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

[Headshotmaster138]

With used game prices these days, good luck, lol. When the bubble pops, I'm gonna buy up hell of deals at yard sales but I ain't paying no three hundred bux for The Jetsons on NES

Just waiting for the bubble to pop really. Kinda hard to justify buying a 500$ PS1 game when you aren't making a 6 figure salary.

See you in a few years on your youtube channel showing off your 15 copies of Barbie Horse Girl Simulator.

Looks like I'm going to build a warehouse to store my games then.

I have a pretty decent size collection and I'm not that anal about people touching my shit.

Use the multiquote, broski. Just hit that little "quote" link at the bottom of posts, then when you go to the composition box at bottom click the "Insert Quotes" button and it will put them all into a single post.

Thanks bro. Still learning the ropes of this place.

Yeah, it’s weird when it reaches that size, but I can’t help but feel a little respect towards the SW boomer, who managed to turn his collection into an actual museum/tourist attraction.

And other fans get to enjoy it too, which is cool.

It's also worth noting that he actually did work for Lucasfilm for years though he's retired now.

Kinda reminds me of the boomers who have an entire warehouse full of 60s muscle cars. I usually keep my little personal collection in my room.

I knew of a boomer who did that. He built a big-ass garage in an area known for vacation properties/rich people with second houses which the land alone would have been like 150K a decade ago. I mean it makes sense, might as well cruise around a tourist spot in your retro cars when you actually decide to visit.

What is the point of these fucking channels? They do nothing but bitch incessantly about some rare made up disease they claim someone in their family and once they do a face reveal no one asked for, its all downhill from there.

I don't think I've ever seen that from LMG or any other "technology" channel.

I don't know dude. Your words are actually motivating me to get back into collecting and befriend other like minded fellows. Might actually buy a library shelf to store my games too while I'm at it.

I cannot fucking stand retroomers. I just wanted to buy some damn games for cheap, play them, and not have take out another mortgage to be able to afford it, so I feel you there.

An NES is not worth $200. A Banjo Kazooie N64 cartridge is not worth $100. They are both more common than dirt, massively successful, sold a metric tonne of copies, and can be had for free with emulators and downloaded ROMs. Shut the fuck up you stupid idiot asshole, stop trying to sell it for 2000% of its worth, and stop buying it just because muh Nintendo muh recognisable brand muh favourite manchild YouTuber talked about it.

The whole thing is kinda autistic anyways.

Like I get it. You’re in your 30ies/40ies and maybe life is great and you just want to capture those feels you had as a kid. Maybe your life is shit and you’re trying to fill the void inside.

But ffs, SNES/whatever games? You can download those and run them on emulator, and unless you’re a hardcore autist or want to play some obscure Bulgarian game that relied on a particular registry hack in the OG SNES processors, you’ll be fucking fine.

Just seems like a huge waste of money to spend 200$ on a game and get little of tangible value because you can download it for free.

Like, even if you have that autist scratch to collect shit, there are things to collect with you know: Tangible value.

You sure about that bubble popping bro?

There are only more 80ies/90ies kids starting to earn fat salaries and with a big emotional void to fill.

Wouldn’t be surprised if prices keep growing.

Why do they all speak like they live in a society of toddlers

Several reasons; first among them being that what you're hearing isn't really a "white American women" accent. It's fake, but very appealing to their target audience.
Factors at play:

• They are marketing to fat adult-toddlers and old people with hearing aids, so they have to speak slowly and exaggerate certain words.
• Off of the above, their manner of speaking is also very common in Evangelical churches, so it's familiar to a lot of the audience. Someone else will have to elaborate on that phenomenon, though, since I don't know the origins of that one.
• The Home Shopping Network is based out of Florida, but they're trying to emulate the "normal TV accent" which is itself a Californian thing. There's a lot of accent leveling in America, so it does sound like everyone has the same one, but once in a while you'll run into differences that throw you for a loop when you're listening. People who have those accents have to consciously overcome them when speaking for TV/radio/etc.

I blame Youtubers and the like for why old games are very expensive now. I feel like if we ignored these collectors with Youtube channels, the prices would remain largely the same.

Someone earlier today in another thread was talking about the autism to even more autism pipeline.

Well what do you know!

One man’s audio aggravation, is another man’s surprise fap of the day!

The only thing that pissed me off to an irrational degree was the electric whisker thingie.

YOU LAZY FAT NIGGERS!
An ELECTRIC whisker? All you need to do is move your wrist around in a circular motion! If you can fap, I’m pretty sure you can handle this task by hand.

I present to you Disney's latest consoomer trophy: a $5000 Star Wars branded cocktail

I'm looking at this article below:
Direct Link/Archive Link
So, this is what you get besides a pathetic drink:

• A Star Wars backpack
• A Star Wars water bottle
• A Hyperspace-themed room decoration
• A bottle of personalized sparkling wine from Skywalker Vineyards
• A voucher to go to Skywalker Ranch

Some plastic shit, some wine that may taste like other wine, and the only thing that a Star Wars fag would like is go to the ranch.

I rather just apply to Lucasfilms and visit Skywalker Ranch as an employee than just waste $5k (and some additional money for the cruise). At least I'm making money, and I have a chance to visit there on the company's dime.

What the hell is Skywalker ranch anyway? Wasn’t the moisture farm on Tattoine called the Lars Homestead (as in Owen and Beru Lars)

It's George Lucas's movie ranch. I don't see the point of going there since it's very close to shit capital San Francisco, and it's just a ranch. I don't see anything noteworthy there except it's Star Wars based.

 

[weedcum]

These people are so retarded they've never heard of the fucking Khyber Pass?

kyber crystals are named after the khyber pass iirc, kinda like how jabba the hutt is allegedly based on some arabic phrase that includes hut (whale), implying fatness. george lucas is a total autist about these things so i believe it.

>Drinks
Cheap, dyed liquor called Luke tears or hard blue milk x5; $10
>A Star Wars backpack
All Disney merch is manufactured as cheap as possible to maximize profits unless its with a brand collaboration; probably worth $15
>A Star Wars water bottle
Again, cheap plastic bottle just printed with Reys face or something dumb on it; $3
>A Hyperspace-themed room decoration
Plastic molded garbage unless its like an artists painting which is probably isn't; $30
>A bottle of personalized sparkling wine from Skywalker Vineyards
Skywalker Vineyards' list price is $120 for sparkling fuckin wine, not even Champagne; $120
(For reference a good bottle of Champagne is only $50-$60)
>A voucher to go to Skywalker Ranch
Napa Valley wine tastings range from $75-$300 depending on the winery and tour plan. Ill be generous and say Skywalker Ranch is worth $200 even though most sommeliers would never recommend it.

All in all its only roughly $378 worth of merch for the price of that stupid $5000 'drink.'

I can think of a million better ways to spend $5000 than on this. You would have the be the ultimate Star Wars consoomer or a Saudi who spends money on dumb shit to buy this.
