You know, it's sad that even Battletech authors managed to realize that there are multiple ways to colonize Venus and this guy can't.

Battletech's solution was effectively: "If Venus lost most of its atmosphere, had lots of comets crash into it, and deployed giant mirrors it would be habitable" and even then it became uninhabitable again after the star league fell. There is no way any of that bullshit is cost effective.

You know if Fatty was a proper sci-fi writer and did any research on how sci-fi cliches changed and developed and grew over time,he would know that back before we knew that all the clouds above Venus was acid sci-fi writers imagined the planet as being a lush rainforest. Because at the time, in the nineteen hundreds, there was a theory that the planets were formed in reverse order from their proximity to the sun — therefore, just as Mars was thought of as a much older world than Earth (and a glimpse of our possible future) Venus was believed to be a younger planet, with all the humidity and heat of our world's distant past. As we know young Earth was a temperate steaming rainforest filled with giant insects and ancient old trees and incredible life. It would be more interesting writing the colonisation of that kind of world, a global alien rainforest than dealing with an utterly lifeless featureless rock with incredible gravity and acid rain.
As a sci-fi writer if reality is ever in the way of your ideas you can just change reality to make it fit. Herbert did it with Spice to explain FTL travel in a way that glorified humanity, and human intelligence and how we can all better ourselves and how we don't need to rely on computers and technology if we don't want to. If you're also not a sci-fi writer like me, you can just do shitty 2 second research on tvtropes where I got this information from and learn all this yourself and still understand the genre better than Patrick who does it for a living, allegedly.
But alas, Pat is fat and I would not have sex with him, and Fatrick is far to busy grinding black children down to bother having even a basic understanding of science fiction as a genre and its historical development.

Christ this is the thread I was dreading catching up on the most that's why I left it till last.
A thousand fucking pages since January.
I'm not even surprised.
Pat is like a never ending magic hamper filled with dogshit.
Edit:
Hold up its not a 1000 fucking pages the "first unread" function is fucked.
I'm gonna have to find it by hand ffs.
Edit 2: OK its closer to 350
I guess Pat still sorta fucked me in the ass with his stupidity but I guess at least I got a reacharound.
It's better than a thousand I guess.

Holmes wasn't even America's first serial killer, not by a long shot. But Pat doesn't have the historical knowledge to critique anything he reads, if he's even reading this, which I tend to doubt. Maybe it's what Nikki's book club is going through.

Which is two of the ways that was thought of to do it. The solar shield idea however is the best option along with Japans idea being the cheapest. Your idea of living near the asteroid belt is rather stupid. I'll leave you to figure out why. Though given your lack of understanding science it may take you awhile.

I am only a newly piglightened one, but I very much like Patrick because he reminds me of prime time, pre troon era CWC. Same kind of retard, same kind of shenanigans, VERY volatile responses very reminiscent of early CWC spergouts, and some very talented trolls as well. We even have a new BlueSpike in the form of Josia during ApostleGate.
More importantly, Patrick is the gift that keeps on giving, you're never too far from his latest tweeting spree, a new arc or a new spergout. I very much look forward to laughing at Patrick for many years to come, I hope he won't become stale the moment I start paying attention to him or he gets too mainstream so that weens ruin it for everyone.

What's wrong with Ceres? It has more than enough resources and it doesn't have a strong gravitational pull so you can use it to manufacture more ships cheaply.

Yeah I gotta say the thing I appreciate about Man of Pig is his dedication. The man is relentless. If he put as much effort into his writing as he did to Childing the Stalkers on Xitter he'd make Stephen King look like George Martin.
Pat's a never ending fountain of content. If you're ever bored or depressed even its pretty much a guarantee Pat will have shot himself in the dick a few times since the last time you checked.
Pats timeline is the verbal equivalent of Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons.
Just swap out the Ancient Aliens haircut for bitch tits, the red convertible for the Rustang, and rakes for people on Xitter he thinks are Prongay.

Screw it, I do want to encourage it. Hopefully some OnA pests attend the event!
Imagine how fucking funny it would be to hear Pat butcher the Cockney accent.
IMO that sheer level of funniness supersedes any taboo against alog-encouraging.
Remember when Pat showed off some paragraphs of the book Twitter, it seemingly had Ebenezer Scrooge's lines in something resembling written-out Cockney. Never mind that Charles Dickens did not write the character that way, nor that Scrooge would have no business using that accent as an upper-class dude - it's what Pat associates with Victorian England, and he wasn't gonna be slowed down by such pointless tasks as research or reading the source material!
His writing is cringe, is what I'm saying, so imagine how much more cringe it'll be when he vocalizes it.

Venus was a huge debtors prison in Warframe wasn't it? Thematic.
The lack of gravity is a negative for human habitation, and Ceres has barely any surface gravity. And it has an even higher synodic period than Mars, so launch windows from Earth would be even more infrequent. Honestly this is why I autistically favor Mercury over Mars as the best place for a human outpost.
- Same gravity as Mars
- 6x as much solar power as Earth,
- Reaches inferior conjunction every 116 days
- Extremely metal rich, and has volatiles and ice at the poles
- Has a magnetic field, unlike Venus and Mars

You know, I could see the Japanese societal practice of someone wearing a mask when they're sick with a cold or allergies, but that's on the individual who's not feeling well. That's common sense and courtesy during cold and flu season.
But still requiring masks for COVID in 2024? When most conventions have a "wear one if you feel it necessary" policy? Yikes.

I want to see subtle Patposting that would be unable to make someone get kicked out despite The Hog's squealing,I want to see him nochild live. But alas the funsters attending wouldn't have the IQ to do so I suppose.

^^^^This would be the best troll. When a guy is known for going nuclear immediately, its funnier to slowly needle the pigger. On the other hand, having a half dozen boomers dressed in old school striped prison uniforms in the front row would be pretty good
