But I suppose Sonichu is technically Chris's intellectual property?
It'd be pretty funny if Nintendo and/or SEGA caught wind of it and sued Josh for infringement but the general consensus is that Sonichu, being derivative, isn't validly Chris's IP. IANAL though.
 
Writing the Latin improperly would be pretty funny anyway.
"Romanes eunt domus"

(I would post the clip, but some mod previously deleted one of my posts because I included a Monty Python clip. Don't want to break the rules.)

So I like the kiwi side, really like it.

the Chris side is ok but I am not really a fan of “zap to the extreme” and a weird piece of feedback would be that it doesn’t look like chris too much. I understand that for a diecast you loose fidelity so it may be that.

Lastly, I don’t want to have to explain Chris Chan to people who may ask. However I think it’s important to recognize him since he’s the reason we are all here

Doesn't "honesto" mean something more like "honorable", actually?
It's the ablative declension of honestus. It literally means "In/By/With/From honest" depending on the surrounding context. The phrase translates to "by truth and with honesty"

edit: I'm open to reworking it. it has been over 10 years since my latin studies. ex vero et probitatis - "with truth and honesty" might work better from what I've seen from my fellow Latin spergs.

I see the feedback from people saying it doesn't look like Chris well enough, and I also agree. All I need is a true 'n honest profile shot of him and I'll be able to work it out much better then. The picture he provided was retarded in usual Chris fashion and he gave us a 3/4ths view of him.

Ablatives of manner takes a noun and cum. Ex- is still the wrong preposition to use in your example.

Ah, thank you. If we wanted something a bit more flowery, would Cum vero et probus work? Ideally, a translation of "From truth and with honesty"?

verus and probus are adjectives so they wouldn't work. You could have ablatives of the nouns veritas and probitas, and do ex veritate et cum probitate. The first is an ablative of place and the second is an ablative of manner. Well, that's one way to get at the meaning, but a little wordy.

Wow, yeah that is wordy. I think your original suggestion with the adjectives might be the way to go. Thanks again!

I feel like we're only a few steps from this conversation.

 
Imagine in 3 years when the dollar crashes and the only worthwhile currency you have left is a meme coin made by an antisocial shut-in and you have to explain to the 300lb hispanic man at the pawn shop what "zap to the extreme" means. For an agonizing moment you have some flash of self-awareness, quickly rationalizing it away with the reassurance that buying your LolcowCoin was so much more redbased and epicpilled than just getting the cheapest price on a random 5oz bar like, say, a human being with an ounce of self-respect who hasn't spent an unhealthy amount of time engaging in parasocial relationships with gossipy internet addicts.

This is somehow more pathetic than even Funko Pops but I am not remotely surprised that the reddit-tier userbase of the last ~2 years, and the obsessive oldschool posters who still somehow spend hours a day on here, saw this as worth spending their welfare on. Honestly hats off to Josh for capitalizing on that. Taxing the newfags and inner circle posters is almost as good as gassing them.

So sayeth GayFagFucker210; and lo, hath proven his Cheerios were polluted by Null's piss!
 
Frankly personally Chris being in the coin is not amusing to me in the slightest and would take the kiwi logo over it... You have an awesome and cool looking design and you turn around and there's a double-chinned fat autistic fuck in the other? I can understand why his dopey ass is there but... Yeah.
I tend to agree. I'd rather see the sonichu character on there instead, if not something else altogether.
