https://www.pcgamer.com/one-of-the-best-fantasy-4xs-on-pc-is-free-while-the-steam-keys-last/
Endless Space and Humankind studio Amplitude is marking its 13th birthday, and to celebrate it's giving out free Steam copies of Endless Legend, its underrated fantasy 4X that apparently released all the way back in 2014. So there's a Friday morning confrontation with mortality for you.
You can pick the game up by heading over to the Amplitude Studios community website and then, well, going through a little bit of a rigamarole. You'll need to make an account, verify your email, then head into your account settings and link the thing up with Steam. Once you've done that, just return to that page linked above and click on the Endless Legend image halfway down the page to get your free Steam key.

https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/quake-remaster-just-got-a-slave-zero-x-inspired-mod/
Ziggurat Interactive and Poppy Works have launched Episode Enyo, a new mod for Quake Remaster that is inspired by Slave Zero X. As with all Quake/Doom mods, this is free to everyone. There’s also a trailer available for you to check out at the end of the article.
Episode Enyo takes place before Slave Zero X and tells the tale of Enyo. Originally hired to eliminate SovKhan, the oppressive ruler in Slave Zero X, Enyo ends up being compelled to serve as the Second of the Five Calamities.
This new mod comes with six campaign levels. Players will also find thirteen new enemies, one new powerup, and eight new weapons. There is also one Deathmatch arena. Oh, and let’s not forget that Aleks Kmiec has created a new soundtrack for it.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition Community Patch 1.6 Released
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/mass-effect-legendary-edition-community-patch-1-6-released/
The Mass Effect Community Patch Team has just released a new Community Update for Mass Effect Legendary Edition. This update aims to tweak and fix a number of issues that plagued the first remaster. So, let’s take a look at it.
Patch 1.6 for the game fixes some problems, like when Male Shepard’s visor and breather overlap. It also makes sure that the Master Overkill talent works as intended. Plus, there’s a script to avoid glitches in custom dialogue for FemShep when using mods.
The new update (Patch 1.6) also makes sure that the barrier shield effect is displayed correctly for your squadmates. Now, if you click on a power that’s already activated, it will re-request that power with a new target, just like it does on controllers.
And there is more. Now, when you switch weapons, the game won’t remove the highlight on a requested power. Plus, picking a power or weapon won’t hide the info box anymore. It also fixed a little hiccup where medigel got activated by accident while dragging with the right click. And yes, Community Patch 1.6 also sorts out some bugs in various quests.
