I know there have been a lot of attempts at releasing multiplayer mods for Skyrim over the years, but none of those have been as ambitious as the co-op mod Skyrim Together Reborn, which aims to get between 2-8 players running around in the same game, completing the same quests and fighting the same monsters.

     Skull & Bones loadouts will let you create the perfect pirate ship

Ubisoft has revealed some additional details about its upcoming pirate game Skull & Bones. The latest update gets into the nitty-gritty on ship loadouts, and how you'll be able to outfit your pirate vessel with everything you need for a specific job or a particular combat role.

In the latest devblog, the Skull & Bones developers talk about the careful preparation you'll need to make before heading out on the high seas. Depending on whether you're raiding forts or taking on rival gangs of pirates, you'll need a ship that's set up for the task. The devs say that your first chief considerations should be the ship's size, its category, and its associated perks.

Ubisoft says every element of ship customisation, including hulls, weapons, and attachments, will be craftable at the blacksmiths, shipwrights, and carpenters that you'll find in each pirate den. You'll just need to bring along the blueprints and raw materials for each component.

     Steam Discovery Queue gets a makeover in the latest Labs experiment

Valve has just rolled out its latest Steam Labs Experiment, and it's an overhaul for the storefront's Discovery Queue. The elegant new format floats over the rest of the interface, and lets you flip through recommended Steam games in a way that Valve says is designed to work on a variety of screen sizes and device types.

The new layout for the Discovery Queue, which originally launched way back in 2014, will allow you to pull it up without leaving the page you're on, and it provides additional details about the games it recommends, as well as why it's recommending them. Overall, it's a simpler and more lightweight presentation, but you get more information about each title a lot faster and more clearly.

tsukumo sana graduation

Tsukumo Sana of Hololive English Council will graduate from the VTuber group on July 31, 2022. According to the announcement, Cover Corporation had discussed with Sana "the direction of her activities." However, due to difficulties in continuing her streams, Cover Corporation decided to allow Sana to graduate.

Neither Cover Corporation nor Sana has revealed the details behind her graduation. Sana does note that it was a difficult decision and thanks her fans for all the support. Additionally, she notes that she wishes she could stay for everyone and that she felt like she was in a fairy tale, except that fairy tales "have to end." Sana will still attend Smash!, which will run from July 16 to 17, 2022.

Those who purchased merchandise from Tsukumo Sana's Birthday Celebration 2022 and wish to cancel their orders may do so from the official shop. While her graduation will be at the end of July, members will be able to access members-only content until October 31, 2022. In addition, those who wish to send in fan mail or presents must make sure they will arrive before October 31, 2022.

Sana herself has also retweeted both the English and Japanese announcements of her graduation. Tsukumo Sana debuted as part of Hololive English Council in 2021. Her contemporaries are Ceres Fauna, Ouro Kronii, Nanashi Mumei, and Hakos Baelz. In lore, she is the Speaker of "Space." Illustrator pako provided her design.

July 31, 2022, will be the last day of Tsukumo Sana's time as part of Hololive English Council. Her members-only content will be available until October 31, 2022. That is also the deadline for fan mail or gifts.

     Genshin Impact Version 2.8(1)The Fatui Harbingers have always been an unseen shadow within the depths of Genshin Impact's lore. As the main villainous group in the game, there's bound to be a lot of interest in this mysterious group of characters. (Not to mention, they consist of some of the most popular individual characters in the game, like Tartaglia and Scaramouche.) In an unexpected move, HoYoverse decided to drop a story trailer, revealing to the players the identities of the Fatui Harbingers in Genshin Impact, as well as a new character named Collei. Version 3.0 of Genshin Impact is on the horizon, expected to drop after Version 2.8. This version will bring the brand new region of Sumeru, as well as a new Dendro element. With a new region comes new insight into the main story of Genshin Impact, and the Fatui Harbingers seemingly play a huge role. The trailer follows the rest of the Fatui Harbingers (minus Scaramouche) as they mourn the passing of La Signora, the first Harbinger introduced to us ...
