If it wasn’t already clear that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is going to be plenty zany in that good ol’ Yakuza way, RGG Studio has now revealed that Ichiban Kasuga’s next adventure will pack in its own Animal Crossing minigame - but done Yakuza-style, naturally.
Baldur's Gate 3's new hotfix is here and I used its main addition to turn a hireling into a woman named Darryl
06.10.2023 - 16:47 / pcgamer.com / New
Another day, another morsel of a patch for Baldur's Gate 3. It's only been three days since hotfix #8 set the world to rights by shaving Faerûn's most self-important cat and preventing your companions from dumping all their groceries on you, but Larian's already come out with hotfix #9.
This one stops your legs from turning transparent in a certain armour set, fixes some nasty bugs, and lets you fundamentally alter the appearance and identity of your summoned hirelings down to a practically molecular level, which is absolutely moral and fine.
It's that last one that jumps out to me. Ever since Baldur's Gate 3's third patch, your party campsite has come equipped with a magic mirror that lets you change your appearance however you see fit. Prior to hotfix #9, only your player character could use it, but the new order of things means that you can now march any of your hirelings—the cannon fodder you can get Withers to summon for you for 100 gold—down there and give them a full-body makeover.
You can now change hirelings' gender, name, and almost any aspect of their appearance. One thing you don't seem to be able to do is switch from masculine appearance options to feminine or vice versa, even if you switch a character's gender. When I told hireling Ver'yll Wenkiir he was a girl named Darryl now—a fact he internalised with admirable stoicism—I didn't get an option to choose from the femme face shapes. Ah well, you can't have everything, and at least the hotfix means I can see his legs when he wears Adamantine Splint Armour.
That's the main standout of hotfix #9 to me. The rest is mostly tweaks and fixes that I'll list in full below. Still, I'm very much enjoying this steady flow of patches and hotfixes. They only make an already great game better.
Here are the Baldur's Gate 3 hotfix #9 patch notes in full (beware a spoiler about the fate of an endgame boss in the section about Minthara):

2023's most slept-on horror game is getting an absolutely sadistic new mode where nearly everything's randomized and you have to spend precious fuel just to save
I absolutely love Amnesia: The Bunker—it's gotten lost in the tangle of one of the best years for gaming in a long time, but The Bunker is quietly one of the best horror games I've ever played. Now Frictional Games is augmenting that already mondo-stressful experience with a surprise Halloween update and harder-than-hard «Shell Shock» mode.

Spider-Man 2 Bug Turns Miles Into A Literal Cube
After the credits rolled and I was back to swinging through New York City in Spider-Man 2, I noticed something... bizarre. Miles Morales was a cube. The default Blender cube. I thought maybe this was some quirky skin for beating the game, like how Resident Evil 2 lets you play as tofu blocks, but after looking at my costumes, it became clear. The cube isn't intentional at all, it's a bug.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Will Add New Game Plus and Mission Replay Before 2024
Insomniac has a tendency to cram its games full of additive bells and whistles at launch, with plenty of modes and additional features being available in the developer’s titles to allow players to get the most out of the games. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, however, will have one or two such features missing at launch- though they will be coming in the not-too-distant future.
