No Escape Zine Issue 1Locked No Escape Zine Issue 1 May 7 2 Hi y'all, it's been kind of a quiet month for me since the last post on the site, mostly I've just been working on some various back-end projects like moving all my Children of Lightning research into Obsidian and playing some games (that aren't Marathon ) to write about. I've also been playing a lot of Marathon , which has almost perfectly filled the slot Destiny 2 left behind which is not a great thing but was entirely predictable. Anyway, if I don't get anything out about the games I'm currently working through by the end of the week I'll probably do another edition of Reading Walter Benjamin. Hope everyone is having an alright springtime, go outsideArticleMay 7$3 tier & up 0 0
