Meal plan everyone for 28th?

The real gamer hours start on the 30th of July when Savage releases.
I haven't really thought about what my meal plans are, but I've got a feeling it's going to be a lot of lazy burgers.
Basically, I've got some frozen hamburger patties, and a foreman grill. Just throw them on the grill while still frozen. Turn it on, and in eight minutes they're fully cooked and ready to be inhaled in-between pulls.
Then I'll probably balance it out with salads. No frills, just a chopped head of lettuce and some dressing. Maybe a couple croutons if I'm feeling snazzy. I might also just make a huge vat of fried rice the day before, and scoop out bowl-fulls occasionally.

What sucks is that since I didn't know when exactly the savage patch was dropping, I scheduled time off work for 7/15-7/26. But then when we found out the actual date, I tried to get it pushed back, but was only able to get 8/1-8/9.
Those first two days are going to be terrible at work.

I'm on vacation from the 28th to the 8th so monster coffee and tacos.

A whole bottle of wine and some gnocchi.

I'll be doing my usual meals: yogurt/granola for breakfast, soup for lunch, and probably leftovers for dinner. With plenty of coffee, of course.

Pretentious, much? I'm an adult. I work from home. I get unlimited vacation with my job. I took the week off to enjoy a game I love. Some folks go on cruises. I am playing Dawntrail. Doesn't make me any less of an adult.

I have the 28th off, and then the entire following week. (We have a day off for 4th of July anyway so 5 days of vacation.)

It probably won't all be Dawntrail, but the first few days will be.

I don't really have specific food plans. I'll just need to keep stocked with the regular stuff and make sure i don't run out of food and get tempted into over paying for delivery.

Must be nice to work from home and have unlimited vacation.



I have to be onsite and have 0 vacation.


Which one of us is the pretentious one lol.

My meal plan is the usual, whatever's in the freezer. (I never order food delivery) I'll probably do a shopping run before to make sure I'm stocked up and have a few additional snacks handy. Time available to play is easy, since I'm retired.

Big breakfast
Snacks for the air fryers

What's this "vacation" and "time off" thing you guys always talk about whenever a new expansion drops?

---

FFXIV is my first MMO that I have ever played. So since ARR, I have always taken off for the new expansion. Just a tradition for me. Plus I have loads of vacation time.

If the servers are in a playable state, I'll probably just order a pizza or something. If not, I might feel motivated enough to get off my lazy butt and go get something better. No concrete plans either way.

Depends on how warm it is that day since I don't have AC, but probably things that don't require use of my oven.
Granola and yogurt for something sweet, lots of ice for water/tea, potato salad, and a nice sandwich.

Just for future reference, normal raid is always 2 weeks after release, and savage is 4 weeks after release of an expansion.

Adults don't take days off of work? Then why do I have 5 weeks of vacation a year?

Nothing different regarding food for me though.

I'll be working over early access period so just my usual food once I return home from work. By the time I've cooked, ate and walked my poochie I'll get an hour to play before I should sleep, might push an extra hour though :3

On the bright side I'll have a lot more free time in July working less overtime to let myself play a bit!

I have the week off, same as other it is a tradition and I live with a wonderful cook who will make the usual lovely meals and it’ll be very self indulgent.

Whatever I feel like eating on the day. Maybe a few snacks, some dinner

A can of garbonzo beans, any bird I can catch, and a rinsed-out soda cup from Taco Bell filled with Hamm's.

Mao in no rush to play. Mao will gets around to game when Mao has times. Mao foods will be same as usual.

10 char blah blah

If you can afford one (maybe find one at a thrift store) get a crockpot. You can cook wonderful meals without heating up the house. It was how we survive Louisiana summer for years.

Underrated response.

Food ofcourse!

First day we'll order Mexican because we don't want to use so much time right away with cooking, but further down the road we'll try producing a half-decent chili con quinoa. :)
