Kinda in the middle
On one hand, it's cool that gaming has cool collectables, and I wish I had the money and accessibility that I do now as a kid to fully enjoy it all
On the other, gaming becoming "mainstream" has permanently ruined it, and the people who enjoyed games when they were made by passionate nerds now have to resort to paying the ransom priced retro game market, adapt to every modern trend, or abandon a industry altogether that is now made from bloodless corpos, stupid hack zoomers looking for easy money, and pajeets.
It sucks so much, and only a few anons left here have enough firing neurons to realize it.

I collect merch from game franchises.
I don't generally care what guys think about it because I don't socialize. Any woman that comes here is someone I'm currently playing in the bedroom with and most of the times they're geeks too so they think my stuff is cool.
I don't let a lot of people see my stuff becasue I'm worried they may get ideas to steal my stuff so I put a good majority of my stuff in my walk in closet.

Since video gaming is already a hobby, if you have the means like time and resources to pick up another hobby while gaming and still being a productive citizen then by all means go for it.

Life is short so just enjoy the things you like to do while you still can, I digress, just to be on topic, I recently completed all the playable characters of FFVII in 1/12'ish scale poseable figure format which was a dream of mine ever since I played the original game, so my inner child is happy to have them

Lol no you wouldn't.
When I was in college I brought a chick to my bedroom (Shared a apartment with 3 other guys who were also college students) she saw my video game pin up posters, little figures I got from my Japan trip, wall scroll of Cloud, etc.
She said "This is your room?" and I was like "yep". We fucked around for months until she found someone to be in a relationship with.
There were times the women at my college had no idea I was in game design because I didn't LOOK like i was. That's the difference. I wasn't wearing cringe stuff. That's why people were surprised when they found out I was a geek with hobbies because I don't broadcast it outloud obnoxiously around others like a walking advertisement.
Even now my home has geeky stuff. So what?

Those are protective plastics to prevent a figure from scratches, color rub, etc. New figures have these and those plastics helps to avoid those said problems during shipping while the figure is still inside its box.

I did this quick pic after receiving the last figure(Cait Sith) and unboxed all of them to see how they all together, you can see I removed all from Sephiroth and Barret but since its so many and I will put them back in their box anyways as I still don't know on where to display them, I opted to postpone on removing the protective plastics till I am ready to display them

No one is coming here to "kick my ass" because I have figures of anime chicks when I'm 40.
I have no problem taking something from another collection of mine and showing them first hand I will not tolerate that black culture shit.

I don't really understand why there are no plastic/resin/metal miniatures and figurines of vidya characters to assemble and paint yourself. Outside of 3D printing services, that of course have limited selection, if any. I would gladly paint Samus or Cammy and place on shelf but buying already completed package makes no sense for me.

Even worse - he and his friends are perfectly valid with beating somebody up for having different interest. You or anyone else having this or another item on their shelf have no impact outside said person home and yet they feel so threatened that they are willing to resort to violence.

I never said I was fine with it or that I would partake in it. I was just saying that it would have probably happened. At the very least, you would have been mercilessly mocked by my old friends and everyone would think you were a strange faggot or a pedophile. Collecting hundreds of anime dolls would have been considered bizarre and faggy.

Wigger, I can't stress this enough. I'd kill your friends without hesitation.
You're a wigger and traitors like you are the reason this country has gone to shit. You worship that black shit.
The fact you haven't told me I was wrong you know damn well I instantly knew they were blacks. Because that's black weirdo shit.

>Also get a frame for your bird poster you're not 12.
Mentally you have to be to put anime girls on your walls.

You can mock him all you want but not having a frame for your posters is just what kids had to do because they didn't have their own money.

You seem rather obsessed with what other people like. Projection?

Why the blue eyed, long twin braided blonde haired, fit gymnast body, slightly autistic assassin in a leotard character? I don't know, she just kinda clicked.

That sensible, while I was still in school I'd save up and buy maybe 2 or 3 figs a year. Now I get whatever I want but definitely have slowed down to only Cammy or Jinx because I can fix her.

This guy’s dad wrote Grease or something. He got “famous” for having a bunch of Sayaka Maizono paper cut outs, but he didn’t even play the game. He has nothing but time all day every day and he didn’t even play the fucking game of his so called “waifu.” Just drops his dad’s money to get clout from weebs

His self-proclaimed goal was to go viral online. Type of shit genuinely gets on my nerves

I'm most likely stupid, but I also don't go into something for the money, I go with what makes most sense to me. I'd rather be honest with myself than just make all the right moves in order to be a dutiful consoomer. I might not ever be able to afford my dream DDR custom home cabinet, but I have everything that I need and didn't know I wanted in my life, and that's good enough for me.

Buying things you want isn't pissing it away.
Pissing away would be things in hopes of impressing others.
The whole point of having your own money is to have the freedom to do what you want with it.
I'm assuming you're pro communism or something? Buying the bare essentials and that's it?

I am a poorfag, I'm on disability and get food stamps.
I still try and afford my collecting and gaming hobbies. I do side stuff, I have apps that pay me in gift cards, I've made stuff and sold things on Etsy, I've resold things on ebay.
There's plenty of ways to have balance in personal responsibilities and allowing yourself to indulge in your hobbies.
I have no debt, I live on my own and I don't have a car to worry about.

True, but feeling the need to want so much says something as well.
>I'm assuming you're pro communism or something?
I'm not even sure if it's possible by nature, but if I were to play god, I think a fair balance between socialism, capitalism (but not this pro-1% post-reagan era shit), and libertarianism would be optimal
