I'm been interested in Wreckfest, but what stops me from buying it is that I don't know if it will end getting repetitive soon. In my opinion, the game would benefit from a demo.

Also, feel free to stalk me if you want. My Steam ID is in my sig but, in case you have them blocked, it's jonxiquet.

I could go for some Turing refresh. Depending on when Ampere hits.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Common sense says that it's probably that, but why would Nvidia use Super for that? It sounds... kind of cheap.

Let's go with the last round of news of the week:

SALES & DEALS

Here are Steam's best-selling new releases for April
https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-reveals-the-top-20-new-releases-on-steam-for-april/
Are you curious about which games were the best-selling new releases on Steam for the month of April? So was Valve, so it decided to find out.
"We are continually fascinated by the number of amazing games coming out on Steam each month and how much variety there is in what becomes popular," Valve wrote in a new blog post. "In any given month, the most popular new releases represent a wide variety of styles, genres, and themes. They may be worldwide hits or they may have a stronger audience only in particular region."
The list is not a straight rundown of the top-20 moneymakers for the month—Vacation Simulator (probably) did not outsell Mortal Kombat 11. Instead, Valve looked at the revenue earned by every new game in April during the first two weeks of release to determine the top 20 sellers, and then sorted the list by release date.

Chex Quest 3 is now official General Mills canon
https://www.pcgamer.com/chex-quest-3-is-now-official-general-mills-canon/
Chex Quest 3 was a bit of fan service created by Charles Jacobi, an artist who worked on the original Chex Quest, which, for the unfamiliar, was a 90s promotional game packaged with General Mills' beige cereal.
Using the ZDoom source port, Chex Quest 3 combines the levels from the first two games with a new chapter in the fibrous FPS. Jacobi released it as a free download in 2008, and today, General Mills has adopted Chex Quest 3 officially, "re-releasing" it along with a new poster by illustrator Marc Ericksen. You can grab it here.

Wait, what?
