You've said it better than I could ever say it. I also hate the really hypermodern style especially (all in the same Lian-Li chassis) in high-end gaming PCs these days where everything has to be RGB including the PSU, SATA SSD and cable extenders.

IMO, lighting is only good when it's applied tastefully and isn't rainbow tat like seen here and in both the room and PC.

Abomination. I bought a pre-built at the height of the graphic cards pricing disaster and it came with a case that has three RGB fans in front, it's incredibly annoying to see that shit out of the side of my eye while playing vidya. I have no idea how one can tolerate or even enjoy a monstrosity like the one pictured. Fucking zoomers.

In some cases, it's alright. If it's not all rainbow puke and it has some type of slow fading or quiet glowing effect which uses soft colouring IMO it's fine.

But nowadays the high-end PC market and even the mid-range PC market (to an extent) has just been about having as many things as you can in RGB since it makes these types of consumers believe that it's some type of flex they can have over others just like those who buy very expensive clothes even though they look like tacky morons to the rest of the world.

Found in a Reddit thread discussing Ant-Man 3's low box office

You must be young kiddo if your first IMAX was Ant Man 3. Sub par CG. A waste of the format. At least Michael Bay knew how to film The Last Knight even if the plot was shit, that film blew my nuts off visually even if I barely remember that pipe dream.
 
Towards the beginning of this thread I posted about Cinemasickness, a man that collects DVD's obsessively.

It also appears he is a mega-fan of The Spice Girls.

Has anyone accidentally consoomed before? I really liked watching Cowboy Bebop on Toonami back in school and recently saw a figure of Spike for sale. I ordered it thinking it would be the size of those little Nintendo ones and it would just sit on my bookshelf. Well it showed up after several months of delays (actually I ordered it at a different address and the Post correctly forwarded, it to my complete surprise) and this thing is huge. His pistol is slightly larger than my thumbnail for a sense of scale. It's painted really well, the hair is super detailed, and so is his jacket, but I can't put it anywhere, it's too large to fit on my bookshelf. I guess I'll just keep it boxed up and try to sell it in like 10 years. I'm embarrassed!
 
Remember Safiya Nygaard's "I stayed at every Vegas hotel" series?
Here's a new sister-video:
Some highlights:
  • Food Network! Food Network!
  • Foie gras tastes like cheese
  • "Lot of yuzu action on this trip."
  • Gordon Ramsey steak, Gordon Ramsey burger, Gordon Ramsey fish and chips, Gordon Ramsey pub and grill, and Hell's Kitchen
  • Ok, I would go to Bazaar Meats
  • Foie gras cotton candy
  • SHE DOESN'T PLAY THE CRUNCH NOISES FOR THE POTATO CHIP BURGER. THANK GOD.
  • Cake vending machines
I gave up after the Guy Fieri one.
Goddammit I miss Bourdain.

I don't know if that's so much consooming as an impulse buy based on something you like that turned out to be larger than expected, lol.
See, now you have to put it on display to remind you to be more careful when you shop.

if you buy a glass to drink water from instead of cupping your hands you are a consoomer.

Does buying really nice equipment that are specialized tools in something where you're a semi-professional level (as a hobby) count? Like yeah, I could do it with general tools but I'm spending twice or three times the time without them.

No, that's buying quality equipment that's both useful and relevant to the purpose, and will be used.

As a welder, when it comes to tools, as long as it it isn't Snap On cringeworthyness (Consoomers all their own), and you buy good shit at a fair price, made in USA always a plus, I say do it. Take Norton grinding wheel products. A good chunk are made in the US or use US materials, and last for a fucking long time, which on my 10,000 RPM Milwaukee grinder (another great brand many swear by), is honestly pretty nessicary if I don't want to be switching wheels every few days.

So if it's more than just a casual hobby, upgrade man. Buy good shit.

Squishmallows will be right behind them.

I actually rather like Squishmallows and have a couple of my own, but the market and collectors are fast approaching Funko pop levels of batshittery.

I used to be in a Squishmallow group where the premise was to post them in funny situations. I don't even collect them, just like plushies in general and thought it was an amusing group. Then one day someone posted a pic with their Squismallow sitting next to actual meth and black tar heroin. The group imploded on itself with half being like "it's unreasonable to allow literal meth here" and "hurrhurr it's no different than the pics of Squish pretending to smoke weed, grow up you baby." Bruh it's fucking meth, you're a fucking methhead. Anyway not exactly consoomer in this instance but Squishmallow fans are I N S A N E in numerous ways.

Yes. Real men punch trees like in Mincraft until they turn into piles of wood and turn that wood into tools.
 
my fiance likes to buy those squishmallows. i don't mind her having the like 3 or 4 she has because they make good pillows but i have to cut her off at that or she'll go full consoomer with them.
