he's the type of retard that will just try to make his own ala C-Quarters. He would sooner cut out cardboard covered in crayola fucking markers, laminate it with scotch tape, and call it official currency
God they're right about crypto people how you people just can't shut up about your dumb pyramid scheme for two seconds
Chris doesn't even know how loans work or how basic finances work why would he care at all about any shitcoin or anything else that doesn't inflate his ego or give him instant gratification
When Bob died, according to Chris, Bob left him 'financial binders' so Chris can manage the finances. The house was paid off so Chris (and Barb) had to worry about was general maintenance. With the hoard, I doubt it would be possible. Chris would be too dumb to read those binders, no matter how Bob tried to make it easy to read.

The saddest part is that the binders probably burned in the fire. What really sad is that if Barb didn't spend the 50k or get another mortgage on the house they will be living fine and maybe past events would not occur due to the stress of fianchu crisis.
Hehe yeah, It’s makes me wonder going back to my original point would Chris’s life have been immeasurably better had be been asexual or never been interested in girls at all, I mean he’s still be the same autistic Chris obsessed with games and Sonichu would still exist, but the love quest part would be completely removed from his identity. Would he be much more likeable and innocent if he had that half of his personality and goal removed? If he had just been famous for being a huge sperg who was known for some stupid comic and nothing else?
On the one hand, I would say Classic Chris would never go for 'Pristine Christine' because she is "fat and ugly and I would not have sex with her." Then again, Classic Chris was fraternizing with large girls, so this would be a possibility.

Then he'd probably treat women just as badly as he treated men. Without his dick telling him that women are princesses, he'd see they were treating him with even more disgust than the men in his life were.
I always find it funny if absolutely insane that Chris tried as hard with his Love Quest as he did despite literally almost every major bad thing that’s happened to him in his adult life is because of it,.
PVCC expulsion? love quest, Kicked out of his favourite malls? Love quest, Banned from the Game place? Love quest, medallion stolen and destroyed? Love quest, losing your PSN accounts and having to humiliate abuse yourself and shove a medallion up ur arse only to be revealed ur lover is a 13 year old boy? Love quest, Be trolled for years by other fake sweethearts asking you do more humiliating stuff and screw you over further? Love quest. Get trolled so hard that you Troon out and spend the rest of your days as a gross, saggy and unconvincing tranny? Love quest. Get so desperate for sex you literally commit incest with your mom and get sent to jail for possibly years? Love Quest.
It makes me wonder whether at one point Chris never put two and two together and think ‘Hmm yeah, maybe this love stuffs not for me, I think I’ll just stick to friends and vidya for now!” He had years of being shit on by woman, yet he always came back for more punishment no matter how many times he failed. After a certain point would he not have been scared off or at least a little discouraged from trying to get a sweetheart from all the trolling? Why was he so resistant and stubborn in his quest?
The weirdest part for me is it all of a sudden happed when Chris was in his 20’s, you usually associate cringy attempts at love with high school teens but Chris somehow skipped that even though he seems to have found his gal pals attractive in retrospect.
Also at least from his online activity he seemed more worried about having sex and not being a virgin than actually being in a relationship. before the prostitute anyway.

He definitely would be if he was asexual, Chris would just be known for having silly outbursts over losing contests, Sonic’s arms being blue or My Little Pony ending as well as his gigantic ego, Sonichu and that kind of thing.
If he was gay I think it might Even be worse (Aside from the whole incest thing) since there’s a good chance he’d be a huge sexual deviant like Sockness or maybe even Pamperchu.

He did try to ask out at least one of his gal pals at least once, but yeah it was delayed.
And that development being delayed is very, extremely common in autistic men. They tend to lose their virginity late because it takes them forever to figure shit out and they're trying to figure out basic teenage dating while they're decades older. In Chris' case he *still* hasn't figured it out.
(Autistic girls don't have this problem so much because guys will still actively try to date them, if not while they're in middle/high school, then immediately after as once they hit whatever the age of consent is wherever they are they get the whole male population as potential suitors, and there will be someone trying for them.)

This falls into the "Good Things About Chris" thread, but at least he's not Pamperchu. He has all the makings of Pamperchu yet still rises above that level. He may have banged Barb but at least he didn't eat her poop.
The saddest part is that the binders probably burned in the fire. What really sad is that if Barb didn't spend the 50k or get another mortgage on the house they will be living fine and maybe past events would not occur due to the stress of fianchu crisis.
A lot of Chris' life is a study of the inevitable. Even the incest was predicted years ago.
If it hadn't been for the fire, the hoard would have consumed the house anyways. That said, the hoard made the fire inevitable; you can't run a home on extension cords from the single outlet you can still reach.
Barb's biggest financial mistake was giving a shit-tonne of money to Bell to prove herself and Chris innocent when they were guilty as hell.
That and pissing money away in general. $500 for a shitty lego set based on an awful movie reboot? No amount of tugboat can support spending habits like that. I mean it never even occurs to that silly twit, or his hoarder mother, to spend that money on paying down the mortgage. Were it not for that mortgage, they'd only piss away the monthly payments on something else. Were it not for the financhu crisis, they'd spend themselves into a financhu crisis.
On the contrary, having something he wanted that he needed to actually earn was one of the few things keeping him in line. Take that away and he'd be utterly insufferable.
So Chris' life might have been slightly better, but everyone else's would have been far, far worse.

