Deus Ex 4, anyone?

I am playing through it for the first time and I know it has a rich modding scene so I'm wondering what is out there.

I would be curious about quality of life mods like bug fixes and graphical improvements. I'm not super interested in rebalance mods at this time.

That said feel free to mention any mods you've really enjoyed. I'd be interested to hear about those as well.

Please avoid spoilers. I am planning to play each game soon.

Maybe I'll have a reason to play my PS5 now!

Damn.

10,000 puzzles and counting?

And I love puzzle games, but this seems excessive (but also tempting).

Open-world games!

Open-world games everywhere!

...Okay, but honestly, they all look good.

Reminds me of Wind Waker.

I think these are the same folk that made Vampyr?

I could be wrong.

Anyway, enjoy the trailer. Lord knows this video game could use more attention. Nobody seems to be interested...

Neato.

By surprise and without any announcement (maybe I missed it?) Ryochan7 archived their ds4windows project with a final EOL release

Vigembus (the driver) is also discontinued due to a trademark issue by an unrelated company that has nothing to do with gaming

What will be the path forward to easily use non-xbox pads on windows?

The "Unending Layoffs" section goes starts at 2:44 of the video.

Lasts about 14 minutes, but it's quite powerful.

Also, I'm at around the 1:00:00 mark and they've mentioned the "live-service bubble" here and there. What can I say? I like Easy Alllies, or EZA, for comments like that. I wish there were more "leftist" gaming podcasts, but I believe that EZA aren't ostensibly "leftist" and I've only started listening to them within the last month.

They avoid politics for the most part, which is why I was surprised to hear all this.

Oh yeah, and they accepted their trans friend and she's a valued member on the show.

Gameranx is good, but has its fair share of problems, tbh.

God, I wish.

But probably? No.

Unless we're talking about the longue duree, but for the foreseeable, say, decade?

No.

We've got games like Black Myth: Wukong, Crimson Desert, Rise of the Ronin (Koei Tecmo hype!), Dragon's Dogma 2, and, I think, Persona 3 Reload, which I think are the ones I primarily want from this list. There's more games shown, of course. Check it out. Video is about 21 minutes long.

Your thoughts?

I really liked the section of the video titled "CPU" 'cause it actually explained everything well and used sketch-noting or whatever you call it (I'm referring to the graphs here).

I use a dual shock 4 via Bluetooth on my PC (Windows) and I'm tired about the workarounds required to have it working all the time. Sometimes it needs steam open, sometimes instead having steam open will confuse the game, and so on. And by default the light is off when connected so I never know if it's o, off, low battery. I have a limited amount of time to play and I don't want to waste 1/4 of it troubleshooting the controller.

I saw an e-waste recycler selling brand new stadia controllers for $15. Some of them in a nice mint green tint that I never seen before. Once flashed with the new Bluetooth mode firmware are they good to play on PC (Windows)? Or I should just use Xbox controllers if I want something that "just works"?
