It's viewed as more of an old people / old couple / peasant routine thing over here, and not a norm, but still well known enough for the reactions in that thread to

me. (Not including "sugar daddies" and stuff like that, of course.).

Am I the only one hoping that Sony puts out a new Home for PSVR, and delivering on the vision of the original? (...) Decorate your apartment (or environment from your favorite game) with your Bloodborne hunting trophies or your VR pets and waifus (...) Seems like a license to print money with dlc and ads.

Yes.

Smoking discussion on the Internet is one of the most pointless thing ever. Once the person is aware of the health and general issues, who cares what he or she does ?

Also a bit amused by BobbyRoberts saying smoking will soon be for the museums. I can see the current Western health policy standards eventually spreading quite fast, but tobacco is as popular and profitable as ever in every other markets right now.

I thought he voiced his reasoning for why he likes that game a lot pretty well here:

The tl;dw being that its a solid shooter that, surprisingly from EA, was a $60 complete package with tons of gameplay modes, features and things to do without any of the predatory practices that a lot of the big publishers do, such as pre-order DLC, day one DLC, or trying to sell a game with barely any content for $60 (like a certain recent publisher did). Hell, its first big content update is free as well.

That's not the problem though ? I imagine he was actually granted access as a tourist by NK authorities, considering how tight the control is. I'd say he was actually entitled to do that, within whatever limits it entails (not breaking the law being one). The issue here really seems to be how heavy the punishment is for a petty offence, regardless of he is guilty or not, which can be another debate.

I remember thinking it was a pretty cool sounding adventure when Drew from Giant Bomb went and did that live show with his photos. But the more I thought about it the more it sank in that there's no real benefit to it. It's not a cultural exchange like it was when students and tourists visited the Soviet Union in the 70s and 80s. It's not humanitarian, either. Nor is it journalism. It's gulag porn.
