  • Piracy wizards may teach you a homing missile spell of linking a magnet to someone and then sending a torrent of bits and pieces their way.

    Lightning wizards can teach you how systematically shocking your minions should to some extent boost their efficiency in the same amount of time. They call it ‘over clocking’.

    And ‘distributed denial of service’ or ‘dedossery’, is a mastery of wizards who are just pissed, means sending a ton of said minions to one particular shitty tavern, ordering something and walking away en masse.






  • He was a prolific burglar, terrorist, extortionist and even pirate whose acts of expropriation supported both the ongoing operations in Russia and vacations of the likes of Lenin. A bloody bastard himself, he was very, intoxicatingly dedicated. And this trait goes through all of his life.

    These weren’t Gulags, not even by the dates - as they got organized under Stalin - but by the principle. It was a send-over to some remote region, just like Gulags, but that wasn’t like a project of building BAM or factories most of the time, or even working. It was a pretty liberal (compared to a prison cell) containment but in a place that you can’t easily leave, usually close to some settlement in the middle of nowhere. There are gossips about young Koba fucking around in them or living autonomously even from the guards. It was probably more of a hard sentence before, but by the 1910s no one gave a fuck. It was, though, compensated by him getting sent to the most brutal of these in the end, yet, he managed to live on his own terms there and prepare for escape as best as he could.

    Gulags, or working concentration camps, were way more brutal. No gas chambers, just a rolled back strictness of the regime and inhumane conditions, demands, and a better control over transportation, ID checks, meaning even Stalin could’ve had troubles getting into St. Petersburg like he did since every bedbug is counted and has papers, unlike an escaping georgian with a long history of violence.

    TL;DR: for me it’s current russian warsongs and covers of 80-90s classics that put the opposite meaning into them. Polina Gagarina, Shaman are the most known artists due to being banned from YT, but there are dozens of them. What and why - I’d try to explain in following paragraphs.

    They don’t feel either inspired or honest, most of the worthy artists don’t want that mark in their resume so it’s left either for newbie artists or oldies who fear they are losing relevance. The western-in-everything ‘Я русский’ is the only catchy tune local media empires could produce, others are even more cringe like ‘333’, they don’t even compare to what repressed guys did and do.

    Surprisingly, the same notion is shared with my relatives who do support the war (unlike me) or at least our men there. We still have a tradition of singing along the songs of old over the table when we meet with our elders, or over the fire if camping or meeting in the countryside, mostly soviet songs with inclusion of 90-00s. And itso happens there’s none of the promoted ones in the menu.

    But that also tracks with the concerts on the TV we sometimes put on. It’s all older stuff by mostly aging artists. The contemporary russian music culture, as I suppose, was castrated by some sort of negative selection and I can’t think otherwise.

    And what is really embarassing for me personally to hear is appropriation of songs that are either anti-war or asking for changes (namely KINO’s ones) sang in this day and this year by those who support both the regime and the war on state TV. That’s like this one republican guy just one hair width from discovering what RatM’s songs are about. There’s some second-hand shame you want to wash off in a bathroom right after hearing.
