to do is crop your favourite tentacle rape manga and type some poo poo up with one hand—boom, you're a modder.

I've always enjoyed the concept of twisted love in fiction so Rogue Servitors kind of interest me. They legitimately love their creators, they just insist on completely controlling their lives and won't risk them on anything even the tiniest bit dangerous. If they meet a truly genocidal AI race they promptly flip the gently caress out at the very concept of an AI species turning on and murdering its own creators.

But yeah, based off all that, it actually would make a disturbing amount of sense for them to create anime waifu bodies for themselves.

Except for that one book where the guy finds frozen, smart cat ladies from the distant past and refuses to gently caress them despite the harem being thirsty as gently caress.

The coward. Sure, gently caress the Neanderthals.

I'm currently playing a determined exterminator (genocidal robots) and while we're fine with one another cause we're both robits, they are getting progressively more angry with me whenever I capture a planet of biological scum and begin the purge.

Disregard, my neighbors were assimilators, who are robots that conquer organics and turn them into cyborgs. They still don't like it.

Yandere species would probably genocide whole planet of bio-trophies instead of letting them be conquered by other empire. Actually, I haven't played Stellaris in some time, so maybe it's already in game.

For context, four points is how much extreme longevity costs, which makes people live 80 years longer than humans.

“90% of it is just lovely porn mods” is pretty optimistic. It’s probably more like 95%. But if you want mods for a specific game, most of the big modding games have their own threads.

Has anyone mentioned Mechout4 yet? I feel like I've seen it here before, but it might be a nice change of pace as I'm pretty sure you can't have sex with the mechs. You can have a pet urbanmech that follows you around the wasteland though. I wonder if it works with RidableBot?

There is some kind of complicated explanation that equates it to showing your empty weapon hand to prove goodwill writ large because all Ringworld inhabitants are technically posthuman anyway, but yeah, it's always worth remembering that a: a lot of classic sci-fi was written in an era when not being utterly repressed and actually treating sex with some degree of casual openness was really transgressive and daring and b: authors be horny.
