Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

[The Lawgiver]

Did I miss the time where this thread had posters talk about Amiibo collections?

One might think that using maxmoefoe is technically cheating, but he’s not the only one. That video was made just a year ago, for these ones existed almost two to even SIX years ago:

Spoiler: Amiibo was the original Funko Pop

As a bonus, it was just a few days ago when Nathaniel Bandy made a video about his Amiibo collection. Though, to be fair, I think he realized that he was in on the joke:

I have a custom amiibo of a pikachu in a soup bowl, it's one of the more worthwhile purchases of my life.
Dunno where your "original funko pops" thing is coming from. Amiibos came AFTER funko pops and actually have some effort in their design. The few I've wanted that I managed to get before scalpers did make nice small desk/shelf figurines. The smash bros Banjo is the best, honestly. Smash amiibos in general are the better ones if only because the concept is based off the smash brothers trophies scalpers and hoarders are the actual worst because it's a crapshoot whether you will find one you're interested in or not for normal price or marked up to 200 damn dollars online due to the fuckers.

IMHO one of the reasons of this failure is the fact that while normal Disney travels and experiences are aimed at kids or families with kids, this Star Wars thing had to include young adults and adult nerds. Which is a problem because adults that demand to enjoy an immersive, realistic experience won’t just be satisfied with the usual kid thing Disney does.
The result is probably going to be something that neither target will like.

Disney is (or used to) be capable of immersive experience shit. Haunted mansion, Pirates of the carribean, and Maelstrom are all really good examples but all are also from decades before disney's current year "make everything tv screens" approach to effects in their rides. Maelstrom also got gutted and re-fitted as a slow ass boring TV screen ride showcasing the let it go scene from frozen a few years ago so there's that. Now, in terms of immersive experiences in the form of hotels disney has never tried that shit before and if it was any other disney than current year "faceless corporate hell conglomerate that now owns half the entertainment industry" disney it might have had a chance. Now though? yeah no shit it'd turn out dogshit.

I think not having anything for the kids was one of the stupider decisions for this hotel. There's almost zero things for kids to enjoy in it other than lightsaber training and watching cosplayers "fix" a fake engine room, and both are just mediocre and uneventful no matter how they spin it. Only other thing to do in this hotel is play poker, drink cocktails and listen to a dated lounge singer, and that sure as hell ain't for kids, and the consoomers probably won't like it either unless the cups from the bar are collectibles they can cram into their overstuffed shelves at home. And as far as nerd manchildren are concerned, there's no kiddie crap for them to enjoy other than that corny training experience, and the "immersive" aspect of his hotel that Disney claims is for the "nerds" is incredibly cheap and out of place while trying to be its own thing rather than actually try to feel like a part of franchise it claims to take place in, and it doesn't help that Disney's spin on Star Wars is all around terrible, woke and bloated, so this hotel even fails at trying to appeal to anyone except the most diehard Disneyphiles and consoomers who would've gone to this hotel even if was poorly built over a landfill.

Kind of amusing how they've lost touch with not just their customerbase, but even their own past. But that's to be expected when you have gaggles of drooling consoomers who will throw money at you just for the privilege of working for their soulless ratfaced company for free. It breeds laziness and overconfidence.

forgot to mention because it's been a while since I bought it off the guy that made it but I'm pretty sure the guy called it "pika-stew" lmao.

 

[Mike Stoklasa]

You can have the rooms and activities for younglings over here and you can have the Twi'lek strip club and fuckroom over there.

Easy.

Not gonna lie, that does sound cute. Handmade stuff can be pretty adorable even if it's from a franchise.
Like, I don't hate this. I could see myself buying it for a Disney-fan-friend:

I wonder if people like this realize that all the actual data encoded on those precious Amiibo figures has been ripped and posted online, and that you can buy bags of blank NFC tags for like $10 for 50 on Amazon and program them with your phone with a free app. You don't end up with the physical figures, but you do end up with a complete collection of tags for all known Amiibos for use with whatever games you want for under $50.

I bet it really pisses off people like that.

Geez, the more I hear about the Star Wars hotel, the more of a trainwreck it is. Seriously, you could go on a nice trip in a lot of parts of the world for the same price as that shitty hotel and have a more enriching experience with your family.

I feel like most of the younger kids these don't really actually like Disney as much as their parents did and only like it to please their parents or because the parents like it, that is some of the only things their parents put on for them, and/or they are at that age where they want to mimic what their parents do (and heaven help them if those consoomer man/womanchildren are their number one role models). That is the vibe I get from the more recent generations.

At least that sounds like something that should be worth five grand, unlike this mess.

I'd think it just makes them happy they don't have to open their amiibos to use them now, so they can have all the joys of making their bedrooms look like a well-stocked Walmart. Or they just don't care, because the type of people to buy up amiibos en masse are the type to never actually use them in-game, because actually using them isn't consooming. To them, in-game functionality is just a justification for consooming.

