But even if he's inept at card and action games he can adapt to games he's already good at. Platformers like the sonic series, he may have been good at brutal legend we know he was at the very least a fan of it. Despite looking stupid with his guitar hero controller trying to use it like a real guitar he did become somewhat good at the actual game. And like many autsists his hyper fixation on puzzles could have made him a tetris champion (yes tetris does have competitive tournament leauges) at least on the amateur level.


Compare that to Phil who currently is struggling with resident evil 9 on low difficulty and is making up excuses like and I quote. "I'm only dying because I'm too smart for this game" and "I can't shoot the zombies unless they're standing still"

The key difference between the two is that Chris likes playing video games and Phil doesn't. Phil considers playing video games to be a bothersome chore akin to making spreadsheets or writing TPS reports and thus refuses to learn or improve, only putting in the barest amount of effort. Phil (IMO) has a higher base intelligence than Chris and could be better than him if he (hypothetically) put in the effort, but he won't and so he's not.

Random thought in the theme of this thread

Imagining you are Chris today (a horrifying prospect) and needed a normal job. No selling sonichu merchandise or whatever for the sake of the hypotehetical. Considering his stellar CV, convictions and work experience, do you think there is ANY job he could plausibly get?

I think he could just about do Doordash or something like that. I think because of Weens and whatnot I genuinely believe any other job would be out of his realm of possibility.

It's hard enough to get a job as a normal person in this economy, Chris ain't gonna make it. He can do Doordash as you say, but weens will probably get him fired like they did Wings.

I'd imagine he'd find a way to get fired from almost any job. But he could at least get hired as a night time shelf stocker at Wal-mart.

Without Flutter to reign him in, I expect Chris would start putting up his modified Transformer toys for sale in the toy section. I don't know if that would be a firing offense. He would be very inefficient at stocking shelves, but I'm sure he's not the only inefficient worker at Wal-mart.

He could also work at Goodwill. I think they pay retarded people something like $1 an hour. The reason they can pay less than minimum wage is that they are supposedly providing job training.

In South Florida, there is a Lego guy at Goodwill who sorts Legos from off brands like Mega Bloks and stuff. Chris might be able to do that.

We can start by identifying all of the jobs that Chris is NOT qualified for: anything customer-facing (because he's a weirdo who doesn't know how to interact with people) and anything requiring skills or training (because he has none.

There are jobs for which Chris would be qualified, but he would hate them.
Amazon is constantly hiring people to work in their distribution centers (and people are constantly quitting because it's hard work).
There will always be shit to be mopped up, so janitors are always in demand.
Grass never stops growing, so people will always need landscapers.
None of these jobs necessarily require any experience or specialized training, so I suspect that Chris could get hired in some manual labor gig -- especially by any company foolish enough to still be trying to score DEI points for hiring a stunning and brave transwoman. I'd be shocked if he lasted more than a few days at any of them, though.

I'm pretty sure gig economy companies like Uber, Doordash, and the like take everybody, so Chris could get the job. He wouldn't be good at it, though. It goes back to the whole customer-facing thing. He'd have to drive all around town picking up people and/or food and then dropping them off at different locations. He couldn't handle it. At best he'd steal a few fries from a bag; At worst, nothing would ever make it to the destination. If he didn't quit within a few days, his rating would be trash, and he'd never get any orders.

I think that would be his best bet -- pair up with an organization that specializes in training and matching mentally handicapped people with jobs.
Of course, Chris would never go for it. He hates those slow-in-the-minds and loves to pretend that he's normal. Remember, this is the guy who claims to have fought his autism and won.


Edit to add: Could Chris get a job as one of those assholes holding a sign to advertise a business? I've heard that the people who do that job are mostly convicts, drug-addicts, and others who can't get employment anywhere else (not sure how true that is).

I think there are a lot of good examples here that I can imagine him doing to be fair.

