Re: world's best caffeines and desserts

I often joke with the local barista that if I took my espresso any shorter I might as well just inject it to my veins. So the best caffeine in my opinion is simply Ristretto.
I'd go for 100% cocoa chocolate for dessert.

If we have to call it something, it can be the Original Continuity run. Can't retcon if you don't establish continuity in the first place. I support this idea.

When you transmog, if you don't equip a weapon, the next fight you have the attack button says "Attack with your <previous weapon>" though you are in fact weaponless. The messages are also wrong, using whatever weapon you had equipped before, rather than fisticuffs messages.
