Freezing today.

Saw an article over on [email protected], which suggested the possibility of cash going extinct. I hope that we at least have some low cost/free method of dealing with it that doesn't have processing fees and surcharges if that's the case.

Related to the minor gripe of the day: went to a cafe in the city that didn't take cash, but also had a 5-10% card surcharge. Isn't that just a markup pretending to not be a markup at that point?}

For an interesting fact of the day, discovered a song on Spotify that seems to rehash Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl", but with a different lyrics, in a different language, claiming to be an original song, which is interesting.

I've got complicated feelings about 6, it's one of my favorite RPGs ever, and since it's always seemingly in the shadow of FF7 in some ways a full 3D version would give it the attention it deserves.

However it's absolutely not a story that needs a "remake". Everything from the character designs (kefka is brilliant) to the scenes cough opera cough and subplots are near perfect, they would just benefit from getting a full glow up. (I do love ATB but using the recent battle systems from Remake would likely be very fun... I can just imagine fighting Atma Weapon would be awesome)

Do I trust current square to do this though? Nope. Not at all.

Car dropped off for replacement of suspension and mounts. Will the price be what was quoted, or will the find something else massively wrong...find out later on I Have No Money to Pay For This.

Did anyone here have to coach their kid on how to swallow tablets?... Not something I thought I would need to do with kidcalhoon1, so far, no dice.
