Omega Emote is Tasteless

You mean the same thing they've done with every single one of the $200 statues?
You mean the same thing they've done with the soundtracks (a song nobody else can have, that they can walk into a FC, put on the playlist, and show off)?

It's not the same thing. The other statues have emotes that are not persistent. You can't idle as them. This time it's a big stinking status symbol that you can idle in.

I hope you don't like minions then. Because those are also persistent.


Also, really? Status symbol? I don't think I've ever thought of an emote as a status symbol....


You have some wonky priorities.

How do you even go outside lol?

Look! A nice car! They have more expendable income than me, how dare they!

Someone coming out of a fancy restaurant! Don't they realize how I'll feel seeing they ate nice food?! They're wicked!

Oh my God the inhumanity! They're wearing brand name clothing! This is truly unacceptable!

So you're okay with an exclusive emote tied to a 200 dollar statue.

But only if that emote isn't persistent?

That just seems like a weird place to draw the line for me.

Showing everyone you paid $200 USD for a statue with no worth in-game and an emote that you can idle with? That's a status symbol? You've got weird priorities, mate. If I saw someone with it I'd just say "oof" and keep walking. I spent that much on a custom controller, and someone spent that same amount for an emote? I'm not jealous of that at all, lmao.

To be fair, I'd think spending that much on a controller is a waste. But to each their own.

I spent several hundred on flight sticks and such for games I play rarely. Was still worth it in my mind.

It's a PS4 controller with a different shape from the stock DS4, as well as paddles on the back, all of which I prefer because it's easier on my hands as I have joint problems. Plus, I bought a new first-party PS4 controller in 2019 and it came defective, but it was minor so I went to fix it myself, and it all but fell apart in my hands. I was tired of spending ~$70 on cheaply made controllers that break so quickly, so I invested in a quality controller that will last, which it has.

It's not just a fancy design on an otherwise standard controller, so it's kind of different from what I assume you think it is. It's for accessibility, not flair.

None of which changes Valkyrie's original point. A good many people will still call that a waste of money no matter how you describe it because, at the end of the day, it's a luxury item with subjective value. You're defending your purchase while mocking someone else's.

[Awha]

My financial decisions are not poor, and they are none of your business. The only right you have to comment on my financial decisions, is based on the information I give you.

You okay man?

This is the quote can be viewed as you mocking people for their purchase. May not have been your intent but it can be viewed as such.

....A luxury item with subjective value? I have arthritis. It's literally because I have a chronic illness, and the stock PS4 controller hurts my hands because of the placement of the left analog stick, among other things. Why are you getting so angry at someone for explaining that they spent the same amount on a controller for disability reasons that someone is whining about having to spend to get an emote. I don't care if people spend that much on the statue as a collector's item, that's their choice, and I'm not "mocking" it. I'm mocking people that whine that other people have an expensive emote that they want.

Boy, people on the forums here really like to twist things. You're really good at it. Imagine saying accessibility is a waste of money and a "luxury".

Also for many accessibility products can be seen as a luxury since depending on the quality and impact on the person's life they sre sold at a premium. I do get where you are coming from but many accessibility products that could change the lives of many in need cannot be afforded by many. So in the modern sense they could be seen as a luxury item. Even though I disagree but I will not say the indoor elevator lift I installed for my father in their house is not a luxury.

For many luxury does not equate nessesaity.
