A Valve Steam Deck designer has said that the SSD mod will shorten the device’s life and has told owners not to install it. Last week (June 24), PC Gamer reported on a brand new Steam Deck mod which upgrades the handheld’s SSD to house a 2242 M.2 NVMe instead of the built-in 2230 form factor SSD.

Sekiro has had a second wind lately and I’m loving it Look, this was an easy sell for me. I’m a simple man: I see Sekiro news in 2022, even by way of fan-created content, and I get excited. That includes this Elden Ring Sekiro mod (with a bit of Bloodborne), which addresses one crucial mechanical aspect: rolling/dodging. Created by nmsl2018, the mod’s concept is very easy to grasp, but it has a whopper of a name: “replace light roll animation with Sekiro step and medium roll with Bloodborne step.” The title says it…

However, Twitter user Belly Jelly (opens in new tab) has discovered a way to expand the M.2 2230 slot to an M.2 2242 slot, opening the door to more…

It supports up to 10 players Modder CraftyBoss managed to do something that probably should have been done a long time ago: a Super Mario Odyssey multiplayer mod. Housed on their Discord server, the mod (which requires a modded Switch) allows up to 10 people to play Mario Odyssey together, with different costumes to differentiate everyone: that actually sync while playing. The mod itself is a work in progress, as is the custom game mode concept, but for now, the basics seem to be working. Interestingly, moon…
