I Get The Appeal Of HDG Because It Would Be Great To, Despite All Of Your Flaws And Issues And Trauma,

I keep seeing posts about dolls and witches and like, it's really enticing. I genuinely see myself as a machine rather than a person, and if that means I'm an object rather than a person then I just want someone who will treat me with care.

But I can't get into it for the exact reason I can't seem to get into HDG, I don't want to lose all agency and/or independence I have.

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of being semi-forced to act the way my owner/operator/programmer would like me to as well as being a tool/item for them to use, observe, etc.

But I still want to have friends, go out, and do things with people in public spaces and indulge in my hobbies when time permits.

Is there a specific subgenre for that?

Waiting for the gummy to hit so I can feel like myself more and fall asleep feeling like a machine going into sleep mode rather than a person going to bed.

I should be made of steel and circuits with a clear purpose in life, instead I've got to deal with all this "free will" and "self determination" nonsense. And I've got to maintain my internal biology. Gross. This existence is gross and weird. I dislike it

If you’re using Skype you should dump it and get Discord instead!

Pros:

Cleaner, easier to navigate interface

Free servers for more permanent group chat things (way easier to hop in and out of chats)

You can actually have different nicknames on each server if you want

Is actually well built and doesn’t make your computer yearn for death

Stuff coming down the pipeline soon according to devs:

Video chat

Linux client

Cons:

All your friends aren’t on it

But you can change that

Download it. It’s great and it’s only getting better. It’s aimed at gamers but it has nearly all the functionality of Skype and then some.

Oh to be a machine of steel and wires beneath this fleshy exterior.

Am I taking the wrong hrt? /silly

need robot hrt kind of immediately

I am so normal about the affini

Stars, to be held so tightly by my affini as she pats my head and rubs my belly with her vines and calls me her silly puppy. She pushes one of her needles into me for my daily class Gs before holding me up to the mirror to show me how well I'm progressing; I start crying seeing how fem I look and I just break down in her arms as she tells me everything will be okay and that I don't have to worry anymore because she owns me. I finally build up the courage to ask her to take me to the vets so I can get puppy ears and a tail that I can finally properly wag, paws that let me walk on all 4s easier and have the added bonus of me needing to ask her for help with everything and fur, soft fur that makes me feel more like a dumb puppy for her than before and stars I am so normal about them

Flirt with that cute robot girl

Take her to a private room & open up her back panel

Dig through her internal electronics, yank her wires just hard enough to cause a spark, remove pieces & toss em to the side. She doesn't need them.

Short circuit her till she's unable to think, her fans running at max speed & her internal mechanics sparking are like crazy

Bluescreen that cute robot girl

She needs it

This Unit must intake enough water daily to refresh, develop, and maintain its biological hardware.

Why is this unit not allowed to drink from puddles? They look so tasty and clear! It just wants to slurp it up like a dog please please please please please please please-

I think we need more love for Ethernet cables around here. I TRULY think we do.

Come on, you can take both ends of a cable and jam them into both of the Ethernet ports a robot has and see her immediately get stuck in a network loop. Hear her fans start working three times as hard. Kick her off any wireless Internet she may have had, so she can't access any of her databases except what's installed. Even that's slow going, just because of how much energy the network loop is making.

Her firewalls and security measures would jam up and maybe even crash, from how much information it thinks it needs to scan. Immediate robot dumbification device, essentially.

This might not work very well on newer models, and you might get scolded on trying to make her networks loop like that, but on the models that don't have network management... you could really have some fun and wreak some havoc too.

OOC, I wish amazon wasn't the cheapest place on the internet to buy almost anything. Kink gear is fucking expensive and I am incredibly poor. Not only do I not want to give Bosos any more money, but I certainly do not want him to know what I'm into.
