Today, August 2nd, game magazine Game Informer was revealed to be ending, suddenly. All who worked there appear to have been laid off in the middle of working on their next issue of the magazine. Their website is now just a landing page announcing the end of the magazine, eliminating access to the years of online content, some exclusive to the website.
There are various online efforts to preserve both the digital and physical work done by the many talented people who have been laid off.
Fuck Game Stop, who owns the company.

Towards the end of WW1, the US army researched novel ways of implanting recent technology, like portable radios, into the bodies of wounded soldiers. These became known as the Radioman experiments.
No subject could sustain the machines grafted to them for more than a few days.

Two sepia photographs of a man with radio parts grafted to his face and a breathing apparatus.
Text reads:
"A PROMISING ADVANCEMENT IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY. Photo shows the result of one of the so-called "Radioman" experiments. War-wounded soldiers who were grafted to state-of-the-art crystal radio equipment that would allow them to quickly send and receive signals on the battlefield. The young man in the photo, Frank Myers, lived for 8 more days after it was taken, succumbing to an unexpected sepsis."
C!Athena's voice has a very "I am about to tell you bad news" vibe. Like in any conversation someone has with them, i feel like they(athena) are about to recieve terrible news.
im playing hsr and thinking about belobog. and how after you've completed the quest the eternal freeze stays. Something about how we cant undo the damage. How it is now apart if us. But we can learn to heal, to grow past it. Oughh
