Some people dislike boardgames because you have to spend 5 to 20 minutes, depending on complexity, reading the manual to learn how to play and even then, it is only after 2 or 3 games that you can fully play it without making mistakes. (This is why most weebs hate HunterxHunter’s greed island)

Pretty much. Board game creators don't understand that most adults don't play board games while sober. If I can't explain the rules of a novel board game while drunk to other drunk people within about two minutes then we're all just going to give up and play Cards Against Humanity.

It's a pretty big disconnect between creators and consumers

A doctor gave his parents Concerta merch after giving him a prescription. :story:

There are a lot of "Floridiands" I.e. people who migrated to Florida with the express purpose of being closer to Disney... do they count as Floridians?
Click to expand...
According to them, yes.
According to everyone else, no. After all, you're not a real Floridian without at least one felony conviction, a neck tattoo, and a daily breakfast of rum and leftover Cuban sandwiches...

This isn’t rare, I’ve seen a lot of medical/drug merch which is basically just the brand name tacked on random crap.

Yep. Pens, staplers, tape dispensers and pencil holders. I've got a bunch of them since pharmaceutical companies kept sending them to me.

That stapler looks pretty shitty though. What you need is the Zithromax zebra dick stapler. I've got one in my office and that thing still works.

The trend of absolutely everything needing a vinyl LP release disgusts me a lot from the music engineering view. No, your favorite mid 2000s emo album or video game OST doesn't need a vinyl release if the masters aren't at least something like 24/96, there's no benefit to glorified CD masters on a bigger plastic disc other than it will weather the decades better than the CD will. Plus it's turned buying new LPs into a minefield where every other store rack is unbought Marvel film scores or 20 copies of Abbey Road and ChangesOneBowie. The only reason this shit persists is because of clowns that go WOA IT SOUNDS SOOOOO MUCH BETTER because their favorite bobblehead on Youtube said so and they rush out to buy some belt drive bullshit and whatever's front paged on Amazon.

I used to fall into this trap and it’s a hard track of thinking to get out of. “If I just had X thing I would be way better”.

I see this a lot in every hobby, but especially in photography. The fact is if you can’t compose and take a good, interesting photo on a 50s scale focus camera you can’t take good photos on anything, but people think top of the line DSLRs and lenses will do magic.

Writers. Gotta have the desk, lamp, right pens, fancy Hermes 3k, proper paper, etc.

Gotta look the part or else and they treat it like a competition, meanwhile they produce Sonic high school tier stuff.

Gonna start biking to work and around town? Well you need the slick helmet, sunglasses, tights, gloves, special tires extra

I used to live in the city, a medium-sized one where people in apartment buildings in the first floor have little back yards. One summer I spent a lot of time on my balcony, and I saw this guy across the street carrying out a bike that probably cost thousands. He also had on the whole ordeal, the helmet, the tights, the sunglasses, the gloves, even those special shoes that lock on to the pedals. I thought he was a hard-core cyclist or something. A couple weeks later I saw the dude come out on roller skates with ski sticks in his hands. Somehow he had different tights, gloves and a helmet on. I think the glasses were the same, but what do I know? The shit he had on didn't look cheap in this case either. Never saw him on the bike or the skates again. I believe he's the type you're talking about.

Cyclists are one of the most NPC types I've seen:

They literally all dress like this at all times, no variation, no flavor, I swear it's the same person just copy-pasted.

At least, in the minimum, they're getting exercise. The cultlike devotion to looking like you're going on the tour de france is what I don't understand.

There's a pretty good article about this:

Are You Taking The False First Step? - Break the Twitch

While we might have the right goals, we're trying to reach them in all the wrong ways by taking false first step after false first step.

I could never get into cycling, not only do you look like a dork, it has a ton of specialized products that are aimed specifically at reducing discomfort to your ass and genitals. Seats, lotions, special pants.
