This is basically the Waitrose wankers thread, big up Aldi and Lidl I guess 
Seriously though, speaking of off brands, KFC around here is about as consistent as a troon's girldick in a male prison, while the clone of a clone of KFC not far from my parents' is way better.
I dunno what else to say other than that besides troonery and the inevitable shit that comes with it, being a brandbuggerer is possibly the stupidest fucking thing lol.

Gamers™ and their coomsoomerism, especially relaing to big corps, is one of the most impressive (and scary) things i've ever seen, this video encapsulates well vidya skin consoomers, not sure if it's been posted before

Am I a cow of sorts for spending £40 on this plushie (and wanting the other three CPUs)?

It barely looks like it isn't something that is made in home ec.

Oh.
(It's still cute though. Maybe marked up too high - doesn't help that being a Eurofag meant I had to pay about 2x the amount it costs in the US - but eh, still cute, very soft and also quite squishy.
And it's Neptune/Purple Heart. I couldn't say no.)
Shit, I'm a consoomer... Beh, rather that than a fucking Supreme brick or some shit.

I had one of those that was Lina Inverse a while back but it was like $10. £40 is a lot for a plush. You can get cuter ones off etsy for that price.

A figure isn't soft, nor squishy. Honestly find soft things comforting.

Why couldn't you make your own? It's mostly felt. I'm sure if you look on youtube you can find tutorials on making your own plush. You'd probably feel a lot better taking your time making something on your own than just slapping down your credit card for 40 pounds.
Also, props again to @NoReturn for making my skin crawl with videos. The mini pig vacuum especially made me laugh because if you need a tiny vacuum for your desk, it's fitting it's shaped like a pig.

Can't blame you, honestly. Everyone has their own sensory preferences.
Not that guy, but I don't mind paying for certain things instead of making them myself in a handful of circumstances. In the cases of plushies and art, for example, it brings me more happiness to exchange my time for someone else's skills.
E.g. I do not enjoy painting (I've tried), but I like looking at paintings and I like having art in my house. I'm happy to exchange my time (converted to cash) for someone else's skills if it's something I like in those circumstances. That said, I don't get that same happy feeling for things like stuff you'd buy on Amazon.
So like, if I were into Genshin Impact, I still wouldn't want to buy this:
Put I could see myself spending money on this:
Why yes, I do have more.

Yeah, I'm not exactly what you can call "naturally gifted" at anything artistic or technical (a lot of the weeb troons are far ahead of me there honestly and that's worrying).
That plushie I bought was from Idea Factory's own store, so it's official merch. I like the design and it's fairly nicely sized (20cm). I should probably look into buying some stuff from Etsy, though, particularly as I'd like some repro carts for my GBA, SNES and N64 and for some reason I don't particularly trust AliExpress when it comes to those. (Particularly SNES lol)
Also I totally understand that about having art and things around the place. A barebones room is just sooo boring to look at, and it's not like it's meant to impress men in suits so why not spruce it up?!

The really scary part about this "haul" trend is that they've got kids ranging from pre-teens all the way up to "barely legal" getting wrapped up in it too, and you end up with 12-13 year-old girls "modeling" bikini, swimming suit and lingerie "hauls" in 4k quality on Youtube. The optimist in me -- near-death as he is -- likes to believe most of them are just too young and naïve to realize just how much of their anatomy they're letting people see and don't know what pasties or camel toes are. And you just know they're attracting a less-than-desirable audience.
Of course, Youtube has no problem with that content and from what little I was willing to dig into it, I found no indication that those uploaders ever have any trouble with their videos being flagged, quarantined, demonetized or banned. Given how defensive silicon valley was about "Cuties" it shouldn't surprise me anymore that they're fine with this shit too.
On another note, there is nothing quite as depressing to me as seeing grown adults soy-facing over chinesium Disney merchandise.

It's hard to view beards as something nice, as every soyboi seems to have a beard. But not everyone that do have a beard is a soy

Here's hoping for a clean-shaven trend in the near future so I can start looking merely old and uncool rather than like a guy who might identify as a male feminist.It's hard to view beards as something nice, as every soyboi seems to have a beard. But not everyone that do have a beard is a soy

Beards look comfy. I wouldn't wanna maintain a thick one, so shaving it isIt's hard to view beards as something nice, as every soyboi seems to have a beard. But not everyone that do have a beard is a soy
Also, let grown adults soyface. It mainly gets irritating when they start shoving it into everyones' faces honestly.