In his teens, Bob was paying Gal Pals to hang out with Chris, so Chris didn't have to do anything on his own. in his 20's, all that stopped, so suddenly Chris had to start putting in some effort on his own for female attention. Except Chris had no clue what to actually do. Still doesn't.
That's the part that gets me. Any decent attorney could have gotten them the same outcome for 15%-20% the cost. I have no idea how Bell got away with charging them $50k for that. Hell, a public defender might have gotten then something similar. (Though it's unclear to me if they would have qualified for a PD, I don't know how Virginia calculates ability to pay -- in my state they grant it more or less automatically unless you're obviously decently well-off)
See below article from Canadian news site. Made me think of CWC. Thought best place to post was this catch-all thread.
I keep apprised of Chris' antics so saw the talk of the house possibly having been cleaned up and perhaps all Chris' stuff has been thrown out. I wonder if he would/does have (or had if its gone) anything potentially of value. He was kind of autistic you know, would he have kept original packaging for all his stuff, or just certain ones, or none? With the horde though I'd be inclined to think he would have kept at least some of the original packaging. I am sure some you who know more about Chris' horde and which legos or other toys that may have some good value is owned by Chris? I'd be interested to know if any of his stuff would have been worth some good money, looking past the fact that they weren't in pristine condition but original package was still available.
I wish I was smart enough back when I was a kid or had the power of foresight to see the value that a lot of toys and memorabilia etc would have 4 or 5 decades into the future. I had tons of the large GI Joe action figures, full jeep with spotlight, Big Jim Rescue vehicle, 6 million dollar man rocket/lab, Billy Blastoff shit! LOL Not to mention full series of early 70s NHL cards and handmedown Combat, Beatles and numerous other trading cards from the 1960s. Whole large garbage bag full of cards. I was also visiting some folks in a smaller part of Nova Scotia decade or so ago on a business affair and while chatting they said they would go to flea markets and yard sales and buy toys and games and puzzles. When they showed me some of the stuff one item was an aforementioned Billy Blastoff set, the moonwalker or something like that. It was a set with like 7 or 8 pieces including the figure. In box, twist ties never even removed from the toys, they were still attached to the cardboard holding the toys. I said how much did you pay for that, 50 cents she said. I went on ebay and showed her a used toy, with box but damaged and missing couple pieces, it was close to 300 bucks in bids at the time if my memory serves me. She was stunned.
tl;dr: Any thoughts about how much Chris' toys are worth? Which ones are of considerable value, again if Chris took care of/had original packaging.
Plastic gold: How Lego is attracting the eyes, and wallets, of collectors

For decades, Lego has captured the minds and imaginations of children and adults alike from around the world.
And as new research has shown, there may be some money to be made in one of the world's most popular toys.
Researchers from HSE University in Russia recently published a paper in the journal Research in International Business and Finance, which looked at the average returns on 2,322 retired, sealed Lego sets sold on the secondary market.

Although returns did vary significantly, the study found the value of those sets rose by as much as 11 per cent annually between 1987 and 2015, outperforming some stocks, stamps, wine and even gold.
"Many people do this business and they generate quite high returns in fact, and they make money for a living by this business, so it's possible," Victoria Dobrynskaya, a co-author of the study and an associate professor in the faculty of economic sciences at HSE University, told CTV National News.
Limited edition, sealed Lego sets proved to be the most valuable, but used Lego can be worth more on resale sites too, especially if the original packaging is there.
Mini figures and sets bought at a discount also could generate relatively high returns once resold.
Dobrynskaya said that the study's data ended in 2015, but she suspects the return on Lego sets sold on the secondary market have been even higher in recent years, with gold appreciating in value at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
And while Lego may not necessarily be an investment people can rely on for their retirements, Dobrynskaya says it is much more accessible to smaller investors, but does require some research.
"You need to be a specialist in this market, in fact," she said. "You need to be a fan of Lego in order to understand which set would appreciate the most."
Among those who has seen this shift in the collectible market is Paul Hetherington, an award-winning artist based in Vancouver whose Lego creations have been featured widely in news stories, books, magazines and conventions.
Turning his childhood hobby into a business, Hetherington has collected for 30 years and been commissioned to make custom creations, both large and small.
"I have a piece called Unchain My Heart, which is a big steampunk robot coming out of a mechanical heart. That one is probably my most artistic piece," he told CTV National News.
"And then of course the Joker's Fun House, which I made probably six or seven years ago, is still a fan favourite basically."
Hetherington says he really started to notice a change around the time Star Wars sets came out in the late 1990s, which brought a "whole new brand of collector back in."
That was the first time, he says, he would go into a store and not find what he was looking for.
And that trend has only continued since.
"Now some sets get retired after six to eight months, some are in there for maybe a year, year-and-a-half, but it's not the three or four years that it used to be back when I was a kid," Hetherington said.
"If you snooze you lose sometimes. If you don't get it right away, you end up having to buy it on the after-market where prices shoot up to who knows. The sky's the limit."
I've long suspected Bell didn't want to take the case, but Barb kept insisting because they attended the same church or something like that. Bell couldn't say no under those social conditions, so he jacked up his fees to convince her to go elsewhere, quite underestimating the lengths Barb's ego would go to to prove her innocence.
Can you name any fictional character that is powerful enough to be capable of defeating comic Chris and the chaotic combo?
(character has to be better written than sonichu, so no empress Theresa or Rey Skywalker)
Hehe yeah, It’s makes me wonder going back to my original point would Chris’s life have been immeasurably better had be been asexual or never been interested in girls at all, I mean he’s still be the same autistic Chris obsessed with games and Sonichu would still exist, but the love quest part would be completely removed from his identity.
