Hey /vr/, how do you feel about the fact that the hipsters have started to destroy genuine NES controllers and turn them into e-cigarette vape pens?

Apparently this is a huge trend now.

>> No.1821980

I realize that NES controllers aren't exactly hard to come by, but destroying hardware with a limited stock for shit like this makes me mad.
Why not use 3rd party shit-tier controllers like retrobit?

Right?
They should have used game cartridges if anything.
It would look equally as stupid but at least it would invoke proper nostalgia for the rest of us (pic-related).
Hipsters don't understand retro, that's the biggest joke about them.

>> No.1822319

The hipsters who use NES controllers (Or, god forbid, Atari Joysticks) as symbols of being retro probably grew up on Super Nintendos or N64s anyway.

It's really dissatisfying seeing all these people wear NES shirts and shit to make known their status of being a "Gamer geek" and then admitting to never liking the classics and having Cawwa Dootie as their favorite game.

This isn't about weed you fucking idiots. This has nothing to do with marijuana. Do you even know what a vape pen is? You vaporize and smoke liquid nicotine juice out of it. It's an electronic cigarette you fucking fools. Not a weed vape.

Do you fuckers even pay attention or do you really have that much of a boner for bashing weed because you're such a high class str8 edge citizen?

Hipsters destroying NES controllers for their sublimation to their cigarette and nicotine addiction is on par if not worse than people who destroy hardware for jewelry. Projared's cunt of a girlfriend takes d-pads and buttons and makes necklaces out of them.
