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

[GilaCutter]

Found this on the thread of famed Consoomer MovieBob, and it reminded me of another aspects of Consoomers I can't stand: the attempt to compare actual art and culture to their 1980's corporate produced nostalgia obsessions:

What makes this even more hilarious is the fact that there actually is a Hamlet action figure with a spring-loaded Yorick's skull accessory.

>Find Goosebuds podcast by accident
>Few minutes in they ended up going on a political rant about fat shaming and children's entertainment should never be mean spirited, like Salute your shorts and the slappy episode of the 90s goosebumps show.
>Random rants about capitalists are evil while being obsessed with goosebumps merchandise and 90s consumerism
>They call the term NPC an alt-right racial slur in the chiliogy episode of the goosebuds podcast.
>Randomly go on defunding the police rants between talking about early 90s television shows
>Childless adult men in their 30s crying, bad guys in 90s kids shows using slavery as a threat
>They call Salute your shorts homophobic because they think a child actor with a speech impediment is making fun of the gay stereotype accent
>Cries about Salute your shorts having alt-right themes because it has fat and fart jokes
>Gets mad that kids in salute your shorts characters enjoy getting payback back on the bully character
>They call salute your shorts a bad show because it was just written for kids instead of adults like them like modern cartoons on Cartoon Network and Disney channel
>The only funny part of the podcast was one of the podcast members describing eating a $15.99 hot dog during a con an religious experience because he was starving all day
>They all think being hungry during a con counts as working class suffering

What the hell up with communists running consumerism podcasts? I noticed communism online when they were not obsessed with Disney. They were always obsessed with early 90s child horror and power rangers. Especially the green ranger.

Nerd Culture Consumerist Men, when reaching the age of 30 (give or take a few years starting off) begin to go through mental changes, much like their later mid-life crisis, in which they have an uncontrollable urge to create a podcast. If you or your loved one is currently struggling with the symptoms of wanting to create a podcast, there is help for you.

Also this is the reason why 99% of podcasts are shit. There isn't enough to talk about regarding the media they're obsessed with usually, so it spirals into chatter that used to only be reserved for hanging out with your friends over a drink. Also the Goosebumps books were recently censored in the UK so words like "crazy" and "plump" are changed to something else without asking the author about it. That's probably why they happened to go on that particular rant.

These niggers found goosebumps

Do yourself a favor and don't look up The Animorphs on tumblr. Twitter and tumblr artists turned the Animorphs into transgender propaganda despite the fact the villains, the Yeerks, are a borderline transgender alien race that think they are curing racism and bigotry by enslaving everyone into being a Yeerk controller.

Nerd Culture Consumerist Men, when reaching the age of 30 (give or take a few years starting off) begin to go through mental changes, much like their later mid-life crisis, in which they have an uncontrollable urge to create a podcast.

Starting a podcast is becoming the new midlife crisis cliche, replacing buying a new car or Harley Davidson motorcycle. At least baby boomers have families and wives. In the modern nerd culture, men probably get less pussy than nerds in the 80s and 90s. Nerds boys at least had nerd girls to fall back on. Nowadays, nerdy and girls are the biggest sluts on campus. They aren't banging the nerd boys.

Also the Goosebumps books were recently censored in the UK so words like "crazy" and "plump" are changed to something else without asking the author about it. That's probably why they happened to go on that particular rant.

Hollywood is waiting for R.L. Stine to die the same way they waited for SpongeBob creator SpongeBob to die. Nickelodeon announced what four SpongeBob spin-offs after Stephen Hillenburg death? Stephen outright refused to do any spin-offs when he was alive.

Everything was going fine then the Wata Games jews came. Sucks for normal people who were into old games but all the retards that bought at inflated prices after the whale rush thinking they were going to make millions flipping chronno trigger and zelda cartridges deserve to be left holding the bag. Everyone already in the hobby was saying from the beginning the inflated prices are retarded and most videogames are not scarce at all.

I think it'll probably even worse than that.

Yeah, I've heard that "bubble is gonna burst anytime soon" nonsense for years and while there may be some truth to it, I think the much more likely scenario is that all those morons left holding the bag are now stuck with crap they paid way too much for and want it gone from their lives, but rather than just accepting they've been had and taking the loss, they try to sell it for those same inflated prices nobody is paying anymore in a desperate attempt to get their money back. And then they will sit on that crap until the day they die, at which point everyone who'd wanted said crap is also dead.

Are these people actually going to play the thousands of dollars worth of old games they're buying before the shop shuts down or is this just more compulsive consooming? The 3DS is over a decade old and if they actually owned it that long then something tells me they would have already owned and played what they wanted during that time. It reminds me of the people that own thousands of videogames but if you go to their online play history they barely, if ever, actually play anything they own and have a few hours in a game at most.

I can understand maybe if there were a few titles they just didn't get around to and were interested in and want to get them before it's too late, but this is really just digital hoarding.

It’s made worse by the fact you can easily crack the 3DS without any additional hardware mods needed and install & play anything you want for free.

To think two years ago, before the Russian invasion. Western journalists were calling Ukrainians Nazis for being the most conservative Eastern European country. I feel bad for Ukrainians actually fighting and dying while rainbow capitalists profit off them by turning the Ukraine flag into a pride flag.

Good god why the hell are they so enraged about fucking Salute Your Shorts of all things? That was as harmless and milquetoast a show as you could possibly make back in the 90's. We're talking fart jokes, water balloons and raiding the counselor's cabin for junk food here.

