    Extremely. This is unbelievable. I never thought in a million years I'd be lied to like this.
    I get why Activision stock would be sold. CODBLOPs appears to be somewhat in decline in terms of sales and needs to rely more on microtransactions to get better revenue and recent attempts to get more big revenue generators like Destiny have mostly had mixed results. That leaves mostly relatively old sellers that probably aren't growing a ton and are already factored into the stock price.

    If you want more protein in your chili, textured soy protein or tofu is right there.

    something that tastes good tho

    we're all going to die horribly unless we radically change meat consumption patterns

    how do you like them apples

    I thought we were talking about tofu

    Like seriously tofu is the most flavorless thing I've eaten outside of my mother in laws thanksgiving food.

    Try recipes like this: https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/dububuchim-yangnyeomjang

    pan-fried with lots of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, green onion

    I don't know and honestly don't care how westerners prepare tofu because they aren't using the core ingredients that come with it in every other culture and just blandly putting it in as some kind of standalone meat substitute and then cackling when it fails because it was put into a position to fail

    Meat substitutes and tofu are terrible

    *just puts tofu in a hamburger bun and eats it*

    (meanwhile I'm making kung pao tofu)

    Well like Codblops also just put in some shit tastic fuck you micros. Which seems to be how Activision is doing their micros now, release without them so reviews are positive, wait a month and then put in really stupid and regressive ones.

    I can't wait for destiny to have fortnite style season passes.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I'm weird cause I'll just fry up some firm tofu with salt/pepper and eat it.

    Tastes good. Maybe some tamari.

    Did they? Isn't it just the battlepass shit?

    Which of course, is ridiculously slow to level up considering it's a 60 dollar game but I'm just gonna go with "don't care about cosmetics"

    It's still dumb but I am unaffected since there's no way I can get that shit.

    Yeah its the battlepass, but the amount of time required to actually get the stuff in the battlepass without buying stuff is crazy. Its like the worst part of limited events combined with micros.

    You could also just stop trying to replace meat with tofu, and just make something good with tofu and appreciate it on its own. I feel like the main reason people think being a vegitarian sucks is because "all fake meats suck", and my answer is, yes, most fake meats suck. So stop trying to approximate meat, and just enjoy all of the enjoyable foods that don't involve meat.

    Activision owns blizzard, so it might be that someone read the nerd rage about the diablo mobile and took it seriously.

    Seems like a great time to buy, if one was so inclined. A diablo mobile game will be like printing money, but the investors are too stupid to see it.

    there's also the recent lower than hoped for earnings report regarding destiny

    Yup the entire thing reads like Activision is freaking out at how "poorly" Destiny and CoD had done and are forcing Blizzard's hand to move their IP to mobile games to cash out on the chinese market to help recover some quarterly earnings.

    The meat mimics (as opposed to meat substitutes like bean burgers that are not necessarily trying to be much like meat in every way) that work best are the ones mimicking meat recipes where almost everything is drowned out by some sauce. You can make an extremely good vegan approximation of the standard fake rib made from cheap pig parts glued together with tons of BBQ sauce added.

    Tofu was mostly a protein additive in Japan not a meat substitute. It is there to absorb flavor not produce it. Also not I want mapo tofu. Which has meat and is delicious and spicy.

    I am sure the engine Bethesda uses has been modified so much over the years that it doesn't count as the same engine.
