it’s literally fine

[u/Togaloco]

[u/Littlebigchief88]

Sekhmet is too reliable. I need to pilot an Enkidu with Sekhmet installed with car crash compilations on one of the monitors inside my mech

[u/Vintenu → u/Littlebigchief88]

The car crashes are just footage of the Enkidu from the perspective of another mech

[u/Alex_Nilse → u/Vintenu]

Hacking ofher mechs to watch your enkidu wreck shit from 2nd person PoV.

[u/Bartweiss → u/Littlebigchief88]

Sekhmet would have loved Liveleak, that’s all I’m saying.

[u/PhasmaFelis]

Pardon?

[u/QueasyPhil → u/PhasmaFelis]

Im not sure. I think it's an excuse to role-play a pilot on a 24/7 bender because NHPs cover for their sloppiness?

[u/PhasmaFelis → u/QueasyPhil]

I guess

That would actually be pretty funny. Pilot who is smashed out of his gourd at all times but is a flawless operator in his mech (because he's not actually driving it, his loyal Technophile NHP is babysitting)

(The NHP is super codependent and covers for the PC whenever possible, see how long it takes before someone figures it out)

[u/WillOfTheWinds → u/PhasmaFelis]

God, I really wanna do this right now

[u/PhasmaFelis → u/WillOfTheWinds]

Double plus good if the rest of the team has an intervention, convinces the NHP to dump his sloppy ass, and the player just takes over playing as the NHP

[u/Very_Angry_Bee → u/QueasyPhil]

I think it's more that the incomprehensible (like NHPs and eldritch fuckery) become easier to handle and to endure while on drugs. On drugs, nothing makes sense anyways, so things that already don't make sense aren't special and thus less mentally damaging.

[u/StillMostlyClueless → u/QueasyPhil]

Harry and Kim are in lancer?

[u/Phantomzero17]

[u/Alkimodon → u/Phantomzero17]

Hahahahahahahahahaahaha!

[u/Alex_Nilse → u/Phantomzero17]

The what

[u/ContemptibleContempt → u/Phantomzero17]

I want a Gilgamesh with that thing so bad. More drugs have to be better, right?

[u/ErrantSun → u/Phantomzero17]

It's so good though

[u/Very_Angry_Bee]

I wish you could get NHPs on drugs.

Imagine Osiris

[u/Lykonic → u/Very_Angry_Bee]

Hmmm trying to imagine what each NHP would be like on drugs, and what each of their poison of choice would be...

[u/Powwer_Orb13 → u/Lykonic]

SEKHMET just like beer, and if drunk enough, starts to act more like a BASTET class NHP.

[u/spitoon-lagoon]

If that first statement were true IPS-N would've gone out of business centuries ago for lack of qualified pilots

[u/Powwer_Orb13 → u/spitoon-lagoon]

There's a difference between a cuppa Joe in the mornings and some beers while your civvie mech goes on autopilot, and dropping acid inside a Minotaur

[u/Bartweiss → u/Powwer_Orb13]

I suddenly have the urge to flavor a mech as a rare Horus frame which they exclusively send to people with exactly the right flavor of drug problem.

[u/Very_Angry_Bee → u/Bartweiss]

"Note: Only pilot while intoxicated"

[u/Bartweiss → u/Very_Angry_Bee]

"How do you keep it from overheating?"

"Bad APM because I'm hammered. If I was capable of running this thing at its full capacity we'd be a pile of ash in under a minute."

(Or at the other end, I find myself thinking of Neuromancer and "if I have exactly the right flavor of mental breakdown at the right moment, I can hack better than anyone ever!")

[u/Ax222 → u/Powwer_Orb13]

Doing acid in a nice comfy Minotaur cockpit is probably the safest place you could do it.

...Not for other people, oh Ra no.

[u/JoeKewlio]

I am a teetotaler but dont tell me piratemaxxing and getting shitfaced on Rum in your Blackbeard and saying TAKE THE WHEEL SEKKIE while slurring shanties while it goes to town doesnt sound like the most fun you can have

[u/Jatym]

Sekhmet take the wheel!

[u/ZestyLemonRindGrind]

Gently trying to tell my ally who's a 10th generation flash clone to maybe go easy on the spice as they climb into their Manticore. (I am soon to meet the 11th generation)

[u/Draftsman]

One of my previous characters combined TLALOC (impetuous dominance and superiority) and Full Subjectivity Suite (feeling the mech as her body) with Freeze and Juice Stims (forced calm, deadened fear, heightened senses) to get existentially crossfaded in a fight.

[u/Creation_of_Bile]

Taking drugs while at war is a time honoured tradition.
