Re: I found it stupidly easy to 'give up' with vapes.
I too have had no difficulty with smoking since picking up a vape (son born, didn't want to stink of smoke for him and missus who had to go cold turkey). Problem is, I vape like it's going out of style, sit there working, puff, puff, puff. I hate addictions.

Re: Glasses anyone?
I have wondered, but I'm assuming headsets can fit over them. I've started wearing contacts so it's less of an issue. Still, I'm a big "gamer" who has yet to try VR. Why? Because I knew from the beginning that it's a big fat gimmick unable to truly rival experiences with a monitor, and in part due to the issues outlines in this article. Sure, it's a different experience, but it's not really useful, it doesn't give an "edge".

Re: Sounds interesting
Writer here (badge doesn't work). The Expanse is amazing, granted, but I watched it on Netflix. Farscape was good too, but I watched it on BBC 2 as a young'un. I associate Syfy with Xena: Warrior Princess-tier stuff, but know that I write these things with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

If you're paying more than £30 to see anything, you're doing it wrong
In myyyyy day (five years ago) you could arrive at the door to any rock venue in Camden and get in for a tenner to see internationally acclaimed bands. Now you do normally have to order in advance if you want to get in, but it's generally done through the promoter. Touts don't even come into it.
