Andy: Listen, mom, I'm sorry about all that stuff I dumped on you last night. Grandma: Nonsense. But I do think you underestimate your own worth. It's so obvious to me how crazy everyone here is about you! I mean, look at your children! Have you ever seen such total admiration? Jason/Paige/Peter: We love you, mom!!! Andy: You switched our presents, didn't you? Grandma: Even the truth needs help now and then. Jason: I can't believe mom got us a Jupiter-64! Peter: Um, thanks for the thesaurus, grandma.

Several books later, Jason draws a comic strip of his Mom as the Grinch, because he feels that she’s “too cheap for Christmas”. How do you think his Grandma would have reacted if she saw her daughter portrayed that way? Here’s how I’d expect her to react:
“Jason, honey, Christmas isn’t about just material things, such as presents, decorations, food, and songs. The most important part of it is being together with loved ones. In fact, I’m starting to see why she feels resentment towards me—maybe I have a tendency to focus too much on the material aspects of the holidays myself. She’s trying to get you, Peter, Paige, and your father to understand that holidays should be celebrated in the healthiest, most humane, and least wasteful ways possible. In fact, we should all consider how lucky we are to be able to afford to celebrate the holidays with material things at all. A shocking number of people can scarcely even afford to celebrate the holidays with food. That’s another important part of Christmas…helping those in need. Obviously, it should be done as often as possible, not just during the holidays. Your father may think that I’m perfect, but he’s mistaken. Even if your parents could afford a jet ski, would you really want them to give you one as a Christmas gift? This type of recreation creates a lot of noise pollution, and it often fatally injures marine creatures such as dolphins. A book of poetry seems like a decent gift to me”.

Jupiter Gamestation 64. So is it the Saturn, Ps1, and N64 with all their advantages combined to make a super console? If so that would be amazing. You’d have infinite plane rendering, quality voice samples, and great polyginal power. Oh, its a comic and not real? :(
