Skyrim mods are, in a lot of ways, on the cusp of technology. It feels weird saying that considering the Bethesda RPG came out in 2011, but it's still one of the most popular games to mod, and many players adopt modern trends when making their stuff. One of the newest is generative AI, and with Bethesda revamping the in-game mod marketplace and how creatives can choose to be monetized for their work, the team says a blanket no to AI.

The notorious Diablo 4 glyph bug is no more. Following the arrival of the Abattoir of Zir, the new endgame challenge for the Blizzard ARPG, you might have suddenly noticed that your D4 Paragon glyphs had lost levels - a critical problem for anyone hoping to hop into its ultra-challenging new endgame mode, which already pulls no punches. Fortunately, Diablo 4 patch notes are here for a 1.2.3 update hotfix that is now live for PC players on Steam and Battlenet.

Resident Evil multiplayer games have a tumultuous history. Resident Evil Outbreak, and later, Outbreak File 2, were solid and had some bright ideas. The RPD and zoo chapters in File 2 were especially great; likewise, the opening J Bar section from the original Outbreak. The only issue was that playing Resident Evil Outbreak with other people was often harder and less enjoyable than playing it alone - the in-game comms system made it difficult to effectively strategize, and managing keys and ammo between four people was normally a huge fuss. Resident Evil Resistance was a novel idea, but it was bundled with the neglected and unfairly maligned Resident Evil 3 Remake, so never really took hold. Taking cues from Dead by Daylight, Resident Evil Reverse, which arrived via a download code for RE Village, might also have been a contender - but just over one year later, RE Reverse hardly has enough Steam players to make a single game.

Twitter / X – whatever you want to call it now – has been rather catty as it tries to promote its own video platform. Whatever you think of the direction Elon Musk has taken the former blue bird app, he has pushed hard for streamers and companies to use its video platform directly. Case in point: it seems like X may have attempted to limit the reach of Rockstar Games' GTA 6 trailer, which, of course, uses the YouTube link.
