[RATM] Fanart that I Drew

These guys are seriously awesome. Holy SHIT.

View attachment 163027
But anyway, It’s been a while.

I’ve been so balls deep in work lately so I’m sorry I wasn’t able to be active last month outside of shitpost status updates. I promise that I’ll try to clear up my schedule over the next couple weeks so I can waste time on here more often and breathe a little (even though I doubt anyone cares).

Anyway, lately my grades have been on the border of D and F, so I have been stapling my balls to the ceiling trying to get homework and late work done so I can pass.
That in combination with my Job and my addiction to hentai has kept me super busy.

Most of my time nowadays is spent in front of school computer doing homework and listening to music.
Of course I mostly listen to Linkin Park, but I also have discovered a new band as well.
This band is called RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE (RATM), and it’s pretty fuckin sick.

Due to all of the shit I have to eat in order to get this work done, there’s always an urge to fight back. This rebellious angst is perfectly soothed by the band.
Listening to RATM is sort of therapeutic and it helps distract me from the fact that I am just another human being trafficked through the system of school, work, and death.

Anyway, when I was feeling particularly edgy, I drew fanart for the band.
Enjoy.

Yeah I know I suck at drawing but fuck that.
I think it looks awesome anyway.

The artwork is supposed to show the destruction of the old system and culture.
And with destruction always brings creation, mind you.

Also for those who don’t know why there’s a flaming (and screaming) ghost thing in the middle, it is supposed to be the Snapchat logo.

I love this band because they not only do they oppose the political establishment, but they also call the societal establishments out on their bullshit as well.
That’s why there is a burning Snapchat logo in the center. It symbolizes the destruction of the slutty and egocentric celebrity culture that Snapchat has glorified.

Sure, the artwork may seem bleak to others but for me it’s a truly joyous sight.

Anyway, I hope you like the art.
Like I said I will be able to post regularly in a couple weeks from now so stay tuned.
In the mean time I’ll just change my status whenever I feel like it I guess.

Welp, until then I suppose.

P.S.: Song of the day is SETTLE FOR NOTHING by RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.

RATM for the win man! To some extent their music is even more relevant today than it was when it was first written. A lot of people simply don't want to hear the truth being told though, because it forces them to confront the fact that we've really done nothing to address these issues for nearly thirty years now.

That whole song is a masterpiece.
It shows how killing in any name is wrong, which is why the title is cut off at “in the name of-“
They condemn killing of any kind, wether it be in the name of God, justice, women’s health, or whatever.
Long live rage

Sometimes I think certain bands are universally know because I feel like they are played everywhere all the time, but sometimes I’m surprised that there are people out there barely discovering these old bands even up in their late 20’s and 30’s. Like Led Zeppelin, RATM, or Metallica. I was listening to them since I was in the womb.

To be fair, Led Zeppelin is probably the most overplayed band of all time.
Nonetheless, the reason why people still discover these old bands is because of the magic of the YouTube recommended feed, my friend.
Or at least that's how I found Rage anyway.

    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And I also have my ps3
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
     +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
