yeah increased chance of cancer from drinking pepsi max/coke zero, due to high sodium
everything is evil
And both of those taste just as nasty as ciggies...
Wow. I don't think I ever wanna smoke...
edit- Sorry bout the double post
I don't smoke cigarettes, no.
I grew up surrounded by smokers, though, so I guess I grew to hate it. Other than the smell and the harm it causes you, I think my main problem with it is the addiction part. I don't see why anyone would ever want to depend on something to make them feel good, particularly when the negative effects far outweigh the benefits. I mean, unlike many other drugs people depend on, lets say heroin for this example, cigarette smokers don't have a puff and then feel like they're in ecstasy. They have a puff just so they can reach a normal level again because their body is so used to it. If I was going to be addicted to something, I'd want to do it to reach a level ABOVE normal every time I did it. I know the more you take most drugs, the more the 'high' level becomes the 'normal' level.... But seriously, the pay-off for cigarettes just makes it absolutely pointless, in my opinion.

as for me i decided not to smoke because i dont like the smoke all over the place and second, i choked and coughed the first time i tried and didn't like it (the taste nor the feeling) and so i was kinda traumatized. i ended up being addicted to other stuff instead (from masturbating and then to games) which kinda made me think if i made the right choices of meh life.

Here's a good trick you can try if you decide to stop smoking:
For the week before you quit, put all your cigarette butts in a jar half-filled with water. When you have a craving, twist off the lid and take a good whiff.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
