Yea ya'll who ain't hooked on nicotine shall be glad of it.
It's a very hard addiction to get rid off. Do yourself a favour and skip trying it  8)

I love drinking coffee but my heart can't take it like when I was younger so I had to quit consuming coffee with caffeine in it ... but quit smoking cigs is Boss-Level difficulty!

It actually pisses me off when smokers go out of their way to advocate it on non smokers. Like its some miracle cure for stress. Trust me. Compare every convo you have had with chainsmokers and pot heads. 

Now im not advocating either. But marijuana uses do generally seem happier. THC has that effect on the brain. Surveys have shown nicotine abuse actually makes humans more stressed. Higher blood pressure and worse quality of life.
Plus smelling like skunk placenta is never fun.  Truly. Cigareettes are a true evil.

Being chainsmoker AND pothead for almost 2 decades now, I can totally agree with everything you wrote here. Smoking tobacco is definitely the worst part of my bad habits and yes, THC has a calming up to euphorizing/inspiring effect on me, which I value an important part of my way of living ... what I NEVER did - and there are millions of smokers feeling the same way - is to advocate for smoking to non-smokers. I never considered smoking as something cool or to be proud of, actually. If someone's listening, I always tell people not so start smoking, though everybody has a right to do to his body however he/she/it/them/they ( :P ) pleases ... to be a smoker or not is a choice everyone makes for himself. And this should always be respected the same way as smokers need to respect the right of non-smokers to breath clean, non-stinky air  ;D
It's all a matter of respect and behaviour I guess. ...

I'be been wanting to quit for a long time but it's very hard. The progress is also not linear, and I struggle with withdrawals.

Did you try out nicotine-gums or -patches? I heard they shall help ... some people switch over to vaping liquids to make quitting easier ...

I've paused my 3rd playthrough of Final Fantasy IV to play some short Game Gear games:

Started off w. Sonic The Hedgehog Triple Trouble which I beat at 1st try, making this the easiest Sonic release I played so far  ;D

I also managed to beat my old highscore of about 80.000 pts in Aerial Assault with now over 200.000 pts - almost beat the game but died off in the 3rd Mission soon as I was hit and lost all powerups.
Actually, though you're give a certain amount of lifes and continues, this game is actually sudden death all the time, bc as soon as you get hit once and lose all your powerups, the rest of your lifes get scratched off you in a blink.

And I managed to progress in Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe a little further than in my last attempt to finish it. Now I kinda break my teeth on Spooky Cave. This game got really hard really quick!  ???

I wish you all the best of success at your current gaming projects!  8)

Playing Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe on GG, I stumbled upon this piece, that kept flying around my head even after laying down the handheld  8) It's a theme playing in some of the dungeons:

Sometimes even small spinoff games provide decent music to listen to while playing.

Need some help requesting the proper Publisher for the Atari 2600 [EU] title Tom Boy (Pit Fall) https://vgcollect.com/item/275197 (a hack of Activision's Pitfall!).  This is an exclusive [IT] title, and according to the box, the title is distributed by GRAD.DI. S.r.l., and it is manufactured in Taiwan by MAX'ER Technologies, Inc.  GRAD. DI. imported an Atari 2600 clone to Italy in 1989, called the Matra 3600, and supported it with essentially bootlegged games.  According to GRAD.DI.'s wiki on https://bootleggames.fandom.com/wiki/GRA.DI._S.r.l., they worked with two separate manufacturers, MAX'ER and Kingsway, each of which can be identified by the address printed on the box (explained in the Wiki).  In this particular case, MAX'ER is identified as the manufacturer, but, who do I request as a publisher?  GRAD.DI. S.r.l. or MAX'ER Technologies?  Atarimania identifies the publisher by just grouping MAX'ER and Kingsway together with no mention of GRAD.DI.

I failed to mention that in all cases, GRAD.DI. S.r.l. is identified as the distributor on the boxes.  However, in only certain cases is the manufacturer identified, and in most instances is inferred by the address given for GRAD.DI. as mentioned in the Wiki.  This makes me lean toward requesting GRAD.DI. as the publisher, but your input on this would be appreciated.

I'd personally lean towards GRAD.DI. as well, for it's the company that legally distributed the product on it's intended market (Italy, I guess?).

speaking about rocky themes  8) here's another one of my all time favourite pieces out of an  RPG: Mystic Quest (SNES) - Boss Theme

A piece so good and rocking so hard, even real rock/metal- musicians love to cover it!

I'm still on my 3rd. playthrough of Final Fantasy IV, in my attempt to finish Final Fantasy Anthology (PS1):

Due to wifey working lateshifts I buttered about 12hrs of playtime into it this weekend - after 24hrs total I already got the hovercraft-carrying-hook attached to the freshly upgraded Enterprise, now my almost final team is on it's way to Eblan to enter the Underworld once again via Eblan Cave. Battles got kinda hard for I didn't really level up characters until Cecil became a Paladin - I actually wanna finish this game with every char on lvl 100, though I don't want to start the real grinding until I got the final team together ... which should be soon  8)

I actually can't wait to beat this game (once again) and Start Final Fantasy V on the same collection ... this should take me years to accomplish w 100% ...  ::)

So many games, so little time  ;D ...
