Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi.

I’ll meet you halfway. FF8 was the sign saying “Cliff ahead” and FFX was the plunge into the abyss.

It became trendy to hate it, really. I remember lost of praise at release, and quite a few fans, but about 5 or so years after the fact you started to see the hate as FF7 became something of a genre in itself.

When I played FF8 back in 1998, I really liked it. It was the first FF I played by myself first, rather than through a friend. The draw system went a bit over my head, and so I ended up in a bottleneck boss by the end of disc 3 and never finished. Nonetheless, the music, story, and combat had me captivated.

Is that...cheese on a lobster tail? I’m not sure that’s a good idea.

7 hasn’t aged well visually, I grant you that , but it’s still required playing whether you like its endless nostalgia hype or not, because it’s fucking incredible and still top 3 in the series.

Final Fantasy 6.

Investments are not a video game. If you want to pay off your mortgage and plan for your retirement, you take things slow. If you don’t mind going back to eating ramen in a studio apartment, then you pursue volatile markets, such as cryptocurrencies.

You’re stupid if you don’t sell all your BTC to me right now, straight up. I’ll give you one perfect, usable at every McDonalds or Walmart, United States of America Dollar for each one of your silly made up “byte coppers” or whatever they’re called. If you don’t sell it to me today you’ll be regretting it at 12:01am…

I’ve been trading worthless stocks for years. Income from those worthless stocks paid for part of my house and put my kid through college.

The Bitcoin crash has not affected the Dow Jones, NASDAQ, or S & P, proving that cryptocurrencies are a disposable and inconsequential part of the economy. As it should be.

It gets worse - in Walmart several weeks ago, I heard a *cover* of “Happy Xmas (War is Over)“. I mean, Lennon’s version is bad enough, but somebody covering it, apparently in all sincerity...?

He wrote that right before moving to the Central Park West and was basically coasting on the traction he found with Give Peace a Chance. I think by this time he was firmly up his own ass about who he was and how he got there - doing stuff like writing this crap and sending his MBE back.

I like animals and they’re both annoying.

“So This is Christmas” by John Lennon is way worse than the McCartney joint. Paul’s song is lame, but at least it doesn’t take itself too seriously. But the Lennon one - war is over if you want it? The fuck does that even mean?

Nick i’m very angry that “Feliz Navidad” is on this list. It is easily the best Christmas song.

Toss-up between Wonderful Christmastime and that awful live Springsteen version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

Ba humbug much?

“Jingle Bells” barked by dogs. It’s what sent me over the edge into Scroogetown this week.

You must not know anyone who has ever been. Jail and Getting Arrested in general is expensive as hell.
