https://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-outer-worlds-was-a-critical-and-commercial-success-sales-exceeded-expectations/
During its Q2 financial report, Take-Two announced that The Outer Worlds was a critical and commercial success. The company also stated that the game’s sales exceeded expectations, something that will definitely please all Obsidian fans out there.
Unfortunately, Take-Two did not reveal a specific number for the game’s sales, or sale percentages per platform. As such, we don’t know how successful the PC version was.
In similar news, Take-Two revealed that Borderlands 3 reached seven million total sales. Again, the company did not reveal any platform-specific sales. Furthermore, Grand Theft Auto 5 has sold over 115 million copies.

Valve might be working on “Steam Cloud Gaming”
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/valve-might-be-working-on-steam-cloud-gaming/
It seems that Valve might be working on a competitor for Google Stadia. Based on the SteamDatabase/SteamTracking information found on github the Steam Games partner portal page contains the following line of code:

Of course nothing is certain at this point but after the recent news of Valve and EA working together, it could very well be true. This streaming service could possibly be Valve’s response to Google Stadia, PlayStation Now, Xbox Cloud Streaming, GeForce Now and others.

https://www.dsogaming.com/news/new-alot-mod-for-mass-effect-1-2-and-3-improves-14000-textures-in-total-brings-new-4k-textures/
Modder ‘CreeperLava’ has released a brand new version of his ALOT Texture Pack for the first three Mass Effect games. According to the modder, the new version of ALOT packs a completely new, massive overhaul of the game’s static lighting textures.
Moreover, this new version of ALOT improves the game’s pre-rendered lights and shadows (lamps, shadows under objects, and more). Furthermore, it improves 14,000 textures in total across all 3 games of the trilogy.
The modder has also added new 4K textures for all of Shepard’s N7 armors in ME2 and ME3. He also added 4K textures for the squad selection screen and the sky. Not only that, but there are 200 high quality environment textures.
It’s also worth noting that ALOT Version 2020.10.0 comes with high resolution textures for facial hair (beards, eyebrows). It also improves the Galaxy map texture, the Omega holograms, and Liara’s alternate outfit.

Red Dead Redemption 2 trainer lets you play as an eagle, wolf, or any other model in the game
https://www.pcgamer.com/red-dead-redemption-2-trainer/
Traveling Red Dead Redemption 2's expansive map on horseback is great, but wouldn't it be nice to have a bird's eye view of the world? Literally? A trainer for RDR2 singleplayer has arrived, and it lets you switch from Arthur's boring human body into an eagle, a wolf, and (with a bit of file editing), any other model in the game. (...) If you understand the risks, here's how it works. You can find Lenny's Simple Trainer here. Download the files and install them in the game's root directory. When you start up Red Dead Redemption 2, you'll hear a few loud beeps, which indicate the trainer is installed. Once you launch into your singleplayer game, pressing F7 will turn you into an eagle, and F8 will turn you into a wolf.
