Humble's monthly bundle is getting more expensive, but you'll get to choose your games
https://www.pcgamer.com/humbles-monthly-bundle-is-getting-more-expensive-but-youll-get-to-choose-your-games/
The Humble Monthly bundle is on the way out, and will soon be replaced by a new service called Humble Choice, which will be more expensive to everyone except existing subscribers.
Currently, the monthly bundle costs $12 for a handful of mystery games, including a couple of early unlocks that are usually better-known titles. Under Humble Choice, you'll be able to choose the games you keep from a wide selection: you'll keep three games if you sign up to the $15/month basic plan, or nine games if you pay $20 a month for the premium subscription. The company hasn't said how big the selection of games you'll pick from will be.
If you're already signed up to the Humble Monthly bundle before the services switch over, which will happen "later this year", then you don't need to worry: you'll keep paying $12 monthly on a "classic" subscription plan, and you'll keep 10 games per month. Any discounts you currently earn by paying for multiple months at a time will carry over. But if you cancel your classic membership after the switch to Humble Choice then you won't be able to get it back, and you'll have to resubscribe as if you were a new customer, the company said in an FAQ.
>> So now you'll pay more to get less, but you'll be able to choose what you get. I don't think it's worth it.

BSNES Version 112 available for download to everyone, features overclocking & input latency options
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/bsnes-version-112-available-for-download-to-everyone-features-overclocking-input-latency-options/
The team behind BSNES, an emulator for Super Nintendo, has released a brand new version of it. Version 112 comes with overclocking and input latency options. It also comes with a HD Mode 7 setting that lets you improve the visuals of all Mode 7 games.
Going into more details, the overclocking settings allow you to increase the frequency of the CPU, as well as the frequency of the SA-1 and Super FX chips. Theoretically, this should address the framerate issues in most of the SNES games.

Denroth has released a brand new mod for The Witcher 3 that brings 4K textures to the main female roster of the game. In other words, this mod improves Ciri, Yennefer and Triss Merigold. Alongside the new 4K textures, the modder has also brought some additional improvements.
For instance, this mod features better hair for all three female characters, new eyelashes and better eyes. It also brings enhanced skin pores, better hands and feet, as well as new intimate areas. Denroth has also added new personal textures for each character (which do not affect other NPCs), and maps re-elaborated in high definition. Players can also increase the LOD for these models, though this introduces some bugs.
>> You'll find the instructions to install (and run) this mod, as well as the download link (from Nexus Mods) in the article.

HeySlickThatsMe has released a pretty cool new mod for Watch_Dogs 2. As the title suggests, this mod allows you to play Ubisoft’s open-world action adventure game via a first-person perspective.

As HeySlickThatsMe suggests, only the foot camera has been changed. The takedown cameras are still in third-person due to major issues.
>> If you're interested, head to Nexus Mods for it.

Alien: Hope for the Future is a new fan Alien game; more faithful to the movies than official games
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/alien-hope-for-the-future-is-a-new-fan-alien-game-more-faithful-to-the-movies-than-official-games/
IIapagokc has released a brand new gameplay trailer for a new fan Alien game, Alien: Hope for the Future. And, ironically, this unofficial fan Alien game feels way better and more faithful to the movies than the official games.
Alien: Hope for the future is an Immersive sim project with elements of survival-horror and tactics. This isn’t a commercial game, meaning that it will be distributed for free to everyone once it’s complete.
(...)
Seriously, for an indie attempt, this Alien game looks absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, Disney may shut down this project now that it got the media’s attention. On the other hand, there are rumours suggesting that Disney is about to sell FoxNext, so things may turn favourably for this indie studio.

The mod is a work-in-progress and ZombieAli didn't say when it will be live, but the short clip below shows you what to expect: a big, barrel-chested goose striding down corridors towards you.
