A short interactive story for room-scale VR: Become Caliban, the scion of a broken lineage struggling to understand your dark inheritance. Explore the ruins of the family estate, and the incredible realm below seeking clues to your past, and to the events that severed you from your family long ago.
After two days of rest and exploration, we decided we should attempt the shorter but steeper east face of Albatross on July 28. We climbed a few approach pitches between 5.8 and 5.9 before we got into the business of the wall. I took the lead from this point on, through two thuggy pitches of 5.11 R climbing on hollow golden flakes and badly protected traverses. We stopped on a ledge below a large flake when the gear seemed to dry up. After going up and backing off a few times, I saddled up and vision-quested over the blank faces, trending left toward an obvious corner. This traversing pitch got us to the base of a large right-facing corner, the first 35m of which was fun 5.10+ dihedral climbing, with small placements dug from the dirt-filled cracks on the left side. However, at around 35m, I came upon a blockage of flakes that had fallen in just the right way to precariously bridge themselves between the two walls of the dihedral. As I had put our last belay directly below the base of the corner, I decided to bail off a pair of nuts rather than set off this cannon shot with the team sitting just inside the barrel. Three 70m rappels took us to a ledge that would take us to the ground.
We now felt warmed up enough to make an attempt on a major objective, and on Sunday, July 29,we turned our gaze to the unclimbed east face of Caliban. On the far left side of the east face, the first thousand feet would be low angle slabs, leading to a fifteen hundred foot headwall. Like our previous route on Caliban, we used another shallow ridge system move through the slabs and approach the face. A few roped pitches and a couple hundred meters of 4th- and easy 5th-class took us to the base of the headwall. This began with two easy pitches, between 5.7 and 5.8, on stellar rock, following corners and splitter cracks to a good belay ledge. The next two 50m pitches up the headwall featured superb 5.10 face climbing past good gear and long splitter cracks, which took us to a belay below an obvious right-trending chimney and corner system.
For our descent, we made two 70m rappels into the gully behind the ridge we climbed. Three more rappels down the gully got us into the next gully system over (we believe this is the gully that was climbed by Norm Larson and Lorna Corson in 1993, see AAJ 1995), which took us to the ground.
While sitting at one of the final ledges on the ridge of the M.M.M. and watching the last light of the sunset play across the expanse of granite around me, I felt a sense of being in a place I had always dreamed of being in. While I began my climbing career as a gym and comp climber, I had always seen the act of free climbing big walls in the alpine as the epitome of climbing. The hard moves, long pitches, and the omnipotence of the mountains felt like a culmination. I had a feeling of profound appreciation for the opportunity to be there and ecstatic anticipation for where I was going. While I had realized a dream, I recognized that this was only the beginning of many more adventures to come.
Mortimer admired Salvator Rosa, absorbed aspects of his dramatic style, and sought British equivalents for his poetic subjects. This etching comes from a series devoted to leading Shakespearean characters, based on drawings exhibited at the Society of Artists in 1775. Merging the seventeenth-century genres of the character head and tte d'expression (expressive head), Mortimer's designs also incorporate aspects of history painting to convey the Bard's dramatic range. Attracted to tragic figures, the artist here portrays Caliban, the offspring of a witch, whom Prospero and Miranda befriend when first exiled to a remote island in "The Tempest." The figure's demonic fingers and goat-like ears point to the lustful nature that drove him to try to rape of Miranda, although his human torso, and lines of engraved text below the image, elicit our sympathy:
"Do not torment me prithee
I'll bring my wood home faster."
(The Tempest, act 2, scene 2)
There are several print editions, also. Its first publisher, Autonomedia, offers it for US $16, and there is now a new Penguin edition for 10.99 at Bookshop.org. That latter option might also be the best for EU-based readers.
As I announced late last year, I\u2019m beginning an occasional series here at From The Forests of Arduinna where we\u2019ll read a book together and discuss it over several posts. The first book I\u2019ve chosen for this is Silvia Federici\u2019s Caliban & The Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation.
