I'm going with lying because guns are just part of his manly-man cosplay. Much like his V6 Mustang, motorcycle, and gym selfies. He wouldn't be able to help it but post about them, I'm surprised he hasn't tried a Torque Wheeler thing with guns.
When was the last time this fat fuck has created or enjoyed anything science fiction?
Seems to be a common sentiment among the not-very-successful "creative" class these days. There are a LOT of people who eke out a living by shitting out mediocre art on commission, and they see that AI already produces the same quality for free. So they want AI to go away instead of distinguishing their own work from AI slop.
Yeah, that's another thing. A good SciFi author would turn all this stuff into a good story.
You are right, Rick. We have nothing in common, thank God.
It's very practical and has been field tested and certified to be effective against one Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka. Like Rick he found a weird trick to get out of child support payments They Don't Want You To Know.
A constant threat. He should buy tops that fit him to put everybody at ease.
I guess he forgot about his stupid abortion trolly question.
Let's be real it won't be brought up but it'd be hilarious if his death threats were included in the cops evidence against him. It would certainly paint him as unstable.
Sci fi to Pat is just a backdrop. Not a way to tell a story. Not a way to express creativity. It's just wallpaper. It's that way because Patrick doesn't understand technology. He thinks paint balloons can disable a T-72 for the love of Pete. He watched Star Trek and thought "I want that!"
It's been updated, now the trolley is controlled by evil moneybags man.
Which is sad because sci-fi can just be a backdrop to a well-told story. Arguably Star Wars is just a standard adventure tale "in space" - the actual sci-fi parts of it aren't very instrumental to the telling of the story.
It's a nice thing to do when you're feeling shporty, child.
"Oh fuck! You mean I'm not the world's main character after all??"
Soft Sci fi like star wars is perfectly fine as long as the story and characters are good and you don't get overly technical with the setting and create plot holes. Pat does the opposite of all these things. And he thinks it's good because of his pride. Literally the worst traits of a Author in one man.
Exactly. He thinks that by being a "hard scifi" author his other failings will be excused (and damn if some famous hard scifi novels are otherwise complete shit) - but his hard scifi sucks as hard as his characters and plot.
He wants the prestige hard sci-fi brings without the work and research it takes. His ambitions are too big for him. It's why his books are a mess. He needs to stay in his lane.
Of course he unironically believes in the "I reject the premise" meme
