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

[Mr. Henry Krinkle]

The maximalism interior trend has made it so difficult to find interior design inspiration. Want something more than all white and beige everything? Every permutation seemingly brings you back to the boring interior save for maximalist which would be fine if it wasn’t overtaken by people posting their horribly designed, anxiety inducingly cluttered hoarder dens. No, just because you shoved 100 houseplants into your studio alongside half a dozen Goodwill figurines does not mean you’ve created an “eclectic curated space”. Maybe not quite consoomer but I find it goes hand in hand.

I do enjoy the sort of minimalism that has a strong "wooden cottage" aesthetic.

Maybe stuff like this is what you're looking for?

Maximalism is cool for about 6 seconds, and then I consider having to clean it all.

The usual suspects like Star Wars and Disney are there, but there's ones for shit that doesn't even make me think of food like Halo or Magic the Gathering or the Ticket to Ride boardgame? Are they going to teach me how to make hotpockets but with a funny name? Who would unironically use these?

The type of guy who would be interested in a Halo cookbook microwaves all of his food because his stove broke down years ago.

i think the link is simply in whatever the current mainstream political leaning is
as long as your stance is the one touted by corporations, or rather you chose the stance touted by corporations, whichever came first chicken or the egg, either way people like that tend to latch onto those who say what they wanna hear or inversely the ideology that is advertised to them
i don't believe it's unique to any particular ideology, it's just a symptom of being a default person whos' entire worldview is store bought

Eh i think theres something to be said about those who look to sources other than their family or local community for culture and how to live their lives.

Best advice given at those times was corporate loyalty is stupid and you should just get the console with the games you actually want to play.

Incidentally that's why the PSX won, it was a boring grey console from the company that made your dad's HiFi, but it got all the games because Sony bought/bribed every studio as it had infinite money ATT. Meanwhile SEGA and Nintendo fans who remained corpo-loyal got hosed and missed out on a lot of stuff.

Anyway, the console wars officially ended after the X360-PS3 era, after that every console became the same flavor of boring OTS parts in a box, even the switch.

So my mother wanted a cookbook for Christmas, so I stopped in a physical bookstore and stumbled across this collection of junk. Why are there so many of these "unofficial cookbooks" anyway? The usual suspects like Star Wars and Disney are there, but there's ones for shit that doesn't even make me think of food like Halo or Magic the Gathering or the Ticket to Ride boardgame? Are they going to teach me how to make hotpockets but with a funny name? Who would unironically use these?

There are videos on youtube reviewing these shitty cooking books, some with millions of views (fuck this planet...). As for who buys this crap my first guess is COOLECTORS, you know the kind of functional retards with a wallet that have to buy every single piece of crap merch from their favorite franchise. No matter how awful it is as long as it has the official logo they will buy it.

Didn't expect koreans to be so into anime crap given their history, I mean it would be like israelis buying nazi merch.

it was majority women (roughly 65/35)

35 would've been a little girl when sailor moon was a thing so I guess nostalgia like barbie fans, but 65? what? what were they even buying?

Wasn't Megan, Chris' friend, Jewish? And really into nazi memorabilia?

That aside, liking something aesthetic associated with a culture doesn't mean you need to like everything said culture has ever done in their history, that sort of thinking is retarded and childish

I find it deeply ironic that the japanese tried for decades to erase korean culture and force japanese culture instead as koreans resisted this, only for today's koreans to burn their money buying this overpriced plastic anime crap.

Then again there's plenty of jews buying porsches...

Korean's fascinations with anime, and Japanese's fascinations with K-Pop and K-Dramas, was one of the notable ways of clearing away the old grudges the two countries have with each other. And the older generation that were subject to Japanese tyranny have been dying of old age, so most Koreans that still whine about Japan's past tend to be ones that live in Western countries, and they only whine for clout. Also, IIRC, South Korea had a ban on Japanese products that lasted until around 2000, so one way around that ban was for Korean companies to sell re-badged versions of Japanese consoles:

Also, back in Hyundai's older days, they had a partnership with Mitsubishi, so their cars at the time, i.e. the Excel, were based on them. They were built at lower quality because Korean manufacturing standards were crap at the time, and they still haven't fixed the kinks completely yet today.

Thread tax, does using cheesy RGB lighting for shelves make a consoom collection more pathetic, or can it make it look better?

Yep, kia engines tend to grenade from time to time.

RGB has always been trashy so not an improvement.

Classic...

I remember the samsung saturn, don't know why they called the genesis a "gamboy" instead of just the "samsung megadrive" given the name was already popular in asia.

I saw this and my first thought was that it was a blacklight, and the disgust set it. But, maybe that is the point, it shows there is no 'use' on the figures.

It's complicated and to say it's only Western Koreans is oversimplifying the issue. It's true that they were smoothing things over (understandably, they have a shared enemy with North Korea) but then some loser in Japan decided to publish a book to rip open the scab because he couldn't stand seeing Korean things getting popular.

I guess there's some thought put into it but this specifically looks claustrophobic.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=RjOybKOm2TcI want to prematurely apologize to future generations for allowing this shit to happen.

Shouldn't you be, by now, be realizing the tech elites want this to happen? After all the coverage, after the instructional videos. They want children to see this. This incompetence argument is getting really old now. There is a two tier system, the media they want to be propagated, and the media they do not

This light choice is good if you don't want to actually see the plastic you spent thousands of dollars on.