I do think in theory he could be doing Doordash, but:

I would NOT be shocked if given his non stellar driving record, he would get into some form of car accident because of his increased usage of the roads. I mean, this is the guy who got into a car crash because he was "doing math in his head", after all.
The other issue is the whole picking up orders. People would absolutely photograph him. I sure as hell would if I worked in fast food and Chris Chan came in to pick up an order. Put on top the general ludicrousness of his appearance, even non followers would photograph him frankly.
The job also takes a level of self control. American drivers have to file their own taxes I believe, as well as sort car insurance, budget his gas money (which considering the Financhu crisis he would fuck up at repeatedly), and value which jobs are worth taking. Chris would genuinely do a 22 mile delivery for 89 cents because "I am earning 89 cents" for example.

Ignoring the literal exploitation level wages, Chris COULD do something like this to be fair. As long as he kept his mouth shut to his co workers, I think this is plausible. The issue I see is that even Chris would be aware of the downright exploitative wages and would not do this, even if it lead to a minimum wage job at the end of training.

I think he could get hired to a few similar roles to this that ARE technically jobs but basically exploit people (like when he "Worked" for cutco cutlery) such as MLM's. One thing I do consider he would legitimately be able to do is sell The Big Issue. Idk if they have it in America, but in the UK, it is a magazine homeless people buy and then sell for a set specified price. The money isn't good, don't get me wrong, but a lot of the sales they make are essentially in a form of charity so people do buy them.
 
He could work as one of those guys that guides you to your seat in a baseball stadium or maybe at Walmart since they accept basically every freak tranny

Doordash.

A Sonichu card and CWClight card left with every successful (like 2 out of 20 before being fired) delivery!
 
I think Chris working as a backroom stocker or intake person or whatever at Goodwill is probably the best case scenario for him. He could even have his "CPU princess shrine" in one corner (space might be at a premium though, so sorry, Christine). The only thing is that I could see him resenting "being put in the backroom" and wanting to come out to talk with/bother the customers (give them a sample of his melodic singing voice, maybe), so a wrangler will have to be on-hand to coax him back where they can hide him from the public.

Edit: the more I think about it, the more I come to the realization that maybe Chris really, truly can't hold down any kind job. Anything with either customers or co-workers will require Chris to come in contact with the public, and considering Chris' track record with personal space, he's gonna start chasing after women like a much less funny version of Animal from the Muppets, except with even more pearl-clutching and purse-hitting because of the "trans-princess" thing he's convinced himself of. Once Chris has proven that he can't control himself around women of any age or sort, any business employing him can't continue to employ him without their business being an unsafe environment. Chris is bad for business, full stop.

Yeaaaahhh....no

For one thing if he was a tagger, he would have to have at least 80 to 100 clean, stain free and tagged and ripped free clothing an hour and I always suspected that the girl next to me squirreled her away, others brought her stuff, etc.

And that's without pricing.

He would have to research what an item would have to be worse and make some judgment calls which I don't think he could do.

He might be able to do handling and receiving but that's quite a lot of heavy lifting and he has to be quick.

I understand your way of thinking but any sort of retail job or restaurant job at Chris could have is going to take multitasking and urgency.


Cashiering is out. It's just completely out, there's no way this mofo could scan a check or make sure it wasn't fake.

I'm not saying Chris wouldn't try you know if he absolutely had to but there's just no freaking way.

Goodwill has diminished in quality and I never find anything that I like there anymore. If Chris had the patience, he MIGHT be able to be a door greeter but I seriously doubt he could handle it any kind of Goodwill job. Even the people who have disabilities that work there are only their temp, I think.

Just to add on, I know I mentioned that stocking, cash handling another forms of customer service are out.

But just to add to that, he would not be able to do produce because that is a very fast-paced job, he would not be able to be a picker (which is the person that takes food down from shelves and puts on a pallet) because he would probably drop everything and you have to be able to organize like Tetris on there while still being quick.

