Welp. I guess arcades really -are- dead now.
Timezone is still alive...... LOLWelp. I guess arcades really -are- dead now.
How strict are the laws regarding Food and Drink on the MRT here? Is drinking water even allowed on the trains?
Water should be fine actually.How strict are the laws regarding Food and Drink on the MRT here? Is drinking water even allowed on the trains?

Thanks for the replies! The $500 fine plastered all over the train stations gave me a fright!

No one cares. Just dont do it in front of an mrt staff.

Which means someone cares though.
I'm still new here but so far I have the feeling a lot of these rules (jaywalking near traffic lights as well) are not enforced until someone wants to enforce them (either because you are bold or some kind of issue happened due to your actions, or well, someone who doesn't like you sees you doing it)...
That's the case in pretty much all countries but the fines are so high here so that it makes me just not wanna risk it at all (also the possibility of getting your picture taken for the internet to see, same when being a bit too hands-on with your date/partner apparently).
Damn was wondering where all the arcades went in SG the last time I went there. Used to play heaps at cineleisure and later PS.
People were fined before $20-30 dollars before when they ate in front of mrt staff and never $500. that's just a scare tactic, but I guess if you are not a singaporean you will never know that. But if you want to be safe, then just don't eat and drink on trains and buses. Singaporeans will appreciate that in general. Water is fine though.

There are still arcades. Just that more and more of them are closing. Just a sign of the times.The only people who miss arcades are 80s and 90s kids anyways, and most of us don't have time to go arcades anymore.
Welp. This truly has been a frustrating experience to try and get Nier:Automata CE locally.
Our release dates are all over the place. Is it Feb? Mar? Qisahn opened pre-orders for it, without 1) a price, placeholder being $999 2) any info on what the hell is in it, although they use the black box pic 3) a solid date. Worst thing is they require a deposit. I couldn't bring myself to jump in without knowing the price so all I could do was watch as it sold out online.
Meanwhile, Gamewerks tells me they won't be bringing the CE in and Play-Asia removed their listing for the Eng CE and replaced it with a Chi CE and a release date of 28 Mar instead.
God dammit Asia fucking sucks.
I flew back to Germany for Christmas.
Singapore Airlines;I watched The Handmaiden during the flight.
Did not know about the very prolonged, explicit lesbian sex scenes haha My ears turned red, having an aisle seat.
Reason I'm writing this here is because I checked now online and the theatrical release in Singapore was heavily censored (of course). So SA goes by their own guidelines and doesn't have to adhere to SG standards?
Weirdly enough, on the same flight I stopped watching Bad Moms because it was hard to follow due to very obvious censorship.
I was on Singapore last month for 5 days. I can only laugh hard when I hear politicians here in the Philippines saying we are slowly becoming like Singapore. It is not even close.
Wish I could have stayed longer.

My teenage regrets is acting up, I willing to bite the bullet to pay $700 for coldplay ticket.
My rational self is telling me not to give into temptation and making bad deals because they are habit forming.

700 hundred? Why not just buy a cheaper ticket and free youself of guilt.
But what the heck, if you love them just buy it. One time wont hurt.
Life is short.
Then again, it's just Coldplay. And the accoustics at the National Stadium are almost certainly going to be horrible.
Anyone know why the Singapore PS Store is so bad?
In terms of PS4 games, no rock band despite being out for over a year. In terms of PSVR, no Eve, Lethal VR, Fruit Ninja and countless others, despite being released in loads of other regions.
Why does SGP have less software? Licensing issues or lazy Sony?
I own a PS4 but have not played much since getting it. But it's been like this since the PS3 days. Sony doesn't give a shit about our market. Too small. Just look at the number of PSVR units brought in. Meanwhile, anyone in the US who wants one can get one. It's stupid.
MS does a much better job in this area.
It would be less of an issue if we got all the Japanese releases. But we don't have Summer Lesson for PSVR either. At least, that is what my friend said...
Sony does recognize Singapore as an English speaking region. The issue is making sure publishers who mostly do business in US and Europe (like your Rock Band example) understanding that there is a market in Asia for English games. Also keep in mind that the SEA region is not just Singapore. Think of it as Europe, where each country has their own store, but the content is handled on a region basis with consideration for all countries as far as possible.
The situation isn't ideal, but I don't think anyone is trying to screw us on purpose here. Way better situation than Nintendo anyway, where Maxsoft distributes for Nintendo, but Nintendo doesn't even care about the region at all to have a storefront here. Gotta love paying Canadian tax just to buy off the eShop. Yay!
It's not hard. Microsoft has been doing this since the 360 days and Sony still hasn't got its shit together now, it seems like. Microsoft has a streamlined global digital publishing process for all digital titles and this was always very clear. Even big AAA releases are released on the Xbox One store one or two days ahead of PS4.
You can't compare this to Nintendo. Sony has a significant presence here due to its consumer electronics business. It should have its shit together.
