Hanged, Drawn, and Quartered
The penalty for high treason in England, to be hanged, drawn and quartered was a common occurrence during medieval times. Although it was abolished in 1814, this form of execution was responsible for hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of deaths.
First, the victim is dragged on a wooden frame, called a hurdle, to the place of the execution.
Second, the victim is hanged by the neck for a short period of time until nearly dead (hanged).
Third, the disembowelment and castration occur, where afterward, the entrails and genitalia are burned in front of the victim (drawn).
Finally, the body is divided into four separate parts and beheaded (quartered).

If you want a good example of someone being hanged, drawn, and quartered watch the end of the movie Braveheart.

Post Horizon Zero Dawn depression
The feeling that hits, and eventually engulfs one, after they finish the game: Horizon Zero Dawn.
This mainly is due to the fact that the world of Horizon Zero Dawn is so immersive that a person loses themselve in it.
Finishing the game, and not knowing how long one has to wait for a potential sequel, makes them not want to play anymore.
It is not helped by the fact that no other world, coupled with its beautifully detailed ambience will ever come close to providing the perfect experience.
This leads to a type of depression, which eventually leads to a person putting his gaming career on an indefinite hold, until the sequel is released.
