Fancy playing Fallout 4 with puncture-resistant lungs, armour built into your skin and hard-wired reflexes? Then you might be into a new mod that adds cybernetic implants to the RPG. It looks impressively fleshed out, and could meaningfully change the way you play.
RD-Technologies Cybernetic Implants doesn't just give you special powers right off the bat: it's designed to be something of a treasure hunt in which you first buy modules from traders, track down blueprints for the implants and then find the ingredients you need to craft them.

 

Somebody has turned the famous dancing baby GIF into a Quake sprite, and why not?
https://www.pcgamer.com/somebody-has-turned-the-famous-dancing-baby-gif-into-a-quake-sprite-and-why-not/
1996: the year of both classic FPS Quake and of the famous viral video of a dancing virtual baby, which spawned an equally famous GIF that was emailed across offices around the world. Joshua Skelton, lead artist on first-person rogue-like Delver, has now combined the two.
As he says in the tweet, it's not all about getting the babies into the game: he's creating a tool to convert GIFs into in-game sprites. It's apparently quite simple to pull off. "I just renamed baby.spr to soldier.mdl! The Quake engine treats 2D sprites and 3D meshes (and 3D maps!) generically as models and they can (mostly) be used interchangeably," he says.
