Re: Some funny Crawl things that don't make sense

when i feel like eating deep dish pizza i don't bother leaving the house, i just pour tomato sauce on a block of cheap mozzarella, microwave it, and chug the result. the outcome is the same and it's faster and cheaper

but yes i realize that in america you can still get pizza that tastes good at the expense of hating yourself even more than you already do. but i've never encountered a self-loathing-free pizza that i didn't either make myself, or pay out the ass for.

You only "scratch" if you have the Claws mutations. There's a reason that cats aren't known for their boxing skills.

The former might be covered by the "at the expense of hating yourself even more than you already do" clause.

Within walking distance of my apartment there is a cheap by-the-slice thin crust place that is really good and not too greasy, and this other bougie, expensive place that I would avoid save for special occasions, because it is costly, except it has a great deal on Tuesdays. (Two whole specialty pizzas of your choice for 20 bucks, including stuff with ingredients like burrata, baked clams, homemade white mushroom sauce, etc.)

So, basically I'm pretty happy with my pizza situation.

Deep dish is 99% awful but there are a very few places that actually manage it right. I hated deep dish until friends took me out to some places in Chicago that specialize in it. Now I still hate it, mostly, but have to include this goddamn asterisk and note every time.

Re: Some funny Crawl things that don't make sense

Speaking as a Chicagoan, in my opinion, our city's "famous" deep dish pizza is tourist trap tier cuisine.

Other nonsensical things about crawl include:

    -Gargoyles can continue to fly while paralyzed
    -People can meet their own ghosts
    -A gigantic ogre can wear the same robes that fit spriggans, but a medium size draconian can't manage it
    -Dungeon dwellers are willing to sacrifice hundreds of themselves to kill the PC when they could just worship Uskayaw for free, kill some random bystanders, and telefrag him with 100% success rate
    -Sunny beaches are stacked one on top of the other several thousand feet down in a dungeon
    -Every player character who enters the dungeon, even an Int 4 minotaur, has a photographic memory of every tile and item they've ever revealed (and can also reach into their backpack and instantly draw out desired items with 100% accuracy)
    -TSO's angels have no problem sharing a dungeon level with mummies, ancient liches, and demons, but when they see their god's chosen, holy weapon wielding, divine champion wreathed in celestial light, they become enraged and attack

Re: Some funny Crawl things that don't make sense

Oedipus was the son of the king and queen of Thebes. While she was still pregnant, it was foretold by the prophet Tiresias that Oedipus would kill his father and have a sexual relation with his mother. Because of this, as soon as he was born, Oedipus was left on a mountain to die, bound by the feet to a tree. However, the baby was found by a shepherd, who grew him like a son. In the meantime, a Sphinx went to live by the gates of Thebes; she would ask riddles to the travellers and killed those who gave the wrong answer (all of them). Oedipus decided to challenge the Sphynx. While he was on the road, he met the King but he didn't recognize him as such, nor did he know that he was his father. They got in a driver's quarrel, and Oedipus killed him. Later, he got to Thebes, which was ruled by Creon while the King was away. He challenged the Sphinx, solved her riddles and killed her. He was hailed as a hero by the people of Thebes. Later they received the news of the death of the king, and the queen was married to Oedipus, with whom she had two daughters and two sons. However, Thebes was struck by a terrible drought. Creon goes to a oracle and the oracle tells him that the drought will cease once the murderer of the King is found and brought to justice. Following the investigation and the deposition of various witnesses, Oedipus is recognized as the killer; the queen then is reminded of the prophecy and asks Oedipus about his past. When Oedipus says that he was found on the mountain bound to a tree by his feet, the queen runs away. Tiresias explains to him that Oedipus was his own wife's son. The queen hangs herself, while Oedipus gouges his own eyes out and leaves Thebes forever, accompanied by one of his daughters, thus punishing himself for the murder of the king and curing the drought.
Thebes is then ruled by Creon again, until the sons of Oedipus are grown up, after which they rule together for some time. However, they cannot agree on many things, and one of them, Eteocles, excludes the other from the rule. The second son, Polynikes, then leaves Thebes, collects an army abroad and attacks Thebes. Tiresias foresees that Thebes can only be saved if Creon's son is offered as sacrifice; the young man sacrifices himself. Oedipus's sons meet each other at the gates and kill each other. In the end, the foreign army is destroyed.
Creon rules again and orders to only bury Eteocles and leave Polynikes's body to be eaten by the dogs, since he attacked his own city. However, each night sand is poured on Polynikes's body as a symbolic burial. It turns out that it is Antigone, Oedipus's second daughter, betrothed to Creon's second son Haemon. She is then processed by Creon, who believes that she owes her allegiance only to the city of Thebes, which Polynikes tried to destroy, while she answers that she cannot defile the laws of religion and family for the sake of the city. Creon then condemns her to be buried alive in an underground cell. Tiresias then informs Creon that he is making a huge mistake and goes to bury Polynikes himself. Fearing more divine retribution on the city, Creon decides to free Antigone, but, once he has the underground room open, they find that she already has smothered herself to avoid a slow death. Haemon then first tries to kill Creon, but, when he is stopped by his men, he kills himself. Once the news reach Creon's wife, she also kills herself.
Creon was later killed by an invader who conquered Thebes.

