i always wondered what makes a person buy so much trash, little figurines statues and action figures, all these fucking worthless dvds all set up on a shelf with totally epic little led lights, bet he covers his walls with shitty posters as well, living surrounded by copyrighted plastic trash. guaranteed his pathetic consumption habits are reflected in his mind, all worthless plastic garbage. what a sad excuse for a man.

These goyim are great.

he looks like the kinda guy to post cuck memes on tv

Imagine this man that OP has described, but all his figures are hentai statues, and his dvdvs are porn, and his walls are lined with greg lansky photos. Which one is worse?

...

Still this guy.

was meant as a reply for

I visited a store that I used to frequent as a child lately that sell a comic books and figurines and those things aren't cheap, they had a metal batmobile that was about the size of a RC car that was over $2000. It amazes me that people actually buy that shit.

The place was filled with clueless nerds throwing their money away too, they all seemed to be in their late 20s to early 30s. It was a depressing place tbh, it's a testament to the mental illness that the west is suffering through imo. Fully grown men spending thousands on toys and figurines…SAD!

Damn, that comic is something.

He has almost 1 million youtube subscribers.

They belong to his wife.

Though his wife is a dyed hair that looks like she's 2 seconds away from cheating on him when she realizes she settled for a beta nerd and not a chad. No kids of course so his Youtube career is probably keeping the marriage together.

what a pathetic piece of beta shit


That's supposed to be impressive somehow? There are minecraft channels with 5 million subs.

He's one of the biggest movie reviewers. Mineycrafta is not movies.

RLM only has about 500k and that's a team of people.

Err, no he's not, he's a nobody. You want a list of movie review channels with way over a million, 2 million, 3 million subs? All aplenty.
What difference does it makes for your point that "muh million subs"? This isn't 2012, a million subs is nothing.
Er, RLM is a small niche channel with rape jokes and hour long old trash movie reviews, making fun of conventional normie reviewers like Cuckman. What's your fucking point again?

Cuckman, is that you? Kill yourself, you're a laughing stock of a betacuck.

Sigh, you'll never get it will you. You are so trapped in the disney machine where #s give you some kind of authority, when all it really represents is complete and total mediocrity.

I don't get it

Once again, are we supposed to be impressed? Movie critics are less esteem worthy than the porn actors who portray cuckolds. They are worse than mosquitoes, they are quite literally the bottom of the bottom of the barrel when it comes to humans that should be saved in case of a fire. No one in beneath a movie "critic" you just can't be worse than them, even if you're a mongoloid with AIDs you still can look down on them.

The bus represents extinction.

Video game "critics" are definitely lower than film critics. What they analyse doesn't even have the potential for art and all of them, all of the time, are mere marketers of toys.

Anyone who does critique not as a way of enhancing their own art is a waste of air they breathe. It wouldn't be almost as bad if they didn't have a tendency of grating pseudo-intellectualism to justify their meaningless existence.

How¿

What's that even from, Signs?

I won't lie to you guys, I have tons of shelves of assorted crap, but I got it all pretty cheap. Not a fan of figurines, the cat always knocks them over.

So the half-human half-gorilla guy will survive while fat bald men go extinct?

Did Mike Cernovich (lawyer and author of Gorilla Mindset™) draw it?

I went through a period of consumerism. It was entirely that I felt empty inside and the thrill of getting a new thing to add to my collection temporarily made me feel accomplished.

Time well spent, OP.

There's nothing wrong with having figurines if they're your waifu.

Hi, Roger.

Yes, it fits into the cuckold niche quite nicely. I like the parts where they take the BBC up their ass.

World war 3 will be fought with nuclear weapons.
World war 4 will be fought with sticks and stones.

I don't get it, what's wrong with living like that?

yes. this dumbfuck got a tattoo of grass. from the movie Signs. it's not the worst tattoo I've ever seen, but it is still pretty fucking stupid

how did you break the habit user?

Typical.

It wasn't bringing me joy anymore, so I just stopped.

It's so that you can resell them for a higher price in the future, or at least, that's how I see it.

Probably an environmentalist message about the dangers of industrialization.

