"Honor Roll" has always been against suicide under any circumstances?

"Honor Roll" has always been against suicide under any circumstances?

I thought so too, then I remember the depressive state he was in after Bob's death (when he also had to start adulting and acknowledge the financial problems) and finding out the truth about his high school gal-pals

But yeah, now that he has the cope of being a literal goddess I don't see him ever coming close to suicide again. Bella was a sadistic retard for hoping it would end that way.

In August (technically) and November.

On Big Island.

Wow, even when he has people watching him night and day he still doxes himself.
Nice to know he will never change.

Just when I thought I had seen the most insane parts of Christory I am proven wrong.
I can't imagine what is next.

A random thought came to my mind as I was reminiscing about late 90s to early 2000s PokeMania.

I find it bizarre that out of all the medias that Chris attached himself to, it was Pokemon at his age at the time. Even back then I was under the impression that the youngest of players back in 1998 would have been thirteen at the absolute oldest. Every aspect of marketing for the series was almost always geared towards children and pre-teens.

I know that many of those same kids eventually became thirty year olds that still play Pokemon, but at least they have the excuse of growing up with the games.

Chris on the other hand would have been 16 when Red and Blue hit shelves in North America.

I get that he's autistic and extremely childish, but it's just a weird thing for him to get attached to when there were dozens of other franchises from his early years he could have latched onto.

There was a time I felt sorry for this motherfucker.

It would have been for the best he was introduced to reality sooner. Even something seemingly harmless like his lunch buddies gave him the wrong impression.

Then of course he turned into a motherfucker and now deserves no pity.

you guys do realize that even if we could transport chris of 2009 across time to the present, we will still never have another liquid chris saga right? we live in a different world. even if we find a person with such supreme classical sensibilities, talents, and creativeness as liquid, it would immediately become about how chris is women's fault because sluts, chris is bullied because white, chris is white privilege, etc liquid would probably be banned from all platforms within hours. there is even a chance cloudflare might get involved.

Not to mention, the stage of the information revolution at the time played a central role in making the classical era possible. It was a transitional period. The tech wasn't mature yet but its infancy was long behind. Everything about the internet was cool. Google search returned amazing results. You could even find very interesting ideas on reddit. it seemed you are a always just a few clicks away from interesting or fun discussions /activities. It was like that brief period between ghetto and gentrification when a neighborhood is really awesome.

Do you think Chris is on drugs besides prescribed medication?
In so many of his recent videos he has this far off look and he seems like he wants to fly into tardrage but he just doesn't have the energy.

It would be funny if Jesus Christ Chan was high as a kite.

Incoming 90s sperging/nostalgia.


A lot of people tend to forget the 90s was a unique decade, because it was one decade two eras. You had 89 to around 94/95. Where everything was more or less a holdover of 80s culture cause the literal 80s babies where now kids ages 10-13. They were into stuff like tmnt. Jurassic park, nirvana, saved by the bell full house, clarrosa explains it all, Ghostbusters, tiny toons, batman tas, goosebumps. Marvel comics, ect.


Then you had the later half which lasted around 96 to 9/11...maybe as late 2002 with some holdover. This half of the decade was the age of surge soda, energy drinks, Tony Hawk, x games, the matrix, Pokémon, eminem, nu metal, friends, Kennan and Kell. Ext.


Chris was definitely a child of the early half and of course had he been more...normal. or at least trained properly as many autists at that time were being. (The so called "high functioning ones like him at least) he would latched onto the teen culture of the era LIKE matrix, nu metal, eminem, and all that shit. I've said this before. Chris is truly am anomaly. He was a baby of the 80s, a child of the early 90s and seemed to never leave said child like state...except of course for things like his pervey craving for China, and pitiful attempts at looking "mature."

 

[Bill Kilgore]

So...If I remember correctly, Chris do have a Steam account right? does he still uses it? or does he pretty much left it to dust off after the end of the Idea guys saga?

also can I have a link? just wanna look in a bit or did he made it private? cause if it was then nevermind.

When I was a kid nothing existed that wasn't Pokemon.

For people who where not alive at the time you have no idea how hard and fast that hit - Honestly I was to old for it an my sister was towards the middle or tail end of the intended age group for it but EVERY child in that age group went from overnight knowing nothing to being utterly obsessed, it was on TV all the time, the Toys, the Games, the other Merch was everywhere and it was for a few years before it even died down slightly.

I hate terms like "Caught lightning in a bottle" but Nintendo certainly did, and I can see why someone mentally younger than they really are an more simple than their age group like Chris would become a fan and stay one, it's marketing was almost perfect and had a toy or some other item to fit every occasion allowing it to be a 24/7/365 fixture in a childs life.

Pwr lvl I was right dead center the target audience.

There was no escaping the sheer velocity with which they hit us.... But you have to understand, too, it's not something other age groups can't relate to.

It's about friendship, hard work (well Ash does get his badges fairly easily) love, sacrifice is a big one in the early episodes and Pokemon could be pretty snarky. Especially Ash. It was appreciated, especially his rivalry with Gary.

Plus, some of the saddest episodes are in the first season. At least in the beginning there was a real sincerity that kids gravitated towards and was sort of a stand-in when you didn't have a lot of friends growing up.

Chris would have seen that and automatically wanted Misty and Brock or Tracy or Dawn or whoever is in the little friendship group at the time to be his besties. If you're an only child, especially, it's really going to resonate with you.

Obviously there comes a time where you have to accept reality and be able to balance what you want versus what your life really is.

It's understandable that you want to hold on to these parts of your childhood that make you happy, but bills aren't going to pay themselves and people aren't just going to like you because you have a garrish Ash Ketchum outfit with a bunch of Pokemon cards you can't even play.

Never let go of that side of yourself, but never be Chris. Never.

Yeah, The 90s was kind of weird, my brother and all his friends were into Pokemon but I was just one year older than them and thought it was pointless, while everyone else was into it.
Just one little year could make the difference between being a part of a fad or not.

I've never seen a thing like it, honestly it was surreal looking back - there where toy crazes before hand like Bruce Light Year, Aladin etc but the way Pokemon hit the market and honestly nothing has been like that since.

Barbie has always had the little girls being magnetically attracted to anything cute an pink going for it, Jurassic Park had Dinosaurs going for it and Star Wars was a year or two away and even then that wasn't as popular as Pokemon. I can recall news storys of kids going to see the first film 8 or 9 times - not even Harry Potter was that popular on release.

Honestly I'd love to read a research paper into it's popularity at the time, Historically and ethnographically it was a phenomena we have yet to see again.

 

[cultural_marks]

Is the claim that Emily and Kim Wilson were the same person accurate?

 

[Kiwisee]

Continuing on with the PokeMania sperging, this video cements to me that he latched onto this show instead of the variety of cool teen media that was out at the time.

He's the oldest kid in that clip. I actively looked for anyone else in his age group and found nothing.

I'm now curious about his opinion on Palworld; has there been any seething from him over it?
