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

You know he's just going to try to resell it rather than keep it. Though how you'd get away with selling a giant batman funko anywhere except private sellers far away is a mystery.

And underground ring of funkpop dealers would be hilarious.
Whenever I see these comic book stores propped up entirely with walls of Funkos, you know the ones, they’re entirely vanity business by their owners and just end up being a hive of smelly unwashed pedos lurking by the high school boys playing Magic - you know what I’m talking about - I just think they shouldn’t exist. So I’m glad for anything that makes their daily operations more difficult.
 
The consoomer temple still lives on, even in today’s circles:

It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense to celebrate advent at this time, your silly Christian religion means nothing to our Chinese handlers. Buy advent calendars anytime of the year! sToCkInG sTuFfErS ANYTIME! Gnomes and pickup Truck decorations for all holidays! Buy more useless shit! Consoom consoom consoom!

speaking of holiday things

why does it seem like every consumer woman needs to have a favorite holiday that she goes nuts for and defines her whole life for half a year? usually its halloween, the halloween girls are the worst, but christmas and thanksgiving are up there
Halloween is up there on the "won't shut up about it" scale, but the Christmas ones are the ones that spend the most money. This is not counting gift giving into the equation, this is just decorations and clothes.
 
Whoever came up with the edible gold gimmick is a devilish genius. That stupid 24k gold paper costs like 5$.

I think it used to be mostly aimed at restaurants where they could compete to have the "most expensive whatever" and get in the Guiness World Records for free advertising and getting the occasional person with too much expendable cash to buy it. Now it's probably more aimed at said latter crowd since some lame zoomer influencer can go make a Tiktok showing them eating a 1,000 dollar bagel or whatever and get a million views.
 
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.
I tried to, but the damn kids didn't listen. They just heard "Womp womp womp Mario womp womp womp Ape Escape womp womp womp EPROM! EPROM!" then went back to playing Fortnite.
 
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.
I'm a Fate fan, but that's mental, especially for a meme character that has FAR too much Hentai about him. That person has a disease

For some bizarre reason, only his Potekoro plush is the most expensive while other character potekoro plushes are kinda okay-priced.

Times like this vindicates me about only keeping Fate at the 3 original paths and any other spinoff (Prisma Illya, Apocrypha, Last Encore, Grand Order) as irrelevant.

The spin-offs are fun, but they lose a lot of the original charm and open it for weirdos like this to get obsessed over comic relief charecters.
 
Oh boy don't get me started on those who keep obsessing over Prisma Illya. My god it makes the Astolfo fanatics look tame in comparison.
How it keeps getting renewed... I don't get it. Look at any site that scores anime, and the amount of people that watch each subsequent season drops like a rock. But that's loli coom brains for you. Consoomers that are the ultimate whales for any franchise
 
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.
tbf I tried using retroarch and that was obnoxious to set up. I could have looked up a tutorial I guess, I didnt really bother with it too much because yeah, its just easier to get a standalone emulator and just drop the files in the ROM folder and go. Especially if you only want like a few emulators and dont care about having your MAME library with your MS DOSbox shit.

If you want to setup emulators to work properly, especially something like retroarch, you should just use a tutorial that spoon feeds you and holds your hand through the process.
