This, right here, is arousing.


Well, that fixed that. Gah.

Of course, by this point, people might not remember what "good" tastes like, and new generations might not know any other flavor, and thus just stay in an endless cycle of pepperoni vomit, under the assumption that it is the only way that can be good.

Agreed, it's similar to how everyone watches people eat pizza in a counter-clockwise fashion. The original reason is lost to the new generation, but when new people see it, they follow along assuming it's the only way to eat pizza.

So then what should be done? We can tell the new generations of how pizza used to taste, or why Flavor of the Month pizzas got us to this state to begin with... but that doesn't change the current disconnect between customer and chef's interpretations of why people eat the pizza they do. Changing the box the pizza is in, how it's sliced, or how its assembled might make a better presentation to tempt people to buy it, but if all they get is the same flavor it's going to continue to lead to upset customers.

More often than not.... when the quality of the toppings of the pizza are up to par, people like to experiment more... but if the only thing that tastes good is pepperoni... then despite presentation people will get upset and bored even with pepperoni.

But since this is the only shop that serves this kind of pizza for miles around... you either force yourself to eat it, or go to McDonalds.

You should see the internal structure on this one.

so it's Faux Meta......kinda like IS Pepperoni Vomit vs Clan........

though it is not far from the base I was considering for my smoked salmon, pepper shrimp, caramelized onion with garlic marinara and feta, sourdough deepdish. To caper and green onion, or not to caper, THAT is the question.

Maybe a recently arisen island in a ocean with strange statues, glyphs and changing geography.

Ia Ia Cthulhu Fhtagn.

Sounds fun to me - maybe some of the inhabitants will also come out and play...............

CthulhuTech is a thing after all.

Big Quirks like that are going soon with the Rebalance, right? Or are the +25 Structure/Armour Quirks staying?

+25 structure? That looks like 400% all around!

My wife made a wheat scratch crust with - you'll love this, I did - Asian stir fry and peanut sauce. Cabbage on pizza never thought it'd be edible. No cheese for obvious reasons. Rated gud for yummy.

Pepperoni Vomit IS an issue. And you see how the Comp Pizzas sneer when you mention pineapple?

Whoever invented Hawaiian pizza should have been garroted. Pineapple has no place on pizza.

Ewww!

Just because you lived after eating it does not mean it's really edible.

Considering that all our weapons would either not work or do nothing when they hit, I'd say we'd be better off with an archipelago map with some dry ground and lots of water, including deep enough to cover an Atlas.

I envisioned the beta Atlas rising from the sea with those glowing red eyes full of menace just now.

[Brody319]

Actually funny enough the lasers range would all decrease about 50
Since Large lasers are in the blue frequency they would travel through the water easier and thus do increased damage vs the medium laser as well as traveling farther.
I believe green light would travel through water less effectively than blue but more so than red.

So really all the lasers having a generic decrease in range and damage would make sense logically.

Ballistics could work at extremely close ranges I mean like face hugging close and even then you would do reduced damage.
And yes missiles would have to be modified into torpedo tubes, but that could make missiles kinda op 20 torpedo blasts? maybe restrict it to SRMs.

Though the only mechs that would operate well in an underwater condition would be mediums or above since lights can't run as fast and they would suffer do to the increase in SRMs.

Underwater fights are pretty nasty. Hull breach rules from the TT come to mind.

[Nathan Foxbane]

Underwater domed city map? Partially or fully flooded areas.

Tbf it tasted better then it read, it was an interesting recipe. It had chicken in it.

[NextGame]

while underwater would make sense (and that there is actually a mech designed specifically for underwater: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Aquagladius):

the problem with the concept is that they would have to change all the weapon, lateral movement and jumping physics to make them variable based on gravity and "atmosphere" resistance, and they should actually have did this with HPG, but didn't. This would require them to drag themselves away from doing anything other than making mechs to sell for more than 5 minutes.

[Wintersdark]

Damn this thread. I was fine, but after seeing those pics, just had to get pizza. Sadly, there are no local deep dish places about, so I've got to go with the next best thing. It's 15" around, and 10 lbs. Glorious.

[Whatzituyah]

Came to answer the Pizza question I say a spicy Pizza would really get your senses going especially with Jalapeneos. As for a Deep Sea map I don't think their was one in the MechWarrior universe but I can imagine fiji like Island map.

Double post me no like

MetaSnob. Somebody sure sounds like they're from NYC or the North East.......

Use good applewood smoked canadian bacon, caramelize the pineapple and red onions, lightly dust with cinnamon and red chili flakes, and serve on a crispy ******* (wow...kracker (with a C) is censored) thin crust, and Hawaiian pizza is amazing. Almost as good as the LB-X!!!!
