Half-Life 2 Path Tracing looks incredible in these first screenshots
https://www.dsogaming.com/screenshot-news/half-life-2-path-tracing-looks-incredible-in-these-first-screenshots/
Modder ‘Igor Zdrowowicz‘ has been experimenting with NVIDIA RTX Remix, and shared some screenshots from Half-Life 2 with Path Tracing. These screenshots showcase what modders can achieve with the NVIDIA RTX Remix Runtime that NVIDIA released yesterday.
Half-Life 2 Path Tracing looks amazing. The way the lighting now interacts with the environment is incredible. And yes, almost all light sources can now cast shadows.
Alongside the following screenshots, Zdrowowicz also shared a gameplay video. This video is from a WIP version of the Path Tracing Mod (based on Portal RTX). Thus, it’s not as polished as we’d like it to be. Nevertheless, it can give you a glimpse at how the game looks in motion with Path Tracing.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Ada Wong Nude Mod available for download
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/resident-evil-4-remake-ada-wong-nude-mod-available-for-download/
Following the Nude Mod for Ashley, here comes a similar mod for Resident Evil 4 Remake’s femme fatale, Ada Wong. This mod is compatible and works alongside the nude mods for Ashley, Luis, and Leon.
Going into more details, this nude mod is based on TrieuPham’s Bikini mod. The original Bikini version, which you can download from here, features proper breast and butt physics. However, the nude mod seems to be lacking those physics.
>> As always, no screenshots nor videos of the mod.

Beloved Game of Thrones mod for Crusader Kings 3 releases tomorrow, so you can finally give the series a decent ending
https://www.pcgamer.com/beloved-game-of-thrones-mod-for-crusader-kings-3-releases-tomorrow-so-you-can-finally-give-the-series-a-decent-ending/
George RR Martin might be too busy winning Golden Globes and owning a literal railroad to write The Winds of Winter (and fair play to him, honestly), but that doesn't mean we can't get our Game of Thrones fix elsewhere. AGOT, a highly popular Game of Thrones mod for the Crusader Kings games, is finally getting its CK3 edition, so you can just author your own conclusion to the A Song of Ice and Fire story.
Going by the less-than-catchy title CK3AGOT (Crusader Kings 3: A Game of Thrones), the mod will launch into open beta tomorrow, April 14. The details the creators have already put out look great: expect a detailed recreation of Westeros in the CK3 engine, with all sorts of opportunities for intrigue, skulduggery, and crimes against gods and men alike. So all the things you usually do in a game of CK3, but Ned Stark is there.
>> There's a 6 minutes video of the mod.
