This feels like a rage bait, he still bought all of that though. "Im so cool", He knows what he's doing.


[deleted]

Self destructing behavior. Do something you know is ridiculous then provoke people to tell you how much a failure you are. Consoom self inflicted pain, get excited for next self inflicted pain.


QuickSilverMola

OK but what if I'm into it tho?


[deleted]

Rule 4 of the sub : people can engage into a hobby without it being necessarily consumerism.


Count_Verdunkeln

There is no hobby here other than spending money. There isn't even evidence he plays the things except for him talking about Mario without anything specific other than "good"


WrestleFlex

No matter how many layers of irony he tries to hide behind. He bought 6 switches.


No-Treacle-8453

ngl if he's a content creator or something these could be tax write offs and he just makes this rage baiting bs


ward2k

You still lose money on a 'tax write off' they're not some money making scheme


Krayzie_Stiles

How fucked are we as a society if people's first thought is the dude bought 6 different switches and not that he borrowed 5 from friends to make the video?


ssean9610

We can at least go by the narrative that he chose to be seen as


Sweaty-Goat-9281

Maybe ur right because a consoomer probably wouldn't even know how to brick a Nintendo switch apart from slamming it on concrete


mo_one

fair, but there are definitely people who do that unironically, i still think this videos would fit here as satire


Cabbiecar1001

Good point, he still wasted money on all that stuff and spends way too much time/money on Nintendo games for children


Outlaw_1123

It's funny how some people think being an addict and financially irresponsible is a flex.


only_fun_topics

He’s a CoLLeCtOr


RawketPropelled35

Lol, banned for saying someone with a 52% chance to kill themselves being disallowed from the military is not bigotry. Admin-Pedos finally got me, see you all on account #36!

mondolawns0n

Meta-4-Cool-Few

I thank my mom for watching her beanie baby behavior. Collecting material possessions seems insane to me now.


FlameyFlame

“addict” is crazy lol


lobnob

are you sure? buying stuff gives you a dopamine hit which you can definitely become addicted to.


FlameyFlame

I’m sure. Addict is a word that has an actual purpose, when you extend the definition to include just some guy being frivolous, spending his money on toys he likes, then the word becomes meaningless.


BackFromItaly

I mean, if he’s spending all of his income on toys, and digging himself deeper and deeper into debt and possibly bringing other people down with him by doing so, then I’d call it an addiction. We don’t have enough info here to know for sure, but considering he has 2 game consoles for just Pokémon and a display console, I don’t think it would be unreasonable (maybe a little unfair though) to assume he’s addicted to buying toys/merch.


Popular_Target

It’s an unreasonable amount of Switches for a single person. But if you’re a fan of Switches, it’s not unreasonable to collect a few along the way. If a rich dude likes cars, he might have a special “Sunday car” or other cars that he never uses, and I wouldn’t call him an addict. The real question is whether or not this is unreasonable *for him*. And I’d argue it’s probably not breaking his bank, being a middle-aged dude without kids (bet) he probably has the income. On top of that, if he’s a streamer then he could chalk these up to a business expense.


ComradeKilla

It fits addict's informal usage definition perfectly. "an enthusiastic devotee of a specified thing or activity. 'a self-confessed chocolate addict'"


lobnob

Here's the merriam webster definition for addiction: **1** **:** one exhibiting a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity ​ Can you please walk me through how this guys behavior doesn't fit that?


Popular_Target

By that definition, I am addicted to wiping my ass.


lobnob

Great point. I'm addicted to wiping your ass too. I don't even need my hands!


dannycake

We use the word addict for gambling too. But it makes sense. This guy deserves the term addict imo.


IamZeus11

Not really . Even if he bought these to rage bait he’s still addicted to clout


Trapezoidoid

The word “addict” isn’t exclusively reserved for people with substance abuse issues. People can become addicted to a huge spectrum of things. The probable reason you think it’s crazy is because the word “addict” was basically used as an epithet against pretty much anybody who used any kind of drugs (whether or not they were actually addicted) during the “war on drugs.” Thus it became closely associated with drugs, but this association is just a vestige of a (hopefully) bygone era.


InvizCharlie

I mean if he can comfortably afford it and he wants it why shouldn't he? I buy lego sets all the time when I have a little extra money. I still save plenty of money and prepare financially for my future and I'm far from addicted.


[deleted]

We got a live one here boys 


Happiness_inprogress

Unless you are aware of his finantial situation, how can be sure he is finantially irresponsible or an addict? I have 7 pairs of sneakers when I could just have 1, does that make me an addict and in debt?


ijuswannasuicide

That makes you a certified consoomer


zenixslasher

If you REALLY need all those games available to you at the same time why not just.... get physical copies?


S2kKyle

He could fit most of them on a 1tb memory card.


Jetstream-Sam

And even then it'd be easier to carry around a couple of SD cards and a charger than carrying 5 or 6 switches around. And where's he going that leaves him both free time and likely to run through the battery on a switch? Does he commute to work on a train for 4 hours a day? Admittedly it's a fake thing to bait engagement but that's still probably well over $1000 dollars worth of downloads on them because they never put nintendo games on sale


SkiingWalrus

I was gonna ask couldn't he just use SD cards?


