Why am I not allowed to smoke in a game where I can kill, steal and inject other drugs?
>>
The only games I can think of where you can smoke are Vanquish and Metal Gear Solid.
>>
>>344427569
You can also smoke in Do Sex.
>>
you can smoke in some games
>>
>>344427393
Play metal gear dumbass.
>>
>>344427720
I'll take a vial of zyme.
>>
>>344427790

But it drains your fucking health, what kind of bullshit is that? It should at least give you some benefits like feeling relaxed and being able to focus better.
>>
You can in bioshock, too.

It just doesn't add a whole lot to some games, and anyway I think games would, for some reason, get more flak from having tobacco in it than violence

On a side note, this fucking vape law is making me consider switching back to smokes. What used to be a $7 vial of shit is now a fucking $23 do-it-yourself kit because they aren't allowed to mix in-store. Fuck everything
>>
killing, stealing, and drugs are illegal
so you normally wouldn't do these things after seeing them in a game

The North American videogame industry would LOVE to be in the pocket of tobacco companies, but that would probably be the final straw. So they stay away from the easy money.

I still see them in bars sometimes. But I get what you mean. They were pretty much gone by the time they made the game anyway.

There are plenty of games in which causing the protagonist to smoke is one of the actions which the player can perform.

Are you complaining that not every single game has such a feature or that not every single developer wanted to include it?

You might as well be asking,
>Why am I not allowed to untie my left shoe in a game where I can jump, drive cars, and eat food?
>Why am I not allowed to use toilets in a game where I can kill monsters, pick mushrooms, and talk to hookers?
>Why am I not allowed to do backflips in a game where I can stab people, climb buildings, and swim?
>>
>>344430686
Yeah I was trying to avoid saying shit like water or food but it's not a very good argument. I guess my main point was that if I'm allowed to complain about other shit then I should be allowed to complain about smoking prices. People bitch about dumb stuff all the time.
>>
Bioshock let you smoke.
>>
>>344427393
My run was with Archangels so I abstained from it but in Wasteland2 you get to chose what brand your character smoke

Because smoking is worse than murder. So are titties and genitals.

We can use drugs though, and drink, and strangle innocent people, and run them down with cars and tanks, and shoot them to death, and riddle their bodies with bullets, and drown them, and hurl them from buildings, and throw them into traffic, and blow them up, and slice them with lightsabers, and slit their throats, and stab them to death, and tie them to train tracks to have them run over, and kill police, and kill military, and burn nations with nuclear fire, and murder children, and slaughter animals, and bait animals into killing people, and train animals to kill people, and trap people inside buildings until they starve to death, and drown people, and crush people with boulders, and freeze people to death, and cover people with oil before lighting them on fire, and give people diseases that spread and kill brutally, and cause people's head to explode, and shoot men in their genitals to kill them, and drag people to death, and club people to death, and smash a person in the head with a TV set, and sop people to death, and break necks, and commit mass shootings, and disintegrate people with laser beams, and trick people into murdering each other, and hang people with rope or wire, and use magic to turn people into animals then kill and skin them and sell their pelts, and feed people to bears, and poison people.

Smoking and nudity are totally out of the question though. Totally unacceptable.

Feels good not having to smoke anymore.

Now if only I could have that willpower to lose weight.

>>344431593
smoking doesnt even make you feel good compared to other drugs. why fund the corporate machine when you can make spics and niggers kill each other with your hard earned dollar

I think he's talking about games where it would make sense.

In Fallout 3 and New Vegas, you can find cigarettes, packs of smokes and even cartons.
Can you smoke them?
No, but you can inject a violence enhancer, inhale a fuck-yes gas and get hooked on morphine (name-changed to Med-X), but you can't use the smokes you find in abundance.
>>
>>344431030
Smoke rollies then, it's literally like half the price for the same shit.
>>
>>344428001
Plus smoking and putting smokes in ads and the media was a huge issue at some point. I like to smoke every now and then but it's pretty terrible.
>>
>>344433375
Yeah I was thinking about it. I've tried vaping to quit but after this new law was passed everything's gone to shit. I guess I have something new to complain about

I'm exercising daily now, and it's also not as hard as people make it out to be. It's not even about willpower, it's about motivation and you being okay with routine work.

I truly feel bad for the actual lard asses though. Being a little overweight is one thing but people who are 300+ pounds it would take a lot of willpower and dedication.

Smoking's so gross, can't even sniff an American Spirit anymore without feeling like throwing up. And that's especially alarming because I usually smoke 3-4 joints a day.
>>
>>344435263
Losing weight isn't hard you fat piece of shit. You can also speed up your metabolism If you exercise and eat right.
>>
>>344427983
Just quit, man. That's what I did. I switched to vaping, it became a pain in the ass, so then I went back to cigs for a while. Realized there wasn't any point to it and I just quit cold turkey. No cravings or withdrawals, so I was really smoking just to smoke.
>>
>>344434915
It took a lot of dedication to get that fat in the first place.
>>
>>344434196

A ton of people have gym or anxiety in general doing exercise in a shared place. I know I did, then I realized that people either don't care or will have mad respect for you doing that exercise to make yourself better.

Couple that with a gym membership and a decent calorie tracking app and it really isn't that hard to lose 2 pounds a week. You just have to stick with it and not get discouraged at natural weight fluctuation. Lost 10 pounds in a month and I feel great.
>>
>>344435103
It's the act of directly getting that shit into your lungs which is bad, right? How is marijuana or any other substance you can smoke any better? It is a foreign substance after all. This is why people who don't smoke but live in an area with cars (so nearly fucking anywhere) won't have perfectly healthy lungs, because car exhaust and other shit gets into their lungs and of course damages them over time.

No, you are completely wrong. It wholly depends on the substance itself. Oxygen is also a foreign substance by your rationale.

I always liked in World of Warcraft that how drunk you get depends on how much you drink and how strong the beverage is.

somehow getting these on your lungs are healthier than marijuana.

>>344433353
Can you at last sell the cigs or are they just visual props?
In the Gothic games you can smoke
swampweed and at least in 2 it gives you a slow mo effect if you do. It might be useful if you use snapper weed to gain a burst of superspeed, the slowdown effect might help you maneuver more precisely.
>>
>>344434915
Being a fatass also means high caloric maintenance to keep all that lard. I don't even know how people can get that fat. There was a time when I ate almost nothing but loads of KFC but even then I felt physically sick after eating too much, my stomach was as if it could burst and I've never gone past 110 kg or so.

>>344435263
Skip on McDonalds once or twice, fatty. You don't need all those calories to feel full.
>>
>>344436220
Aren't there tinfoil theories around which claim oxygen is actually damages our bodies slowly over time? Who knows how exactly true or accurate any of those are though.
>>
>>344436786
Nicotine is only the addictive agent here, the tar is the actual health hazard.
>>
>>344436805
You can sell them, that have a decent weight-to-price ratio.
But they show up in MISC rather than AID.

There are mods that change it, but most of them require you to watch a small cut-scene of your character smoking so you're fucked if they add in a combat related effect and you need one in battle.
>>
>>344436990
Oxidation is a thing so yeah I guess it does. It's not like a you have a choice but to breathe it anyway.
>>
>>344427393
And just slap a big pair of jiggly ass bare tits in your game while you're at it!
>>
Why are Americans such pansies about smoking? In Europe people push strollers around while having a fag, but you'd be reprimanded by complete strangers doing the same in land of the free.

I legitimately thought you were talking about a game called Do Sex instead of DE.
