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

This is in response to the tweet itself, not really the rest of your post.

The first image is of ancient sculptures of the female form, many of which are thought to have been created BY the women of that time. The exaggerated proportions make sense when you think of a woman looking downward at her own body. The middle sculpture is the Venus of Willendorf if anyone's interested.

I feel like people like this never want to highlight the contributions that women have made and only want to complain about the bad stuff men have done.

Also kek'd at what I assume to be Twilight Sparkle pron.

With all this talk of rare games going up in price, I have to wonder... how many of these people are trying to get the games for the sake of collecting vs. playing? It seems like there is a shocking number of people out there that, for whatever reason, do not use emulators. Are most of these Gen Z kids so tech illiterate that they can't figure out how they work, or even how to download them?

I think that for a lot of people, especially for the consoles that were relevant when they were a child, there’s a comfy nostalgic aspect to playing games on the original hardware that running them on your PC just wouldn’t hit quite the same. There’s also sometimes an “I want to play this exactly how someone in 19XX would have played it” history nerd aspect, especially if they really go all in by buying an old CRT TV. I think a lot of zoomers could figure out emulators pretty easily, especially for PS1 era and earlier stuff that Just Works for the most part, but a lot of them just don’t want to. And then of course you have the “emulation is piracy and piracy is bad” mega consoomers, which are a whole other subspecies.

A lot are just for the sake of collecting. Condition aside from functionality shouldn’t matter much to you if you’re buying it to play it, and you don’t need more than one.

That’s what I do.

Gen Z got into the "stealing is WRONG NO MATTER WHAT" mindset even if it means they don't actually own anything (streaming services).

But also yes the majority are tech illiterate. There is zero difference however in the number of people who are tech illiterate, emulators etc will always be for more dedicated nerds and always have been. Ask anyone old enough to have to help their family member plug in their VHS player to their TV. The only difference between back then and now is a significantly higher number of the population is online now thanks to the easy access zero work computer in their pocket. There is a reason you're more likely to find normies buying those 100 in 1 bootleg consoles and mini legit consoles that came out because they're plug and play.

This comic pretty spot on. Not only Consoomer Culture a politically correct replacement for religion in the west. It designed to replace the traditional family. Why do you think Twitter trannies freakout over the wholesome Japanese McDonald’s commercial?

Won't powerlevel too much, but I can confirm a sizable chunk either don't know about emulators, or know but are scared to make use of them.

Holy shit, to hear /v/ tell it, running an emulator takes an act of god and even then never works right. I'm astonished at how incompetent the buffoons over there are about absolutely anything that requires any deviation from bottom-tier "click button to play" consumption of interactive audio/visual entertainment products.

That reminds me of how the creepy, weirdo TF2 YouTuber VenusianRapper (whom you might recall got featured on the Farms a little while back) was apparently unable to use an emulator even with someone holding his hand and walking him through the process. A lot it I think is that people just memorize what they're supposed to do so that they can do very specific things on a computer, without understanding any of the terminology or the principles of what they're actually doing.

Did you ever have any indication as to whether they have an easier time with Android emulators?

It is a shame that the Napster generation did not pass down that wisdom unto their children. In a perfect world, millions of zoomers must seed.

When it comes to collecting multiple pieces of merchandise of the same character, how many items does it take to reach consoomerism territory? Let's use this person's Astolfo collection as an example:



I'd say 3-5 items would be the limit before reaching consoomer territory, and even that is a big if.

And the small bean plush there, shot up in value because people memed the hell out of it.

 

[Raging Capybara]

Every emulator I've ever used in my life is plug-and-play.

I open the .exe and click on the game I want to play. I don't know what those retards are doing.

The PS3 emulator asks you to download the console Bios, the link directs you to the official Sony website. It's that easy.

Between OpenEmu and Dolphin, emulation has become about as easy as it can get.

Unfortunately, the issues that others brought up, like zoomers being scared of piracy, or the simple fact that emulators don’t come fully loaded with games already, is legitimately the reason normies don’t want to use them. That little extra effort is just too much.

I didn’t use emulators back in the day because I didn’t have a powerful enough computer for GameCube/PS2 emulation.

That's pretty gay. I wonder what this guys Bridget collection looks like.

I used to use emulators constantly in the early 2000’s for SNES and gameboys games - I have fond memories of playing a wonky fan translation of Pokémon Gold/Silver before it came out in the US. But I stopped for the above reason, and I haven’t thought about it in some time. Your post made me realize that these days even my crappy laptop could handle ps2 emulation! I’m unreasonably excited, time to download all my old favorite games! Emulators are a great way to get around the greed of companies profiting over and over again on your nostalgia. I got so mad when they took away backwards compatibility on consoles. There are some games I’ve bought like three or four times to keep being able to play them on newer hardware, but not everything gets ported and it’s super lame to get charged like $30-50 bucks sometimes for a game you originally bought in 2002 for the same exact amount.

creepy, weirdo TF2 YouTuber

very nonspecific

Our idea of a plug-and-play and a normie idea is very different. I've met zoomers and cuspers/young millenials who had no idea they had to empty out the trash bin on their laptop.

The moment you start a shrine shelf is when you've hit consoomer.