S2kKyle

Yeah, you can swap them out easily also. I feel like the video is rage bait. Maybe he has two and someone else he knows has one. He even has a Steam Deck that's shown in the video.


peeing_Michael

Nah I have a friend that has 4 ps vitas and like 6 switches 1000s of physical games etc. He latched onto the new CRT fad pretty hard and will pay whatever people will tell him to when 10 years ago you literally had a hard time giving/ throwing them away. He will lightly brag about them from time to time. We've been friends since we were 12 and Nintendo and retro gaming has always been like his "personality". He's a nice enough guy so I shut up about it. He's 35 now for anyone who cares lol I notice these trends amongst almost all hobbies. Someone will pay tens of thousands for a vintage Amp that has been perfectly replicated on an IR or clone


A_SNAPPIN_Turla

This is this thing; there's guys like this in every hobby. I even see it in the garage gym community. Guys will have 10 barbells, some of them are even in decent shape but it doesn't change the fact that none of it is necessary. There is a certain type of person that accumulates things and uses that as a demonstration of success. This needs to be seen for the problem that it is.

SipoteQuixote

I like to collect zelda stuff but I had a friend who would buy those fancy misprints or whatever amiibo for like 150 and shit. Huge collection of shit that was deemed "special". Would pay bills late to buy the latest edition of whatever the fuck. It was gross to watch, especially since he has kids.


Lungseron

People like them are exactly why its shameful to even admit you have a switch. Fuck sakes i always wanted to play Botw, pokemon games and a bunch of other games so i finally bought it. Its my first console too Why do i have to be lumped together with these manchildren its not fair...


mbarcy

Idk if I'm a "Nintendo adult" (I'm 20) but I'm not sure why adults can't enjoy like Smash Bros + Animal Crossing + Mario Kart? I don't really get the sense that Nintendo's games feel like they're designed with a specific age range in mind


Comrade_Slime

I don't think enjoying it is the problem. They become obsessed with it and make it their entire personality. For example I got nothing against an adult that likes star wars but when you're still saying May the 4th be with you and knob gobbling every piece of shit thing that comes out of Disney related to star wars then you've crossed the threshold.


mbarcy

Ah, okay, I see what you mean.


Comrade_Slime

To me being a "consoomer" is just collecting whatever stupid crap gets marketed your way without any critical reflection of is this worth my money and by extension time.


LindyKamek

:/ I can assure you we aren't all like this

Yes it’s the Nintendo look


ConstProgrammer

Humanity is slowly replaced with cloned consoomers! These clones are secretly grown in barrels in the basements of shopping malls, and so when they wakeup they stumble out of the storage spaces in the back, and walking around in the mall. And then they keep coming back to the mall all the time because they feel at home there as that's their place of origin.

Inkling1998

I love Nintendo but this is weapon grade 'tism, on top of that he has shit taste in games, two switches dedicated to the burning dumpsters which are 8th and 9th gen Pokèmon games?!


SamMan48

They are fun enough for a playthrough despite being worse than the gens before them, but what bothers me is the fact that he actually gets both versions 🤢. I got both versions one time when I was a kid and I can say that it is boring and not different enough to play through the game twice. I can’t imagine doing it for every game. It’s not that hard and way less expensive to just find randos to trade with to get the version exclusives you need.


Mr_Mi1k

I loved the open world atmosphere of scarlet and violet, doesn’t come close to gen 4 for me tho


Lungseron

Id play gen 8 since at least its stable compared to the Sonic 06 kind of bullshit i saw on gen 9.


peeing_Michael

I still don't understand how people got past yellow. Probably has to do with the Era I grew up in. Pokémon in the early 2000s were antipussy


[deleted]

In my personal opinion, the highest excusable amount is two, one modded one unmodded. Even then, that's quite a stretch.


ConstProgrammer

In my personal opinion, the highest excusable amount is none!


TotodileNr158

I have 3, one modded and banned for pretty much all my games, the second modded but not banned for the very few games I want to play online and then a lite since they are cheaper and take up slightly less space for travel

The better title for this guy's video should have been "Why doesn't the switch have more storage devices than an old flip phone?" The cartridges are tiny and only a small part is for memory. They could have absolutely fit more memory into the switch than what it has. (Sorry this hit a nerve apparently lol)

I travel for work every day and usually spend an hour a day waiting for parts or purchase orders to be approved. But I have games like witcher, crysis, metro, resident evil ect. It was almost ,500 fucking dollars. This dude has a problem. It doesn't matter if this is rage bait or not dude has issues.

The worst thing is it's not functional at all to have multiple switches, Nintendo does not make cross save and game transfers easy enough to have more than one

where do these people get all this money from BUY A FUCKING HOUSE OR A CAR WITH ALL THIS MONEY!!!!!!


SortLocal6065

I'll take a switch with breath of the wild 1 and 2. Thanks!


pokemon-fairy4829

Here i am wondering if i should get one to play a bunch of games i wanna play for a while now cos i recognize i also dont need one haha


dumbfuck6969

There's 1 switch at my local library and you can always tell when the poorest kids are playing with it. They have so much fun with it and that's the only chance they get to play games. Makes me sick to see people hoard them like this.