Our guy, girl, mermaid alien whatever he is would not be able to do deli (hygiene) and he also would not be able to work fast enough and would probably cut himself, he would not be able to do anything with stocking like I said because that involves a lot of speed and time management (getting your shit done within a certain margin of time and move on to the next crap,)

Oh by the way your timed for some of that with a sort of assistant app so good luck with that imaginary Walmart associate Chris.

Let's see what else....

Gardening center is out, he would not be able to pick up a bag of soil without soiling himself. Doing anything to help customers is probably out because no one wants to listen to normal chit chat mostly anyway.

You can forget OPD, that's the department that goes around with those silver cars and shops for people. Chris would have to know the layout of Walmart and be able to work at a clip. I think it's something like 100 items an hour. Good luck!

But wait you ask! Why not maintenance?

Why not maintenance?

You mean like basic maintenance like cleaning?

HAH!

It's a messy messy job, Chris will be taking, (in our imaginary simulator) a power hose and a wet vac and spring down pork and chicken crap. He will also be taking out nasty grills and steel plates to be scrubbed with green pads and washed.

Now if he doesn't like getting nasty he's out of luck, oh did I mention making a bale?

And no I'm not talking about bonding his ass out of the pokey (not Pokemon either sorry) what I mean is our guy/girl/deranged and dangerous motherfucking delusionist will be packing at least 600 lb of cardboard and a tall green thing that looks like green dumpsters stacked on each other.

That will take a while to fill and be careful that you cut the boxes flat okay. They have safety cutter so it'll be good of course Chris will probably sneaking his own.

I do feel a little bad about this but his weak little chicken arms will not be able to pull the threads through and tie them sufficiently.

It takes a little bit of arm strength. Let's hope that he doesn't slash himself in the face because those things can cut,,!

Did I mention he has to wear gloves and follow a lot of safety protocol or he will be written up? Also this is not even exempting the plastic Bill he will have to do. Yes steel towers about oh I don't know maybe 20 ft tall that he will have to pull all the plastic out and make a plastic Bale and tie six steel cords but it can be more or less depending on what Walmart you work in he will have to tie them securely so they do not snap.

If this happens, give or take if it rains, he will then have the fun and thankless job of bringing it back in (more likely one of his poor colleagues) well he will then have to take piece by piece and put that wet soggy cardboard back in and make another one.

Fun fun fun.

In conclusion, Chris would be fired in 3 days. 4 days tops. More than likely he would quit.

On the subject of Chris being able to hold down a job...no.

Even the exploitive, low paying roles he would not perform well at because the ABSOLUTE SECOND that he started getting uncomfortable, tired, etc. he would immediately start slacking off if not stop working entirely.

The only things that drive Chris to do anything that doesn't involve immediate rewards is either stuff he truly cares about (anything to do with his fantasies) or holding a metaphorical gun to his head where him NOT doing something will make life worse for him. Hell, the only reason he isn't in a care facility or homeless on the streets right now (because of his own actions) is some weird druggie deciding to bankroll his existence for whatever reason.

I totally understand your point, but what DOES current Chris actually care about? Frankly, it appears to me to be incredibly little in the modern era. All I can think of his:

His status as a CPU Goddess
The dimensional merge
Thinking about but not actually creating sonichu
Transgenderism
Flutter

Genuinely nothing else comes to mind. Quite a hollow existence filled with meaningless distractions and fantisful thinking instead of attempting to achieve anything.

Not a bad suggestion, but I can see several issues

Chris feeling intellectually challenged when asked about something outside of his field of expertise could cause a total breakdown.
The lack of subtlety in his actions is not exactly library material, imagine him knocking over some books and throwing a tantrum.
All of the previously mentioned customer interactions

I Heard sitting infront of the demonstrator on a library is quite literally doing nothing and getting paid for it, also nobody in this age is going to a library besides college students going to do some work with their computers and old people very few people for Chris to bother, he could quite literally just sit in there, show them some alley where the specific genre of books they look for and play on his switch or something, also he lives in a small us Town you can bet very few people go to the local library.
