Worth mentioning he's half a God, the universal will trolled him when he was destroying half of i-no and is the most powerful magic user on top of being it's creator
cause why use anything when you can use the most forbidden weapon in the series being a fucking normal gun, literally a normal gun nothing else then normal bullets and some of chaos magic to make it even more deadly
Happy Chaos is the kind of guy to tell the most motivational and inspiring discourse ever to someone right after reciting the low tier god speech to them
"Life is too interesting to end. The world shouldn't stay so dull and boring. I'm gonna make it all interesting with the power of friendship, magic and these guns I found."
yay for guns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone says Sol's theme is "a bar fight where you're winning" Then HC's theme is watching that same bar fight and act like it's in the same calibur as a football match
Leo's theme is literally that but... "It's a bar fight where you're winning without intending to/It's a bar fight where you were losing but pulled out the comeback of the year")
Would've loved if he just randomly spawns a chair and dashes towards the enemy while continuing to spin in the chair before getting launched off into the direction of the enemy.
Just wanted to remind you guys, the gun he has is actually a super powerful magical artefact he created. Yet he mainly fights with the totally inert copy of said gun that he also created too. I think he pulls out the original only for his super, thus deus ex machina. He pulls it purely for the fun surprise factor. God I absolutely adore this dude.
Another thing as a reminder: The authentic gun is only one out of the five that exist in ALL dimensions and universes in the entire series. The second one he has and any other gun that appears (such as in one of his round end scenes where multiple guns pop out of nowhere) are all replicas
The best part about happy chaos as a villan is that HE WON, he didnt lose.He came and did what he did, outdid everyone and flawlessly executed his plans
While PURPOSFULLY sabotaging himself might I add, he literally went and got nago so that the heros could kill him, as well as not pursuing sol himself among other things.
@@manuelacuna4188 he believes that humanity is the greatest thing, but for it to grow and thrive, it needs something to unite against, the gears, the universal will, justice, that man (which is chaos and Asuka btw). And through that hardship will it grow, he is willing to be that banner to unite against, hes chaotic neutral through and through.
@@manuelacuna4188 his basic thinking is like " humanity thrive and unite better if there's an obstacle in the way so I'll be the obstacle for humanity to unite and thrive"
I love how Happy Chaos just refuses to make sense. Its not because of bad writing, no, he LITERALLY just refuses. He will do whatever he finds to be the most fun, and that's about it.
Happy chaos: finally, after 10 years, the scroll of truth Scroll of truth: the answer to something Happy chaos 2 seconds later: what was I doing again?
I think it's a philosophical answer about the upper conclusion of satisfaction that is the chicken producing what become a delicious meal and preserve themselves to do so on repeat has more meaning than some arbitrary baseline. So Humanity as a striving existence of varied people matters more to him than any specific individual. Or lol so randumb.
@@MintJammer I took it more to mean that the need for chickens and eggs stemmed from a need for omelettes, that since humanity craved omelettes they domesticated chickens
@@MintJammer Or maybe he answered omelette because wherever chicken comes first, egg comes first, omelette comes first, or whatever comes first, the first one must be exists even though it's unexplainable
“It took me 10 years to find the answers to something, I forgot about in 2 seconds.” Me trying to find that one elusive song, by listing lyrics on google.
Very interesting interpretation. Mine is that he studied something of interest relentlessly for so long only to drop it once he figured everything out because a solved puzzle can never be unsolved. Which is boring.
I stand by the opinion that while Happy Chaos is an antagonist, he is, by no means, a villain, and this theme really makes that clear. Particularly, the line about blue skies, saying that's all he wants in the end. I think this means that he's causing chaos like this not only because it's fun to him, but because he simply loves humanity and how they react to the things he causes. Even when he gets absorbed(?) by Ino in Strive's story, he tells Sol and the gang that he hopes they win so that the thing he loves continues on, though now far more connected and willing to work together due to the crisis he caused. In conclusion, the dude's not a villain at all and deserves to come back later I fucking love this man.
He's definitely got villainous aspects to him, but I'd agree that he's really more *alien* than he is evil. I've compared him to Star Trek's Q because of how little he seems to care about individual lives.

