Chris has been playing video games for most of his life. The concept of player one is by no means foreign to him, and is probably the only way he can describe being the only person with free agency, which is a pretty common delusion.
He probably got the concept from Ready Player One, or some other modern media interpretation of it.
The whole concept of "Player 1" comes from 1980's arcade games. While Chris is old enough to have experienced arcade games from the late 1980's to early 1990's, where "Player 1" was still a concept in some games, we don't hear much about him going to arcades. Chris was more of a console guy and didn't seem to frequent arcades in his autistic youth.
I suppose he could have encountered the concept on Wii Virtual Console. Original NES arcade conversions sometimes kept the Player 1/Player 2 dynamic.
In The nut House it is a hospital. A weird hospital where you no longer have a choice in certain things.
Not really true. Mental health hospitals still usually give the patients a menu to choose from. Maybe 4-5 options. That would imply some form of portion control, but he'd still be free to pick the shittiest/most caloric food. For instance always choosing chocolate milk instead of regular milk.
Way too late. Disney's Alice in Cartoonland series had a live actress interacting with cartoons in 1925.
I doubt he's seen that, but he is a big fan of Mary Poppins, which does feature live action characters interacting with toons. Still, his idea of there being a "toon dimension" seems to have explicitly originated with Toontown in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It was still separate from reality though. His ability to actually travel there as a place anyone can actively interact with seems to have come more from the Idea Guys saga. Before that, it was mostly him reincarnating Patti or Bob there as some sort of afterlife.
i.e. CWCville was a real place that Chris could create in his mind, but he couldn't actually live there himself (except as an OC alternate version of himself), until the dimensional merge shit got put into his brain that the real life Chris could mentally portal there whenever he wanted.
Remember Zoomers discovering Filthy Frank? These pissy brats would never survive on the early 2000s internet.
Yeah, they think shit's edgy now? Imagine them seeing back in the days of poorly-moderated 4chan where trolls would spam CP and it would take hours for the jannies to delete it. The modern internet is a much more sanitized place.
Although arguably the modern internet is actually a more hostile place, because while flamewars raged back then there was very little stuff that was actively moderated unless it was actually illegal. People argued fruitlessly with each other but they couldn't be canceled unless they actively jeopardized the network itself. It went from people choosing to argue to people actively working to silence others.
chris is on mood stabilizers and anti-psychotics, they tend to fatten people up alot and increase appetite.
It depends. Some people lose weight on mood stabilizers because they no longer feel compelled to turn to food as a means of mood regulation. It requires a conscious choice though.
