MODS, EMULATORS & FAN PROJECTS

Thanks to a modder, the cat in Stray now hates Mondays and loves lasagna
https://www.pcgamer.com/stray-mods/
'Moody cat adventure game' should have been a genre for decades already, but somehow Stray's housecat protagonist feels novel, and players already want more cat options. Modders have answered that call, turning Stray's orange tabby into all kinds of alternative cats: black cats, gray cats, calico cats, lasagna cats. Yes, you can now play Stray as Garfield.
Modder Chris Rubino is responsible for putting the Jim Davis cartoon cat into Stray with the "Garfield - Cartoon Edition" mod, which can be downloaded at NexusMods.

This cursed mod replaces The Stanley Parable's narrator with TikTok's female text-to-speech voice
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-cursed-mod-replaces-the-stanley-parables-narrator-with-tiktoks-female-text-to-speech-voice/
In a classic case of the PC gaming community asking whether it could, instead of whether it should, a modder has created a mod for The Stanley Parable that replaces the game's iconic narrator (brilliantly voiced by Kevan Brighting), with Tiktok's female text-to-speech voice.
The mod, created by a modder known as KabanFriends, overdubs the narrator's lines with Tiktok's relentlessly chipper TTS robot. It is apparently inspired by a similar mod that gives Portal the Tiktok treatment, replacing GLaDOS' lines with the same voice.