I mean, he put them on the map if you ask me. Yeah, Elphelt is nice and may be a bit broken, but Happy Chaos is just nonchalantly stylish and makes anything he says and do look badass. Elphelt feels much more like a side character compared to Happy Chaos.
Happy Chaos is one of the most entertaining, scene stealing villains I've seen in quite some time, and his theme suits his name quite well. Honestly, I can only hope we see more of him someday.
@@dabiggestratintown He also makes a quick appearance in Another Story. Not a huge appearance but more of a "blink and you'll miss it" appearance. And since he's the driving force for both Delilah and Baiken in Another Story, he'll definitely return.
after listening to the gravity, this honestly hits even harder having asuka as the guy trying to make sense of the world and finding meaning in it, while happy chaos is a person who relishes in there not being a meaning to anything, is honestly so genius by daisuke i never noticed this despite happy chaos being my favourite character in guilty gear and i'm sad about that
Happy Chaos and Asuka are polar opposites. The latter is a human distancing himself from humanity to achieve enlightenment and divinity which has caused him to perform atrocities in the name of ascension. Happy Chaos is an enlightened being that is non human. He has a love for humanity that he is prepared to be a scapegoat if it will prevent humanity from destroying itself. One distances themselves for enlightenment, the other grounds himself because he is already enlightened.
I like to feel like Happy Chaos is the 'natural' conclusion for the average person if they just suddenly discovered and learned to use godlike powers. Might as well do as many fun, chaotic, and outlandish things as possible. It's appealing to both the sane and insane
me personally i would make water into vine ,walk on water, and make bread out of nothing and gave it away if i suddenly discovered godlike powers. but that's just me
Nah just your average irish dude who lived for way too long so you wanna enjoy the little things and not giving a fuck, just trying to enjoy himself since he knows everything so everything is basically boring
I just love that final chorus. It's so hopeful, the calm after the storm that Happy Chaos himself caused while describing the irony of humanity and all living things who want peace through war, and how fun it is for him to the point he asks "Who would want to stop this?". He wants the grand finale, the post credits, the climax of the story, and so he acts on it as an antagonist to a cast full of protagonists without a cause, a single finite man on the infinite universe who causes a little mayhem so things don't grow stale. In the end, he just wants to have fun.
I don't know anything about the Guilty Gears story, but the guy gives me the vibes of someone who becomes the world-end threatening villain, not because he actually wants to destroy the world, but just because he wants the heroes to eventually succeed and the world rejoice in the victory. He just wants everyone to have something actually exciting to happen in their lives to remember.
You sure didnt known the story before cause that straight up his story. Plus he has no connection to anything and dosent care about anything and because of that everything is amazing to him.
@@berserker4861 Well, to be fair, I saw Strive trailers when the game was coming out, so I had the general idea of this guy being the villain, with him blowing up the building and all. But other than that, nope lol, didn't know anything about Strive's actual plot or the plot of previous games, the song is just that good at describing his character.
@@kescaremon2531 MOst Strive themes lyrics manage to get the characters personality across perfectly, even the ones with wackier sounding lyrics. its a talent of Daisuke's that happens because he both writes the songs, came up with like 95% of the character concepts, and directed the entire plot so it all molds together around his vision with everyone else coming together to support it and make it real.
@@superj7771 He's basically a God that just fucks around the entire fight, hence why he prefers using guns rather than legitimate magic as his first choice of assault
This guy’s music is fascinating. Maybe 40% of it doesn’t land for me, but I don’t mind because I appreciate the experimentalism too much! And the stuff that does land _really_ lands!
i love the "two hundred eyes on me, there's a hundred of me" and "a hundred mouths speak of me, a hundred of me will be born", followed by "the truth is not always real". Even if 100 ppl see or talk about the same thing, each one will still perceive things different because of their own way of thinking, therefore yes, what they see and talk might be true, but not real.
Oh damn, I didn't even think about it this way, but it sounds awesome. I just figured that these lines refered to his nigh-omnipotent, all-knowing nature, but it now sounds kinda dumb in comparison to your version.
It could also refer to how he can look into other timelines and maybe, in each one, he sees himself staring back. That explains why he's so casual in his mirror match intros, he's done this exact song and dance who knows how many times.
@@grantowens7537 From Genius, it said that these lyrics "A hundred of mouthes speaks of me, a hundred of me will be born" means that whatever people say about Happy Chaos, in his shoes (or his lack of shoes), they would do the same thing he did.
As someone with ADHD, I can confirm that I have a large black halo floating above my head at all times, blue skin, chiseled abs, white hair, and a cool chest tattoo that means absolutely buttfuck nothing.
@@Ivy64_ Crazy thing is, I have the exact same muscular and slim body as Chaos and also the same height, even the same birthday. I just don't have long hair :(
Happy Chaos is the very definition of the Magnificent Bastard in Writing He came in, had a blast, played his role to the hilt, executed every plan with a smile & a sense of optimism & a glass half full mindset, never once had to shout or yell, walked up to every other Character with casual bravado & humor, never once loosing his cool
I think you captured him in just that paragraph he's just calm, collected and positive. Ultimately playing that he likes a suprise despite the terrifying fact he could simply stop it with his powers

