In Starfield, Earth has become a desolate wasteland with only minimal evidence that humans ever lived there. To rectify this, someone has made our home world that little bit more lush with fresh fauna and sea life.
Over on Nexus Mods, user Ainsy has managed to restore Earth’s atmosphere, breathing a bit of life into the dead planet. While it’s not a complete restoration, the mod does give back the atmosphere, as well as the oceans, some creatures, all culminating in basically turning it into a jungle biome.
Starfield all but abandoned our planet for the main story, but this download will give you at least one more reason to revisit this extinct rock we once called terra firma.
With life restored, Ainsy’s mod means that Earth now has some signs of life again, which includes outposts, enemy bases, and some mining facilities. So if you were hoping to land here in order to get away from danger…nope. It’s business as usual.
Since launching at the beginning of September, Starfield has been at the mercy of the modding community. New content and tweaks to the vanilla experience continue to make their way to the surface. The fan-made Community Patch – the collaborative effort of a series of modders – is also here to fix any bugs that Bethesda has yet to address.
Now that hype for the has died down, a lot of players may be starting to see the lack of staying power that something like Skyrim has. Custom mods will keep people coming back for more (on PC at least), but it won’t be long before conversations surrounding the elusive Elder Scrolls 6 begin anew.

Yesterday, the NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) detected a coronal mass ejection (CME) that appeared to be coming towards the Earth. The early assessment revealed that it could hit the Earth in the late hours of November 11, although it wasn't clear whether the strike would be a direct one or a glancing blow. Earlier today, NASA ran the data through its prediction model and we have a much clearer picture of what is to come. The CME is now expected to hit the Earth tomorrow, November 12. It is also expected to be a head-on collision, and the solar storm can reach an intensity of G2-class.
This twin-pack of Amiibo figures is a must-have for Metroid Dread fans.
With the holiday season underway, NetherRealm Studios is joining in on the festivities with some holiday Mortal Kombat 1 Fatalities, including a Thanksgiving-themed one. It, like every other Fatality, is pretty gory, but that might not be what grosses you out about it.
When you let modders lose on PC games, you get a mishmash of all sorts of ideas. Starfield has already had Daleks added to its universe, and someone felt it was time for Doom to get the Doctor Who treatment as well.
This Thrustmaster controller for Xbox and PC comes with industrial-quality components and plenty of extra customization features.
Baldur's Gate 3 has already received many updates and improvements since its early August launch, thanks to four major patches and several smaller hotfixes.
One of the major draws of Starfield is the ability to pilot your own spaceship. However, the downside to this is having to trek all the way back to where you parked your ship before you can fly it. Fortunately, someone has solved this little problem.

Dark Horse is continuing to expand its growing lineup of figures based on the Witcher games. The series is known for its colorful assortment of beasts and monsters, so it's only fitting that some of those creatures join the likes of Geralt and Imlerith in your collection.
If you're anything like me, you were a little underwhelmed by Starfield's outpost systems. We're eight years out from Fallout 4, but the process of plonking down habitats and mining rigs on the games' fifty bajillion planets didn't feel much different to building tin sheds for the Wasteland's countless hapless farmers back in 2015. If only we could build our own space stations. My own orbital prison hulk would really hit the spot.
