Anteros And Eros
Feb 09, 2020
~ Written by Dave Silva
After a few centuries it’s easy to forget details, like the mischievous nature of some gods. It’s easy to picture Eros, or Cupid if you will, as a portly little boy with wings just a little too small to keep him in the air, firing arrows that inspire love and devotion.

Rippers live and die by their ability to process junk, stolen tech, and salvaged parts. You want to be a Ripper, walking around with your own battlesuit, and freaky alien cannon? You have to start by clearing out the trash, finding the viable parts just like everyone else.

It has been three years since the fatal experiment at the Dyson Turkey labs that gave birth to a twenty five foot tall burning butter spitting Meleagris Gallopavo (Link). After a rampage that saw the bird slip away into the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest national forest many hoped that the nightmare was over. It took years to recover from [...]
