With his self-proclaimed knife fighting expertise, I would like to see him up against Shane Nokes. Same weight class as well I would guess (Super Extremely Fat weight).

He's up against Boomia again.

Thinking you can assault and restrain someone for ringing your doorbell sounds like one of your delusions again, Patrick.
You would at least get to enjoy a holding cell until you are sober again if you tried that.

That’s the element most accurate to the book in the entire movie.
Red wanting to be as selfless as the man he had just murdered, rather than fixing whatever debilitating genetic degeneration is happening to his own daughter is the twist ending. Red spends the end of the book wishing for peace and prosperity for all man because his personality has been warped to fuel his own deepest wish.

Haven't read the book (and also read the spoiler, bravo me), but doesn't that mean that the Wish Granter in Roadside Picnic actually granted your wishes, and not your deepest desires? In Tarkovsky's Stalker, Porcupine wished to bring his brother back, as he sent him to die in the Meat Grinder, but what the Wish Granter did instead is that it gave him wealth, becuase that was what he truly desired. After all that Porcupine hanged himself. That's the big difference between Roadside Picnic's Wish Granter and Tarkovsky's. Then there's GSC's interpretation where it was just a decoy to stop people from discovering the truth about the Zone, that it is in fact a man made hell, because a group of scientists messed with something they did not understand, causing a tear in the collective human consciousness, and those collective human thoughts began affecting the world.

Yes, wanting to fix his daughter was what we said he wanted. What he got was what he really wanted deep down.

The video game interpretation is intentionally different enough by necessity, since it’s inspired by the setting rather than being an adaptation of the book.

The book’s really good in a Man in the High Castle-sort of way, rather than the movie’s art house appeal.

Because he wanted to dox trolls but do it legally, except there’s no legal way to dox people who aren’t breaking the law, and he’s not — well, I almost said he ain’t a fucking pig, but let me rephrase, he isn’t a member of law enforcement.

It's actually usually possible to do it even based on incredibly flimsy arguments. Quasi and the 60 Does are lucky that not just Pat but his lawyers were also morons. Sleazeballs come up with bogus justifications for subpoenas all the time and often get away with it. Maybe you can file for sanctions afterwards but you can't get undoxed.

Quasi simply had excellent counsel not willing to let this fat pig trample all over his rights.

Patrick squares off against a vatnik in a game of "who can swallow the most propaganda". He wins, naturally.

What good are any of these tanks going to be once the water balloons finally get filled up?

Also, my understanding is that U.S. tanks have almost always been weaker because the U.S. has never focused on tank combat and deliberately prefers to avoid tank-heavy combat situations. Even back to WWII the U.S. has preferred to move fast and with combined arms versus filling the horizon with tanks rolling forward. Why would the U.S. give a shit about outfighting your tanks with tanks when they can just carpetbomb them?

It's why helicopters became tank killers, not other tanks. Though there are still Americans who think tanks are the best thing to use in war.
 
I have noticed, especially in the last year plus, that many people think modern warfare still involves going out into an open field and battling until only one side has survivors.

Which is funny because it's something the Americans tried to avoid as much as possible in the Revolutionary War.

I love that this is a copy/paste line now: "You will be immediately incapacitated and rendered immobile until the police arrive." It has that official police talk feeling, when some poor semi-literate career sheriff has to outline in clinical terms how they restrained some jubilant Negro who had overindulged on bath salts.

It's also a really flowery way of saying "I'll sit on you, child." As a professional writer, he should know better than to use extraneous words.

It might be a fun project to hit up the various AI programs and prompt it for the premise of his book before it is published and compare/contrast with passages once it does come out.

Most of the battle right now are being done near cities, something not a lot of countries have training in. USA tends to outsource training for their soldiers for urban combat or team up with other countries for it for instance (look up MOUT. US and Canada tend to do a lot of that together). Ukraine certainly isn't trained for it. Russia has some but no where near the level China and South Korea has.

It's the marvel/DC capeshit. Tubby, white, manlet manchildren like Fatricia squeal with glee and poop a little when Hollywood shits out another one, reinforcing the idea to her that modern warfare is twinks in leotards fighting with swords in the middle of a field.

The idea's certainly got hooves! It's just too bad you could never show it in a real theater, lest Pat hire somebody to call in bomb threats on it.
