I lived in NE for years and years and will admit to unironically loving Moxie, but much like Chicagoans and Malort, I’m self-aware about what it is

I basically enjoyed The Outer Worlds at the time, but I realized pretty quickly that it was about two dozen decent-to-solidly-funny worldbuilding jokes wrapped around about 12 hours of B+ gameplay.
I still enjoyed it! It didn't leave me hankering for the sequel, though.

I know we're supposed to be boycotting Microsoft, but I have an Xbox and already have Game Pass so: does Outer Worlds 2 ever get, you now, fun?
REPOST because I always fuck up the name and call it Outer Wilds; us Olds need games to stop using names that all sound the same.

Micro Magic French Fries (1984-1999): Part of the "Micro Magic" line of microwavable fast food items, these crinkle cut fries came in a thick box that you'd rip open, nuke in the microwave, and presumably be enjoying in no time.

This is absolutely something I would do, ESPECIALLY when bored, but "divorce" would be one of the better-case scenarios if I tried it
Courting divorce because I'm bored and moving everything in the kitchen up one shelf so @sarahday.org has to use a step stool to get to it, then converting all the lower shelves to cat beds to make Theodosius happy.

Live action makes this harder, because a lot of the “unfilmable” stuff I would want to do would work better as animation, probably.
So, let’s go with The Kingkiller trilogy, assuming Doors of Stone ever sees the light of day. Casting Kvothe might be a nightmare though

OK, less contentious post:
You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?
For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second

I have bet against Big Game Jim before and I have done so only to my detriment. This movie is going to set sales records that will only be eclipsed by its sequels.
