Nintendo Switch games look stunning on the PC in the latest version of Ryujinx

The team behind the Nintendo Switch emulator, Ryujinx, has released a brand new version of it. This version implements Zero-Configuration Resolution Scaling, making most Nintendo Switch games look incredible on the PC.
Going into more details, Zero-Configuration Resolution Scaling lets you scale compatible render targets in a game using a single multiplier value. The goal is to scale shadows and screen-bound render targets using the scaling factor.

Dark Souls 3 with assault rifles is my new favorite easy mode
https://www.pcgamer.com/dark-souls-3-with-assault-rifles-is-my-new-favorite-easy-mode/
I'm not one of those Dark Souls people that goes on and on about the creator's vision and the intended experience to justify the steep challenge of From Software's games. Play them that way if you enjoy playing them that way, totally cool and good and fun.
But if your style is something a little faster and looser, just mod a whole bunch of guns into Dark Souls 3 and play it like Call of Duty: Tragic Yet Dignified Dragon Warfare. It's the ideal easy mode for FPS players looking to try out one of these wacky RPGs the kids won't quit talking about these days.
Modern Firearm is a Dark Souls 3 mod that replaces all the default ranged weapons with, well, automatic weapons. Modder Asasasasasbc [sic] knows it's completely broken and unbalanced, but that's the big idea anyway. Subverting the infamous difficulty of a subdued, morose action RPG with the brashest of videogame weapons is modder poetry. Check out the big guns in action in the video below.
