    Rodion, Raskolnikov, Limbus. The literary origin(s) of a statuesque axe murderer

    РАСКО́Л Another deep dive into the doleful denizens of Limbus Company's bus. Although in this case we are dealing with a feverishly cheerful and multifarious (I have a feeling I'm going to abuse that adjective) individual, set free from their mind body and spirit-bindings. Let's not forget Sonya, hy0umon of negotiable affection-flipped freedom fighter. Let us cling to the needles that pierce the flesh of our shared reality.

    Gregor, Kafka, Limbus. An inquiry into Gregor Samsa(ra), and the parallels between sinner and salaryman

    "If anyone’s doing the heavy lifting, it’d be us... Hey! Manager Bud! More incoming!" In this episode, I take a look at suffering and redemption in The Metamorphosis, philosophical pessimism, and how Gregor in Limbus Company might be Georg Bendeman, the happiest Gregor yet, or even Kafka himself. Reincarnation is a heck of a thing. Plus of course the traditional (I've done it three, now it's definitely a tradition) interlude dub!
