"Well ... at least he keeps it clean," the consoomer's mother said as a single tear of shame rolled down her cheek.
"It's a basement, Doris. He should have a workshop in there, like a normal person," his father said, before returning his gaze to the depths of his glass.

I've seen some quirkyXD stuff from quilters. The main thing I still remember (I had a hiatus from quilting for a few years) is this comic of a woman who 'just loves buying fabr- I mean quilting.
There are plenty of comics like this in any crafting community, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a secret tactic by fabric companies to make it seem cool to hoard fabric "in case a future project needs it".
I've even seen fabric that's £16 ($21) per metre because its usually a popular artist who designed it. A decent price for fabric is £6-10 ($8-13) you can get at the local shop. If you wait for the sales, you can get pricier stuff for cheap if you really need it.
Hoarding pre-cut fabrics such as fat quarters, layer cakes and jelly rolls is a thing too. Sure, there are some beautiful colour and pattern combinations but if you don't do your research, you could buy a pack that has differing quantities of each design and throw off the project idea you had in your head.
I've never really engaged with the quilting community directly, especially cuz it's mostly older women rather than people my age. I'd love to see the drama in the quilting community.
That's why I'm making Legends of Arceus my last ever Pokémon game and starting to look into the indie scene and hidden gems.
AAA games don't feel amazing anymore and just repeat the same formula with different characters, locations and such.
And the attempts to give the games lots of detail and realism (in other games, not Pokémon, FYI) makes the games feel soulless due to losing their fantasy elements.
And I get to support an independent developer than give money to a multi million dollar corporation.
I do lots of my own stuff cos all of the characters I like are unpopular but I prefer it that way so that they don't get hounded by consoomers.

Oh absolutely. I knit, but the concept of a stash for future projects is the same across all the crafting spheres. Lots of limited edition colors.
Subscription boxes are a big thing. Lots of indie dyers will offer them and they aren't cheap! This is the most popular one, Knit Crate. (Not an indie dyer) These are the options you have for one subscription box, the sock box. They have other boxes too, of course you can get them all!
First you choose a color theme.
Then you choose how you'd like to pay:
Look at those prices. One box comes with enough yarn to do either of the two patterns you send you. So 100 grams of yarn, either one skein of 100 grams or two 50 gram skeins. You can't pick what you get beyond a general theme.
You might end up with this:
Gross.

Reminds me of Tess Holliday's ugly Chanel necklace:
vs. some random shit I just found on Chanel's website:

That looks like something from Etsy. In the same category as these ones, which is fake of course. As the only house that actually has legitimate masks as for last I checked, is Versace. Which is made of polyester, which is bs. Because there are masks made out of silk, for 30 bucks nonetheless.
Found some really nice ones on the site too, but since they're actually nice. They're in the 20-30 k range. As the cheapest option for designer stuff is usually the tackiest. But anyway, it would be cheaper to show a pic to jeweller that make custom jewellery and make a carbon copy.
It would actually be cheaper to make a custom-made 24k gold necklace.

Where would I get such a thing? I know Mene has 24k stuff, but nothing custom. Only other 24k jewelry I'm aware of are the things you get as wedding jewelry and baby-gifts.

I want to say how is this consumer shit, like they're all model kits and I don't think he buys like the gundam toys in walmart.

Actually don't know and it's not recommended for jewellery, as pure gold is quite soft (as in you can easily bend it without melting it). So 18k is still somewhat soft, but it's more fine jewellery. Meanwhile 14k is the one most used for engagement rings, as 18k would be scratched up if you live an active life.

I hate the plastichrist:
She was a cool lady.
Yeah, that's why I've only really seen it as wedding jewelry. One of the mom-in-laws explained it to me as it being something similar to a dowry but gifted from the groom's parents to the new "daughter". She specifically said it was meant to be sold in case of emergency and/or used to bribe border guards.

I like how the room's still visibly a livable room. as vaguely ominous as this image's angling and lighting is it's nothing compared to the fucking star wars/funkopop/video game collection rooms where there's like no room for actual activity or resting within the room itself.
the original Rattle me bones not the board game listed? not one fucking beyblade in sight? Instant 0/10.

Off-top a bit, but are silk masks good enough? Both for skin and as a mask, of course.

Medical masks is a bit rough, so people do experience irritation. Silk is one of the softest materials out there that's good for the skin.
You are supposed to wear it under a medical mask, but lol. I use mine to shield me from breathing ice-cold air, as it fucks up my sinuses.

I don't mind stuff like this too much, a lot of stuff in those cases are model kits that take hours to actually build and its a small space not like a wall of funkopops in the living room.
A lot of the worst consooming in this thread revolves around buying really cheap shit like funkos or fast fashion shit where this is more just a guy filling a spare room with shit he enjoys where its more of a hobby instead of just flatout consooming.

I love my millwaukee power tools. They are reliable and the price is ok. But some of the tools on the stools get a little bit to attached to their brand of choice and it results in crap like this.

You might think that looks cheap! No way the price for those three is above 20 dollars a pop!
Most of the small bits and bobs go for around 80 bucks. The bigger ones can be anything from a 100 to 300 dollars.
What your seeing here is hunderds of dollars in red plastic.
Most of them atleast have a sense of humor about it.

There'll be more Disney/cutesy crap and a 'live, laugh, love' poster on the wall if it's a white woman.
