Just want to make sure I have that right. He spoke up so now they are making shit up to try and defame him? Do I have this bullshit right?

        Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. The comment states that they don’t really know Pedro Pascal and can be taken as just funny, absurd and quite neutral.

          I don’t know how to interpret their comment as anything other than funny, absurd, and neutral.

        Cause it’s never stalker (and honesty, who reads stalker?), it’s boring tolstoyevsky stuff, which he listed at top. I just find it funny that I know the guy because of his shit taste in books, I imagine he’s ok otherwise.

          and honesty, who reads stalker?

          Lemme clarify. Roadside Picnic, the book, inspired S.T.A.L.K.E.R the game and its sequel. Some of those devs went on to make Metro 2033. These games in turn inspired more games like Escape from Tarkov, Stalcraft (bleh), Into the Radius (peak), Convrgence, and more recently Gray Zone Warfare. The popularity of Tarkov basically solidified extraction shooters as a genre.

          Fun fact, in GZW you can find copies of Roadside Picnic on tables and shelves in various locations.

          Onto pedro, I looked up the list and there’s 2 russian authors on there, so not really enough to dismiss it as a list of “tolstoyevsky stuff.”
