Oh hell yeah is it weird promo time?

Other than the Mr T Grenades. WoW has had Warbot pets that you could fill with Red or Blue Mt Dew that would battle the opposing colour.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRwNr9gp1jo
You had to keep buying Mt Dew to top the robot up with fuel to battle.

They also had Azeroth Choppers, which was done at the tail end of the American Choppers hype. Had a whole bunch of eps, and then the winning bike was giving away to players for free
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amMFuMoJObc
The Horde Bike ended up winning, and was given out, but due to legal issues it can no longer be obtained
The Alliance version you had to pay for, and you can still obtain it if you like.

the main advantage of hot pockets is that if you want some kind of dough with a filling inside, it's hard to beat them for availability. i have never seen a chain grocery store so small that it doesn't have hot pockets, and as bad as they are, they are still better than like 50% of frozen foods

but, with just a little forethought and the magic of premade puff pastry, you can make sausage rolls all on your own...

Pizza Pockets being the only American remnant of the savory pies common to Europe is bizarre. You'd really think a meat pie would appeal to American sensibilities. Although the potential reintroduction of it seems to have been fully kneecapped by the spread of Tex/Mexican food.

It was very weird how they only had "limited amounts" of the emote codes...

Also I would have expected them to put it up in the cash shop by now at least

Edit: upon looking it up i didn't find anything about it but i did see a lot of reddit posts about how grubhub is their enemy for life

Maybe if a meat pie was a full cheeseburger just kind of somehow baked into the bun? I feel like Naan is the bread with most room to grow. Top tier bread but basically only can order it at Indian food restaurants, when really you could make burritos or wraps or other stuff tortillas and bread do. Annoyed the goodnaam I know of in town is like 5 bucks for 1 circle.

Lol Wo Long having 2 easy bosses right after the initial one.at least fighting the Princess Mononoke boar was fun, but easy. Get the feeling maybe you get to fight multiples of it later, same with monkey?

I was more referring to the possibility of proliferation of portable pies, not the tasty but table bound tarts. Turkey pot pies are highly GOATed in its ability to transmit Thanksgiving leftovers from your fridge into your stomach.

Hi yeah there's a bunch of decent frozen food these days, the eating well brand is good and healthy choice has the steamers. Decent macros, usually sub 400 calories. The salt is usually on the higher side but could be worse - see anything hungry man.

There are also some decent flavors of stuff especially with Indian food, some quinoa bowls stuff...it's changed a lot in the past decade!

I do nutrition counseling* occasionally and am decently familiar with these because a fair amount of patients, particularly geriatric folks who are either somewhat disabled or widowers, just either can't or won't cook. So you gotta work with what's available.

Literally the one and only time we ordered grubhub was because my darling spouse wanted a FFXIV emote. They got the emote, but the whole thing was a debacle

i convinced my best friend to marathon a horror game with me next time we hang out and i'm dazzled by choice... should i introduce a mostly non-gamer to Resident Evil? that seems like the safest bet. maybe the RE2 remake for the visual flair, hmm

RE2 Remake would genuinely be a great choice, it's one of the best modern survival horrors and requires zero knowledge of the series as a whole

The manga got boring when it went from a joke manga to having these really dull serious plots where monsters invade Earth or poo poo like that that boil down to "can we delay until Saitama gets here and resolves this plot".

glass tops are a goddamn scam and a half, selling you special cleaning products and cookware and poo poo so your pots don't spin around like a gyroscope

here's an idea: how about a hot coil of iron that you put a pan on and cook your food with instead of this silicon hogwash