Happy chaos: A literal god with unimaginable power and impeccable fashion sense who can beat the entire rest of the cast EASILY if he felt like it. Instead of any of that, he just pulls out the gat and starts blasting.
god bless the japanese writing a rock opera in english for a character theme that goes from a shinedown/soundgardenish to avenged sevenfold, to a straight up jazzy-meatloaf sound and back with the blessed engrish This isn't a song... it's a journey
I originally associated Crawl with Happy Chaos, but not anymore. Like all the character themes from Strive, this is fucking perfect. Ishiwatari-sama knocks it out of the park again! Frankly, I feel like the music is a big part of why Guilty Gear is my favorite fighting game series. Without that factor, King of Fighters would probably beat it.
I like how this song basically doesn't reflect how Chaos used to be at all besides the infamous stanza about 10 years and 2 seconds. Unlike most characters who've changed a lot from their original selves and are motivated in part by the knowledge of their pasts, Chaos does not care about that AT ALL anymore. Sure, he remembers some things, but he doesn't treasure or hate those old memories any more than he does the new ones he makes.
Wait, so you reuploaded this for spiny chair? Great stuff. Happy Chaos is the Joker of Guilty Gear Strive, he’s crazy, blah blah blah, you guys get it. Anyway, I must say it again because this song is so good. CERTIFIED. BOP.
Nah the original lyrics were wrong like, “Its my show playing now” was actually “Which way should we go” and “There can be” was actually “There can’t be”
I love how at 5:21 it sounds like a recorder is being played alongside the rest of the instruments. Something Happy Chaos is said to enjoy as an easy-to-learn instrument.
@@RandomL0s3rnot just powerful, but out of all universes, only 5 of that gun exist. We’re talking absurdly powerful. He just uses a replica gun while saving this op ancient relic for gun tricks. This man truly doesn’t give a shit.
Happy chaos. The guy who 90% of the time will subvert your expectations by doing something else. Then doing the shit he was gonna do before then doing something completely out of left field right after
I kinda wish the whole song was the jazz swing of the intro. It's still good but I would make it really stand out. also it still fits cause jazz in inherently chaotic
Happy Chaos's guns are so fucking funny to me man, Crescent Moon is an extremely rare gun with only five versions of it existing across the multiverse, but he also just so happens to have a fucking *replica* of the thing because why not.
A hundred mouths speak of me *A hundred of me will be born* The truth is not always real Really fits more with the other lines than "A hundred bodies will be born" did.
He's the villain because he knows humanity will come out the other side stronger. He's alright with being the bad guy, the monster, if it means humanity moves forward.
@@buggman6086 man literally ascended over the concept of good and bad, he chooses to do all this because if he didn’t humanity wouldn’t have a common goal or anything interesting
I just noticed something that's either me looking far too deep into things or me being an absolute genius. Happy Chaos' song has a part before the chorus where he mentions two hundred eyes and a hundred of him. I think, in my semi faded state, that it's perception. Every single person that sees him has a different way of seeing him. This also works for the next time it happens. Hundred mouths, hundred of him, everybody is telling a different version of him. The lines after these make it apparent what he wants. He wants to see how he's seen continue because it's a show that humanity survived to a blue sky, he wants that, a future after the danger where stories are told about it and who fought in jt
Testament: "There's beauty in all things." (Unphased and immovable) Happy Chaos: "I see the _Beauty_ in *EVERYTHING!"* (Unhinged and unstoppable) Jack-O: "It's all so AMAZING to EXPERIENCE!" (?)
After careful reading. I thought about the lyrics a lot "200 eyes on me, there's hundreds of me" I believe it means that there are hundreds pairs of eyes that are making hundreds of images of someone. The truth is not always real. So is "hundreds of mouths speak of me, hundreds of me will be born" It means that every time someone talks about him, it's just another image of him from someone's description. Can't believe it took me this long to try to share this information when I heard the song
"There's no way you'll believe me when I say this but I'm really hoping you guys win because I'd like to see you again" - Happy Chaos to the people he's been antagonizing after creating a new God
Honestly the song could've ended already at 0:25 and it would've been totally legit, explanable, accurate to Happy Chaos and perfect. But the other 5 Minutes something are also good ngl
A villain who became the bad guy simply because he wanted humanity to grow and improve by becoming less stagnate and overcome his challenges. that is a chad move honestly

