    Gamers don't smoke. It ruins the consoles. Not sure about the energy drinks. I think the top guy's more of a tea guy. Bottom guy has a purple can on that Ikea table beside him not sure what it is.

    I suppose that's one of my old person biases that no longer apply. Used to be hard to find a SNES used that wasn't piss yellow. Internet cafes were like hotboxing nicotine every dota 1 tournament

    The SNES thing is actually because the chemical fire-r-slur-dant in the plastic yellows over time/exposure to UV rays.

    Yeah, young people in general don't usually smoke in my experience.

    They do vape a lot though, which tbh I don't mind. They're not trying to give me cancer anymore so go nuts
