Patrick Sean Tomlinson / @stealthygeek / "Torque Wheeler" / @RealAutomanic / Kempesh / Padawan v2.5 - "Conservative" sci-fi author with TDS, armed "drunk with anger management issues" and terminated parental rights, actual tough guy, obese, paid Quasi, paid thousands to be repeatedly unbanned from Twitter

edit: Listening back over some clips from Josiah 5 and I love the escalation of Ricks "shut your fucking mouth".
That last one still gets me. There is at least one “SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!” from his 2AM freakout at the cops that is downright chilling. We need a megamix of them all!
 
Anyone read Lewis Space Trilogy? I hear it's good.
It's one of my all-time favorites. I think I once quoted Lewis's description of the "un-man" to describe a lolcow once. I think Perelandra is probably my favorite book of the trilogy. C. S. Lewis also wrote some great non-fiction and commentary stuff.
I also love reading sci-fi from the 40s and 50s because it was a time before the genre concrete was beginning to set. Authors didn't care about tropes because there kind of weren't any, so you got these wildly inventive, personal stories. Since a lot of that stuff was written for serialization it teds to be short, condensed, and doesn't waste the audience's time. You can get a sense of what's important to the author, what the author cared about. What's important to Pat? Stuff like that never comes through in his books.
Also I can't get into George R. R. Martin's stuff at all and his popularity kind of baffles me. Never tried reading ASOIAF cause I didn't like the show and I read some excerpts I thought were bad. Read some of his comics stuff (Wildcards: A Drawing of Cards, Fevre Dream) and I guess he's just not for me.

Pat should get a job.
 
It's fucking obvious, our LE in this country are a joke if they aren't making these connections. At this rate I'm starting to think they enjoy their time being wasted.
It's simpler than that. They just don't care. They know at this point any calls to that address are going to be easy to handle. So they take their time, get a "successful" entry in the books, collect their pay, and move on with life. No "investigator" is wasting any time whatsoever on this fat asshole. They know he's a nuisance.

And the sad truth is most of the time even the FBI doesn't actually care that much about bomb threats either unless something actually explodes. Even the Boston marathon bombing only briefly shook them from their slumber.

Why is he dumb enough to post every single place he is at? If someone is truly stalking him and sending bomb threats to every establishment he frequents, it would probably be wise not to advertise every place you are at.
He loves the attention. The last thing he wants is for people to shut up and leave him alone.

I agree. The pests give him purpose and relevance. They expand his reputation (for better or worse), he provides an expanding waistband and lots of laughs in return. It’s nature working together honestly, kinda beautiful. Boomia even calls a truce on special days.
 
I appreciate the autism in your post,

but:


Not really. A lot of people use airbrush paints with brushes, it's not unheard of. Or maybe he bought it by accident because he's a fat retard
I've seen people use model air paints on aircrafts because yes people are that stupid (Patrick also only tends to work on ships and aircraft). Depending on what you're doing, air brush paints flow better so you don't have to add any flow improver into it. You can also use non airbrush paint in an airbrush if you know how to mix right.
 
It's funny, both kiwifags/funsters and Pat can both agree Torswats is behind the SWATings. But where we differ is who is calling it in. He could end it in a minute by producing receipts, I don't get why he'd say "it's Patrick lol" because he owes him and then not produce any actual evidence. Maybe such evidence would reveal information about Torswats? Or (less likely) Torswats is just fucking with us for some weird reason.
I am not even sure it's him or just a fame whore, like those people who confess to a murder for attention but they are not the murderer.

Explained a bunch of pages back, tl;dr Fatty somehow managed to get the attention of a big shot literary agent who normally works with writers like PKD, Harry Turtledove or Mercedes Lackey.
Lol, that's all, I guess it was just luck then

I can't believe they have translated his books into French and German. I would love to see Éric Zemmour get a hold of one of his books and rip it to shreds in a scathing review for Le Figaro. Lmao.

Try not to multipost bro, makes the thread look messy!

As for translations, that tends to happen regardless of the popularity as translators like a paycheck and publishers like to bet that they'll get more in international sales

Terry Pratchett once claimed that a polish translator told him it was hard to translate his books into polish as it wasn’t possible to think like that in polish.

I should think Fat would get the same claim but the reasoning being that it’s not possible to be that retarded in polish.

I mean, I am not familiar with Terry Pratchet, but I find that hard to believe because I have seen a lot of garbage get translated into Polish but, the idea of Patrick's books getting translated into Polish is still a horrifying thought.

I am pretty sure you can find the German version on kindle.

Also, sorry for the triple posting. Sometimes, I am a boomer when it comes to the internet.

It's like the Asterix stories; much of Pratchett's work is based on puns and references, and if you *really* want to translate those, you have to find new references that work in the language.


Tolkien was such a nerd that he wrote his OWN guide to translating his names: https://www.tolkien.ro/text/JRR Tolkien - Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings.pdf

Fatrick has names that need no translation

PL: My friend’s mother translated the Asterix books into English and had a huge impact on the series. Related to your comment:

But first we need someone to translate Pat’s books from fat tard to English.
 
Anyone read Lewis Space Trilogy? I hear it's good.

Finished it last year. It’s incredible. The concepts in it are far beyond anything our fat friend here could grasp. It’s a hard trilogy to describe in a way that does it justice— one of those things that you just have to experience for yourself. CS Lewis was truly a man ahead of his time.

So good. Each book can be read by itself or in series. Each has a very different theme and feel. Perelandra is my favorite, followed by Out of the Silent Planet, then That Hideous Strength.

Spoiler for book spergery-
Lewis was a Christian and an apologist, and he had this really interesting philosophy where he would always try not to put God in a box- or rather he’d always try to imagine God outside of the confines we usually see him in. So in the Narnia books, the question “what if there’s a multiverse of infinite unique worlds?” Is answered with “God is God in all of them, despite being in another form, each world having its own laws, and redeeming each world in another way.”

The Space Trilogy imagines other planets and aliens as part of a bigger plan God has for the universe. Each planet is ruled and guarded by a sort of guardian angel. In the first book, a man goes to Mars and meets a dying planet where the creatures there never were tempted and fallen to sin. They live good simple lives, each according to their species, glorifying God in their own way (hunter-poets, scientists, and artisans.) it’s hinted that Earth is fallen because our guardian angel is Lucifer and that’s why we have sin and chaos on our planet.

In Perelandra the same man is sent on a mission to a young planet that’s just beginning, meets that planet’s Eve, and figures out he’s been sent by God to prevent satan from corrupting this new planet with a new original temptation. Imagine if there was like a bird to counter-argue with the snake in genesis and protect Eve from the temptation to eat the fruit. Best part is when he realizes he has to stop arguing and just fucking kill the devil’s agent lol

The third book is great but kinda disappointingly not in space, it’s about earth. It’s about a NWO type of plot by a satanic globohomo cult to take over academia and government and bring about an apocalyptic destruction of life to elevate an AI-like computer as God. It all ends in bloody chaos, but the way the group uses peoples ambition and desire to be elite is brilliantly written. Bonus points for Merlin showing up to dab on a roastie randomly.

TL;DR Lewis would weave philosophy and a real love for truth and goodness into his fantasy. It’s especially impressive when you realize he wrote these books in the 40-50’s, way ahead of any sort of precedent in the world of sci-fi. He managed to write really cool space stuff without the hamfisted cringey sex and edge that modern science fiction demands. Patrick Tomlinson is too retarded to do such a thing. He is also fat, and I would not have sex with him.
