Epic Games Store gets innovative new 'add to cart' feature
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/epic-games-store-gets-innovative-new-add-to-cart-feature/
Epic Games Store launched in an extremely barebones state in 2018, but ever since, Epic Games has slowly added new functionality to the digital shopfront. Most recently, it got Achievements, and at some unspecified time in the future it'll be getting its own Discord-like party chat service.
Today's new update isn't as electrifying as either of those, but it is undeniably useful: Epic Games Store now has an 'add to cart' feature. For those who have never added anything to a cart before, this means you can now buy (or redeem for free, as is normally the case on the Epic Games Store) multiple titles in a single transaction, simply by adding them all to your cart, and then checking out.

Keanu Reeves on players modding Cyberpunk 2077 to have sex with him: 'It's always nice when it's nice.'
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/keanu-reeves-on-players-modding-cyberpunk-2077-to-have-sex-with-him-its-always-nice-when-its-nice/
Someone finally put the big question to Keanu Reeves, and wow did he have an answer. As part of the promotion around the release of The Matrix Awakens he and Carrie-Anne Moss spoke to the Verge on a range of topics and, at the end, talk turned to Cyberpunk 2077—specifically, the sex mods involving Keanu's character Johnny Silverhand, which developer CDPR does not like one bit.
Reeves says he hasn't yet tried out the game himself: "I've seen demonstrations but I've never played it." The Verge's Alex Heath then asks if Reeves was aware that players were modifying the game and his character was the most-requested sex mod.
"Yes! Oh my god: It's always nice when it's nice," says Reeves.