Starting next month, I\u2019ll post a series of essays discussing the book, spaced apart to give everyone a chance to read the relevant chapters I\u2019m covering. Each of these essays will include a short summation of the chapters, but will also be expansions on the topics she discusses, as well as notes I think might help readers understand more.
There are really two ways of thinking about modern capitalist life within \u201Cleftism.\u201D The first, which is what we might call techno-utopianism or utopian socialism, embraces all the disruptive technological \u201Cadvances\u201D of capitalism while imagining that we can just re-arrange society so that everyone benefits equally from it. This is the kind of \u201Cleftism\u201D most common in the United States and the United Kingdom, and is very often identitarian. The DSA, Jacobin, \u201Csolarpunk\u201D anarchists, much of the Antifa hierarchy, the \u201Cleft-wing\u201D of the Democratic Party, and transhumanists and \u201Cfamily-abolitionists\u201D like Sophie Lewis are all part of this tendency.
The second kind of leftism, on the other hand, is highly critical of capitalist technology and the deep alienation that capitalism creates. Rather than constantly proposing future technologies that might one day save us from capitalist exploitation and environmental collapse, it insists that the way of fighting capitalism is recovering and reclaiming our humanity, our connection to body and land, and our older forms of social and economic life. The de-growth movement, eco-feminism, indigenous resistance groups such as the Zapatistas, land-access struggles and anti-development movements\u2014especially in the Global South\u2014are all part of this tendency, and so am I.
That\u2019s why Silvia Federici\u2019s Caliban & The Witch is so important. Usually, the transition from pre-capitalist social arrangements to capitalist ones is presented as an act of progress, a \u201Cliberation\u201D of primitive peasants from life on the land into the enlightenment of urban subjectivity. Even many socialists narrate the Enclosures and the displacement of peoples as a moment of progress, or, if critical, still present it as a necessary transition. Federici, on the other hand, insists these transitions were part of a larger capitalist project of alienation that continues today.
Depending on the edition, Caliban & The Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation is between 200-240 pages long, and it is divided into five chapters. While Federici\u2019s writing is quite straightforward, she references many ideas that will probably be new to many readers, especially if they\u2019ve not read similar books before.
Silvia Federici published Caliban & The Witch under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA) license, allowing it to be freely copied and distributed, provided it\u2019s not done so for profit. So, if you do not mind reading digitally, you can download free digital versions (pdf, epub, kindle) at this link.
There are several print editions, also. Its first publisher, Autonomedia, offers it for US $16, and there is now a new Penguin edition for \u00A3 10.99 at Bookshop.org. That latter option might also be the best for EU-based readers.
Also, the essays for this edition of the book club will all be public, since it\u2019s an extremely important book. That being said, if you\u2019d like to support my work as a paid subscriber, all levels of paid subscription are 20% off until the end of February (use the link below for that).
Yes, this is yet another "Caliban Rework Topic" but most of you prob have no idea who Caliban is either. This rework focuses entirely on Caliban's current kit and gives them a facelift to get up to standard for the current meta that we have in-game, so don't expect brand-new powers here. (Note: I did this in MS Paint, so you'll have to forgive how terrible it looks)
Lethal Progeny: Is now his 1st power and is no longer limited by Duration, the Sentients will remain until Death or cast away, Lethal Progeny now also works similarly to Ivara's Cycle power that allows players to pick what Sentient buddy to have at a time, each sentient buddy has their own "power" that comes with them that supports Caliban, allowing for players to pick and choice for the correct playstyle.
I could get down with changing (read, removing) his 1, having Lethal progeny to unlimited duration and only limited to the Sentients life, as well as being able to summon different types. Those different types shouldn't be giving different buffs though, as then only 1 type is ever going to be used.
I highly disagree with Sentient Wrath and adding overguard on him in general. That then invalidates Lethal progenys current synergy. Lethal Progenys best aspect, is the fact it'll forcably recharge your shields provided you have even just 1 left over. This combos perfectly with Brief Respite/Augur Mods and Shield Gating. This is Calibans survivability and it works incredibly well. Changing that to overguard just removes that synergy in his kit to his build which is honestly, quite awesome to use!