I feel like these were the fags who went to summer camp one time, got beaten up and ostracized by the normal kids for being complete and utter spazzes, and declared "summer camp is evil, never again!" and now they want to lash out at it in adulthood. Except they're pussies who are still afraid of the summer camp kids and won't dare attack them directly, so their next "best" option is a Nickelodeon TV show set in a summer camp from the 90's that barely anyone remembers.

I think just as a principle you shouldn't take away something people payed for. If that is unrealistic for a digital storefront, then perhaps digital distribution just shouldn't be a thing at all.

I've always reasoned that the only way to make digital storefronts reasonably "moral" is to provide an exit strategy to its customers in the event of store closure. You should be able to download any product you've purchased (in a portable form for off-device archival) with store-based DRM stripped out so that ten years down the road you can still install it on an old device from some archival hard drive or CD-ROM or whatever and still play it.

Honestly you should still have access to a game's binaries and data even if you're banned from the game itself (when purchased through a storefront) or you're banned from the storefront itself, and barring that you should be given a full refund.

Of course, none of the above is going to happen in our lifetimes because it's long been the industry's attitude that you're not ever actually buying a game, but paying for a license to play it (which can be revoked unilaterally at any time with no recourse).

Saw someone wearing this exact shirt the other day. No idea if they were actually Ukrainian or not but they were some old decrepit baby boomer. We've reached peak GloboHomo where a sweatshop all the way over in China is mass-producing merchandise for a fucking conflict so Americans can virtue-signal how much they support the Current Thing . Everything is commodified.

After the NFL Player Damar Hamlin had a heart attack on the field during a game, I saw a truck with a sticker on it's rear window that read "PRAY FOR DAMAR". This was about a week after it had happened. Think about the logistical miracles that have to go in to making this happen.

1. Some Chinaman uses a bot to monitor trends on a platform like Twitter or Facebook
2. The factory in China churns out stickers with a design about The Current Thing
3. The stickers are packaged, sent out from the warehouse / factory to a logistics hub
4. The sorting center loads the stickers on a plane.
5. The plane travels 7500 miles across an entire ocean to another logistics hub
6. A freight carrier like USPS takes the stickers and travels another thousand or so miles to deliver the stickers

Think of all the resources, labor, and technological marvels that went into that process. All so some dumbfuck can virtue signal about how much he cares about a football player paid $9.8 million a year. We are so fucked. Enjoy it while it lasts.

They somehow are getting progressively fatter than when they still ate meat.

Most vegetarians and vegans aren't eating healthy food. They cut out meat and then just continue what they'd eat normally (e.g. veggie patties for a normal burger) but these aren't true replacements for the food they've cut out. They end up with carb-heavy diets that are nutritionally deficient, high in seed oils and processed foods, and then tell themselves they're healthy.

Look how many of these items they're eating are "food products".

 

[UnsufficentBoobage]

then tell themselves they're healthy

That tumblr post with vegan bacon recipee comes to mind, SO many reblogs touting it as "healthy option", and it was carrot with sugar, oil and fucking liquid smoke on it. Refried. Salt, liquid smoke, burned untill cancerogenic.
Soo healthy.

Churros, french fries and oreo cookies are vegan after all. Deep fried carbs and sugar are the cornerstone of healthy nutrition.

People truly have terrible hobbies don't they

How is constantly bitching about politics supposed to bring anything positive to your life ? Most people that do it, do it because it's their job, "they want to make a difference" or because they have a savior complex, anyone that does it fun either doesn't take it seriously (the chad option), or they are narcissits that think they can achieve world peace by sperging about first world problems, or because their lives are so sad that they find joy in something so stupid,

At least that's from what I've seen, say more options if you think I'm wrong

The internet has made people think their identity is a hobby. We have a whole ass generation of people who are mostly interested in aspirational "aesthetics" instead of actually living a life that would naturally lead them to the aesthetics they obsess over. Like suburban kids in mcmansions attempt to emulate living in a cottage by buying cheap "rustic" shit on Amazon and Wish instead of learning to do any of the shit that the people in their idealized rural cottage would do.

I think just as a principle you shouldn't take away something people payed for. If that is unrealistic for a digital storefront, then perhaps digital distribution just shouldn't be a thing at all.

NFTs could solve this problem but people are using them as the modern day beanie babies instead. If your purchase of a game/media was certified by giving you an NFT that says you're entitled to a copy of the media you bought, it could solve this problem; but I assume people in charge of digital distribution platforms know this would lose money in the long run so good luck getting anyone to implement it.

Wouldn't it just be the same thing as a redeeming code?. You have the certificate of purchase but the company can still decide not to host the game in their servers anymore.

I've never understood the obsession with replicate meat. It never tastes like what you want, ever. Why not just accept the ingredients for what they are and make something that compliments those flavors into something great instead of a Frankenstein's monster? Also god I hate 99% of youtube channels now. They all have the Youtube voice.

That's how current NFTs work. The token still exists, but whoever is hosting the hyperlink attached to the token can go down. There are other options for "storing" it, but even they can go offline and not have been replicated. Permanent online storage is a myth.

Vegans still want to eat meat, but at the same time they also want to be faggots.

We can dunk on dumb vegans all day, but staying on thread topic we still have plenty to discuss. For me one of the weirdest things about so many vegans is how much processed/"product" food they eat. Most of them aren't eating like your average Buddhist monk. They're eating this crap:
