Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

It's another example of Chris' approach to everything in life. He decides on his own what he expects, without ever considering if what he's expecting is realistic or even possible at all. Nobody's going to pay Chris' high prices on used and damaged junk. He disregards what the actual value of something is in favor of what he would like to get, and he ends up ensuring that he makes no money at all.

This is exactly how he has handled his love quest, and why it is an unmitigated disaster. Chris decides what he wants (pretty white girl with money) and he decides he'll pursue her casually with the aid of a sign at local shopping destinations. He has never heard of this situation working, and for years it failed to produce results for him in practice. Chris is deciding failure because he refuses to accept or learn how reality actually works.

You are right about the general principle of Chris demanding what he wants, I was only pointing out that if Chris ranking of choices is

1. $1000
2. Keeping the porn
3. A smaller amount of money

then listing the porn at $1000 is not irrational. He sees whether he can get his #1 choice, if he can't he gets his #2 choice. It is a general principle that individuals selling used goods often appear irrational, but that a lot of the irrationality can be explained by taking into account their value of the good being sold.

But it is probably just Chris being irrational.

I can't even remember, what was the actual reason for him to use that Zombie Psyduck? :sighduck:

Description according to the Bulbapedia: (Thanks to Descent for the original post):

In the Red, Green & Blue chapter, an undead Psyduck that had been brought back to life by a Koga's Gastly appeared in the Pokémon Tower. It first appeared to Red like a normal Psyduck, until it attempted an assault on him: its eyeballs suddenly sunk into its eye sockets and some skin fell off, revealing its bones. Since it was just a mindless undead, it was easily destroyed by Red's Bulbasaur using Vine Whip.

So, probably unrelated. So, autism.

It was all a part of a pity fishing expedition, iirc. I think he was autistically expressing his emotional state after the Great Gal-Pal Betrayal of 2013 finally sunk in. .

And he did say in another post that he liked Cubone and Yamask, but I didn't really see what their back stories had to do with his current situations the time.It was just pity fishing using two Pokemon with the most depressing backgrounds to try and elicit sympathy.

yeah but I think that was just another CWC fuck-up and what he actually meant to give her his slick dick.

What the literal fuck? I had to Google this to find out if you were bullshitting or not; sadly, this is apparently a thing. And now my browser is forever tainted. All the history deletions in the world can never wash it clean.

Come on guys, it happens in the good ol USofA too. Nobody ever read "the last picture show?"
 
So the sales on his toys went out and he just put them back on for another 6 days without changing the price. I find this funny because at least one of them clearly states on the box it's retail value was $20 and that they bought it for like $17 and he wants $25 plus $10 for shipping. Of course, Chris thinks everything goes up in value, even if it has fire and water damage and clearly looks to have been stepped on. Can't wait the 30 min to see what happens to that poor poor violin.

EDIT:
Surprise Surprise, it was also put back up.

Regarding the model aircraft Chris listed on eBay, I can say this:

To collectors like the ones I know, (I have a fair amount of experience with them), the damage to the boxes would be deal breaking, regardless of price. At the exorbitant prices Chris has set, I would be astonished if such a person made a purchase.

Novices to models are probably not going to bite on these either, given the damage and complexity (admittedly, the latter point is out of Chris' control except for consideration when setting the prices). On that basis, I find sales to novices similarly unlikely.

In my estimation, Chris would probably be better off trying to sell all of the models in a lot, at a significantly reduced price.

Now, I realize consideration like this will never be factored into Chris' sales, but I figured that I would share this anyway.

The "Steel-Plated Heart" is his newest drawing. I don't know if I'd say it's "better", but he did at least consult a reference.

I dont know shit about heart anatomy, but I think that back in the day somebody here said that it was mirrored, so he may have traced it:
Images traced from existing copyrighted content appear regularly in Sonichu. Chris traces with the "Reflecta Sketch", a since-discontinued toy tracing kit produced by Spin Master. The kit comes with a reflective piece of plastic where an original can be placed to the left and the reflection is used for tracing an outline. This is why most traced images in Sonichu are mirror images of the original work.

Edit: Nevermind, I checked on google images and it seems that its not mirrored...*yawn*
 
The steel plated heart basically means that he, himself, is not interested in finding love again. It has nothing to do with the revelation that the gal-pals fooled him.

Chris is just a shy, unassertive punk who doesn't want to try.

I dunno, it was accompanied by the skilled and haunting analogy of having been ironed flat. I really do think it was towards his high school gal pals.

Yup, Sarah Bevel was one of the gal-pals.

The Heart Level has always been Chris' scale of happiness and hope, and the truth about his HS friends - that they only hung out with him our of pity - broke his heart (to 0%). If anything, I think the steel plating may represent the fear of betrayal which keeps him from getting his hopes up again. He's still open to love, but She has to pursue Him, and try really, really, REALLY hard.

Furthermore, Chris has complained about stress-induced heart ache before. Since he seems to have a rather poor grasp of metaphors, it's been suggested that he is describing actual, physical chest pains.

I am convinced the point of the plate is that they intentionally hurt his feelings so bad they destroyed him for good, and the steel plate represents their intention to make sure he is incapable of recovering. That way they are free to perspire without worrying that chris is able to heal and continue on in his quest for vagina...err, happiness.
