Pic dump from the latest Razer store openings
Over the last 48 hours, people lining up for some of the most overpriced and poorly made products.

Of course there was a line for the latest tech

And what line wouldn't be complete without some asshole bringing their dog?

In the store we got a fun wheel to entertain the masses..

And some very clean looking internet celebrity you might recognize.

The token pink area for the females and gays

And for the degenerates who want to REALLY rep the brand, some plushies that quickly sold out.

I'm feeling a seizure coming just looking at this.

The fact that this is on TikTok and it’s also an “aesthetic“ is proof that they’re on recording socially conditioning people to live in the bugpeople mindstate.

Living in big cities in Chicago, Manhattan and Los Angeles is filled with these kind of people and you wonder how they’re able to get through the day without once not getting robbed or swindled.
 
As a way to make money on the side I used to buy these bulk lots of anime figures like banpresto or the sega prize figures and have them imported from Japan. I would turn around and sell them on ebay and it always astonished me how people are willing to pay so much for cheap quality plastic crap. It seemed like the people didn’t care so long as the figure was of a character from a popular series. IIRC there’s even a site where you can tell other people what anime figures you own, which is something I’ve always found ridiculous.

People actually like razer enough to wait for the opening for a store?

I'd be surprised if every last person there wasn't either paid to show up, or just bored and looking for something to do. If one opened within a mile of me, I'd probably go there on opening day just to get a free shirt or something. Maybe also try to find the most ridiculous thing they sell and post a picture of it here.

Outside of that toaster, you'd probably be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

There's kids in the comments of those day in the life of videos convinced anyone actually lives like that. Maybe it's because I grew up with 2008 Youtube, but I'm hopeful they will become grumpy jaded adults just like me. Until then, off my lawn you little faggots.

I was wondering about that, too. They're visibly wealthy and kidnap-able.
Also, on those cities:

Most of these people probably don't live like that on a daily basis. Remember that Chinese woman that turned out to basically be a piss jugs neet? Hopefully most influencers aren't like that, but I have doubts they are pristine little divas. Even Marilyn Monroe turned out to be a massive slob that slept with a dinner plate in the nude. Robert Pattinson used to have the hygiene of a shitposter until very recently.

As for the robbery, the wealthier ones likely have security. One thing to remember about social media influencers is that they are just reality TV stars for a younger audience.

I've got this theory that celebrities are all actors. Like, very few of them actually own anything we see them with. They're hired and have their careers simply in no small part to distract the masses from those who hold the true power and money behind the scenes. Kind of like politicians.

Razer stuff looks good, but like you said, it's overpriced as hell. Apart from that, that token pink area tells me that ~le quirky uwu gamer gurls~ are a market now.

Edit: I mean, it's either that, or all that pink crap gets bought up by MtF troons who see themselves as dainty e-girls.

They've been a market for a while now. Specifically in white and baby pink, bonus if you add cat ears. Sometimes they get into rose gold, but that's just pink with extra steps. I see them a lot with influencer girls who are trying to tap into the Gamer Bathwater mouthbreather market without the extra step of actually making porn.

I actually haven't seen many MTFs with them except for the cat ears headset.

Reminds me of the “entrepreneur” bros who go everywhere dressed in a suit and tie, when anyone actually worth their salt is probably wearing jeans and a hoodie because they’re thinking about their next big pitch, not what they’re wearing.

I have come to hate these pukes with a passion. Bitch, if you waste your time prattling about motivation, entrepreneurship and muh daily grind on Tiktok instead of dedicating your time to, I don't know, whatever business you run, then your business model is obviously pretending to be a successful businessman on Tiktok hoping that maybe you can sell some scams motivational classes later in life. You are contributing jack shit to the economy. The only phony eNtRePreNeUrs surpassing this bullshit are the ones who found a hip start-up with their business model consisting of getting fat on government subsidies, but this is more common in my country.

Selling the idea of success is a lot more profitable economically currently than starting a real business is.

A very interesting video on the boom of gurus online.

A lot of it is pretty much the Law of Attraction "The Secret" repackaged once you start paying attention to what they're saying.

Sorry that I didn't reply yesterday already. At the end of the day, this is the same business model used by pickup artists, just replace "romantic/sexual success" with "financial success".

It costs about $45,000+ and six months of replacement income to climb Mount Everest. Two weeks just to acclimate to the elevation. And if you die, they will just use your frozen body as an elevation marker.

It's kind of like the "tourists" vs. "authentic tourist" thing. Like, who the fuck they think is working the souvenir stands and working at the food places?
Oh you'd rather live "among them" in their homes? Fucking weirdo. You wouldn't put up with that in your own home would you?
Just buy the trinket so the lady's kids can go to school, goddamn.

Bruh I've worked at a tourist trap before. I vastly prefer dealing with the more starry-eyed type of tourist than the more obnoxious savvy type. At least the naive type get back on the damn bus at the end of the day. The "authentic" type shit up the local bars all night and God forbid one of them recognizes you from earlier in the day and decides to interact.

Watching some of those actual rich kids trying to flex i can't help but laugh. Sure, they have the money, but, it brought them what? Really ugly plastic houses, blandly decorated and furnished...in areas devoid of history or character... too many cars to drive them all, but a the end of the day a car is just a smelly carcass of plastic and metal that drives you around, you don't need five of them. .. The ugliest pieces of art i have ever seen... The same movie-room they all have, the same ugly-ass Vuitton as a stand-in for European sophistication... the guy showing his tacky-as-hell pseudo-greek pool area ... embarrassing.

I don't envy them.