I don't even know what those are

I feel like most of the younger kids these don't really actually like Disney as much as their parents did

i could see kids being more excited about toy story or lion king than a movie about a black jazzist going through middle life crisis, i think the tonal shift is intentional, is definitely more common to see friends groups and couples going to the movies with no kids to see Disney/Pixar fluff and kids are probably are more into videogames and furry hentai than Disney cartoons nowadays.

 

[Creep3r]

I have no idea myself. I think they're supposed to be jewelry, along with a cup or flashlight(?), some kind of thermometer and what look like either badges or.... metal packages for your space condoms? Why would anyone want any of these things? Who would pay 70 dollars for this crap? This hotel feels like it was made by rich karens and wine moms in their 50s who have no idea what they're doing.

Kids are definitely more into video games. Stuff like Fortnite and Nintendo shit are all kids care about now. The only thing they probably like about Disney are the Avengers and Frozen, but overall video games seem to be the #1 thing for them.

 

[Sleazy Car Salesman]

I don't even know what those are

Center is a necklace, left is earrings, right is bracelet. They seem to be in the shape of the fantasy star ship liner that owns the ship the hotel is supposed to be the cabins of.

Wine glass, wine stopper, coasters with the ship the hotel is based inside of on them. Halcyon is the name of the ship and Chandrila Star Line is the name of the ship's holding company.

Model of the Halcyon, the ship the hotel is supposed to be cabins aboard.

Various costumes, the larger costumes seem to be generic if slightly affluent "Star Warsey" type clothes, the child's clothes on the left are obviously modeled after a sea captain's uniform and have the company logo on them, the children's costume on the right is your typical padawan style outfit.

All in all it isn't bad merch, I honestly like the coasters and the model ship, but I guarantee you those things are going to be made of only the highest quality chink cancer bricks and they'd be overpriced even if they were made of decent material.

Do they not have the rumored feature of the hotel where alarms would go off in the middle of the night for a forced game of laser tag against some dudes dressed as Disney Stormtroopers? Kids love being woken up in the middle of the night for that.

I've made loads of Amiibo cards of Smash Bros and Animal Crossing characters.

If you want to make your own Amiibo card, get a Pokémon card (or something of similar size), glue the front onto a sheet of paper. You can stick 9 cards on an A4 sheet. Cut around the cards so that the front is blank.
Draw your design on the bit of paper. Put the Amiibo chip on the back and glue the back of the card to patterned paper and draw where the Amiibo chip is (or use a sticker).

It's a lot of fun and makes a great gift for a friend or family member that wants a particular Amiibo.
I don't care if you sell them due to inflated prices of normal Amiibos but you will get penalised selling them on eBay or Etsy as they're full-on illegal to sell, no grey area about it. Which is a shame because I'd love to have a well-drawn Amiibo by someone.

Pokémon cards are the same size as AC cards so you can bundle your fanmade cards with the official ones. You can use YuGiOh cards but then you'll need to store them in a different folder.

Apparently the alarms are going to be for the stage show where the Emo Vader "invades" the main hall with his ducktroopers and they have to fight the cruise ship's crew and Chewbacca.

This reminds me about how I saw some custom amiibos on etsy a while back that were basically just duped animal crossing cards with custom figures on them. Reminded me of how nintendo fucking overstocked every fucking place with those god damn animal crossing amiibos a few years ago but only made a few actual physical figures. the rest got confined to fucking amiibo cards that I only ever saw once in a five below and never again after that. Not even consoomers consoomed the animal crossing amiibos till new horizons came out, which is astonishing.

Going back to the weird custom amiibo I have of fucking pikachu in a soup bowl, I have no clue if it's a duped card or just the original card put on a 3d printed base. I don't care. I spent my 20 dollars at a vidya convention on a funny custom art thing of a pikachu amiibo figure placed into a plastic pokeball bowl filled with fake soup. Could have bought 2 real soup dinners with that money but sometimes you gotta grab the funny when you see it.

Good thing the poor kid didn't start choking during an important boss battle...

I think the fact that it's Earthbound makes it even more cringe honestly.

Shigesato Itoi wrote Earthbound as a sort of love letter to his daughter, who he couldn't see as often as he liked due to a messy divorce.

"I want him to be a thoughful, strong boy"... can this new dad say the same?

Earthbound is a good game, a very good game as a matter of fact. But it's one of those IPs kind of like Star Wars or Ghostbusters where many people seem to be more in love with the idea of it than with the thing itself, they like it because it's popularly accepted to be "good" without ever coming to their own conclusion on it. What's the old joke again? "World's biggest Earthbound fan ecstatic to be able to finally actually play the game."
