I typed out a reply and I guess instead of pressing reply I pressed cancel from the preview, nice. So this'll be from memory.

Smoking has been vilified for a few decades now. Price has gone up quite a bit as well, in the five years I smoked (10-5 years ago) I've seen the price go up by €2. It's no wonder people quit, they don't have choice. I assumed you were looking for western stuff. I doubt anyone has many JP magazines, the Japanese weren't doing that well with backing up in general. Maybe you should look for a collection being sold in Japan. The torrents are mostly for gaming mags and the other for manuals. I meant copyright trolls. The ones that sit look at people connecting to torrents, grab an IP and then try to get more info and send a threatening letter. I just checked and it seems to have died down. Most people stream movies and series these days I guess. Can't blame him, I'd prefer a proper controller as well ;) Honor killings are a thing some people see it as reasonable enough to do that for the weirdest reasons (victim got raped, so should be honor killed). I get your point though.

I like being able to browse on my phone though. I gave up on being "untrackable" anyway. I just don't use google as a search engine and don't use it to login onto different websites, the bare minimum really. If they want to track me they can do it regardless, at this point it's just a matter of principal to me. Also use a different navigator app, but that's because google maps sucks. New dumb phones should still be available for cheap. Maybe look into it if really matters to you. Mana Khemia is Atelier Iris in a high school setting, extra japanese. The Iris subseries differs a bit in being more focused on the RPG elements instead of the material gathering/alchemising and time management aspects. Only owned them after the next generation came out. My family already had the other 3 (from various members) and a (bad) PC, so a new system was out of the question. I managed, it actually allowed me to explore the other libraries a bit more. Means I was spared the formative years of DLC. There'll probably be a better sense of tech, yeah. Phone usage will probably be understood by them though in the same way an old person understood most old TVs and VCRs ss long as the core design stays the same.

I'd prefer to eradicate alzheimers and any form of cancer. The common cold might stay if it doesn't mutate into something horrible. Populations will equalize when living conditions can keep the people content like you said. The migration will be an issue though, we already had a a huge song and dance about the recent "refugee crisis". A climate refugee crisis will be 10x worse, would put a large strain on a country's carrying capacity. Just using to to make humans healthy would be the least of my goals. Not sure about robots, people already humanize dogs. I'm fully expecting humanoid robots because that seems more "pleasant" to most. So if people can't help themselves from treating Fido as a human, imagine what they'd do with ROBert. We'll have to deal with robot lives activists. We are pretty lucky when it comes to internet in Europe. More research would be nice, but I'm sure it emits less powerful waves than older radio towers and we've lived with those for 80 years. I'd prefer autonomous cars to regular drivers, especially if we can reduce the amount of human drivers quickly. They are far safer than a human with it's unpredictability.

The hypothetical scenario was that they made a good game without that stuff, would you still not buy it because it's EA? WW1 is generally regarded as a "neutral" conflict in the modern times, the evil ones being "the elite monarchies". Though I'd guess if I asked the average person they'd still say Germany, maybe an Austria. I'd still like a grim interpretation like you tend to see in memoirs. Can get the point across in how horrible that war actually was. WW2 is a propaganda shitshow though.

iDEAL is a Dutch e-payment processor which coöperates with all Dutch banks, most of Europe and a select few global corperations which deal with e-commerce in Europe. I assume most European nations have something similar. Paypal is my go to for something that doesn't accept iDEAL though. Heard similar things, but according to the statistics the Japanese work below average annual hours. Who knows, maybe they changed really quickly or maybe the salarymen don't make up as much of the labour force as people think.

I'll stick with what works for now, no need to fix something that isn't broken yet. Will keep it in mind though.

Probably just cheap stickers from "small webshops" (a guy with a warehouse) I assume. The thing is, it was sitting at a Japanese postoffice for two days. If it was over here I'd get a status update indicating that customs has received it (or it entered the country). It has been shipped out since monday though, so it should be fine.