"you're telling me your pointy head's empty ?"
"Not exactly.
Problem is, there's too mutch in here."
Oddly horrifying. Despite the Animation quality of the rest of movie they nailed every scene with Chaos.
Happy Chaos is just a guy with ADHD, magic, and a gun he can barely use.
I don't know anything about the Guilty Gears story, but the guy gives me the vibes of someone who becomes the world-end threatening villain, not because he actually wants to destroy the world, but just because he wants the heroes to eventually succeed and the world rejoice in the victory. He just wants everyone to have something actually exciting to happen in their lives to remember.
Well you got it on the money mate
Jackpot
You sure didnt known the story before cause that straight up his story. Plus he has no connection to anything and dosent care about anything and because of that everything is amazing to him.
@@berserker4861 Well, to be fair, I saw Strive trailers when the game was coming out, so I had the general idea of this guy being the villain, with him blowing up the building and all. But other than that, nope lol, didn't know anything about Strive's actual plot or the plot of previous games, the song is just that good at describing his character.
@@kescaremon2531 MOst Strive themes lyrics manage to get the characters personality across perfectly, even the ones with wackier sounding lyrics. its a talent of Daisuke's that happens because he both writes the songs, came up with like 95% of the character concepts, and directed the entire plot so it all molds together around his vision with everyone else coming together to support it and make it real.

You hate fighting some of the characters
But damn are they cool
Like Leo!
Me see Happy Chaos every time: OH MY GOD HE SO GOD DAMN COOL!!!
Playing against him: but he so cool, but his playstyle is so dumb
I like fighting everyone
@@superj7771 He's basically a God that just fucks around the entire fight, hence why he prefers using guns rather than legitimate magic as his first choice of assault
"You hate fighting all the characters
But damn are they cool"
Sounds more accurate XD

This guy’s music is fascinating. Maybe 40% of it doesn’t land for me, but I don’t mind because I appreciate the experimentalism too much! And the stuff that does land _really_ lands!

i love the "two hundred eyes on me, there's a hundred of me" and "a hundred mouths speak of me, a hundred of me will be born", followed by "the truth is not always real".
Even if 100 ppl see or talk about the same thing, each one will still perceive things different because of their own way of thinking, therefore yes, what they see and talk might be true, but not real.
Oh damn, I didn't even think about it this way, but it sounds awesome. I just figured that these lines refered to his nigh-omnipotent, all-knowing nature, but it now sounds kinda dumb in comparison to your version.
IS THAT WHAT THOSE LINES MEAN?! Hot damn I never figured it out, that’s genius!
It could also refer to how he can look into other timelines and maybe, in each one, he sees himself staring back. That explains why he's so casual in his mirror match intros, he's done this exact song and dance who knows how many times.
@@grantowens7537 From Genius, it said that these lyrics "A hundred of mouthes speaks of me, a hundred of me will be born" means that whatever people say about Happy Chaos, in his shoes (or his lack of shoes), they would do the same thing he did.

