The only yellow fruit that belongs on pizza is banana, and I can't believe all of you are insisting on eating pizza wrong! Banana is the only topping that should be allowed on pizza!

The only part of the banana that is yellow is the outside. Pineapple is yellow on the inside.

What's the point of having a yellow topping that isn't actually yellow when you consume it?

I mean, you do peel the banana before you eat it... right? Right?!?

Why cook at home when you can go to a restaurant? Why cook at home when you can get pre-made meals at the grocery store?

Pinneapple is fine on a pizza. Not something I got all the time, but once in a while a Hawaiian pizza or a pizza with pineapple and prosciutto really hit the spot. What doesn't belong on a pizza is cheddar cheese. I used to deliver pizzas and far too many places use cheddar in their cheese mix

It's true, one man's 4E is another man's Rules Cyclopedia. But I see a lot of comments about rewiring 5E to make it look more like 4th Edition, but not very many at all for other editions or games. It's almost always 4E.

Well, that's because 4E did have some innovations amidst its missteps (making a very good tactical game out of what had previously been a roleplaying game was always going to alienate people -- that's a misstep, IMO), but 5E, in its haste to change the subject, tossed it all out.

So while 5E brought back good stuff from previous editions, the good stuff from the most recent edition is collecting dust.

I'm not a 4E fan -- I sold my three core books to Noble Knight while they still had that new book smell -- but it's a reasonable take.

While I'm up on my soapbox about it: I don't understand the whole "Old School Renaissance" movement in D&D. Why OSR when you can just OS?

Because those books were, at best, organized like crap, but in many other cases, were full of poorly considered rules that often didn't work well at all or work well together. Once you've reorganized the book (OSRIC, OSE), it's tempting to go "well, this part doesn't do anything" and toss it aside, and then say "I don't understand why this wasn't included in the core product, but just in an add-on" and wire that in properly to the rest. Pretty quickly, you end up with something that cannot, with complete honesty, be said to be a true reprint any more.

The vibe is very much the same as it ever was -- and I love the vibe -- but the result has more modern design principles and even design than most people want to fully acknowledge.

I started out with the 1E PHB and quickly acquired the rest of it when I was a middle schooler, and I would never go back to the TSR rules as printed. Even if I accepted the need for to-hit and saving throw matrices again (and no, thank you), it should all be assembled in a way to make the rules accessible and easy to use, rather than having to go "wait a second, I think there's a paragraph in a random section of the DMG I need to consult real quick; everyone take five" constantly.

The best OSR material is dramatically better than the actual original stuff.

I dont mind a cheddar mix with a cheeseburger pizza, or BBQ chicken. Also, Jalapeno and cheddar are like peanut butter and jelly to me. Though, no your default pizza blend should not be a cheddar mix.

The first pizza I craved after covid was a bacon and banana pizza. I do not know why, I just wanted it.

You can peel a banana...‽‽‽ BRB, I have to go to the grocery store and try something!

I agree. On a cheeseburger pizza it makes absolute sense. I am talking about using cheddar as part of the standard cheese mix (they do it because it is cheaper but it also creates a thick melted layer: personally I think it is funky).
