UPDATE: apperently the $150 lego "queer eye" set's price got changed to $100. I still don't see the value.
 
WE have reached peak consumer.

Holy fuck lmao, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Lego backpedal on a price tag like that, THAT drastically. They knew it was a fucking rip-off.

Even at $100, it still doesn’t change the fact that the design and build is objectively worse than the previous “apartments from X show” sets with the sole exception of the Big Bang Theory one, which gets a pass for being (I think) the first one.

Lol, imagine giving a shit about what a soulless corporation deems to be canon. If you like something, why should you let Disney tell you how you should enjoy it? People used to be content to write fanfiction and have headcanons, but it seems like these consoomer fuckheads can’t be happy unless their beliefs are affirmed and validated by the corporate bureaucracy.

Why not just go all the way and say "I just can't enjoy The Empire Strikes Back knowing that Disney's stock price is down this month"?

That seems to be the inevitable logical conclusion of their creepy relationship with giant media conglomerates.
 
I just remember when I was little I enjoyed just building with LEGO blocks instead of using the sets I got for Xmas etc for their intended uses. But even a bucket of random LEGOs is like $50 *cries*

(I know these shitty TV sets aren't aimed at physical children)

Oh yes. People on retro gaming boards are even spending thousands on crt sets so their games can look as shitty as possible. All for the *purest* retro experience.

Nah, there's purpose to that. Timing-intensive games were designed to be played on CRTs, so you really need them for rhythm games like DDR and Beatmania. Fighting game players use them for their frame-perfect inputs, and even games like Mega Man heavily benefit with how tricky some of the jumps can be. Then you've got light gun games, which flat-out don't work on HDTVs at all, and there's never been a good replacement. Even lightguns designed for modern MAME cabinets use a lame Wii remote knockoff that isn't the same at all. It doesn't feel at all like a lightgun, it feels like a mouse.

Yeah refresh rate is kind of a cunt like that.
 
Enjoy some compilation videos. If anything stands out as exceptionally mental, I'll hunt more.
The "Must have" ones drive me nuts. It's really just the home shopping network for zoomers.

Still seems very nitpicky and specific. I think is cool if you still own your old crt or found one in a flea market, same as with the games themselves, but watching crt threads its crazy how it becomes way more autistic than that.
 
Looking at these posts with rooms chock full of worthless plastic that are "owned" by these "collectors" is that all of them seem to be in the far right end of consoomerism. I say this because a normal collector would be fine with not owning that particular item for a while, since they can always look for it later. As opposed to every example in the thread were they NEED that pikachu funko, that rare pull on the typical gatcha game, that pink Sailor Moon figurine RIGHT NOW, FUCKING YESTERDAY.

Worse than CRT'S are these abominations.

These are professional CRT'S. These seem to be the bread and butter of autistic retro videogame collectors. It's not just about getting the thing and be done with it. No. They need the CLEAREST picture to play their dying old snes. It's ridiculous.

I think there are like a couple brands in Asia still fabricating crts and they cost like 500$ minus shipping, don-t know the specifics, just seen that mention and boy, just look at that 678$ shipping rate lol. So crazy to think that barely a few years ago retro gaming was super chill, cozy and humble compared to everything else in gaming. A whole set up with console, a bunch of games and crt was stuff you could get for a few bucks and potentially for free at some goodwill.

At least those monitors will be used in some way, you can't say the same thing for all those consooomers that fill an entire room with funko pop and marvel figures to collect dust.

Dear Faggot.

Iron fist was the best of the Netflix Shows (outside of Daredevil Season 1 but Daredevil became a fucking shit show halfway through season 2) purely because it was only boring and tepid instead of boring and awful, but cutting it out of the MCU would be worth it to see The Dyke Lawyer from Jessica Jones out of the MCU because that Cunt was more Evil than Thanos.
 
Given how the said company for this game, Blizzard Entertainment, is in a lot of hot water right now, I'm not sure if it's the right time for someone to be showing off how much of a consoomer they are for this game:

I'm not sure what's the most pathetic part about this, either the Horde-shaped light, or the server blade that is next to it, which are the hardware that the WoW servers used to be run on. Also, that cube picture in the back reminds me of the symbol for the infamous Korean Pay-To-Win game company, Nexon.