All of this happened because of a curse placed on the King (Oedipus's father) after he raped the boy he was supposed to tutor.

Re: Some funny Crawl things that don't make sense

Shtopit wrote:Oedipus was the son of the king and queen of Thebes. While she was still pregnant, it was foretold by the prophet Tiresias that Oedipus would kill his father and have a sexual relation with his mother. Because of this, as soon as he was born, Oedipus was left on a mountain to die, bound by the feet to a tree. However, the baby was found by a shepherd, who grew him like a son. In the meantime, a Sphinx went to live by the gates of Thebes; she would ask riddles to the travellers and killed those who gave the wrong answer (all of them). Oedipus decided to challenge the Sphynx. While he was on the road, he met the King but he didn't recognize him as such, nor did he know that he was his father. They got in a driver's quarrel, and Oedipus killed him. Later, he got to Thebes, which was ruled by Creon while the King was away. He challenged the Sphinx, solved her riddles and killed her. He was hailed as a hero by the people of Thebes. Later they received the news of the death of the king, and the queen was married to Oedipus, with whom she had two daughters and two sons. However, Thebes was struck by a terrible drought. Creon goes to a oracle and the oracle tells him that the drought will cease once the murderer of the King is found and brought to justice. Following the investigation and the deposition of various witnesses, Oedipus is recognized as the killer; the queen then is reminded of the prophecy and asks Oedipus about his past. When Oedipus says that he was found on the mountain bound to a tree by his feet, the queen runs away. Tiresias explains to him that Oedipus was his own wife's son. The queen hangs herself, while Oedipus gouges his own eyes out and leaves Thebes forever, accompanied by one of his daughters, thus punishing himself for the murder of the king and curing the drought.
Thebes is then ruled by Creon again, until the sons of Oedipus are grown up, after which they rule together for some time. However, they cannot agree on many things, and one of them, Eteocles, excludes the other from the rule. The second son, Polynikes, then leaves Thebes, collects an army abroad and attacks Thebes. Tiresias foresees that Thebes can only be saved if Creon's son is offered as sacrifice; the young man sacrifices himself. Oedipus's sons meet each other at the gates and kill each other. In the end, the foreign army is destroyed.
Creon rules again and orders to only bury Eteocles and leave Polynikes's body to be eaten by the dogs, since he attacked his own city. However, each night sand is poured on Polynikes's body as a symbolic burial. It turns out that it is Antigone, Oedipus's second daughter, betrothed to Creon's second son Haemon. She is then processed by Creon, who believes that she owes her allegiance only to the city of Thebes, which Polynikes tried to destroy, while she answers that she cannot defile the laws of religion and family for the sake of the city. Creon then condemns her to be buried alive in an underground cell. Tiresias then informs Creon that he is making a huge mistake and goes to bury Polynikes himself. Fearing more divine retribution on the city, Creon decides to free Antigone, but, once he has the underground room open, they find that she already has smothered herself to avoid a slow death. Haemon then first tries to kill Creon, but, when he is stopped by his men, he kills himself. Once the news reach Creon's wife, she also kills herself.
Creon was later killed by an invader who conquered Thebes.

All of this happened because of a curse placed on the King (Oedipus's father) after he raped the boy he was supposed to tutor.
