Skyrim finally has comprehensive cooking, as this incredible Skyrim mod for the Bethesda RPG game overhauls its food system with recipes, better effects, places to cook, more to buy from merchants, and an entirely new system incorporated into the base game of Skyrim. Hopefully, the Elder Scrolls 6 release date comes with better Tamriel cooking, too.
Gourmet – A Cooking Overhaul turns Tamriel’s treats and ingredients into much more than health regen items and skooma, as the Simonrim team has completely changed how food and ingredients work, alongside alcohol and drugs too. Combine this with the Skyrim mod that brings Fallout 4’s coolest feature to the game, and you’re on to a winner.
There are recipes, food crafting tables, cookbooks, and a whole lot more, but the long and short of it is that foods and cooking have seen improvements, extra features, and better immersive details across all of Skyrim.
To start, different foods provide buffs to your health, magicka, and stamina. “Meats and stews provide Health Regeneration; vegetables, soups, and bread provide Stamina Regeneration; and pastries, desserts, and cheeses provide Magicka Regeneration,” the Simonrim team explains. “All food buffs last for 20 minutes by default, and the player can benefit from all three buffs at once.”
There’s even a “Homecooked Meal” you can receive once a day that boosts the regeneration of all three stats by 50%, which sounds like a godly item for sure. The Gourmet Skyrim mod also adds many more cooking pots and baking ovens across Tamriel, to make sure that you can use your recipes, ingredients, and cookbooks in many more places.
You can also buy a slew of ingredients and meals from vendors across Skyrim with this mod, with three completely new cookbooks added to permanently improve the effects of food and help with recipes, which you can then take to the extra cooking spots to make your deliciously delicate delights.
This Skyrim mod isn’t just for food though, as it also impacts alcohol and drugs across Tamriel too.
“In Gourmet, alcohol provides a long-lasting buff to either Stamina or Magicka, in exchange for an equal debuff to the opposite stat,” the Simonrim team says. “Ales and meads increase Stamina in exchange for reducing Magicka; wines and brandies increase Magicka in exchange for reducing Stamina. Alcohol comes in two tiers, common and rare. Common alcohol increases one stat (and reduces the other) by 25. Rare alcohol increases one stat (and reduces the other) by 50. All alcohol buffs last for ten minutes.”
Drugs have also been edited to be sold by caravan merchants and Thieves Guild fences, with Sleeping Tree Sap, Skooma, and Eversnow impacting your health, magicka, and stamina in a variety of ways.

In yet another major milestone for India, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday inaugurated the country's first 3D printed Post Office at the Cambridge Layout in Bengaluru.

The office spans about 1000 square feet and its construction was completed in a span of a mere 45 days, whereas traditional construction methods would have taken around 6-8 months to complete the same.
Skyrim will always be the first game I think of now whenever I see snow or spells, or anything inspired by folklore and mythology. Similarly, though it was only released in 2019, Disco Elysium has come to epitomize a certain hand-drawn visual style and focus on choices and dialogue – if I’m thinking character-driven, well-told drama, my mind goes first to ZA/UM’s RPG game. And this is where Black Book comes in, a dark, wintry adventure with an in-depth lore, turn-based combat, and extremely stylish world design. And the best part, it’s available now for free on the Epic Games Store.
Starfield is almost upon us, and it’s one of the most highly anticipated RPG games this year. Bethesda has gone all out with its space setting, bringing features from familiar games we all know and love to the upcoming Starfield.

If you're anything like me, you've spent approximately 52,000 hours staring at the world map of Skyrim, gaily fast travelling between cities and landmarks. Well guess what? Now you can stare at it for another reason-defying amount of time, but on your actual, physical tabletop, because PC Gamer is teaming up with Modiphius to give away a Skyrim: The Adventure Game set, the board game version of the game you can play on your PC, your console, and your voice assistant.
In Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition, warlocks don't get a lot of spell slots from whatever patron they cut a deal with to get their magic powers. It's not as bad as it seems though, both because those spell slots refresh even if you take just a short rest, and because warlocks have access to one of the best cantrips in D&D.
The "Messi Magic" is proving to be a game-changer for MLS Season Pass, as it has logged a remarkable surge in subscribers following the entry of soccer icon Lionel Messi into the league. The exponential growth has been confirmed by Inter Miami club owner Jorge Mas, who shared the news via a tweet.
There's no denying Skyrim's brilliance, but if I had to pick a fault with it, it's the lack of a quest-giving feature in towns and villages (unless, of course, you resort to mods). Thankfully, that won't be the case for Bethesda's next mammoth RPG offering, as producer Jamie Mallory has confirmed that Starfield will feature mission boards.
Even some of the best PCs struggle with the demanding system requirements of modern games, and the Steam Deck is no different. The demands of the best Steam Deck games can leave the handheld struggling to keep up, so it’s no wonder why some have taken it upon themselves to mod the available RAM on Valve’s PC gaming handheld.
If you ever want an understanding of how Skyrim has managed to stay alive these past 12 years, just look to the modding community. There are tons of ways to tweak The Elder Scrolls 5, and a new one has recently come out that takes cues from one of Rockstar’s most critically acclaimed releases.
