SALES & "SALES"/DEALS

Star Wars: Episode I Racer soars onto GOG
https://www.pcgamer.com/star-wars-episode-1-racer-soars-onto-gog/
Star Wars Day is this Friday. And while that normally prompts a grumble from me about being force-fed dodgy date-related puns on social media, I'd much rather talk about how GOG has added 1999's Star Wars Episode I: Racer to its storefront. It's live now alongside a pretty comprehensive Star Wars sale.
Which is great news. Particularly given the fact Star Wars Episode I: Racer was, before now, GOG's most requested SW game on its Community Wishlist.

>>The game is 15% off: https://www.gog.com/game/star_wars_episode_i_racer, and you can check the rest of the Star Wars sale over here.

The other deal from GOG is the daily deal. Dungeon Rats, almost 50% off: https://www.gog.com/game/dungeon_rats

 

Get Ryse, Sniper, Homefront, and Cryengine assets in the new Humble Cryengine Bundle
https://www.pcgamer.com/get-ryse-sniper-homefront-and-cryengine-assets-in-the-new-humble-cryengine-bundle/
The Humble Cryengine Bundle is an interesting mix of games, and resources that could help you make games. The $1 entry tier gets you Rolling Sun, Aporia: Beyond the Valley, and The Land of Pain, all games; and Cryengine V Samples, Cryengine Webinar Training Videos, and the Crysis 3 Animation Pack—not the game, the assets. Crysis 3, sadly, is not part of this package.

>>Oddly enough, no Crysis game is included in the bundle (could it be because of the EA/Steam feud?)

Meanwhile, in the Humble Store, there are another three sales:

• 1C Company is the featured publisher in the weekly sale: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/1c-publisher-sale/
• GTA V is also on sale, 50% off: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/rockstar-sale/
• And there's also a Star Wars sale, up to 66% off: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/star-wars-may-the-4th-sale/

 

If we check Steam, we see the following deals:

• FEZ is the daily deal, 80% off: https://store.steampowered.com/app/224760/FEZ/
• Mortal Kombat X is one of the Midweek Madness deals, 66% off: https://store.steampowered.com/app/307780/Mortal_Kombat_X/
• The Crew is the other Midweek Madness deal, 75% cheaper than usual: https://store.steampowered.com/app/241560/The_Crew/
• Aerosoft is having a publisher sale: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/aerosoft/
• Last, but not least, of course there's also a Star Wars sale on Steam! Check it out here.

 

There's only one store left to talk about, Fanatical, that so far does NOT have a Star Wars sale. Maybe they're saving it for the actual May 4th. What they have, tho, is a THQ Nordic sale: https://www.fanatical.com/en/publishers/thq-nordic

MODS/EMULATORS

This Fallout 4 mod gives you one chance to retrieve your items from your corpse after you die
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-fallout-4-mod-gives-you-one-chance-to-retrieve-your-items-from-your-corpse-after-you-die/
If death doesn't have enough meaning for you in Fallout 4, this mod will encourage you to respectfully mourn every time you're battered apart by a deathclaw. In OW3Nx25's Death Matters (get it on Nexus here), each time you die you have to retrieve every non-quest item from your corpse, wherever you left it. Upon respawning, you take on the role of a settler from your nearest settlement—or Sanctuary, if there aren't any suitable settlements nearby.
