https://www.pcgamer.com/games/steam-autumn-sale-2024-live/
Winter is less than a month away but there's still enough time left in the current season to squeeze in a Steam sale—and yes, that means the 2024 Steam Autumn Sale is now underway.
As always, the start of the Autumn Sale also kicks off the nominations for the 2024 Steam Awards, the annual celebration of the year's favorites across 11 categories. Nominations will be open until the end of the Autumn Sale, with voting to follow in the Steam Winter sale, which assuming the last couple decades of precedent holds up will happen in December.

Halo PC just got a must-have VR Mod with 6DOF motion controls
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/halo-pc-just-got-a-must-have-vr-mod-with-6dof-motion-controls/
LivingFray has just released an amazing and must-have VR Mod for the first Halo game on PC, Halo: Combat Evolved. This mod will finally allow you to experience this classic Halo game in VR, with motion controls and proper VR aiming. So, let’s take a closer look at it.
Halo CEVR features 6DoF Synced Stereo view (i.e. VR camera without any AER/3D screen nonsense), 6DoF Weapon aiming and 6DoF Grenade aiming. It also has support for tracked controllers. There is also support for motion-controlled melee (uses head-aiming), motion-controlled flashlight and motion-controlled crouching. And that’s not all. Halo CEVR also features a two-handed aiming mode.
In short, this VR Mod will completely change the way you experience this classic Halo game. So, if you own the original 2003 PC version, you can download it from here and start playing.
Right now, the game is playable from start to finish. However, you might encounter some minor bugs. Still, you’ll not get any game-breaking bugs or issues, meaning that you will be able to fully enjoy it.
Also note that the mod is only compatible with the 2003 PC version. It’s not compatible with the remaster featured in the Master Chief Collection.

Retribution 2 is a DLC-sized fan expansion for Fallout: New Vegas
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/retribution-2-is-a-dlc-sized-fan-expansion-for-fallout-new-vegas/
Modder ‘AutisticHarmonica’ has released a new DLC-sized fan expansion for Fallout New Vegas, called Retribution 2. Retribution is a Bounties-inspired Legion quest mod, and the sequel to Retribution – A Legion Quest Mod. So, let’s see what’s in store for us in this new mod.
Retribution 2 will send you on a multi-hour journey all over the Mojave where you’ll enact the will of Caesar and his Legion. In this mod, players will annex tribes or capture slaves. They’ll also have plenty of decisions to make, and many will have differing consequences. Moreover, the mod brings new weapons, armor, and perks.
It’s also worth noting that Retribution 2 has voiced lines for almost all of its NPCs. This is something I like in pretty much all the DLC-sized mods for Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas. Right now, only two side characters lack lines. And, in a future update, the modder will add their voices.

Skyrim finally playable as modder invents 'coffins so comfy you'll wish you were dead'
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/the-elder-scrolls/skyrim-finally-playable-as-modder-invents-coffins-so-comfy-youll-wish-you-were-dead/
What do they do with you when you die in Skyrim? The draugr would suggest you get interred in some kind of big tomb to murder future adventurers, but aren't those all Nords? What if you're playing a Dunmer, or a Breton, or some other non-native culture in Skyrim's snow-capped peaks?
You presumably get stuck in one of the province's innumerable humdrum, plain-wood coffins and stuck on a shelf. That might be sufficient for the paupers, but I'm a Dragonborn of wealth and taste. My sojourn up the Styx requires the finest possible vessel.
It's taken 13 years since the game's release, but someone has heard my cry. A modder named sothasimp (the less said about that, the better) has created a range of plush sarcophagi for those of us who want to leave a beautiful casket as well as a corpse. Comfy Coffins came out a week ago and "replaces common coffins, Solitude coffins and vampire coffins" with "coffins so comfy you'll wish you were dead!"
