SOFTWARE & DRIVERS

Google Stadia Founder's Edition is launching on November 19
https://www.pcgamer.com/stadia-release-date/
Founder's Editions of Google Stadia will start appearing in just over a month, on November 19 for early adopters who preordered the streaming device, at which point you'll be able to start playing the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2 on everything from your PC to supported phones.
Stadia Founder's Editions and Premier Editions—which replaced the former after it sold out—will start being sent out in the order in which they were bought, and you'll be sent an activation code when your package ships that lets you set up you account and Stadia Pro, which you'll have access to for three months. It's normally $10 a month.
>> I've been thinking... should I keep posting news about Stadia even though it's not a PC service but rather a competitor, like consoles, or should I treat it like the Xbox Game Pass and keep posting about it? What do you think?

MODS/EMULATORS

Blair Witch benefits greatly from Reshade Ray Tracing, comparison video
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/blair-witch-benefits-greatly-from-reshade-ray-tracing-comparison-video/
Digital Dreams has shared a new video, showcasing the visual improvements that the Reshade Ray Tracing mod brings to Blair Witch. Blair Witch is an Unreal Engine 4 first-person horror game that already requires a high-end GPU. Thankfully, though, there are major graphical improvements that may justify the higher GPU requirements that this Reshade mod introduces.

New demo released for the Aliens total conversion mod for GZDoom/Doom 2, ALIENS: ERADICATION
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/new-demo-released-for-the-aliens-total-conversion-mod-for-gzdoom-doom-2-aliens-eradication/
Kontra_Kommando has released a brand new demo for the Aliens total conversion mod for GZDoom/Doom 2, ALIENS: ERADICATION. This mod is using Kontra Kommando’s Aliens: Trilolgy/Ultimate Doom mod as a base, and is actually more fun than the latest official action Aliens games (I’m looking at you Aliens: Colonial Marines).
ALIENS: ERADICATION does not feature any random enemy spawners. In this mod, all enemies are placed in a setpiece fashion allowing the player to develop better strategies over time. Moreover, the mod features 4 different classes. Each class has its own story, starting inventory, gameplay, item/monster placement and more.
