I don't get Fumos. Maybe it's just because I had my weeb phase like a decade ago but they just look like less cute tsum tsums to me. I can't fathom spending hundos on one.

If by "just to destroy" you mean the funny dumb fucking video where it's some guys just deep frying one I'd say that's a funny once in a lifetime kinda moment in the veinof old youtube shitpost destruction videos like the crucifixtion of barney or the various elmo torture vids. Once again with the visually identical bootlegs due to how simplistic the things are it's like also vague if it's official or not just looking at the thing.
You've decided to fuel the consoomer cycle, then? I see. You have chosen the path of death.

This thread got me curious about what a modern video game collectors edition looks like. For $110 more than the standard edition you too can be the proud owner of this landfill bait. A light smatter big of Acrylic, enamel, and cardboard for the low low price of $150. All to celebrate a cartridge that houses some roms.

Oh my god. The “mall” katanas. I help out at a anime con one of my friends helps to run. Some of the vendors sell swords and people would buy them and fight each other with it. Granted, these swords can’t even break skin but they use to beat the shit out of each other with it. Lol the police even had to come and stop them. Lmao

This reminded me of the Juggernog Edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. It was a special edition of BO3 that came with a bunch of the usual garbage of steel books, coasters, art, and shit like that. The collection was around $200 USD... Why? Because it came with a Juggernog themed minifridge!
edit:
fucked up the price, googled it and completely ignored the price in the top right of the image lmao, google gave me $280 in new zealand dollars
Apologies for double posting, but I'm writing this out before it slips from my mind, and also sorry if this isn't the right thread.
Call of Duty in the recent years has been catching flack for their monitization methods with thier battle pass system, shop bundles, and crossovers with other IP's such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Saw movie franchise, Attack On Titan... Twice, Rambo, Die Hard, Judge Dredd, and most recently Godzilla (not officially confirmed, but is being heavily teased). These methods of advertising and monitization are confusing to say the least, however they weren't as bad as the age of Supply Drops.
Supply Drops are random lootboxes that first appeared in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. The game heavily relied on a "variant" system where different guns have different stats and effects. The only way to get these variants from my knowledge was to open supply drops, these variants range from the lowest grade "Enlisted" to the highest, most OP and gamebreaking tiers of "Elite" and "Legendary." (The Supply Drops also gave you Reinforcements, which range from double XP for a certain amount of time, or a free care package for in-game use. They also featured clothing for your character, which if you had a complete set, would give you a small XP boost.) During this time there were two infamous variants that people saught after for being the most retardedly OP things in CoD history. The Bal-27 Obsidian Steed and the ASM1 Speakeasy.
For awhile you could only earn supply drops by playing the game until 2015, when they added "Advanced Supply Drops" to the game, which costed about $2 USD for a single one to $40 USD for a pack of 28. Obviously, with these stupid variants and new guns being released only obtainable through supply drops, people ate this shit up like it was fucking candy. Tons of YouTube videos came out of these massive supply drop openings in search for an Obsidian Steed or a Speakeasy. Because of this surge of money, future Call of Duty games would feature the supply drop system so Activision could get as much money as they could from their retarded customers.
Which leads me to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, which is probably the worst game when it comes to the supply drop system.
At first the supply drop system seemed "innocent" ennough. It had two tiers of SD's, the regular Supply Drops which only cost 10 Crypto Keys (The currency you earned for playing the game), and the Rare Supply Drop which would cost you 30 Crypto Keys or 200 COD Points ($2 USD). These supply drops had things ranging from weapon specific camos, reticles, character skins/helmets, attachment variants, calling cards, and many other cosmetic only items. Later in the life of the game, however, Treyarch decided to add melee weapons into the Supply Drops. They honestly weren't anything special, they were just Combat Knife reskins that you could just use from level one. Not too big of a deal but a taste of what's to come.
Even later in the life cycle of Black Ops 3, Trearch and Activision decided that they weren't making enough money from their numerous melee weapons, so they added actual guns to the supply drops. Skipping over a bunch of minor details and shit, they eventually released a gun that actually caused a stir in the community. The M14. Why would the community get so pissed over a nostalgia bait gun? You could only acquire the gun from Rare Supply Drops during a specific period. The gun was only obtainable for a month and once more for another month, but after that it was gone. You could no longer get the gun from anywhere, not even from Weapon Bribes which guarantees a ranged weapon. I don't think I need to tell you how people also bought a metric fuck ton of these Supply Drops, not only because of shit like this, but because it's fucking addictive gambling.
Supply Drops continued to be in Call of Duty until after Call of Duty: WW2, where they have now been replaced by the battle pass and bundle shop system in Modern Warfare 2019. (Fun fact, Modern Warfare 2019 was going to have Supply Drops. After this was found out during the Gunfight Alpha where people were "earning" supply drops, Infinity Ward got heavy criticism and freaked out, resulting in them going into the seasonal content structure for their game, which is why the game had a good few months until Season 1 was released on December 3rd, 2019.)
Sorry for the long winded novel of a post and if it seems very scatter brained, I'm very tired.

@Krokodil Konsumer Can't reply but this really hits the nail that any CoD beyond BOII is pure trash.

I am not too versed in the specifics of TikTok so this may well be the limitations of the app but all this what I spend in x / day in my life crap looks like it's shat out by the same depressed AI. Forced to create and narrate the same format over and over again until the end of time.
Edit for bonus:
"Very realistic" - much influencer, such relateable.
Also, Luka you fucking simp. She will never ever sleep with you, regardless how many times you are "there for her".

This is just a pet peeve of mine. Kit Kats/coke/lays from Japan doesn’t make it better and, no, it doesn’t make you “super kawaii neko Suzhou hime”. I don’t understand why people pay ten bucks for a snickers bar just because it comes from Japan.

Might be that they come in different flavors that are exclusive to Japan.

I noticed that Kit Kat in the US has been releasing a few more unique flavors seasonally and for a limited time like pumpkin spice every fall and stuff probably because people probably have been importing a lot of Japanese Kit Kats and there is a lot of demand for unique flavors

This is. just peak consoomer. I bet it's choke full of undisclosed adds too.
I agree but at the end of the day it's still the same industrial, sugary trash. It is not really worth it.
I find Japanese sweets to be WIDLY overrated. It's not that I never had anything good from there but overall they like bland flavors, you taste sugar and not much else.

Why don't any of these people seem to make coffee at home? They spend enough money in a month to invest in a really good machine for their kitchen.

They either don't have the time or feel that they don't have the time. Most of these people work jobs that run you ragged and they're all single so no one to split the workload with. I used to work a job like that, it destroys your soul and makes you feel like you never have time or energy to do things yourself.

I would agree except they do have time to make elaborated TikToks.
I think that take the same time as making a cup of coffee, heating some milk and cleaning up the cup afterward.

Exactly.
I think personally it's more part of the consoomer "ideal" that you have to walk through NYC with a expensive meme drink in your hand just like a main character in a Netflix show would...
