My savior, who goes by the name of “Keezy”, has created a mod called “Silent Deers”, which mutes those incessant deer bleats entirely. If you have a strange fondness for the noises they make, you can configure the volume at which they bleat, as well as the amount they emit these shrill calls. I do not know why you would opt for these latter options, and I am not sure I would want to associate myself with you, a ‘Deer-Supporter’, but each to their own....

How do I enable cheats in Sims 4? To use Sims 4 cheats on PC, you first need to open up the cheat console within the game. Exactly how you do this will depend on your hardware: Windows users: hit CTRL + SHIFT + C. Mac users: hit CMD + SHIFT + C. In order to enable many of the below cheats, you’ll first need to enter the following into the console: Not every cheat code in the game requires this, but many do....

That seems nice, doesn’t it? Low-stakes skating through levels inspired by a few cities around the world. Tricks, but not hyper-technical. Recording tools for hot skate videos. Casual beats. And outfits and cosmetic bits to unlock. A challenge mode with high scores, or an endless mode. Yeah, I’d skate these streets. I’m definitely not like Brendy with his devotion to grinding his face off in OlliOlli 2. Skate City is due out “soon” on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store....

Developers Saber Interactive revealed the start of SnowRunner’s debut haul with a new trailer this morning. Don’t be fooled by all that green - the mercury drops fast and hard. Packed your snowshoes? SnowRunner is its chilly follow-up to Spintires: MudRunner - a meticulously detailed off-road simulation where making good time took second place to making it through boggy trails in the first place. MudRunner was itself an expanded rerelease of the game known simply as Spintires....

An unanticipated effect was that it started me thinking about TV shows ostensibly for children that are beloved by adults. And this, in turn, made think about My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Don’t click away!

Well, you’re in luck. The Spell Damage Shaman deck we’ve guided here is perfect for boosting your damage and hitting your enemy for big chunks with spells. Scholomance Academy has helped a lot with this archetype - we’ve seen a whole load of handy new minions and spells to add in, from Diligent Notetaker to Instructor Fireheart. Spell Damage Shaman deck list and strategy Here is the version of Spell Damage Shaman we like in the Scholomance Academy meta....

Note that these really are just reskins, and are designed to replace one of the alternate outfits you can put on Spider-Man in-game. You might be able to look like Vulture, but you’ll still have Peter Parker’s standard abilities. Still, after years of replacing Grand Theft Auto protagonists with models of Marvel characters, it’s nice to do the same in an actual Marvel game. I’d recommend Kingpin, Norman Osborn, Mary Jane, Vulture, all by Robin, plus Miles Morales and Peter Park in a labcoat by tiffsomniac, Harry Osborn by Exilekk (made better by the pole glitched through his head), Blackcat by GraviT, and Rhino by JPSkywalker98....

I played Returnal last year and can confirm that it is splendid, and also that you will grow to hate the kamikaze squid in the final area with every fibre of your being. Presuming you get that far. There’s nothing revelatory in that PC features trailer, though ray-tracing and DLSS support are nice to have. The most notable detail on the tech front is that you’ll need a whopping 32GB of RAM to meet the recommended system specs....

Star Dynasties takes place after humanity has settled among the stars, but Earth’s destruction plunges civilization back into the galactic version of the dark ages. “As the leader of a faction of star systems, you must seek to ensure the survival and prosperity of your dynasty,” Pawley Games say. “Expand your empire, herd your unruly vassals, build political alliances, and navigate a web of agendas, political intrigue and social obligations, to emerge as the dominant power of the galaxy....

My Play Next page reckons I should give Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel a go, because I’ve played loads of Borderlands 2 and Risk Of Rain 2. I didn’t even know I owned The Pre-Sequel so I suppose it’s done a pretty good job scouring my library to find that one. When you load up your Play Next page, it’ll give you a selection of three games it thinks you should have a go at....

You’ll find that interview in full below, so read on to find out how Valve’s Steam Deck team balanced performance and portability, whether you really shouldn’t open up your own Deck for mods and repairs, how its system-wide upscaling works, and more. And don’t miss our separate interview with Gabe Newell, where the Valve President and co-founder speaks on the Steam Deck, NFTs and cryptocurrencies, consolidation of the games industry and much more besides....

That’s a curious art style. Pushing closer to ‘realism’ in terms of fidelity but still with heavily stylised physiques and with the lovely ink splashes for charging up wizard powers. Presumably that’s the look the game will go for, rather than just a decision for this announcement trailer? I’m tentatively game. And it could look quite different in contexts other than a shadowy void. Yeah, I’m curious to see more characters in this style....

Wales Interactive call it a “spiritual successor”, where up to four players can team up to survive against what looks like hordes of Quiet Ones (zombie-like folks introduced in Maid Of Sker). Sker Ritual is set to release in spring 2022 on Steam, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. That’s about all the info Wales Interactive have provided at the moment, but I have so many more questions....

Having gone hands-on with a short 20-minute-ish demo of the game at this year’s Gamescom, I can confirm that the remake is real and seems faithful to the original despite some heavy tinkers in the modernisation station. For nostalgic fans it should make for an exciting revisit to cyberspace, but I’m unsure whether it’ll land quite as well for newcomers seeking a showdown with Shodan. The demo kicked off right at the beginning of the game and immediately showcased one of Nightdive’s licks of modern paint....

“We deliver the highest quality experiences in the business, and we charge much less for them than we believe they’re worth to consumers,” CEO Strauss Zelnick said in Take-Two’s earnings call yesterday. “Then we deliver, typically, an ongoing component that is free. And that’s already a great deal of value. Any monetisation, of course, it’s totally optional. And unlike many, sort of, casual titles, the monetisation is not necessarily to enjoy the experience, it’s an additional benefit....

This is Teen Island Simulator, a zero-player adaptation of the GMless pen-and-paper game, Teen Island, by Chris McDowell. The original game presents the teens as being on an “overseas trip to the International Highschooler Summit, [and are] suddenly stranded on a remote island with no signs of human life.” Your goal is to guide the teens through their unfortunate circumstances, build them a raft to escape, and try to keep (most) of their social lives intact....
