Theater kids made collecting games gay. They post that shit online, brag about it. I just do it because it's fun, that and the possibilityof archiving it someday. They do it for clout "look at me, I got a NES copy of Mario 3!". Fucking faggots.

They’re like nerds but performative, dramatic, and seek outside attention/validation for everything they do. It’s basically as you described, but IRL and usually the normal people think they’re loud weirdos and the insular nerds resent them for presenting the latter’s Special Interests to the general public in the most cringeworthy manner possible.
 
This is the first time I have seen the theatre-type kids getting blamed for "ruining" "nerd culture" and I actually don't think it is the most retarded thing I have heard. It makes me think of the really loud obnoxious SuperWhoLock women and the guys obsessed with Firefly and Naruto and Zelda and now I think the suggestion has some feet because I remember nerd merchandise becoming a lot easier to find and more mainstream around those guys' prime, though that may also be due to the internet rapidly becoming more mainstream and accessible (fucking RIP).

I think why theater kids specifically are getting the blame is because, while there were always TMI autistic nerds trying to drag normies into listening to their rants about their Special Interests, the norm used to be that nerds knew they were nerds, and kept their nerd shit under the table because they knew it was niche.

Where theater kids come in is when you have nerds, then give them the idea that they should take up performative acting. Now, in their mind every social interaction has become a rehearsal to hone their acting skills, and they’re still nerds, so they now not only seek out people to interact with, but talk to them about nerd shit because that’s the main thing they know about. Give these people money to do this, and enough of a platform, and you get what you have today.
 
Huawei's newest phone, in addition to China's recently implemented ban on having iPhones in government areas, has led to a strange wave of consoomerism for Huawei phones. Some people have gone as far as to bowing at Huawei stores, for the product itself, and for nationalistic pride, despite the phone's stats being equivalent to a few year's older iPhone:

That just smells like a government propaganda thing. However after watching the video, I find it interesting that governments now seem to be using consoomer behavior in their control and power methods. We're in for a wild ride in the future folks when it comes to China.

It's scary being at the point with governments mandating what to buy and trying to influence what we eat. China is just ground zero, forcing them to get the commie phones.

Basically this. Theater kids take your hobby, shout it from the roof, and then people make fun of it as it becomes normie. You just liked old games. They wanted to spread it without caring about the damage it'd do.

Strange I'd always assumed the current state of retro gaming was due to the people who grew up with then being at the age where they have alot of disposable income and bad faith actors like resellers and scalpers deliberately hyping the games up. Maybe it's just the sites I use but I haven't seen these type of kids pretending to like the hobby yet.

I'd love to see some of these types of videos of kids braging about owning old nintendo games, I've seen it with graded game "investors" where the they bragged about owning rare games and how great they are despite never playing them.

Where do you think they start? They were those kids. The youtubers alone have destroyed retro gaming. They hype it up, prices go up, then people horde those old games despite there being millions, enough to go around for the remaining consoles

Dude that was just life growing up man. You go into a used game shop anymore, and the fun games are behind glass and cost more than they did at retail. Unboxed. It starts at word of mouth, until youtubers drive up artificial hype for a fucking copy of Pokemon Red, despite there being millions of those in existence.

There was also that one episode of Storage Wars where the guy said a regular ole nintendo console went for thousands. Or was it millions I forget. That got the normie scalpers in on the retro game "I know what I have" trend.

Yeah it got them thinking that maybe their game/console/whatever was the ONE. The number of Duck Hunts and Super Mario Bros I've seen elderly normies trying to sell for $50+ is amazing.

This is what I'm talking about. One guy will make a common game "super rare" just by saying it is, and now Duck Hunt is full priced AGAIN. All because young kids will see that, and now want a copy as they hit their game stores trying to scoop a copy for a console they probably they don't even own (barring a Retron that let's you play those old games). I'd say Nintendo is the worst offender. Even just getting old controllers is hard, because if you want OEM ones, prepare to pay for that autism for your old console.

lyrics:
"Savages"

It's funny there I was
There I was just ordering a frappuccino with some pumpkin spice
Scrolling through the pictures
Scrolling through the pictures of some people that I didn't really like

At war with every species, from dinosaur to seaweed
Peace love high-fives free wifi
At war with every species, Veni vidi vici
Peace love tie-dye free wifi

I was just standing in the store
I had forgotten what I'd started looking for

There must be something, there really must be something
I can buy to make this feeling go away
There must be some way, there really must be some way
To get high and make this feeling go away

Somebody sell me something please somebody sell me something
I am numb and I feel nothing from the junk my heart is pumping
Somebody tell me something please somebody tell me something
That is comfortable and loving I am numb and I feel nothing

Savages

Savages

At war with every species, from dinosaur to seaweed
Peace love high-fives free wifi
At war with every species, Veni vidi vici

I was just standing in the aisle
Looking for something I could buy to make me smile

(There must be something there really must be something I can buy to make this feeling go away
There must be some way there really must be some way to get high and make this feeling go away

Somebody sell me something please somebody sell me something I am numb and I feel nothing from the junk my heart is pumping
Somebody tell me something please somebody tell me something
That is comfortable and loving I am numb and I feel nothing

I don't want another update, fuck's sake, drugs to go to sleep
Drugs to keep me up late
I don't want another update, fuck's sake, drugs to go to sleep
Drugs to keep me up late

There must be something there really must be something I can buy to make this feeling go away
There must be some way there really must be some way to get high and make this feeling go away

I don't understand. We were holding hands
And stretching in our yoga pants
Recycling our soda cans
Voting, giving hope a chance
