>Oh. You still play with toys?How do you respond without sounding mad.
By never leaving my room to have that conversation.
>>11841690Correction. Immediately.
>>11841690Throw them on the ground and fuck their mouths until the cops show up.
>>11841690Yeah, including your moms’ pussies and tits.
>>11841690Why would I care how mad I sound when I respond to them?
>>11841690>yeah
>>11841690>Oh. You still play with-
>>11841690>"Yeah, it's my hobby. I really recommend you finding a hobby you'd like, feels really good"
>>11841690I take their tablets and I throw them on the ground. Calmly tell them the average domestic action figure would've tanked that.
>>11841690>But i dont want to stare at a screen like you guys
>>11841690>Why am I talking to a bunch of toddlers?
I'm 42 and I've never had this conversation with anyone. This and the retail worker giving a shit what you're buying are the biggest myths in toy collecting.
>>11841690I don't play with toys. I *collect* them.
>>11841690What business is it of yours what I choose to do? I don't need your approval, validation, or company to enjoy myself.
>>11841690>Yes. Simply mad about toys, and you?
>>11841862>This and the retail worker giving a shit what you're buyingI'm infinitely more insecure about them thinking I'm a scalper than that I'm just a manchild
>>11841690NO, LADY! I COLLECT THEM! AND I HAVE A RARE LUKE JEDI VARIANT THAT ACCIDENTALLY CAME WITH A DILDO INSTEAD OF A LIGHTSABER AND IT'S WORTH A LOT AND YOU'RE JEALOUS! AND MY POKEMON CARDS ARE WORTH WAY MORE THAN YOU!
>>11841690I wouldn't say a single word to them. I would listen to what they have to say, and that's what no one did.
I don't, I get really mad on purpose
>>11841690By pointing out I'm flexing my Godly imagination and gratitude over not being phone zombie
>>11841690>The radiation from those tablets will give you cancer and leave you barren they might laugh it off, but at least one of them will eventually start to doubt
>>11841690>Your mom still plays with toys
>>11841690Gorilla warfare.
>>11841690In a calm tone: I'm going to fuck your mom
>>11841862I had a kid at a checkout line, like maybe 7 or 8 yrs old, with his mom ask incredulously “You still buy toys?” as he pointed at a recent Mattel Jurassic World figure I was going to purchase. I just smiled and said, “You’re never too old to enjoy dinosaurs,” and that was the end of it. But otherwise, no one has ever said anything to me about buying figures at a store.
>>11845213That kid saw that and will never play with toys again. Happy toy adults will die out with millennial and their collections will be worth nothing because nobody will want it.
>>11841690>snarky Gen Alpha children chastise me about my small boys>scream loudly YEEEEEAAAAHHH NIGGGA, YA’LL FAGGOTS GOT A PROBLEM??>cops show up and beat me>put drugs in my pocket>crush my windpipe with knee, I dieYeah I’m hardcore like that
>>11841690>Yes.
>>11841862Once a retail worker asked me which figure I was going for in a collectible series and I replied 'all of them'. Other than that its the standard social fare of people not giving a shit what other people do until it affects them directly because that sort of thing only occurs in TV shows.
Yeah. >Fires a spring-powered missile accessory that gives me more satisfaction than masturbation ever could
>>11846569fire it in your ass and you get the best of both worlds.
How do you play with toys as an adult? I’m genuinely asking. I haven’t done this in over 15 years. I feel insecure and stupid.
>>11846654Copy the plot of media you like and reenact it with your toys. Make your animal toys live in a mixed colony where there’s hierarchy based on the species they are and one of them forms a mixed species love which is against the colony rules so one of the lovers gets butt raped in fromt of the whole colony then murdered to make an example flr what happens when u break the rules then the other lover gwts so angry they run away from the colony and join a group of other animals that left or have been exiled from their colony and they all exchange tragic backstories on why they all r outsiders and the lover asks all outsiders for help so they run back to the colony and rape everyone in the butts and kill them all. It’s not rlly fun if you’re not playing with someone else though imo
>>11841690Yes, yes I do>>11841862I've had several women I've been with ask me why I dont display my legos in a big shelf and I clarify that I enjoy actually whooshing the ships around and making little battle scenes with the lego guys (they will likely not understand the concept that displaying is for sojyaks)
>>11846654you dont have to whoosh them around. Put the figures on a table/shelf and imagine they're doing something. You can also whoosh them around when you feel like it. Because who cares what you do if no one sees?
>>11846776I literally did all of this as a kid (re enacted mafia movie shootout scenes with my action figures, created fake ecosystems of pokemon or dinosaurs including making the herbivores eat random plants)It's rough growing up cause I feel like I lost a lot of my carefree attitude and can no longer pretend one of my toys is actually a different toy that I dont have that I need for a specific scenario>It’s not rlly fun if you’re not playing with someone else though imoIt's hard to find someone else with the same level of autism and knowledge in niche lore like bionicle or star wars legends canonA lof ot those people still need some sort of ruleset to "play" so they instead do like tabletop strategy games or DnD and get caught up in metafagging and rulesfagging instead of just enjoying epic dramatic moments
>>11841788Solid response>>11841835Also a good option>>11841957I have this fear too. and it's worse if you look like one, being fat and all. It's why I usually go to self check out or buy one item from different stores.>>11842472kek, imagine them thinking to deep and suddenly throwing the tablet.
