So underrated.

It's so underrated.

It's been in my like top you know top emojis recently.

Coffins always been around for me

and yeah I think it's like you know

it's like a good solid, staple emoji you know.

You can like respond to a lot of things with a coffin.

It's very quick and easy.

Ends conversations too,

which is good if you're feeling anti-social, you know.

I'm not mad at Comic Sans.

I know it's really fucking basic and it also looks gross,

but like there's like a bit like

my heart kinda goes out to Comic Sans a little bit

because it's like the font

you would always use in school and like you know

when you're trying to make a project look funky.

So, you know and I think it looks better when it's in color

cuz then it looks like it's the fun font

rather than like the serious font.

So, there's a, yeah Comic Sans, I feel you.

(sigh) VR, the word on everyone's lips.

It's hard to rate at the moment I would say like

I think there's so many there's so much potential for VR,

but it's like no one really knows

what to do with it just yet,

you know, it's kind of like 3D, like everyone

when 3D came out, everyone was like,

3D. Let's make everything in 3D for no reason.

You know and like I feel like

VR is kind of like getting over that phase now a bit.

Like, if you can work out a really cool thing to do with VR

then it's great and it's just like VR for VR's sake

then like what's the point.

That is just like perfect.

That's underrated.

I think people complain about that quite a lot

like you get a lot of shit for doing that

because you just like smell and you're like lazy

and you just like eat in bed all day,

but like eating in bed all day is up there

on my like list of hobbies.

I would say now more than ever selling out is underrated.

(chuckles) Like, I think selling out is kind of funny

like if you sell out in the worst way possible,

like you know I'm doing like mac and cheese

but it's like glitter flavored mac and cheese

like that's kind of fun.

But you know I think that's the thing

if you're gonna sell out, you have to really commit

and like go the full way.

Not like try and hide it.

You have to commit

and like stick that brand all over your body and wear it.
