Critical Role kicked off a new actual-play series in May titled Candela Obscura. Now its Darrington Press publishing imprint is ready with a tabletop role-playing game based on the same themes and mechanics. Starting Nov. 14, fans will be able to find Candela Obscura Core Rulebook for sale at their local game shop and online. But while the game may be embraced by fans of the program seeking episodic adventures set in the same fictional world, this initial release lacks either the depth or the novelty for much wider appeal.
This Dark Souls graphics mod improves draw distance so much that you can cheese one of its bosses from a whole new spot

Fromsoftserve's Dark Souls Remastered graphics overhaul mod improves the game's draw distance so much that one of its bosses can be cheesed from a brand new spot.
The Capra Demon is one of the original Dark Souls' most notoriously difficult battles, but there are some less than honorable ways to take him down if you're finding him just a tad too tough for your liking. However, without this graphics touch-up mod, you'll be missing out on what seems like a really easy way to cheese this brutal boss to death - not to mention vastly improved visuals across the board.
As you can see in this video from the modder themselves, fromsoftserve's Dark Souls Remastered graphics mod increases draw distance to a point where Capra Demon will show up on screen even while you're perched up on the high walls of Undead Burg, from which he would otherwise be invisible in the un-modded version of the game. Safe from the boss's savage machete swings, fromsoftserve advises you simply chuck fire bombs from this vantage point until it's GG for Capra.

"By editing the map files and drawparams, I've enabled dynamic shadows throughout Lordran," reads the mod's description. "Also increased LODs and tonemapping changes to facilitate better transitions between areas. More items reflected in water, as well. Added specularity to textures in some areas. Removing baked lightmaps enables much more realistic shadows."
To clarify, I haven't actually been able to test the mod and thus can't vouch for its quality or compatibility with Dark Souls Remastered, whether online or offline; this is just a neat look into one of the ways a strictly visual mod can dramatically affect gameplay.
Here are some games like Dark Souls to check out.

October is over — how many of its games could you play? | Kaser Focus
Serious question here: With all of the games that came out in October (seriously, it felt like we had at least a dozen major games releases), was it actually possible for anyone to have played all of them? That’s a question that can easily apply to the whole year, as well — could anyone actually play all (or even most) of the amazing games that came out this year? I mean, the obvious answer is no, unless they’re paid to, but that’s my point. With so many games that came out this year, even a gamer that is excited for and would like to play all of them will have to prioritize certain titles over others, as a form of triage. The reason that’s important is because I fear that some great or even good games haven’t received the fair shake that they should have this year.
