FB 9/7 - Reminder of creative prime

Status
Not open for further replies.
You'd figure his "creative prime" would be stronger by now, given all the recent news of all of those unpaid everything-bills. I'm pretty sure he made a good chunk of change last year when he was doing amiibos and signed photos... well, before he blew it all on Legos, went back to square one, and resorted to shameless begging. He was vaguely productive and motivated at the time!

Goddamnit Chris, stop cross-dressing like a blind drag queen and get a job as a janitor. You're slowly killing your mother.

Did he even make money on the ambiibos he sold? He included parts from several more expensive and rare ones...
He should have stayed with comissions and stuff that was actually cost-effective. And funnier than this abomiinations.

The majority of Amiibos sold were Sonichu, which was made from two Amiibos that cost $15 each, plus a little more for Crayola clay and paint. It's probably about a $35 cost for something he sold for $50.

Last year, he said he sold 50 Sonichus. He's had a few more sales of it since then, plus a few sales of other characters. His total by now is probably around 75, which is about $1,125 in revenue.

His actual profit is much less than that, since he had a habit of spending hundreds of dollars on stockpiling rare Amiibos, intending to cut them apart to make the recolors, because he thought the market would be strong enough to sustain that. Those Amiibos are gathering dust somewhere in his hoard now.

Then the smart thing to do would be too sell this rare amiibos... which doesn't require too say that it'll never happen.

he's just an exceptional individual that is running on pure paranoia and grudges. the greene county conspiracy is going to haunt him until he dies because of his inability to accept responsibility like others have said. I guess seeing these things where he hasn't filled orders angers me more than it should

I don't know why his inability to fulfill orders would anger you. The way I see it, if you're :autism: enough to actually order something from him expecting to receive it, then you kinda got what was coming to you.

This was Chris at his most creative. It was so creative his entire life was nothing but downhill below this afterwards.

Lazy piece of shit, the trolls are the only bread and butter you have.

I am so sick of this playing the victim mentality that seems to be popular these days

Eat a silo full of dicks, Chris

They may not be rare anymore. When amiibos started, everyone wanted them (for some reason, god knows why, they're pointless trinkets that don't even really add anything to the gaming experience) and they were understocked in most places.

But see, now Nintendo is fully aware of their demand, or at least the demand at the time. Now amiibos litter the shelves in most stores

Chris could have gotten some quick cash had he set up a booth at that nerd convention he was at and sold signed prints of old Sonichu drawings. Maybe not a LOT but he could've charged $20 a print and made them for $6 at a Kinkos or something.

Of course he could have. He probably wouldn't have gotten as much attention as say...GOOD artists that were hocking their art there, but he would have made some sales from trolls or "ironic fans"

Chris could absolutely capitalize on his fame...or rather infamy would be the better word. Probably not enough to make him rich, but he could make some cash. And he's too lazy to do even that

Didn't he try that and got rejected from a convention. It seems like the sort of thing conventions would be very wary of. There are the obvious copyright issues. It would be purely a laughingstock. And you would risk being criticized for hosting a bullying situation.

Yeah, the Amiibo business model didn't make a lot of sense the way he approached it. The only logical way of doing it would be to by the parts for 5 or 10 Amiibos with cheap inputs, make them, list them, wait until they were almost sold out, buy some more parts, and then repeat until he had satisfied demand.

His drawings and medallions made a lot more sense. Cheap inputs, large markups, enough demand to earn him a decent chunk of change. He did get (I think unfairly) criticized for high prices on those, but they were a decent idea. The main we he fucked that up was by taking unlimited orders instead of either selling premade stock or a fixed small number of orders so he could keep control of his workload.

chris could have capitalized on his fame a ton of times, but with each chance he just gets lazy and let's the opportunity slide by
this is chris, he just wants to sit and play vidya and expect the world to come to him
if sega was ever serious about making a sonichu game, chris would fuck that up too by not going to work and ignoring requests to finish his product.

When I saw the title of this I felt a bit of sympathy and a tiny pang of guilt, because I assumed it'd be about his high school days or the Sonichu heyday. That vanished immediately as soon as I saw it was the mangled Amiibos.

Of course he thinks his creative prime was that brief window where he managed to flog shite, not when he was producing content.

Most people's reactions to realizing they've been unproductive: "Wow, I really should get back to work on that!"

Chris's reaction to realizing he's been unproductive: "Dang dirty TROLLS!"

The only trolls in Chris's life right now are himself and Barb, we didn't take out a $115,000 mortgage on their house or make Chris buy all of those Lego sets with his own money. We didn't make Barb drive up a debt she couldn't pay off or make Chris slack off on his sales until his shops were closed. But, you know, perfect snowflake who can do no wrong.

It's a shame none of his Facebook friends has enough of a backbone to call him out on this, I'd love to see him explain just how the trolls are the root of his troubles at this point.
