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

I'd argue the price of Nintendo shit is almost entirely the "Disney of vidya" effect.
My other guess on why PS1/2 & Xbox is cheaper would be how much easier it is to pirate games on real hardware for the others:
  • PS1 can use tonyhax to run CD-Rs without a modchip, along with the swap-trick.
  • PS2 Has FreeMcBoot with either DVD-Rs or ISOs off a local file server.
  • Xbox can be softmodded into booting DVD-Rs or straight from the internal hard drive (this one had the biggest drop in price, IMO.)
In comparison, the GC either requires a custom game save, action replay, or modchip, along with special DVD-Rs

tonyhax was just a recent thing. FMB didn't come out until like 2009 or so. The softmod community sprung up in like 2002/3 IIRC. You can also upgrade the Xbox's HDD and put every game on the system. There's a new bios hack that allows up to 16tb drives now. Before it was limited to 2tb. 4-8tb should be enough for every Xbox Game/Demo/Homebrew Plus Emulators and their games (Atari 2600 - N64/PS1).

There's a new modchip released for the GC that allows you to use a RPi Pico to boot directly into SWISS to boot games from the serial port. The Wii is still easier to hack and use since you can use any USB Drive or SD Card. But this new hack isn't that expenseive and probably cost under $50 raw material (Pico + SD2SP2+256gb Micro SD). Still requires soldering but its a 1 time thing. Apparently there's a fucking m.2 adapter in dev. for the serial 1 port. Nuts.


The only reason to use a GC over Wii is video quality. the GC's video is better than the Wii's. Or you can just get one of the newer SBCs [RK3588] and run Wii and GC games in 1080p plus every other system under the sun below PS2.

Edit: For a while, to get the best video quality out of the GC, it was super expensive. Since the only component cables were using the digital port and those were sold in limited quanties and required some special handshake shit to work. So very few 3rd party cables were made. Folks did hack the digital port and figure out how to use it. But its still more expensive than just grabbing a set of Wii Component Cables.

Was also going to shout-out the Wii, but felt like not making my post longer then it was.

As someone who is guilty of statue collecting consoomerism, I don't understand collecting shoes either.

The weirdest thing about sneaker collecting is that sneakers start deteriorating if you just keep them in a box. In a few years they start falling apart. Even if you wear them occasionally they're still not going to last particularly long. I just don't see the appeal.

The only thing I can see why people do it is if you want to flip them a few months after release. Limited editions sell out, consoomers still want then so the after market starts churning, happens with statues all the time. I have never ventured in that because A. I am in it for the collecting and B. I just don’t have that kind of a budget to gamble on rarity vs after market profit.

An NBA jersey collection is still a real thing to witness

I’m surprised that it’s an almost 33 minute video of this.

It's a very feminine hobby. Given it's especially promoted to black men (i.e. Air Jordans), maybe it's some sort of buck breaking thing.

Blacks are actually very feminine. They might be aggressive but it's in a hysterical sense, not like controlled violence. They're also far more in tune with the feel of the group and seldomly undertake something on their own. The position a "momma" has in a household is a sign of a matriarchal culture. She is responsible and plans and organizes most of it (insofar these people organise and plan stuff). The black man, if he actively exists within a household is mostly regaled to lazing about. He is most often just absent. This is true for both african-americans and many west african cultures, where the woman forms the core of the household.

A more patriarchal culture would rank self-sufficiency, independent thought and self-restraint far higher than it happens among those of african descent.

Haven't really thought about it before. But it's actually very true. Women are the ones that act through feelings. Not just in a sexist way, but biologically. So I would guess thing gets fucky wucky in their head, when they are forced to go against their nature.

So this girl:
  • Always needs the next cool new thing
  • She isn't consistent/doesn't care about plant care
  • "I let plants die if I lose interest in it."
  • "I don't find joy in taking care of my plants."
Then what's the fucking point?
Also people in the comments are asking where she bought her eyelashes. Shit's wild.

He's also a 85 year old man that acts like a 35 year old millennial. The dude is as old as my grandma and yet treats Twitter as if it's the most important thing in the world.

Not surprising, many gay men will have the mentality of teenage girls for life and do age inappropriate things, like stan 20 year-old female popstars when they're in their 50s or wear clothing brands and styles aimed at people in their 20s. George Takei strikes me as someone trying to be younger rather than accepting the age he actually is.

My initial diagnosis of him was autism but he doesn't have that weird tism' voice they all seem to have. He may just be the middle stage evolution of a spoiled consooming soyboy. The dude is only 20 and has the hair of a 50 year old.

The point is just projecting a certain lifestyle. Like look at those forrest gump tier perfectly clean white? "fake farmer pants" she is wearing. Backing that style up with RL lore is the purpose.
Its just typical BPD pixiegourl "skinwalking" you can see all over the beauty parlour but as "mother nature/farm guirl" in her case. Fake it until you make it until it gets boring and you move on to the next thing to replace your non-existent personality with.

Also, plants are probably one of the the worst things in general to use for skinwalking since you have to commit to the hobby properly for it to work.
Cant take it seriously for two weeks and then do nothing for a month and then another week of "im such a farmer haha" LARP. Or you end up like her.

Also, growing just random bullshit is kinda boring, you want a specific plant, ideally something useful and it will be a lot more fun since the work is not just for works (or instagrams) sake but to eat/smoke/use your own, self-grown shit. That makes every watering more rewarding since its a step closer to your 100% self-made high-quality tomato salad.
But then again, that requires the kinda commitment (both financially and especially time-wise) that its a bit above the mental paygrade of people like her.
Projects like that are literally months-long and you cant just ignore them for 3 weeks to go to coachella or whatever.
You have to commit those few hours of work per week or face failure. You have to learn how plants work and at least the basic "Do's and Dont's" of growing anything.

All of that being said, plant-shit is heavily recommended by me. Stuff is fun and highly rewarding if you do it right and need a new hobby that isnt entirely about COOMSOOOM NAO.
It also includes as much tech/chemistry/biology autism as you want it to and gives you complete certainty that that tomato was not fucked with in some way.
But be aware, it requires patience like few other hobbies. You see surprising progress from one week to the next, (generally) not one day.
Also, some days require like 12 hours of work, but thats usually only at the very start/end of a plant-project and is also kinda fun if you like plantstuff.

Scratch all that, the nose ring is the only thing you need to stay away from her. Isn't always needing something fun and exciting a sign of sociopathy too? She basically admitted to the whole fucking internet, that she's crazy as fuck.

That's also why her saying she wants "the newest best thing" is weird. She only wants things because other people tell her to want them.
