> What kind of person thinks its impressive that you've swiped your credit card a few more times then they did, for the same game?

The same kind of person who thinks it’s impressive that you swiped you credit card a few more times than they did for the same society? Rolexes, branded suits, designer dresses, branded smells, it’s all the same. Products that are effectively the same as cheaper alternatives except the are more expensive and carry along with them the awe of someone taking on that higher expense. That is to say, everyone, including you. You just aren’t conscious about it in the contexts where it happens.

Also, “Timmy can’t join our clan, he’s a cheap-ass who can’t even afford the flaming bucket helmet we all wear.” Is a powerful sales pitch.
