Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

This isn't a question, but rather an answer to something people have mentioned in other threads.

Do you want to know why Chris is making no effort to ship your orders? It is partly because he is lazy, but more importantly, it's because the simple fact that he already received his money from you. Even more importantly, he, guaranteed, has already spent that money. To him, it's not that you're a fan that has paid for a product. To him, it's a hassle, a chore he has to do for no reward. Nevermind the fact that you paid him money beforehand, he sees it as he's going to do something for you, and he's going to get nothing in return.

Realistically, he knows that the money he got from you was for something in return, but since the money you gave him for materials and shipping costs probably already was sunk into a game or toy, it's LONG GONE, he's going to see it as having to shell out on his own dime.

Because that's how his mind works. It's instant gratification, and sure, he could have avoided these feelings if he shipped out his orders as soon as humanly possible (and since he has no job and no social life, it should really take him no time at all), but...as previously mentioned: He's lazy.

Such an a$$hole.

Why does Chris buy so many games that he's never going to touch? That's the one thing I really have trouble figuring out. That and him buying games he supposedly hates (he bought BOTH Sonic Boom games. I guess the allure of Sonic was just too strong and even he could not resist the Blue Armed Bandit)

Like I looked at his PSN profile and I noticed he has three games that have almost no progression on them (or no progression at all) and these are the types of games that don't take much effort to at least get your first trophy. The games in question are "Skylanders Swap Force", "Skylanders Trap Team" and " Transformers Devastation"

This is doubly confusing to me because he likes both of those franchises. We know he likes Transformers, and his PSN profile shows he got the Platinum Trophy for the first Skylanders game. So you would think that they would appeal to him, and thus, he would be playing those games.

He was gifted at least one of those. I don't think we established that he bought any of them during the span of his boycott.

Only so many hours in the day...

But yeah, Chris buys stuff that he intends on getting to later. Chris is all concept and no implementation.

He's a hoarder like Blarb. Hoarder acquisitions don't make rational sense because they're done out of compulsion.

In the case of the Skylanders games, Chris has both the PS3 and PS4 versions. He only has progression on the PS3 versions.

I don't know why he wanted to buy the PS4 versions. I guess it's because the PS4 has slightly better graphics, but it can't read PS3 games.

Random question:

What would be Chris street- or rappername?

Sorry if it has been asked before.
 
a few lol cows seem to set up a patreon aka anita and the irrelevant wu...

if cwc set up one would u donate to it on a monthly basis?

The "problem" with Patreon is that people can pledge money at any point during the month, but they won't be charged until the end of the month. So it would probably end up becoming a recurring cycle of people pledging a ton of money, then canceling the pledge right before payday.

Now, would this be funny? Absolutely. But since Chris has had a similar experience with eBay, he might wise up to it more quickly.

Ah ok . I can answer that question for you. It has nothing to do with the graphics. He wants more trophies. PSN gives you separate trophies for a PS4 version of a PS3 game (whereas it usually will not give separate trophies for two versions of a PS3 and PSvita game, for example)

Chris is a trophy whore.
