Hello and happy new year! A lot of poll results came in from R&D and we've almost fixed taste all the way. Horses are almost fixed, too. We've been working pretty much non-stop around the holidays to stabilize everything, so I hope this works! Just so you guys know, while we were working on fixing the original problems we received some alerts of residual effects outside of our usual domain. Don't worry though! Remember what I said a while ago? We're still moving more resources around into better defenses to protect the city from huge storms like last summer. We'll be taking care of that really soon and isolating the unknown problem. I wish I could tell you more, but we're all working overtime here to finish the final stages of a big project. No matter what happens you guys should be safe while we finish up, so just stay calm, okay? Don't get too reckless! Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated As of this post taste tier 4 has been icly regained; tier 5 will go into effect on Saturday, January 6th at 9pm EST and taste will be fully restored!

Thank you for getting the taste of alcohol back. Just don't screw up again.

But does coffee taste like coffee now?

[coinflipped]

Don't know, don't care.

[I'm sorry for him.]

[blind_badass]

Hmm. But liquor has returned? I suppose even Retrospec wants to be able to taste getting drunk as much as the next person.

[embearass]

That is... quite a taste to be grateful to be returned.

[coinflipped]

Call me odd, but I do enjoy the taste of alcohol. Thankfully we've had whiskey back for a couple of weeks now, but some other ones took longer.

[embearass]

I assume it would be the alcohols made from different bases, correct?

[sotenbori]

it's better for business when alcohol actually fucking makes a difference

[coinflipped]

It does. I'm glad it's mostly back now. Just hte ladies that prefer the sweeter things, well, that's going to be difficult... though I'm not sure if the normies actually experience a difference or care.

[sotenbori]

they acted like it was the same
i kind of considered just giving them shit drinks and charging top shelf prices but

im not that awful
am i

[servileness]

You are in need of better priorities.

[coinflipped]

My priorities are just fine.

I liked you better when you were fun.

[servileness]

My priorities shifted. It made all the difference for my life.

It'd do the same for yours.

[windowdressing]

Seconded.

[coinflipped]

I knew there was a reason I keep you around.

[windowdressing]

I'd prefer to think it was for my good looks and delightful company.

Anyway, now that we can taste drinks again, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that you owe me one. ♥

[judgementkazzy]

I agree, we can finally stop drinking the cheap stuff.

[coinflipped]

Why would anyone drink the cheap stuff in the first place? Have you ever had awful hangovers because you drank the cheap stuff?

[judgementkazzy]

Hey, when I couldn't taste anything, it didn't really matter what I got.
I wasn't going to spend money on expensive water.
Now at least I can taste the difference again.

[khuy]

amen for alcohol

[coinflipped]

Glad others agree with me. It's a little more difficult to enjoy a good drink if you can't taste it.

[sakeplz]

yaaaaaaaaaay alcohol!

[coinflipped]

Not surprised to see you happy about that considering you were the one willing to cover everyone's bar tab a couple of months ago.

[strayknight]

I know some others that will be happy~

i'm really sorry i took forever to reply to this

[coinflipped]

It seems like a lot of people are. I'm glad I'm not alone.
