Currently, Epic Games Store users can add until June 18th King Ouroboros and Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freaks to their digital libraries.

Angelbabyzz said that broken glass from the tempered glass side panel was scattered all over their bedroom, which took three days to clean up. Additionally, both of Angelbabyzz's RAMs were damaged by a bullet as one of the heat shields was dislodged from the RAM module. Gunshot debris and broken glass were also found throughout the PC, including damage to the graphics card, CPU fan, and various cables. As a result, Angelbabyzz's neighbor was charged with criminal negligence and their gun was confiscated by the police.
In response to questions raised by other Redditors, Angelbabyzz said they will not pursue any further charges because their neighbor has been cooperative so far. Their neighbor said he would cover all the costs of replacing the PC unless there was an insurance claim. With the cost of RAM and graphics cards rising rapidly during 2026, Angelbabyzz's neighbor may be in for a steep bill to pay.
