At IKEA like 'man this would be a great name for a Grineer weapon in warframe' like man I'm gonna blast them with my Twin Skubbs then hack them up with my Skuffen and Gribbol and if they get too far away I'll just splode them with my Frakta Wraith or something

Track Premiere: Rapture Addict – Leper Colony

Today we have the extreme pleasure of premiering a track from the upcoming self-titled release by Leper Colony, a death metal band featuring vocalist Marc Grewe (Morgoth), drummer Jon Skäre (Consumption), and the one and only Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Furnace, Those Who Bring the Torture, and over forty other bands actively releasing albums) on guitar and bass. Their sound is a hook-filled…

First Impressions “The Fifth Season”  by N. K. Jemisin

First Impressions “The Fifth Season”  by N. K. Jemisin I know absolutely nothing about this book, but the title makes me think its going to be an allegory for global warming

Prologue

Well I already broke my own rule, cause I will have to re-read the prologue of this book.

The story begins with a lot of words above my reading level. We are described a world that is not Earth, but extremely Earth-like. The few towns that exist are on the equator. There's a “display only” emperor that hangs out in a pyramid I think? 

We cut to an angry man and his stone wife who he hates. Angry man talks about stone magic, and how much he hates noise, even from his bitch stone wife who makes no sound, which is also bad. Then he…MAKES VOLCANOES BLOW UP AND BLOCK OUT THE SUN?!

This is when I realized that I had checked out, and I was desperately trying to remember what “the stillness” was, or what a “parlance” is. (I think The Stillness is the name of the planet?)

There are floating obelisks, but the people who made them are losers.

The author references “Father Earth,” so you either remember this isn't regular Earth, or to build up to a possible patriarchy later on. It's distinct enough to have value at least.

I am trying to remember the names of the people and towns, which were all introduced in a machine gun faction, but they're slipping out of my brain as fast as they enter. We were introduced to a woman, and introduced to her son, told he was beaten to death, and then the story just moves on. Stone Lore is more of folk tales than magic. And the world is hinted at superstition and racism. They talk about “Rogga,” which I can only assume is this world's version of wizard. 

After the cataclysm, we’re told of a big, torso shaped rock that, over days, pops open, and gives birth to some weird boy. If someone is born out of a rock, you know that they’re magical. Since the we just heard about a random boy getting beat to death, and the prologue ends with the narrator flat out saying that one story ending is another's beginning, I can only assume that stone boy is either A. Dead boy B. Going to be taken care of by mother of dead boy

C. Endlessly compared to others children who have died (in death we find life)

Now I'm going to re -read the prologue

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I might have some severe reading disabilities, because I completely spaced out on the book starting out on a woman holding her dead son's body. There's something about my own brain, and this book's writing style, that lends itself to information not sticking at all.

My current impression of this world is that I can expect amenities that I find on earth (like asphalt) but in low supply. There IS magic in this world, but it is ALSO in low supply.

“Roggas.” [Alabastar] looks at [Syen] and grins, and she realizes he’s been waiting to tell her this. “That’s how they’ve survived all this time. They don’t kill their roggas, here. They put them in charge. And they’re really, really glad to see us.”

I try not to be a hater too much, but I need to get this take off my chest. I've been holding it in for too long. The latest Gatecreeper album was genuinely insulting to me. One of the worst death metal albums I've ever heard from a newer reputable death metal band. I was never much into them anyways so it's not like it's a huge loss to me, as I always found them inoffensive at best, but this latest record? It's on the level of the average Rogga Johansson record.

Pure Fucking Hell  #2    

[genspiel]

"I didn't know." She slurs the words around the back of her hand. The words don't make sense but she feels compelled to say them. "I didn't." "You think that matters?" It's almost cruel, the emotionlessness of his voice and face. "It matters to me!" "You think you matter?" All at once he smiles. It's an ugly thing, cold as the vapor that curls off ice. "You think any of us matter beyond what we can do for them? Whether we obey or not." He jerks his head toward the body of the abused, murdered child. "You think he mattered, after what they did to him? The only reason they don't do this to all of us is because we're more versatile, more useful, if we control ourselves. But each of us is just another weapon, to them. Just a useful monster, just a bit of new blood to add to the breeding lines. Just another fucking rogga." She has never heard so much hate put into one word before.

If life were easy, and not so fast / I wouldn’t think about the past

Here’s a real low-quality video of Phish playing “Roggae” at the Gorge in 2011. It was my third of god-knows-how-many shows I’ve seen. Simpler times. I miss the Gorge. That’s all.
