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

Lord knows that famous musicians are great at getting certain instruments sold.

The only instrument I might be cajoled into buying because of a musician is a hello kitty guitar. Nativity in black

He's good. It's amazing how good musicians can make music out of a paper cup and a bit of old clothesline strung on the back of a chair... or in this case, Hello Kitty tat made from plywood and lead paint.

So I just found out collecting plastic realistic horses is a hobby:

View attachment 5777860

Mostly women are obsessed with this garbage it seems. Horses have no purpose beyond being displayed. Some seem to buy them like beanie babies because they think they will raise in value.

The model horse hobby wants to emulate the actual horse hobby, so they have plastic model horse shows where they judge the most pretty painted horse. Look at this gorgeous winner, straight from Alabama:

Spoiler: Which horseman of the apocalypse lost his mare?

Prices for a horse are on average 30-500 dollars. But most of these collectors seem to just buy mass market shit and have 50 variations of the same brown horse in the same pose.

Most expensive horse I could find was this one, it sold for 65k 2 years ago:

But my favorite is this one I found on ebay for $225:

If someone has some insider insight about this community please enlighten me, is this warhammer for fat white women? At least unlike the funkopop neckbeards, these women take the horses out of the boxes to display them.

Oh shit, I did a double-take thinking those were Schleich (a German toy company) horses. And some of them could be, but it's hard to tell since they have no tags and were likely all repainted. Most of their toys are about realistic animals, but I know they have a fantasy line too so that pegasus could also be one of them.

PL: I collected Schleich horses and other animals for a bit, they are nice, made with good quality softer plastic and they don't cost much. I also got a few rare old ones from Ebay with tags (while Funkos need to be in their boxes to be worth something, these toys need the original tag which is attached to one of the legs usually) and they weren't much expensive either. Then I finally came to my senses and realized I would never have enough space so I stopped collecting them, but I still have them. Also when I was kid I had several Schleich's Smurfs, I wish I knew where they ended up.

An example of the current Schleich tag:

The old one:


Back then I noticed it had a custom painting scene (mostly girls posting their creations on their livejournal..) but, since I only cared about the official releases, I never looked much into it. Too bad cause I remember there were some horrors not unlike that... thing in the 4th pic.

Smoking marijuana shrinks the prefrontal cortex, making people effectively brain damaged. Even if that wasn't the case the basic bitch stoner is agonizingly insufferable because they only, only talk about getting stoned and nothing else.

most people are under the belief that you cant get addicted to cannabis

smoking weed the same way one would drink alcohol, every once in a while on a nice relaxing night in or at a party with friends, is completely harmless
but the average smoker does it daily and believes theyre not addicted

that, combined with the fact that being fucked up daily makes you not desire to do, create, or engage with anything, makes it pretty clear why their personality settles 100% on weed
its ALL they ever busy themselves with

"I may have blown $3,000 on grass in the past year but I'm not, like, addicted man"
I've seen so many dumbasses make this exact argument that I'd rather spent time with gutter-dwelling alcoholics for their honesty.

I am really not sure where to put this but recently Nintendo settled a lawsuit against Yuzu emulator. Someone more experienced in lawspeak than me can probably has more details on it.

There are 2 things I haven't seen talked about in regards to consumer culture in general but especially here.

1: Tattoos, I see so many people spending so much money then tattoos and it is so dumb, I would argue spending your money on funko pops is better, at least with those if you grow up and decide you don't want them. You can just sell them or give them to someone else, granted you won't make all your money back but still. With tattoos if grow out of them you have to pay to get rid of them. I hear of people now who get tattoos removed so they have room for new tattoos. I am not judging everyone who has tattoos obviously, it's cool and all if you only have a few but those niggas with huge sleeves of them just covering their body. They kind of lose their meaning when you have so many of them and it just looks awful. Among gen Z you are actually a minority if you don't have tattoos. It's one of those "things broke people always have money for"

2: People who consoom experiences rather then products. In the age of social media this is more common now then ever.


I also see this idea that rich people don't consoom, that is a fucking lie. I knew a kid who in his 20s had his die dad, he inherited like 12 million dollars. At one point he owned 32 cars, basically none of them ran because he was always buying cheap luxury cars. He know owns 9 cars which is better but still. He is still rich, he is richer now then ever.

Where does the metal community fall in consumerism? A battle jacket is basically a jacket covered in logos. I have one myself but I can't help but think about that sometimes. A lot of metal merch is downright silly. You've got generic lazy shit where it's just the logo slapped onto something like a beer koozie, there are action figures, instruments, and even condoms and dildos.

a patch jacket is only cool if you compile it yourself
buying it premade is lame and gay

I thought so too at first, but their accounts aren't new and 2/3 accounts do revolve around or have been posting frequently about nintendo for at least 1-2 years.

even if theyre actually Nintendo fans they could absolutely be being ironic when they jokingly praise Nintendo like some kinda god

I don't think so. I used to watch CSGO a lot a few years back. And the Brazilian fans are super fucking mentally damaged. Wouldn't surprise me if there are handicapped Nintendo fans in South America in masses. They do like their anime down there. And they wanted to shank the Brazilian and the German soccer national teams that one time.

I'm genuinely surprised Yuzu lasted this long emulating a console that's still on-going. I know I'm going to sound like a retard but, aren't most emulators usually created long after the original console's end-of-life?

I think people with tattoos should have a number tattooed on them so they can be identified when we put them all into camps

 

[Roy's Food Repair]

Not really, often times they're made while the console is still alive. One noteworthy case is that of Bleem, a PS1 emulator released in stores in 1999, while the PS1 was still supported by Sony.

Video on Bleem and the court case between it's devs and Sony

I'll ask my tattooist about this when I see him in a couple weeks thanks for the tip.
I got 3 8hour sessions booked for a full sleeve over the next few months, hopefully the camp is cool.

There's no child, manchild or lunatic depressed enough or with standards low enough to play with that, or even consoom it. I mean look at it. It's as non-descript as can be. It's about as much Star Trek as I am.

the development of PCSX2 started back in 2002, when the PS2 was still considered a "new" console

Any low end PC can still fly circles around Nintendo consoles. Having fhe most underpowered hardware bit them on the ass there.
