Zeus 09/27/17 11:33:33 PM #175:	The Wave Master posted... Sony has said that they are not currently making or planning to make a successor to the PlayStation Vita, or any kind of hybrid console/handheld. I think that's a smart business decision. Andrew House of Sony said that with the rise of cell phones as every day portable devices that a handheld outside of Asia really isn't needed. Once again, I agree. Just focus on great games, and making a solid PS5 one day, and try not to compete with Nintendo in a market you're not fully invested in anyway. Keep in mind Sony also called the analog stick a gimmick. Relying on them for having their finger on the button of the industry isn't a great idea. Not to mention that they're trying to save face and blame the lackluster performance of their handhelds on market conditions. The Wave Master posted... With a court ruling today in the Osaka District Court tattooing is now pretty much illegal in Japan. That is unless you have a medical license, and theu dpnt osdue tattoo licences. You have to be a doctor to be a tattooist. The Japanese claim that it's a medical procedure because needles pierce the skin and inject ink. This procedure can cause disease and side effects and they believe that only a licensed physician should perform the procedure. The other reason for the banning is a cultural one in that tattoos bring dishonor to your parents, family, and yourself because it alters the purity of what your ancestors and parents have bestowed upon you. Plus after World War II the Yakuza used it as a symbol of their members, so there is that. I don't have or even like tattoos. However tattoos are art and an expression of one's self. Still, seeing some truly terrible tattoos in America maybe only licensed and experienced artist should do the work. Not some random guy on the corner or some punk in jailwith some seeing needles. Yeah, that's a whole major taboo over there where people have been fired over having tattoos, even ones that are covered by clothing at times. While I kinda like the look of some tattoos, I'd never get ink because I'm never sure what I'll still like down the road, if my body type changes it'll look like crap, and also because I don't like identifying marks on my body just in case I someday need to go into hiding and/or adopt a new identity. Raganork posted... Do anyone other than Yakuza members even get tattoos in Japan? Maybe 10 people in the entire country. Mostly young people. If not for the restriction, it might someday become a major trend. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:887423475] in All Geek's...
