Nothing perks you up like eating an entire roast turkey.

It's "floor chicken" in Vampire Survivors parlance

The manual for Castlevania refers to it as a pork chop if I remember correctly. Love a good walled in pork chop.

In the 8 bit graphics area, they had to try hard to convey the concept of "meat". The details of the particular meat dish were beyond their capabilities. It probably most looks like a rack of lamb.

Whatever they intended it to be at Konami, it always made me want some as a kid 😁

Wizard needs food…badly.

Too bad, because Warrior shot the food.

Trash can turkey

Trash can turkey

Aged to PERFECTION.

u/SquareTetrisBlock 1d ago

A local delicacy in Metro City.

u/whoknows130 1d ago

That's WHY the Mad Gear Gang is so obsessed with taking over. To get all that trash-can turkey for THEMSELVES!

“Hey, Mayor, maybe after we’re done “finally fighting” all the street crime, we can address the people eating Trash Can turkey for health problem.”

Then he punches my lights out and marries his daughter off to the strongest Metro Cityzen.

Street meat

Remember, don't shoot food.

Elf shot the food!

Funny that the Reddit ad I got just above this is for e.l.f. Cosmetics...

u/TJ_McWeaksauce 23h ago

A full, roasted turkey is the worst thing to eat in the middle of a street fight, considering how it makes you feel sleepy after eating it.

2

u/Supermoves3000 19h ago

And the stuffing gives me gas, tbh. So embarrassing during a boss fight.

u/OskeyBug 18h ago

I love the idea of a contractor leaving turkeys in the walls just in case.

u/WeeklyPhilosopher346 16h ago

Gangsters won’t kidnap your girlfriend anymore.

Because of woke.

u/Rekt0Rama 1d ago

When you have that many muscles you need to eat a full turkey every 60 secs

u/sick_of-it-all 17h ago

This doesn’t make sense. Because of “woke” you can’t eat chicken in video games?

https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/cracker-barrel-backlash-americans-sick-having-our-culture-heritage-stripped-from-us-starbuck-says

Starbuck, a Visiting Fellow for the Capital Markets Initiative at The Heritage Foundation who acknowledged that he is "pretty well-known at this point for turning companies away from wokeness," believes Americans appreciate Cracker Barrel’s iconic, pre-remodeled decor.

Do Republicans make sense when they call everything "woke"? Donald Trump personally got involved in that Cracker Barrel rebranding.

u/sick_of-it-all 11h ago

You seem to be a little unhinged and maybe you’re focusing on internet political discourse too much. Maybe try unplugging for a while, it can really be bad in one’s mental health. 

1

u/TheOsirisOfThisShit_ 10h ago

You think it's normal that the President of the United States called the CEO of Cracker Barrel to complain about their new logo? That's the country you want to live in?

u/Jewellious 5h ago

Aren’t we still talking about video game floor turkey power ups?

0

u/TheOsirisOfThisShit_ 5h ago

We were talking about Republicans calling dumb things "woke". You weren't talking about anything. Thanks for jumping in.

0

u/Jewellious 5h ago

I was referring to how much your latest comment has diverged from your titled post.

Sir, this is Reddit everyone is always jumping in from somewhere.

u/TheOsirisOfThisShit_ 5h ago

Sorry if you weren't smart enough to catch the explicit connection between those two things. I know following simple conversations is difficult for a Republican.

0

u/Jewellious 5h ago

I do. I understand your joke, you’ve explained it many times now.

I’m just here for the 80s fun and nostalgia. If you want to politically label people, be my guest.

u/TheOsirisOfThisShit_ 4h ago

Cool. Sorry your beliefs are so embarrassing to you.

u/FINALFIGHTfan 20h ago

Someone gave me a turkey before a fight, and I looked at them, and "I threw it on the ground!"

u/Poultrygeist74 1d ago

OP has apparently never played Vampire Survivors

u/Popular_Base_1141 1d ago

You better believe it.

u/Anywhichwaybuttight 20h ago

In this house we wip brick wall to get a turkey on Thanksgiving!

u/Eon88 17h ago

Because of woke? What?

-1

u/TheOsirisOfThisShit_ 13h ago

It's making fun of Republicans calling everything "woke". Like when the President got involved in Cracker Barrel's rebranding.

0

u/sick_of-it-all 11h ago

It makes no sense. It’s just weird. 

-1

u/TheSecretDecoderRing 11h ago

Eating turkeys you find on the ground to replenish your energy in the middle of a fight is weird. That's the premise for the joke.

-3

u/sick_of-it-all 11h ago

I understand what the joke is supposed to be. I don’t know why it’d be considered “woke”. Unless, maybe you don’t know what that word means, is that the problem? 

2

u/TheSecretDecoderRing 11h ago

It's making fun of people who don't know what it means, and use it to blame stuff on. "Grr, you can't say that anymore because woke people complain!"

Like no one is genuinely upset that modern video games don't have turkey power-ups anymore. And even if they did, they're not gonna blame it on diversity advocates or social justice or political correctness.

-1

u/sick_of-it-all 9h ago

Lol. Ok. Whatever you say, I guess. Really clever joke. But I don't think it'll catch on and be a hit.

1

u/TheOsirisOfThisShit_ 8h ago

It caught on enough for you to write 40 comments about it.

u/everythingbeeps 4h ago

EDIT: Nevermind. I replied before I noticed you're the guy spamming the replies. Forget I said anything.

u/OrderlyRoddyPiper 8h ago

I think it’s just making fun of all people who call any change from yesteryear “woke.” Not necessarily just Republicans. AOC said “woke 1 was crazy”

1

u/everythingbeeps 4h ago

No, it's Republicans.

0

u/TheSecretDecoderRing 13h ago

I think/hope it's just a joke about people mindlessly blaming things that got phased out of existence on "wokeness."

u/sick_of-it-all 17h ago

Something something the “blank can’t meme”.

u/TravoBasic 17h ago

As common as bleach containers in third person shooters.

u/Kuildeous 13h ago

I think also Rampage? I cannot confirm as my image search is failing me. Though why eat turkey when you can eat the person in the bathtub?

u/Briankelly130 6h ago

You could tell they were PC'ing it up by the late 90s when Tekken 3 replaced it with chicken.

A salad with fried bugs in it is better for your health and the environment