Any man who requires his fellow men to adhere to his own personal standards is nothing more than an insecure little bitch no different from the environmentalist pansies that insist we all drive Priuses, take the bus or ride a bike everywhere we go. The SJeWs already tried that shit.

Let me guess, you hate Anime too?

If I was caught owning some Sailor Moon dolls, I'd use that excuse too.

It's not a meme. Every hour that you waste on these child like hobbies could be spent bettering yourself physically or mentally. There is no excuse for sinking thousands of hours into that trash.

That being said you are free to sink your time into these things. Just don't pretend that it isn't childish.

There is no reason why you can't exercise, read, and learn useful new skills and still watch movies and play videogames and do other 'time-wasting' things. It's just about finding a balance.

You could probably call sports fanatics manchildren for the time they invest into that if you wanted to but chances are they have productive and happy lives outside of that. It only becomes a problem when your only personality is 'being a nerd' and you spend all your income on useless junk that just takes up space.

I'm 22, and I already regret spending even a second on any of that. Now I read Marcus Aurelius and fuck thots on the regular.

It just seems wasteful to me. I agree that it's not a major issue if you are already fit and educated, but you can always be fitter and more educated than you are right now. The main issue for me is that it's a time sink with zero actual gain at the end of it.

It's more acceptable for a child (it should still be discouraged though).

On a long enough timeline, everything is a time sink.

currently, i don't think vidya / film / criticism is a meaningful distinction if you're trying to establish who sucks more dick. The media form doesn't matter. All critics are douches and perpetually bitter that they put more effort into having 'good taste' than developing any creativity of their own. They simultaneously envy and loathe creative people, because so many creative people are kind of socially-awkward dorks with ideosyncratic ("bad") taste - even in their own field. Some critics have a political agenda, but most of them are just secretly mad at God because they feel entitled to talent since they clearly have such good taste.

The thing is, critics who work in print strictly (written blogs, magazines, and newspaper) are shit, but at least they have some semblence of keeping their dignity. It's amateur, video-based "critics" who leverage social media who are truly the lowest of the low. Not only are they uncreative douches, but they've chosen to subject themselves to the public gaze as e-celeb whores.

...

Am I in the wrong place?

That's a really good point actually, those ones don't even need to know how to write.

No, you're home, my son.

fuck my sides that was a good laugh

I was really hoping you'd have a new argument I hadn't heard before, but it's nothing but the same repertoire I've heard hundreds of times before.

Better myself physically? I'm about as /fit/ as they come, already learned street fighting and go to the gym 2 - 4 times a week, plan to go on my first proper footrace sometime this summer. I don't see any point in progressing beyond this stage unless I'm going to become a bodybuilder or professional athlete.

Mentally? I could rattle off hundreds of anecdotes about how games keep your brain in check especially during the formative years and old age, in addition to real-life skills and techniques people have learnt merely from playing, but you'd dismiss those as either outliers or not fitting your own personal mold.

Have fun? Nah, you already dismissed that with your video game statement. To you, jumping out of a plane or going on a rollercoaster is no different as it contributes nothing to your life ultimately other than a couple minutes of cheap thrills caused by the rapid increase of endorphines in your central nervous system. You learn nothing other than the effects of gravity at rates that would normally be considered fatal if you weren't strapped in to a seatbelt or parachute.

Better myself financially? Isn't that just materialism at its core? Besides, what could you do with money other than to use it to increase yours or someone else's overall wealth? Even if you gave it all to charity you'd still be unnaturally benefitting someone out there.

Better myself spiritually? Now we're talking, but unless you share a belief that encourages intense spirituality such as Buddhism, at the end of the day you're doing nothing more than fulfilling your hedonistic desires. Do you really think your God get fucked fedoras would love you more than He already does if you stood at an empty bay during the twilight hours and stared contemplatingly towards the sun? Fuck no. You're just standing there admiring a view while getting trapped up in your own thoughts like an idiot.

The way I see it, you're a nihilist that let Holla Forums get into your head more than anyone should, and you're feeling unnecessarily insecure about your past. Let your grievances go. Your ancestors may not have driven automobiles, drunk excessive amounts of caffeine or lived in a city, but that doesn't mean they didn't have their own ways to defy the lifestyle of their elders either.
