FB 9/7 - Reminder of creative prime

[I_Am_Honor_Roll]

Butchering Amiibos until they vaguely resembled his Sonic recolours is what Chris considers to be his creative prime. Explains a lot.

I think his creative prime, many moons ago was when he was doing commissioned, non-copyright infringing drawings. I actually got one--ON TIME!

 

[Arnold J. Rimmer]

The active years of Sonichu were undoubtedly his creative peak.
The success of Sonichu fueled his own sense self of importance by making him so notorious on the internet, to the point where he doesn't even need to produce content anymore. He can get money for being him plus he has his , he doesn't need to be creative anymore.

TL;DR His ego got so big it's now housebound

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

Wasn't there supposed to be some big announcement video about that and whatnot, amongwhich?

Chris rivals his own weens in terms of the unresolved promises he makes.

I don't understand why he thinks amiibo's is his creative prime rather than when he was (at least sort of) regularly making Sonichu comics that required actual though to make the story, as bizarre and autistic as it may have been.

I don't think he thought it through that far. He just saw the Amiibo post pop up in the Memory feature and had a knee-jerk reaction to it specifically.

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.

I'm not sure why he couldn't figure out it would have been better to limit the orders. He knew how to disable listings for when he was totally unable to provide product (like when Lulu banned him), yet he didn't extend that to the snowballing stack of orders.

Maybe it's because of greed. If he had limited sales to whenever he could get around to finishing his quota, that would have slowed the revenue stream to a trickle.

He didn't ever consider that his customers wouldn't be happy to wait forever with no update or explanation.

When does Chris ever consider somebody else's feelings?

 

[Tubular Monkey]

I don't think his brain is even capable of that. At best, he'll try to understand why they don't understand that he is right.

Being cut off entirely is an easy signal for Chris. He simply cannot fill the orders when that happens.

But if he's not cut off, but only delayed, there's no proof to Chris that he can't fill the orders. It's just means that it might be something of a struggle. I'm sure he considered the struggle, but then ultimately decided that it couldn't be that hard. He figured he'd get through it somehow.

True, and you also have to keep in mind Chris' incredibly poor sense of proportion and numbers. He thinks that making a medallion is a great deal. He does a few minutes of fairly pleasant work, pops on down to the post office, and pockets the $30. He doesn't really think ahead put together that if he sells dozens it becomes hours or days of work, and that sometimes he might have other things to do or not feel like making medallions.

 

[Sphere of Many Eyes]

How often do you reckon he draws or colors per day at this point?

Coloring is for babies, I am sure that Chris terms it as decorating with map pencils or color sticks.

To this day I cannot believe he listed 'coloring' as an impressive trait to Kacey's 'father'.

 

[Among Which]

He would have been fine if he had a workforce of lesbian sweethearts to do the work.

Ironically, a few years later, adult coloring books became a trend and a legitimate hobby.

Maybe Chris is right, the world is becoming more autistic.

 

[WorldsSmartestManRonOTool]

I could totally see Chris's ego giving him the mental image of himself as an autistic, "lesbian transwoman" Steve Jobs, dictating his genius ideas to a technical staff for execution.

I think it's more the case of unconventional people finding each other over the internet and realizing there was a market for that kind of stuff. Kinda like the farms.
Don't think the world is becoming more autistic it's just that when you deal with something every day you tend to see it everywhere. If you are surrounded with sperg it suddenly seems epidemic - and Chris' himself sure loves to remind himself of his place on the spectrum. If Chris would declare that strawberries are his TRUE and HONEST Lesbian-soul-food you'd think they're ubiquitous. (Even if he would insist that they have to be moldy, so they can simulate his luxurios green hair.) It's about noticing stuff that you normally would forget as soon as it leaves your field of view.

The thing is, it wouldn't even be that much of a problem if he'd actually sit down and work. It's not like he's fitting this in around his job. His time is limitless. But he'd rather put it off and put it off until the backlog becomes overwhelming, whereupon he crashes into slumber from the stress.

I don't think his brain is even capable of that. At best, he'll try to understand why they don't understand that he is right.

It's often been said before, but he views other people, particularly ones he doesn't deal with in person, as NPCs. He just needs to find the right cheat code and they'll leave him alone.

He just needs to find the right binaural beats to play on his portable media player and the men will offer money, admiration, and blind faith while the women will offer sex and adoration. He also needs to find the right binaural beats to turn them into all into younger versions of Barb.
Just for referrence here is Chris at his creative prime

Spoiler: Not even Jim Henson could do this
