    Maybe we'll finally see some realistic physics with fantasy tentacle rape hentai games. Is it just me, or do the current tentacle rape game physics seem way off?

      It's a problem with the underlying ragdoll representation.
      They're having difficulties realistically modelling penetration. Close contact like that tends to lead to numerical instabilities in physics engines. There's not much Physx can do to help, though.

      That's why there are teams of researchers working night and day to improve the state of tentacle modeling.

      If you have what it takes to advance the state of the art there could be a big government grant and a PhD in it for you.

    iduno, I'm inclined to believe his post was more useful than yours... or mine...
