It's not meant to be entertaining, she doesn't even look happy, this is just venting. Look I like watching TV, watched plenty of star trek growing up, like anime, but I also have friends I do things with. This is the definition of touch grass.

So we can laugh at consoomer gender blobs for lolz. Its like a human zoo of cows and we are the audience. Fr tho, its a showcase for just how low humanity can go. If I was an alien race I would use it a case study to avoid humans at all costs.

Not just that, but why does it need to be in video format? 90% of tiktoks I've seen would be better suited as a still image or even a text post.
 
I guess this is at least adjacent to the topic, as they wouldn't produce this much stuff if it didn't sell. Can you live entirely off of Evangelion merch? Turns out you pretty much can!

I heard people mention they never had even 10 likes on instagram but on tik tok they suddenly get thousands of hits but then diminishes after a little while so its like a gacha game or a mmo, they rope you in until you need to grind for scraps.

Theres's also the subversive element behind all of it.

Chinese tik tok be like : super iq genius child prodigy does virtuous thing, very patriotic!

Western tik tok be like : mental illness, vice, perversion.

They know what they are doing.

Chinese Tiktok even time limits based on age how long children can use the app. It's actually pretty wholesome from what I've read.

Meanwhile the rest of the world gets the coke line off a stripper's ass and shoot up a gas station version.

I wonder who will take up the mantle when Tiktok gets banned tho. The return of Vine? The youtubes doesn't cut it for video marketing to zoomers like it used to.
 
Here comes Jirard, aka The Completionist buying every single title on the Wii U and 3DS EShops before they get shuttered, even though pretty much everything has been preserved by now and can be gotten for free through any ol' piracy site.

Oh and the comments are treating it like a big deal besides the odd few that can see that he's just being a consoomer over a close date.

Zoomers treat social media as a replacement for actual conversation. Go to any place zoomers inhabit and a majority of them will be online.

"For preservation" he says..
The games have already been preserved and distributed everywhere online. There was no point to this other than data hoarding.
I did find it funny listening to the recommendations near the end from "nerds" who are pretending they totally can't pirate any of these.

Buying all that shit on the Wii U for preservation seems like it might be a bad idea. The Nintendo discussion thread has talked about how the Wii U seems to have a short life span especially if you haven't played it in a while.

So, I guess no retro scene for Wii U then. Apparently not using the system kills it. One would think a console would die of overuse, not the opposite. Hopefully hackers fix the issue, otherwise Wii U is probably dead.

Taking bets now, which is going to be the last retro console with longevity: Wii or 3DS? In saying this, it is a little sad that the seventh gen and further is seemingly going to be inaccessible as the hardware was designed with too much happening to last.

It is something about the system needing to update profiles otherwise a memory issue occurs like @whatever I feel like said. I think it has the same sort of issue as something like the PS3 clock if I recall. Too many parts and data to keep track of, so the system ends up shitting itself eventually. It is why I proposed the question of Wii or 3DS as they seem to lack all the extra shit that gets corrupted and goes bad after years.

Here is an article on it.

I'm guessing it's the same sadsacks that find parasocial relationships to celebrities (or more likely, their characters) and were the type of people to become the "Wack Pack" on Howard Stern and other shows when terrestrial radio was popular.

Japan is so blunt on consumerism in anime that it happens to unlikely shows and in contexts where it is a little shocking and doesn't make sense. For instance, there are some vending machines that have a collabed advertisement with Attack On Titan. I have to say its a little off putting seeing a man eating Titan advertise their vending machines.

Also on the topic of living off of Eva merchandise this product just floors me

Evangelion characters have the same second life as jack skelington ot joy division shirts, a pure pop culture existence taken out of its original context. Eva is like the most popular anime that no one has watched.

The dumbbell anime, similar to Eva, became a pachinko game of all things (EPILEPSY WARNING)