Happy Chaos is the very definition of the Magnificent Bastard in Writing
He came in, had a blast, played his role to the hilt, executed every plan with a smile & a sense of optimism & a glass half full mindset, never once had to shout or yell, walked up to every other Character with casual bravado & humor, never once loosing his cool
I think you captured him in just that paragraph he's just calm, collected and positive. Ultimately playing that he likes a suprise despite the terrifying fact he could simply stop it with his powers

So if Happy Chaos is basically Omniscient, does that mean he's seen R34 of himself?
And if so he must be real powerful to keep his will to live.
He probably has but doesn't understand why most of it is him genderbent
Would that mean he's seen all the porn in the world in one second? What the fuck is he made of to still live after seeing all that sh*t

Happy chaos is the type of the guy which comes to a birthday party with a gun, everyone is scared, gives the coolest and most expensive gift to the birthday boy, leaves
He is the cool uncle
Happy chaos:
A literal god with unimaginable power and impeccable fashion sense who can beat the entire rest of the cast EASILY if he felt like it.
Instead of any of that, he just pulls out the gat and starts blasting.

This isn't a song... it's a journey
I originally associated Crawl with Happy Chaos, but not anymore. Like all the character themes from Strive, this is fucking perfect. Ishiwatari-sama knocks it out of the park again!
Frankly, I feel like the music is a big part of why Guilty Gear is my favorite fighting game series. Without that factor, King of Fighters would probably beat it.
Crawl fits more with Nagoryuki since it literally plays during Level 8 of any Arcade run of this game.
@@GamingCreed47 crawl is about nagoriyuki despising happy chaos specifically
@@epicgamersauce3516 Chaos the type of guy to have a theme dedicated to how despised he is
@@Knightgob true lol
I like how this song basically doesn't reflect how Chaos used to be at all besides the infamous stanza about 10 years and 2 seconds. Unlike most characters who've changed a lot from their original selves and are motivated in part by the knowledge of their pasts, Chaos does not care about that AT ALL anymore. Sure, he remembers some things, but he doesn't treasure or hate those old memories any more than he does the new ones he makes.
Wait, so you reuploaded this for spiny chair? Great stuff.
Happy Chaos is the Joker of Guilty Gear Strive, he’s crazy, blah blah blah, you guys get it. Anyway, I must say it again because this song is so good.
CERTIFIED. BOP.
Nah the original lyrics were wrong like, “Its my show playing now” was actually “Which way should we go” and “There can be” was actually “There can’t be”
@@giz1006 I know. I just like to think that the only thing they changed is the spiny chair.

I've heard this song so much that I can't imagine Happy Chaos' voice as anything but Naoki's.
I love how at 5:21 it sounds like a recorder is being played alongside the rest of the instruments. Something Happy Chaos is said to enjoy as an easy-to-learn instrument.
Thank god we've escaped 360p chaos, Im now Happy
I still can't get over the fact that they gave this skrunkly lad a fucking .44 magnum revolver as his main weapon.
They gave him the magic one that is really powerful
Then he decides to use the replica which is literally just a gun because where's the fun in that
Yet it does less damage than a femboy's ass...
@@RandomL0s3rnot just powerful, but out of all universes, only 5 of that gun exist. We’re talking absurdly powerful. He just uses a replica gun while saving this op ancient relic for gun tricks. This man truly doesn’t give a shit.

