Sacrificing yourself, so your team can win, which can come in many variants. Body blocking, so the guy with the enemy flag can escape, taking the brunt of the enemies assault in an RTS game, holding them off long enough, so your teammates can build up and counterattack etc. Wouldn't equate it to saving loved ones, but I get a big dopamine hit when it happens regardless.

Close combat 2 but you just leave a schutzen team and make them exit the first map because the bridge demolition charges don't explode anyway then proceed to dab on the allies with well placed machineguns and mortars from there on out.

On the east coast of australia they don't let you smoke within a km of an eating establishment, but when I was visiting my family over in WA ate at a pub with some outdoor dining that had ash trays on the tables. It was great.

They are weak turbo normies who cant accept the reality that men-women relationship is purely contractual these days. They are still hoping wishing for le love, for the days where men protecting women and women is being there for men, and they are seething to a fact that they are:
1. Alone
2. Will never have a wife/daughter that said 'welcome home' when they go back home after 8 hours wageslaving like in muh heckin manga

Girls who are into casual nudity and smoking are the best.

idk what it is about that platform, i cannot stand it in any of its iterations
the iron sights are too far forward, the charging handle is on the wrong side, and the mag release is frustrating to me in so many ways
why is it that the most widely used weapon ever has such user unfriendly features

>>713744996
It looks cool, but if you think about it for 2 seconds you realize how uncool it actually is. The reason it looks cool is because it's intuitively risky behavior, like riding a motorcycle or getting a tattoo, and just like those things, it's a fast life history strategy behavior, so you probably shouldn't idolize them if you want food, water and electricity, and want to live in something that isn't a mud hut.

But it's also sad because smoking really does make you cool in the sense that it's a depressant and calms your nerves, so by smoking you're basically saying, "I can only be this cool on drugs."

I'd rather go Unknown Soldier route

delete the gay ass dialogue and it's perfect

In my boomer years I’ve become annoyed with this as a narrative trope. Especially when the self sacrifice is meant to even out the dying characters misdeeds. It’s a pussy move on their part to check out before they’re forced to experience the consequences of their actions. Men crave it because it means that all the difficult nuanced parts of being a good man and provider aren’t your problem anymore, you can just have a big violent outburst instead.

Smoking is cool until you have to take smoke breaks four times a day because you can’t handle life like everyone else who just grins and bears it because they aren’t pussies like smokers. Legit never met a single smoker who is actually cool, they’re all either miserable cunts or obnoxious faggots

>>713752451
It's usually not so much about needing a break to smoke, but wanting a break using smoking as socially acceptable excuse.

>>713744996
most retarded thing I've read in years

>>713744996
My ex wanted me to quit smoking so bad, she'd make me download apps that checked how many I'd smoke in a day and check them. She also admitted that seeing me smoke made her incredibly turned on.

People who have never smoked in their life, while on Datura trips very often report hallucinating smoking a cigarette and talking to people that weren't there.

While on an intense shroom trip, after going through the spiraling chaos of ego reset, I came out the other end with an intense "instinct" to put a cigarette in my mouth. I never smoked cigarettes beyond novel moments before that, but for some reason something in my trip said "as the Man, and the Chief of the house, you must smoke". Having a lit cigarette in my mouth felt RIGHT, like it was SUPPOSED to be there and without it I was incomplete. One of the strangest experiences I've ever had.

Tobacco has positive effects on Testosterone and focus.

Take what you will of this information.

For me it's whale hunting, or any sea monster really

>>713744862 (OP)
>the masculine urge to kill this guy and then murder/rape his family

>>713753190
As the other anon said, every culture that ever discovers it, the men immediately do it. It's an archetype/trope in media for a reason that the masculine figure smokes. Women who smoke are immediately seen as more masculine/less feminine. It boosts testosterone and focus.
Tobacco was smoked for spiritual reasons by natives, and of course, it was usually the men who did it.
There is something INHERENT to men when it comes to smoking. It's a nasty habit, but there's a deeply rooted reason so many men gravitate to it, and women who smoke are usually "that" kind of woman. You know what I mean, the type to go for a quickie and make you feel like you were the one that got fucked.

I like the lil ak but most games make it so you never really want/need to use it. COmbat either takes place at too far away distances or it offers nothing over an AK since games don't do the length being an issue.

>>713753510
Sorry buddy but "men used have always done it so it is masculine" is an untenable position unless you are really in to poetry and stage drama.

>Women who smoke are immediately seen as more masculine/less feminine
I'd argue that it's less "They're seen as more masculine" and more that between cool, cute and sexy, it can go along with cool or sexy, but not with cute. A woman in a really fancy dress will still be femenine, but she can exude a strong cool aura
