3% if I can use my phone to tap. I don’t even need my wallet to fuck myself.

It's always better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.

By the way, if you see your mother this weekend, tell her "Satan! Satan! Satan!"

Don't do it dude(tte). Save up for it. The game will still be there in a while, it will have received some bugfixing patches, mods will be developed, and on top of that the parts will probably be cheaper by then.

Oh and, nearly forgot my personal favourite, if I'm about to do something stupid, I say

"if I die from this, you have to write it on my gravestone."

I probably say that one way too often for my age...
