Patrick’s Christmas Day 2023 is the most depressing thing I’ve ever witnessed

[RickReternal]

It wouldn't surprise me if he took a quick trip to whatever physical bookstore is still open in Milwaukee to buy these for himself. They're weirdly self-serving presents that "promote" his upcoming novel and hot sauce.

Otherwise, what a lazy gift. Yo dawg I heard you wrote a sequel to A Christmas Carol so I bought you A Christmas Carol to celebrate you finishing it!

He bought them a few days ago.

When was the last time she was seen in a photo? No loving Christmas selfie?

Hey now, she's going to divorce him any day now! The chaperone probably didn't want the photo taken!

Wanna see a photoshop of Patrick but even fatter?!

I’m pretty sure most readers use kindles and don’t read physical books anymore. My father is in his 60s and hasn’t opened a physical book in years - everything he reads is through the kindle.

Looked up the books, the hot sauce one is 117 pages and mostly charts/photos. The Christmas Carol one is 48 pages so it's been heavily abridged. Nice of Nikki to buy him things that fit his reading level.

Brewers opener is to my knowledge the last non-media tour image containing Patrick and Niki. (He also posted tedious pictures of his hands holding leaves and flowers but those obviously don’t count.) The full-size was too big to post here so enjoy this edit instead.

I just read something to the contrary about this recently. Physical books still dominate sales by something like 3:1 vs e-books.

I don’t even know if he even likes Star Wars that much, he just wants everyone to know he’s a big fan because it’s part of his “personality” because these books I can’t see even big fans buying. It’s like he does this to brag he’s the biggest fan.

He was a Star Trek guy until he decided to LARP as a macho man, now he doesn't bring it up as much because he realizes Star Trek fans are unfuckable nerds whereas Star Wars fans are just embarrassing manchildren.

That’s interesting, I guess people still want to have bookshelves full of books. My father is a big reader with a pretty large bookshelf but also doesn’t like “clutter” so he reads everything now on the kindle.

Also interesting that Pat claims to make so much from e-sales yet physical books sell more and we’ve seen those awful numbers.

That's one of the biggest parts of it. Lotta people are collectors. I personally never read a book twice, watch a movie twice, play a game twice, etc...

Too much media gets pumped out every day, I'd rather experience new things than relive old.

I was hoping she got him that “Mr Timothy” book just to goof on her retard of a husband.

Pat doesn’t like to read, I’m sure 90% of the books on his shelf he’s never opened.

They are organized by color. No one who actually reads them and has to put them back would do that.

It's like saying you're a big fan of steak and eating at Applebee's. He doesn't get it. He's a low IQ autistic narcissist.

My wife loves science fiction. She reads tons of science fiction books, watches dumb fuck, low budget Sci Fi channel movies, and loves to play stupid, boring sci fi themed board games. You know what she doesn't give a single fuck about? Star Wars, Star Trek and Dr. Who. That's rube level shit for Sci Fi fans. Real Sci Fi fans like smart, thoughtful shit - thought exercises about what could happen with science and how it could impact real people like her. That's science fiction. Not Ronald Dumpf and space Chilis. Not intersectional feminism projected onto space crabs.

Pat, you're an idiot. You write idiotic shit because you're an idiot. I actually had my wife read In The Black and she thought it was dumb as fuck. She, a person who devours science fiction novels, thought your book stunk. Her specific criticism was that the book felt like it was written by an idiot. Take that to heart if you stumble upon this, you jack ass. You're not a good writer. Crawl back to Target and hope to god they'll rehire you. You're a 45 year old, career bum who radiates ineptitude. Happy New Year, you bum.

Star wars isn't science fiction which explains why he likes it. It's "a western in space". There's no science in the original trilogy. They aren't talking about some extention of the current quantum theories that are unproven but plausible that make the shit possible. It's just magic. It's a fucking space western with fantasy magic.

I've never known anyone as autistically obsessed with the star wars universe as this fat retard. It's garbage intended for children but this waster slurps up every bit of what they pump out.

It'd be one thing if it was Star Wars as George Lucas intended, but this is all post-Lucas Disney garbage he's crazy about.

If i saw any one of the original trilogy movies playing on tv i might flip it on.

I remember Dorling Kindersley books! I had a few...when I was 10. Also, cool ones about how vehicles worked - everything from Spanish galleons to modern tanks. Not pew pew fantasy faggotry

He definitely bought them for himself. His present this year from the Robinsons was avoiding jail time.

This is assuming Niki bought them full price and didn't just find them on a "take a book, leave a book" cart at the library.

He mentioned going to the book store, she gave him a 50 buck gift card a few weeks ago and didn't even see him Christmas.
