A purported professional comedian who "pays his mortgage" through comedy gigs...and all he had to do was take a joke. Instead of just letting people goof on him he, by his own admission, abused the DMCA process to shut down constitutionally protected free speech and parody. for anyone around during the early reddit DMCA shell game, he had DMCAd drawings of his instagram and twitter. Not only does he not own the copyright to his instagram photos once uploaded (not sure if that changed but it was the case at the time) , he claimed copyright to this obvious satirical representation.

Imagine being such an abject loser you claim copyright to drawings of you. "Why us?"

Right outta college, I worked for a company that had some business dealings in the CCG and board game space. Every year, they sent two vans of people/merchandise to GenCon. The super nerdy people would beg to go and the normal people begged not to. One year, a young woman who I friendly with in the office was forced to go and described the event as pure hell and that the smell of the attendants didn't leave her nostrils for weeks.

This is the kind of event Fat feels most at home at.

I went to a nerd convention in Chicago this weekend to buy and sell some shit. I genuinely had 30 minutes of existential crisis. This is what I’m doing with my life? I choose to be here and around these people?
Conventions were kind of fun 20+ years ago when it was lower key and legitimate nerds and fans engaging with likeminded folks and buying and selling rare shit. Now it's 100 vendors selling the same mass produced shit, professional cosplay chicks looking for instagram fame, giant corporations and midwits with no kid or greedy dimwits like Pat.

No doubt Pat was giggly and intoxicated from the aroma of all the unwashed nerd ball sweat floating in the air. His favorite scent.
