MODS, EMULATORS & FAN PROJECTS

Monster Hunter Rise is already playable on PC via the Nintendo Switch emulator, Ryujinx
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/monster-hunter-rise-is-already-playable-on-pc-via-the-nintendo-switch-emulator-ryujinx/
Capcom has just released Monster Hunter Rise on Nintendo Switch and PC gamers can already play this new Monster Hunter game via the Ryujinx emulator. Yeap, you read that right. Monster Hunter Rise is fully playable on launch day on the Ryujinx.
Now according to the developers, emulation is not perfect yet as there are a couple of small bugs. For instance, navigating to the in-game album crashes the game. Additionally, performance is not that great and the devs promise performance improvements in future versions.

The Witcher 3 mods add Zelda’s Master Sword, improve Elves, and more
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/the-witcher-3-mods-zelda-master-sword-improve-elves-more/
A number of mods came out last week for The Witcher 3. As such, I’ve decided to collect the ones I thought were cool and present them to you in one article. So, below you can find mods that improve the game’s Elves, bring Zelda’s Master Sword, overhaul Resources and Perks, and make the swords from Silver & Steel standalone items & craftable.

Valheim mod makes deer sound like deer instead of 'crazy duck-monkeys'
https://www.pcgamer.com/valheim-mod-makes-deer-sound-like-deer-instead-of-crazy-duck-monkeys/
Valheim proved to be engrossing and enchanting from the moment we started playing, with a massive and mysterious world, beautiful visuals, and compelling combat and activities. And yet I'd wager every single player, no matter how immersed they were in the survival and exploration experience, at some point wondered this:
What the hell kinda noise are those deer making? I mean... what is that supposed to be?
Valheim's deer make kind of a hoot, kind of a honk, and kind of a sad moan, all at once. It's like a trumpet stuffed with mashed potatoes being played by a depressed donkey. It's a bit baffling. Toot toot? Toot. Wahhhh. Hardly the idyllic sound of nature, and pretty distracting until you eventually just agree to accept it. "Fine. That's what deer sound like on the 10th plane of the Norse afterlife, I guess."
But the Realistic Animal Sounds mod is here to make the deer sound more like real deer. In the modder's words, the mod "changes deer idle sounds from crazy duck-monkeys to actual grunts and calls used by wild deer" and "changes deer alert sounds from the sound of a rubber chicken being stepped on to an actual recording of a deer blowing its warning snort."

Here's McDonald's, in Morrowind
https://www.pcgamer.com/heres-mcdonalds-in-morrowind/
Given there's a player out there building Pizza Huts and KFCs in No Man's Sky, perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise to see the golden arches over Vvardenfell. No, I'm still a bit weirded out by what modder Ignatious has done in Welcome to McDagoth's, a mod that adds a familiar fast-food restaurant to the town of Balmora in Morrowind.
At McDagoth's the menu includes Big Guar, Skooma Shake, Big Red Mountain, and Quarter-Khajiit with Cheese—which I hope is a euphemism for a burger that weighs as much as a quarter of a Khajiit, given that they are sentient cat people who don't deserve to be ground into burger patties. McDagoth's also sells equippable hats with the logo on them.
Weirdly, this isn't the first mod for adding a burger joint to Morrowind. There's also Balmora Burger Franchise, which puts a Whataburger into the same town if you want to imagine competition between two chain restaurants in your otherworldly fantasy RPG.
