Yeah, obviously the chesticles would be covered in a thick layer of boob fat padding to keep them protected.

That's pretty much self-evident, man.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Ah but you fail to take into account: why are human testicles not protected by being internal/covered in fat? They need to be close to the surface in order to properly dissipate the heat from churning out all those gametes all the time. Having testicles THAT large on top of being covered in fat is just asking for something to get cooked.

As a heavily modified being, if they were eggs ready to consume the parent to produce more soldiers without needing to bring them in from the gestation vats, then they would have been moved to a less centre-of-mass area... They also would have likely evolved that way too... Also, that whole body-shape is very effeminate, have there being any female humans from the same source that are in similar poses that could be overlayed for comparison?

Ah but you see, they are cold blooded! That makes sure their teatsticles are always at a balanced and cool temperature.

Doesn't that just mean that they can't control their body temperature without external help? It doesn't really help with heat dissipation. Snakes only get away with it because they don't generate much heat, but testicles as large as those snaketits would almost certainly require something active to cool them.

WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT SNAKEWOMAN TITS
The temptation to link Jake Solomon to this thread is so, so great. I would use my twitter again just for the reaction.

Most game threads lapse into silence when there's no news. But not this one. Oh, no, not at all. There is no topic that will not be discussed, no line that won't be crossed.

Maybe other communities are still talking about regular snaketits. But Bay 12 has always been a beacon of progress, a brave pioneer trekking out into fields of conversation left unexplored. There is no depth we will not go to. I am so proud.

Oh no you. Have you ever seen a snake with testicles? No, because they're inside the body, kept cool by the cold blood. It's logic you can't argue with.

Alien snakes that have been crossbred with humans. This also lends credence to the idea that the ones with chestplates are male: those are heatsinks, not armor. *snrk*

I thought it was just because they were tiny. And one per penis because snakes are weird like that.

Logically, that means the next big upgrade for snakemen is giant mecha suits, not so much for carrying extra weaponry, but to carry extra heatsinks for mechanical testicle cooling. It's probably the whole reason meld and sectapods were invented in the first place.

But where did the boobnuts go, back when they were thinmen?

The same place approximately two thirds of their mass did, apparently.

Eh, just post a generalized idea of the discussion onto 4chan.  It'll get to him eventually.
