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

I can't really say much about the whole badges deal. That crap just looked like achievements on steroids. Collect all the trading cards to get a badge, and that badge... makes your pee pee look bigger to other badgefags? I dunno. I know there's a whole thing with farming trading cards using bots to get said badges, but also there are "games" out there that give you a billion achievements for doing nothing, like they're intended for achievement fetishists or something. Hell, I've thought about starting a thread in Games where we laugh at achievement hunters, but that's a whole lotta cancer I'd rather not dig into myself.

Steam badges are mostly an e-peen thing, but crafting them gives your steam account XP and when you reach certain milestones you get extra slots on your Steam profile for widgets that can contain all sorts, from a counter of how many games you own to a display of your favourite games or achievements to a showcase of your wares that are currently on sale if you’re a tradefag. I got into it for a while a few years ago because I wanted an extra profile slot but as soon as I’d crafted enough badges to get that I just stopped caring entirely because there’s no point to them besides that and I didn’t need any more profile widgets.

Redditor dates manchild NEET. He moves in, racks up 12k in debt, and fills her whole apartment with funkopops.

She ends up booting him out and selling the funkos to try and recover some of her money, like she warned him would happen if he didn't shape up.

Redditors are not pleased.

The girl and her family sound like bigger retards than the Vickers Family for loaning some deadbeat 12k.

Call me a consoomer but some of the less tacky ones like the GoT or Zelda ones could be nice looking if you removed logos and affiliation with BRAND from them. I wouldn't buy them anyways because I'm sure they use fake diamonds and are overpriced as shit but those ones don't look as bad.

Here's some made with real materials.

Has anyone brought up Fortnite yet?, I seem to only ever hear about it when they've done a collab with (insert popular pop culture media here) and all the paypigs throw money at the skin for the next naruto marvel or whatever bullshit

They're a bit ostentatious but they don't look bad. They're also a powerlevel item where they look decent on their own but if you know what they're from then good for you.

They've been doing a lot of crossover stuff lately, but as far as it goes it's less a consoom product thing more just a "hey this is in the game now" thing, usually as a timed unlockable or a thing in the microtransaction shop thing. They tend to put some level of effort into their crossovers in a way that feels a lot less like a consoomer thing than the "600 dollar boba fett helmet!" kinda shit that companies have been pulling these past several years and more just an excuse for more content kinda deal.

They look a bit over the top to me, but they're still good looking rings. They do look more what a woman would buy to wear in my opinion though.

Remember when Pepperidge Farm wasn't a battle royale game?

I certainly wouldn't say no to one. I might not actually wear it, but it'd be a lovely thing to have in my jewellery box.

It still has the non-battle royale game but the battle royale mode is "free" and gets a lot more attention by the devs, and therefore ends up a lot more popular as a result. I've been actually tempted at times to play the actual original game because it looked fun when I was watching a friend play it a few years ago. I somehow completely forgot about this trailer though where they all had actual characters and voices instead of being generic default voiceless enemies in the battle royale mode tied to "anonymous" players lmao.

CONSUME BRANDED PIZZA

This reminds me of branded food and drink churned out by German rappers. One of them named Capital Bra brought out various flavors of ice tea called "BraTee" as well as his own pizza:

Spoiler: Spoiler because huge images

That's just the tip of the iceberg. They have their own clothing brands, hookah flavors, and cheap crap that they put in "deluxe boxes" to scalp their retarded listeners.

Spoiler: Again Capital Bra because he is one of the biggest names

Kids these days.

EDIT: found a spelling fuckup

Humble Bundle sold fairly remarkable game bundles with Steam keys for "pay what you want", they didn't actually have a minimum, so you could pay just a penny and get five new games every couple of weeks. Generally, there'd be something you'd actually want, and then four other games you could take or leave, but games were still wrapped together in one key. But, no harm no foul, and you could eventually hide games from your ever-growing Steam list to not clog it up.

I was looking at the Capcom bundle on Humble Bundle just now and the charities the purchases support are tranny ones. Is there a way I can change that? Would like to get more games to play but not at the expense of children. I want to support charities for animals and the ecosystem.

Click "Adjust Donation" and then "Custom Amount" underneath the checkout button


They force you to give at least $3 to Humble, but you can exclude the charities altogether.

Wait. This guy still exists?
I thought his entire schtick was to fill dead air and endlessly speculate because there was absolutely fucking nothing released about the NX.

I imagine it would look something like Brianna Wu's filthy figurine shelves.

You'd think spending that much on collectibles that he'd at least put it in a glass cabinet with some lighting.

I've long thought that the lack of a wire on AirPods, while obviously their biggest selling point, is also their biggest drawback. If one pod falls out of your ear, it can't be saved by the dangling wire. A wireless pod is going to be as good as on the ground. It's also going to be easier to lose just one of them, which is impossible with wired headphones (unless you snip the wire). It's also easier to keep wired headphones with the intended device because it's literally attached to it, and you can wind the wire around it.

I would never buy wireless earbuds specifically because of how easy it seems to lose them, but I can vouch for wireless headphones (as in the big kind that go over your head)

While having to charge them is annoying, they last much longer than wired ones because the wire itself tends to be where headphones break, not the internal components. I've only broken one pair in years of use and that was because they fell from enough of a distance to crack the plastic head band

They always come with a jack for an aux cord so you can still use them like regular wired headphones in case the battery dies, and since the aux is fully separate, you can replace just the cord and not the whole pair.

I would kind of like for there to be wireless earbuds that are like full earcuffs wrapped around your ear so they can't fall off. Not even the way it wraps around now where it's merely less likely to snap off, but designed similarly to the jewelry versions. Fantasy elves were just listening to their thoroughly clipped-on airpods and the human peasants didn't understand and thought it was just decorative.
