PC Gaming

After about a year of on-and-off development of my first project, I plan to release it on 18 Nov 2024. It's a turn based strategy set in a bedroom, where you play with toy army men against your opponent (human or computer).

Happy to hear what you think!

I am playing through it for the first time and I know it has a rich modding scene so I'm wondering what is out there.

I would be curious about quality of life mods like bug fixes and graphical improvements. I'm not super interested in rebalance mods at this time.

That said feel free to mention any mods you've really enjoyed. I'd be interested to hear about those as well.

Please avoid spoilers. I am planning to play each game soon.

By surprise and without any announcement (maybe I missed it?) Ryochan7 archived their ds4windows project with a final EOL release

Vigembus (the driver) is also discontinued due to a trademark issue by an unrelated company that has nothing to do with gaming

What will be the path forward to easily use non-xbox pads on windows?

I use a dual shock 4 via Bluetooth on my PC (Windows) and I'm tired about the workarounds required to have it working all the time. Sometimes it needs steam open, sometimes instead having steam open will confuse the game, and so on. And by default the light is off when connected so I never know if it's o, off, low battery. I have a limited amount of time to play and I don't want to waste 1/4 of it troubleshooting the controller.

I saw an e-waste recycler selling brand new stadia controllers for $15. Some of them in a nice mint green tint that I never seen before. Once flashed with the new Bluetooth mode firmware are they good to play on PC (Windows)? Or I should just use Xbox controllers if I want something that "just works"?

Steam takes forever to start (5-10s) on AMD ryzen 9 7950x, it's not automatically started on boot. Closing also takes a few seconds. Could that be due to sloppy programming? I am a programmer myself.

Hi, I was thinking if there is a gaming mouse that vibrates, like a controller does. One of the things I like the most about gaming with a controller is that. IDK, would be cool to have it in a mouse.

I've been using this site for a while now and it's the best one I've found for discovering Game Pass titles. There are a lot of filters that are useful for PC gamers, so it's not just console-focused.
