Why would a ships AI, that's subservient to you, the pilot, be of something like a portrait of a queen? That would be close to treason. Glitch nobility would not look very kindly upon that at all. Far more sensible to have it simply be a representation of a steed that is comfortably beneath everyone on the totem pole.

Why not a brain in a jar, then?

Well, seeing as PC Glitch are explicitly ones forced to flee their homes or be hunted down like vermin, I doubt they give much of a fuck about what the nobility thinks. :v

Hmmmm. What would a PC Glitch want as a AI Avatar...
DEFINITELY NOT A HORSE WITH TATS.
Mayhap a...A SQUIRE!~

[WillowLuman]

Also, why isn't it a robot horse?

[KingofstarrySkies]

Novakids need like, a sentient gun.

I love these kinds of conversations.

Find thread, get argument about horse tits.

Needs more crotch teats, because horse.

I'm surprised nobody has made a mod that turns everything into tits, TBH.

Titrees, titbushes, titNPCs, titplants...

There IS a penis mod.

As if the other anatomy biomes weren't creepy enough.

As per that, why not complain that all the races are bipedal humanoids? Why is everyone fixating on the breasts? Freud would probably have a field day. It's not like this is or ever was meant to be hard sci-fi. Its simply the simplest easiest way to convey gender at a glance in such a limited media

To me, it looks weird because the Glitch know they're not organic, right? And aren't their horses robotic, too? So it's deliberately ugly, fine, that's an art choice. But it's weird for it to be organic when all the Glitch artwork that we see is inorganic. (see: The Vitruvian Man homage)

Or a valet named Jeeves; I'm sure, in a game that slaps boobs on everything that moves (robot boobs, plant boobs, fish boobs, and now horse boobs), we can forgive a slight mixing of Victorian and Elizabethan sensibilities.  RoboJeeves, possibly with just a hint of...dare I suggest, sass.

Why wouldn't it be a figure of power? The Apex have an image of Big Ape. Hylotl-sensei-AI is an elder, to be revered. Humans is... well zero-effort lazy for the intent of zero-effort lazy carrying over to florans with no work. I have no idea what the avian crystals are for, so I can't comment there.

But there's at least tie-ins or direct cultural explanations for everything except glitch that does not involve rationalization gymnastics, which still leaves me at "we wanted a tithorse. have a tithorse and like it."

[Ultimuh]

Am I the only one who thinks that particular one is made as a test or some kind of joke?
