Enter the Gungeon is free this week on the Epic Store
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/enter-the-gungeon-is-free-this-week-on-the-epic-store/
Another Thursday, another free PC game. Following short on the heels of Kingdom: New Lands, this week the Epic Store has Enter the Gungeon by Dodge Roll studios on offer for the same price as a free toaster. For the unfamiliar, the Epic Store has a partnership program with developers in which a new free game is on offer every week.

This game is yours to try and/or keep until the 20th of June when the next free game, Rebel Galaxy, will premier. We will be sure to post a reminder, and you can find the link to the Epic Store here.

On the Humble Store there's a City Builder Weekend sale with up to 93% discounts for the next 3 days on games that aren't just about building cities. Sure, you'll be able to find games like Cities Skylines or Surviving Mars, but also Age of Empires 2, Two Point Hospital, Planet Coaster and more! https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/city-builder-weekend/

Steam In-Home Streaming is now available outside the home
https://www.pcgamer.com/steam-in-home-streaming-is-now-available-outside-the-home/
Steam In-Home Streaming, which lets you stream Steam games between devices that share a network, has "experimentally" been unshackled and is now available outside the home, too. Given the change, it's got a new name, Steam Remote Play, and you can try it out now.
As long as both devices you're running Steam on have a good connection and are close to a Steam datacentre, you should be able to stream games between each other wherever they are. You'll probably still want a wired connection, though. Even with a 5GHz router, I've found playing flashier games over wi-fi comes with too many concessions.

Fallout California – unofficial prequel mod to New Vegas – Version 2.2.1 available for download, optimizes performance
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/fallout-california-unofficial-prequel-mod-to-new-vegas-version-2-2-1-available-for-download-optimizes-performance/
The team behind Fallout California, an unofficial prequel mod to Fallout: New Vegas, has released a brand new version of it. In case you weren’t aware of, this mod adds a brand new campaign that players can launch from the main menu.
Fallout: New California features a huge world (around 2/3rd the size of Fallout: New Vegas’ map), offers from 6-8 hours to 15-30 hours of new gameplay, and packs 13 ending. Furthermore, this mod sports 16942 lines of dialogue (14877 of which are voiced by characters and non-repeating from 60 volunteer voice actors), new textures and meshes, and 48 main quests.
Version 2.2.1 improves overall performance by optimizing Landscape normals from uncompressed to DXT1, optimizing some LOD textures and cut LOD atlas to half its previous size, making LOD for large pieces at Angel Breakers, reducing lighting and graphics load in The Father’s den, and reducing lighting load around Union City.
>> Available from Nexus Mods.

Total War collides with Mortal Kombat in this Medieval 2 mod
https://www.pcgamer.com/total-war-collides-with-mortal-kombat-in-this-medieval-2-mod/
The Mortal Kombat universe, now that I'm forced to think about it, is a surprisingly fertile setting for some Total War. You've got memorable factions with lots of distinct traits, constantly shifting allegiances and several realms where the most popular occupation seems to be 'martial artist'. Mortal Kombat Konquest TW should fit right in.
It's a Mortal Kombat overhaul mod for Medieval 2, from modder Kirukato. They posted some work-in-progress videos last year and this month announced plans for it, along with some new screenshots.
