Cubedebate: ¿Cuál ha sido vuestro rol más terrorífico?

Gracias a las pocos que habéis querido participar, incluso a aquellos que han enviado sus comentarios fuera de plazo; esto último es culpa de mi dejadez por haber dado el cierre.

Eso sí, como prometí, voy a contar una historia de terror. Una muy sencillita y sin mucha moralina. De las que no tienen sustos forzados y, desde luego, tampoco mensajes complicados. Eso sí, el tipo de gore que me gusta no es apto para pieles finas, tampoco para los que no aceptan que existen opiniones válidas más allá de las suyas propias. Autocrítica y aceptación: sin duda, una combinación terrorífica para muchos.

------------------------------------------

Érase una vez una generación de frikis afortunados. Que tuvieron la suerte de heredar los pastos más verdes y las aguas más limpias. Que eran pocos, pero distaban de estar solos. Fueron agraciados con los mejores maestros: hombres y mujeres pacientes y sabios que sabían enseñar a amar lo que ellos amaban.

Pero como siempre en las buenas historias, la paz no puede durar mucho: los tiempos cambiaron. La tormenta digital se desató sobre el mundo y los trolls dejaron de vivir bajo los puentes. Había llegado el tiempo de la inmediatez. Y los ingenuos frikis, que se habían criado entre oscuras estanterías abarrotadas de arcanos grimorios, no supieron reaccionar. No supieron ser maestros de sus nuevos aprendices.

No supieron enseñar a amar la lectura y la escritura a aquellas juventudes que, formadas en tiempos más rápidos y diferentes, vivían de otras maneras. A otros ritmos. Su mente corría y divagaba tan rápida como Twitter y TikTok, y un pesado y polvoriento volumen repleto de trasfondo y reglas se les hacía lento, lento y tedioso. ¿Y cómo enseñar a alguien que no quiere usar las únicas herramientas que conoces? El resultado era tan predecible como fatídico: no pudieron.

Y los tiempos, que no esperan a nadie, seguían avanzando. Y los viejos aventureros se iban retirando como es horrible ley de vida, y los nuevos seguían corriendo aventuras a su nueva manera: sin leer ni escribir. En un mundo diferente, en que un foro de un año era un foro viejo, y en que menos de 1.000 palabras eran un trasfondo vasto y elaborado. Y la entropía, que había plantado su semilla, ganó terreno. Y cada vez morían muchos más foros de los que nacían, y los que nacían lo hacían enfermos de muerte y no duraban nada. Y los pocos viejos que aún quedaban se resguardaban en sus antiguas cuevas mientras afuera, los jóvenes lo veían normal. El mundo cambiaba y el rol, aunque no iba a morir nunca, sí veía llegar tiempos más oscuros.

Quizás como al principio. Porque un hogar oscuro y pequeño puede también ser más acogedor y agradable. Tener más personalidad. O quizás era una simple excusa para no pensar en que, al ritmo que las cosas iban, cuando sus velas se apagaran, no quedaría nadie dispuesto a encenderlas. Las instrucciones de las cajas de cerillas eran abominablemente largas y tediosas, después de todo.

---------------------------------------------------

Esto no es un post de rol, pero tiene más trasfondo que muchos foros. ¿Terrorífico, verdad? =)

Denton Greenbelt Debacle Update

While my motivation is nearing its all-time low, a place I left it not so long ago for sweet Texas Gulf Coast salt, I still have a duty to report what tidbits come my way. And believe me, they are tidbits.

The Week That Was: Big Brother Finale, Maryland Basketball Upset, and the State of the Music IndustryThis week has been eventful in the world of entertainment, with the finale of the popular reality show Big Brother, a surprising upset in Maryland Basketball, and ongoing discussions about the state of the music industry. Let's take a closer look at these topics:Big Brother FinaleAfter months of drama, alliances, and unexpected twists, Big Brother is finally coming to an end this week. Fans have been eagerly anticipating the finale, which will determine the winner of the $500,000 prize. The show has been a rollercoaster of emotions, with contestants forming alliances, backstabbing each other, and strategizing to stay in the game. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top and how the season will be remembered.Maryland Basketball UpsetIn a shocking turn of events, the Maryland Basketball team suffered a defeat at the hands of Davidson in a close game this week. The loss came as a surprise to many fans and experts, as Maryland was considered a strong contender. Despite the setback, the team has shown resilience throughout the season and will undoubtedly bounce back from this defeat. It serves as a reminder that in sports, anything can happen, and no team is invincible.The State of the Music IndustryThe music industry has been a topic of discussion for years, with many artists and industry insiders expressing concerns about the impact of pay to play practices. Pay to play refers to the practice of artists or their representatives paying a fee to secure a spot on a concert lineup or to receive airplay on radio stations. This has led to concerns about the quality and diversity of music being promoted, as well as the financial burden placed on artists.While pay to play has been a longstanding issue, recent events have brought it back into the spotlight. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the music industry, with live shows and tours being canceled or postponed. This has put even more pressure on artists to find alternative ways to generate income and reach their audience.Being a Dead HeadOne of the most enduring fan communities in the music world is that of the Grateful Dead, known as Dead Heads. The Grateful Dead, with their unique blend of rock, folk, and improvisational music, have captured the hearts of millions of fans around the world. Being a Dead Head is more than just being a fan; it's a way of life. Dead Heads are known for their dedication, their love of live music, and their sense of community.Finally, let's not forget the upcoming Pollstar Awards nominations, which honor the best in the live entertainment industry. The nominations are eagerly awaited by artists, promoters, and fans alike, as they recognize excellence in concert tours, festivals, and venues. It's an exciting time for the industry, and we can't wait to see who will be recognized for their outstanding contributions.

Prices continue to rise even while interest rates hold near 4%.

Demand is overheated vs Supply. Supply takes years to correct.

Demand can be reduced with the stroke of a pen:

Simply reduce the immigration intake which has been supercharged over the past year and cancel visas for the half of the people who have arrived...

UNTIL this government and any that follows - have actually addressed the supply problem.

The immediate fix is not politically popular - but is the only way to address this issue in the near term.

Single Review: Debacle – Flashing Lights

Debacle are a New York City based seven piece outfit made up of Dan Gardner on Guitar, Brendon Gardner on Bass, Andrew Marden on Keyboard, Zach Cubias on Trumpet, Alan Norton on Trombone, Dylan Balsamo on Vocals and Marc Norton on Drums. Debacle originally emerged as a group of friends in the New Jersey Ska-Punk scene, but have since broadened and shifted their genre, allowing for a free flow of creativity and passion that informs all of their music. Today, I will be reviewing their single ‘Flashing Lights’ which was released on October 16th 2022.

‘Flashing Lights’ opens up with some fun, light vocal runs that merge with a jaunty melody that fleshes out as the track continues. I really like Dylan’s voice, it’s sharp and melodic, with enough range to meet both highs and lows. I like the energy of this track, the peaks and falls, the fast and slow, it’s a nice, well balanced track that’s really catchy and sticks in your head. I like how subtle the percussion is at times, people often think of drums as powerful, and imposing, but sometimes like this they can be used to create a nice audio texture and beat, without being overpowering.

Denton Greenbelt Sees No Greenbacks

The City of Denton was recently awarded an almost $11-million grant from Texas Department of Transportation. The question is: Why does the Denton Greenbelt waterway continue to be ignored as a recreational outlet, and a great one, for the City and County of Denton. And ALL OF IT for this one project alone? Let’s hire some more people, do some studies, and … it’ll be all gone. To me? It looks like…
