This is my favorite room in the half-hovel.

"Ahh, nothing like coming home in the evening after a long day of hard work tweeting at a bar, sitting down on a couch in my 40 sq ft room, cracking open a cold one and watching the drawer to unwind..."
It's the Mustang motivational poster on the wall that really completes the room for me. I can't decide what's funnier: that it's the sort of shit 20-year-old stoners put on the wall of their studio apartment, or the fact he fucking framed it.

I've seen manchildren frame generic movie posters to make them 'classy', but this is a bold new stride in the field of tasteless.

Sure would be a pity if Dan decided to see Fatrick's reading hour

The name change is interesting; you'd think "A Christmas Carnage" would be enough but maybe he was told to make it sound like a real book so he added the other bit.

Another panel.

This con is small even compared to the ones Pat usually goes to so I think they were desperate to pad out the schedule Remember the "space herpes" panel he did at like 9am that there's no evidence of? I'm convinced he gets an empty room and just doesn't do the show.

When you need to fill a lot of space for very cheap there's nobody like Patrick Tomlinson.
 
Fatrick makes Richard Simmons sound straight. What a child-obsessed lispy loser.
That's a funny comparison. Richard stopped doing the Howard Stern show after Howard took a call from a gay prostitute that Richard hired. He said Richard liked to be hit, slapped/punched etc. So he would get in this guys face and say "Daddy's gurl's been a baaad guuurl!" over and over until the guy would just beat the shit out of him.

To me it looks like Pat is doing the twitter equivalent of that.

We're obviously not sci fi pro writers but Venus is undoubtedly the stupidest site for a colony in the solar system. You get the expense of a gravity well combined with no real usable resources and a goddamn acidic oven surrounding your dirigible city and it gets worse if you want to colonize its surface. It'd be easier to colonize literally anywhere else. In fact the only possible value of Venus due to its insane inhospitability would be as the world's most expensive... prison.

I hope we get a recording of this 1.7 GPA panel.

There's been a recent resurgence of Venus colonization wank due to some feminism-flavored nonsense about how Mars/Venus : Men/Women and so clearly the reason people talk about Mars colonization instead of Venus colonization is sexism.

The biggest argument for trying to colonize Venus, and the one Fatrick seems to be making, is that you basically do it as a two-fer with Mars. The general gist is the shit that you'd do to make Venus habitable would create a fuckton of CO2, which is what Mars needs. However as you note Venus is so inhospitable in the first place you'd never be able to set up colonies to try and exploit the resources, not to mention how you're then supposed to transport the by-products between Venus and Mars anyway.

The fuck does a 1.7 GPA retard who thinks there's a "plane of the eclectic" have to say about terraforming? He's a literal retard. Maybe if it was a panel on shitting your own pants he'd have something to contribute.

You wouldn't even really need to terraform Mars. You could just dig down about 50 miles or so and the bottom would have a breathable atmosphere. Or more practically, you could just have oxygen collecting machines and live in some kind of pressurized dome. Of course if it failed you'd have basically a couple minutes to live, but presumably you could have some kind of emergency shelters for that eventuality.

With Venus, you'd have to get rid of the fact you'd be fried in acid in seconds before even getting around to the terraforming part.

Dude failed at gardening a 8x4 plot and put up a fence backwards. He's an expert at agriculture and engineering as well as an actual tough guy.

Warframe did the whole "terraforming Venus" thing better, Pat.

Patrick is an expert on this, see the half-hovel's terraformed paradise backyard

Transporting large amounts of gas? Nikki

If you aren’t crushed by the planet’s atmospheric pressure first. It’s the equivalent of having a car (or roughly half of a Patrick) sitting on every square inch of your body. I would argue that Venus is the least inhabitable terrestrial planet, maybe even body, in the solar system. I know it’s sci-fi, but these retards need to get a grip.

I don’t know that there is enough salt on Mars to support Patrick’s terraforming practices. I mean that both physically and metaphorically.

I'm willing to bet he's going to read some wikipedo article or regurgitate shit everyone already knows about how to technically colonize Venus since he basically did that with Project Orion's idea and piggishly slapped it on to one of his crummy ship designs for his sci fi novels (The nuclear bomb propulsion ship.)
In fact the "giant floating cities" idea sounds like that theory about life possibly existing on Venus's atmosphere outside of the dense poisonous acid clouds.
