https://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-elder-scrolls-iii-morrowind-mods-add-109-new-magic-spells-dual-wielding-and-a-hardcore-mode/
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind came out 17 years ago, in 2002. Let that sink in. 17 years. This game is probably older than some of you. And even to this date, its community is heavily supporting it by releasing brand new mods for it.
Today we are bringing you four mods for Bethesda’s classic RPG. The first two aim to overhaul its magic system, while the third one introduces a dual wielding gameplay mechanic. And its final and fourth mod, adds a Hardcore Mode to it.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Terminator: Resistance with Ray Tracing Global Illumination Reshade
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-and-terminator-resistance-with-ray-tracing-global-illumination-reshade/
YouTube’s ‘Digital Dreams’ and ‘SiNiSteR’ have shared two videos, showing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Terminator: Resistance with Reshade Ray/Path Tracing. Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade can significantly improve a game’s visuals by overhauling its Global Illumination effects. Thus, these videos showcase this Reshade mod in these two latest PC games.
For Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Digital Dreams included some before/after comparison scenes. As we can see, there are noticeable visual differences between these scenes. The lighting feels better thanks to the new post-processing Ray Tracing solution, and there is better ambient occlusion. Moreover, we can clearly notice the improved Global Illumination effects.

>> Sure, a game that will launch on almost every platform is going to be afraid of a game that will launch only on Steam and only for those that have a VR helmet... c'mon!

https://www.pcgamer.com/the-stanley-parable-ultra-deluxe-delayed/
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, which promises to torment Stanley with new choices and endings, was originally due out this year, but with 2019's end fast approaching, the game is running out of time.

Man of Medan players can invite a friend to join them for free
https://www.pcgamer.com/man-of-medan-players-can-invite-a-friend-to-join-them-for-free/
Man of Medan, the first episode in Supermassive Games' Dark Pictures Anthology, is really designed to be played with mates. Sure, you can play on your lonesome if you want, but the online co-op mode is where the B-movie romp really flexes its horror muscles. This mode normally requires both players to own the game, but for the next month that will no longer be the case.

BioWare executive producer Mark Darrah tweets 'Dragon Age' repeatedly, for no apparent reason
https://www.pcgamer.com/bioware-executive-producer-mark-darrah-tweets-dragon-age-repeatedly-for-no-apparent-reason/
Our rundown of everything we know about Dragon Age 4 includes a note that BioWare's Mark Darrah, executive producer on the Dragon Age series, is a regular presence on Twitter who's fond of "making cryptic statements to tease fans." And I guess that's what he's doing now, by tweeting "Dragon Age" repeatedly.

I don't think so.  It doesn't even say that it's out of stock.  Just no option to order it.  And if I remember correctly, doing it from canada always redirected you to Amazon or something.

I checked with an American friend just after posting this and he was still able to order one.

Well, bad luck, I guess.

Yeah them to games along with Dead in Vinland are stuff I've had on my Wishlist and Void bastards I played through Gamepass and would recommend checking it out as I quite enjoyed it.

I have been happy with the past few months of Humble actually after a few disappointing ones earlier in the year and they definitely need to start out with a bang, I have 3 more months on my current yearly sub and whilst I have always thought Humble is good value overall I only think it is if your still on the $132 per year plan and if a I ever stop that sub due to a few poor months I don't think it will be worth re-joining it for $180 a year and with 1 less game.

Yeah.  Canada is no fun sometimes.

Here come the Friday news! It looks like Thanksgiving has taken a toll on the news because there aren't many. Therefore, theyre all in one news post.

Codemasters today announced the acquisition of Slightly Mad Studios. The agreement cements Codemasters’ position as a world-leading games developer and publisher of racing videogames and expands its portfolio to include the award-winning Project CARS, together with an unannounced Hollywood blockbuster title.

In October, Ubisoft explained how it intends to fix Ghost Recon Breakpoint, a game that by all rights should have been good—it's just Wildlands 2.0, right?—and yet was decidedly not. Included in that plan was a commitment to post-launch content, including the first-ever Ghost Recon raid, called Project Titan, that was expected to roll out in December.

Forget the view out the windows—the real beauty of Microsoft Flight Simulator is in the cockpit

Sure, Microsoft Flight Simulator looks gorgeous as you fly over the entire damn world, gazing out the windows at mountains and oceans and vistas and shining cities seen through the clouds. But for my money the real eye-candy is located place inside the plane. The cockpits of Microsoft Flight Simulator are beautiful and amazingly detailed.

Impostor Factory, the next game coming from To the Moon studio Freebird Games, sounded quite a bit different from its predecessors when it was announced earlier this year. While To the Moon and its sequel Finding Paradise are tear-jerkers about regret and final wishes, Impostor Factory, Freebird said, is "a time-resetting thriller-mystery that involves a series of bloody murders."

Nothing else to add. I hope you all have a happy and gaming weekend.

Is the 3600X -> 3700X jump worth a hundred dollars folks?

Also, I'm open to recommendations of "great value" mobos for said processors.