A true Happy Chaos moment. It's what he would have wanted.
This sounds like a panic attack and I am in a constant state of flux between 'this is a banger' and 'turn it off'. I love it.
I desire him carnally
i mean he kinda cute
He silli
Happy chaos. The guy who 90% of the time will subvert your expectations by doing something else. Then doing the shit he was gonna do before then doing something completely out of left field right after
It took me 10 years to find an actual good song. I was hooked into it in 2 seconds.
I kinda wish the whole song was the jazz swing of the intro.
It's still good but I would make it really stand out.
also it still fits cause jazz in inherently chaotic
the chaos would not be there without that erratic mess of a genre-swapping soundtrack.
@@tgdevourer that's a fun interpretation.
I like that
I always thought that it kinda represents happy Chaos. He's all goofy and stuff, but he's still the antagonist and is very important in the story
Happy Chaos's guns are so fucking funny to me man, Crescent Moon is an extremely rare gun with only five versions of it existing across the multiverse, but he also just so happens to have a fucking *replica* of the thing because why not.
The one he shoots with mainly, the best part *IS THE REPLICA*
His Jump Slash is the actual real cosmic gun. He is reloading for the fun of it.
oh my god???????@@xAnarchRadiostar
I still headcanon Happy Chaos as a self-insert for Daisuke, just doing whatever he feels like to write a good story and have a laugh
The updated lyrics are amazing
A hundred mouths speak of me
*A hundred of me will be born*
The truth is not always real
Really fits more with the other lines than "A hundred bodies will be born" did.
Huh. That's actually a really deep metaphor.
Okay but "It's my show playing now" was a much cooler lyric
mad that it´s possible to hear both of them if try to
Holy shit, the real train guy SUPAH?
This is absolutely perfect thank you for doing god's work
Those first lines…
*RELATABLE*
Happy chaos is a villain that’s genuinely happy
So basically the joker if he used a really funky magical gun
Not a villain, more of an antagonist to the world, but wishes for the world’s best ending
He's the villain because he knows humanity will come out the other side stronger.
He's alright with being the bad guy, the monster, if it means humanity moves forward.
@@buggman6086 man literally ascended over the concept of good and bad, he chooses to do all this because if he didn’t humanity wouldn’t have a common goal or anything interesting
This never gets old
Because I keep forgetting the lyrics
I love how fucking Jesus has one of the best songs in the damn series
I just noticed something that's either me looking far too deep into things or me being an absolute genius. Happy Chaos' song has a part before the chorus where he mentions two hundred eyes and a hundred of him. I think, in my semi faded state, that it's perception. Every single person that sees him has a different way of seeing him. This also works for the next time it happens. Hundred mouths, hundred of him, everybody is telling a different version of him. The lines after these make it apparent what he wants. He wants to see how he's seen continue because it's a show that humanity survived to a blue sky, he wants that, a future after the danger where stories are told about it and who fought in jt
that's how I interpreted those lyrics too, good job 👍
YES YOU UPDATED THE LYRICS LETS GOOOOO
Testament: "There's beauty in all things." (Unphased and immovable)

@@Eshtianand did he forget about it in 2 seconds
After careful reading. I thought about the lyrics a lot
"200 eyes on me, there's hundreds of me"
I believe it means that there are hundreds pairs of eyes that are making hundreds of images of someone. The truth is not always real.
So is "hundreds of mouths speak of me, hundreds of me will be born"
It means that every time someone talks about him, it's just another image of him from someone's description.
Can't believe it took me this long to try to share this information when I heard the song
This make senses for his philosophical thoughts.
I FINALLY MEMORIZED THE LYRICS!!!
wait what was it again?
He’s literally him
Happy chaos the type of guy to shoot and kill someone, then just ask “are you dead yet?”
And the gunshot was point-blank in the face😂
And not wait for a response before shooting like 20 more shots
The start always makes me smile. So good.
Other fighting game origins be like:
"my greatest enemy is actually my fathers, uncles, grandmas friends room mate"
Happy chaos:
"i forgor lol"
"I just like fucking with y'all, lmao."
Honestly the song really grew on me and it hits very hard is is personal in some way
I always thought when he said "I'll just be a black sea", he was saying "I'll just be a prophecy"
"There's no way you'll believe me when I say this but I'm really hoping you guys win because I'd like to see you again" - Happy Chaos to the people he's been antagonizing after creating a new God
Love how on all of them he syncs the video to the song and this one has to be my most favorite.
Thank you newspaper man, you will be remembered
Of all the genres for daisuke to take inspiration from, "disney princess" was not one that i was expecting
Honestly the song could've ended already at 0:25 and it would've been totally legit, explanable, accurate to Happy Chaos and perfect.
But the other 5 Minutes something are also good ngl
Imagine he just goes "THATS ABOUT ITTTTTTT" and it stops, that would have been so goofy and I'm almost sad we didn't get that. Almost.
A villain who became the bad guy simply because he wanted humanity to grow and improve by becoming less stagnate and overcome his challenges.
that is a chad move honestly
4:12 Happy Chaos turns into a Disney Princess for a bit, and it's wonderful
This song sounds like you hit shuffle on a playlist with only one song
this upbeat, jazzy, chaotic amalgamation of a song perfect displays this guy as a character, certified banger!
“It too me 10 years to find the answers to something. I forgot about it in 2 seconds.”
Same, bro. My memory sucked.
