      Idk man, sounds like you just started to love it’s mistakes as much as the things it’s actually had going for it. I don’t love it but I don’t hate it, I see its appeal but by no means is this a “masterpiece”. If it is for you, I can’t deny it. I just have to say that it is a weird gold standard that you have, dude. No hate though.
