The sad thing is that 60 digital outfits for $10 would seem like a good deal these days.
I’ll give you one digital outfit for $30. Final offer.

I went sailing today.
How was your punch bowl filled with diamonds 1%er
Bittersweet. It was a shakedown sail with a surveyor. I’m selling my yacht because those microtransactions aren’t working out.
