QuakeCon 2022 will feature dirty keyboards and Skryim sweet rolls

With the 2022 edition of QuakeCon now just a couple weeks away, Bethesda has revealed the full schedule of events, which will include an up-close look at Redfall (opens in new tab), PC building tutorials, speedruns, charity fundraising, and something called the “QuakeCon Dirty Keyboard Contest.”

I don’t recall hearing about the Dirty Keyboard Contest previously, but apparently it’s well-known among fans: Bethesda referred to it as “legendary,” and it even has its own trailer, although to be fair it’s mainly just an ad for contest sponsor Steelseries. It seems a little bit weird to me to want to broadcast to the world that you’re a filthy animal who can’t be bothered to clean the keys once a year or so, but I guess in this era of celebrity surveillance it’s not the worst thing you might end up doing for a shot at free stuff. (And no, it’s not as if my own is in a pristine, out-of-the-box state, but I’m not going to let anyone see it like this either.)
