Always loved No Hard Feelings (2023) with Jennifer Lawrence and watching it tonight and noticed they've edited out quite a few scenes. Quite a few good scenes. The nude beach beat down scene, the scene sex, the "finger" trap scene.

These are hilarious scenes and Netflix just skipping over them definitely ruins it a bit.

Have they always done this? I don't think I've noticed before if they have. I kinda hate how easily altered digital media is.

And PSA for anyone looking to watch this movie for the first time, do not watch it on Netflix Canada anyway.

I’m trying to get PlayStation/DualSense button prompts working in Elden Ring while playing 2-player split screen through Nucleus Co-op. The controllers themselves work, so this is purely about changing the on-screen buttons.

My working setup is the Steam version of Elden Ring 1.6.1, Nucleus Co-op 2.4.1, the official Elden Ring Handler v40, Seamless Co-op, two PS5 DualSense controllers running through DS4Windows as virtual Xbox 360/XInput controllers, HidHide, Windows 11, and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT with Adrenalin 26.7.1. With the official Handler v40, both Elden Ring instances launch, both players can load into the world and everything works. I’m happy to continue using XInput underneath; I just want Elden Ring to display PlayStation icons instead of Xbox icons as I'm trying to play with my partner who isn't as much of a gamer as I am and I know will struggle with the wrong button prompts.

The PS5 UI mod I have replaces four relevant files for English: msg\engus\menu_dlc02.msgbnd.dcx, menu\hi\01_common.tpf.dcx, menu\hi\01_common.sblytbnd.dcx, and menu\win\02_040_optionsetting.gfx. I first tried the official handler’s built-in TechieW Elden Ring Mod Loader, but that loader is for DLL mods and simply putting the menu and msg assets in the mods folder doesn’t override Elden Ring’s archived UI files. I then tried the unofficial/WIP Mod Engine 2 Nucleus handler from the Nucleus Discord. It successfully launched the instances through Mod Engine 2 and the PS5 assets were installed in its ModEngine\mod directory, but whenever the second Elden Ring instance on Nucleus finished loading the AMD graphics driver would timeout, sometimes followed by a green-screen/display-driver failure. Reliability Monitor has previously shown a LiveKernelEvent 117. I tested Low graphics, Low textures, ray tracing off, 30 FPS and lower resolutions and it still happened. I removed the PS5 UI mod completely and tested Mod Engine with an empty mod folder and the AMD timeout still occurred, so the PS5 UI assets themselves weren’t causing it. I also modified that handler to bypass modengine2_launcher.exe, but the instability remained while using the modified handler/package.

As soon as I restored the official Handler v40, both instances loaded into the world successfully again. I then tried UXM Selective Unpacker. I selectively unpacked only those four UI files, replaced them with the PS5 versions and patched eldenring.exe so it would load loose files. With the UXM-patched executable, Nucleus gave me black screens instead of launching Elden Ring correctly. for either instance. This happened even when testing just one Nucleus instance, so it wasn’t the two-instance GPU problem. I also tried the recommended Offline-Ring UXM Mod Support EasyAntiCheat\settings.json, but the result was the same. Using UXM Restore and returning Elden Ring to a clean state immediately made the official Nucleus handler work again with two instances.

right now the results are: official Handler v40 with a clean Elden Ring installation works perfectly; official Handler v40 with a UXM-patched executable black-screens even with one instance; the unofficial Mod Engine 2 handler/package repeatedly causes AMD driver timeouts when running two instances. What I’m looking for is a way to keep the known-working official Handler v40 while making its generated Elden Ring instances load those four PS5 UI replacement assets. Ideally Nucleus would create each instance normally using the official handler, Seamless Co-op and ProtoInput/XInput setup, copy the PS5 UI files into each instance, and then use the minimum necessary loose-file/archive override mechanism to make Elden Ring actually load them, without UXM-patching the original Steam executable or replacing the working handler with the unofficial Mod Engine package.

If anyone familiar with Nucleus handler development, Elden Ring archive loading or Mod Engine internals knows of a DLL-based loose-file/archive override compatible with TechieW’s loader, a way to integrate only the necessary part of Mod Engine into the official v40 handler, another Nucleus handler method for loading loose assets, or any other way to replace these four UI files while preserving the working official handler, I’d really appreciate the help. I’m not looking for a way to make Elden Ring natively detect the DualSense controllers; DS4Windows/XInput already handles both players correctly. I only need a way to change the displayed Xbox buttons to PlayStation buttons.

Got this set up with Elden Ring and really excited to play. The only issue is the game keeps detecting my Dualsense controllers as Xbox controllers. Not the worst thing in the world I know but I'm playing with my partner who would definitely rely on reading the correct button prompts as they're not the biggest gamer and never played a game like this. I know the Xbox buttons being shown would throw them a lot.

I'm using DS4Windows to connect the controllers but in Nucleus Coop they get recognized as Xbox controllers. All of the mods I've seen online to change it to a PS5 UI requires using mod engine 2 and I don't think I can use that with Nucleus can I?

Hi all,

I played the main Elden Ring game 3 times and Erdtree twice on my PS5. I've just gotten a new gaming PC and would love to play Elden Ring on it but surprisingly Elden Ring is still full price here ($80 CAD in Canada). The Convergence mod looks good but I'm wondering is it so good that it would justify buying Elden Ring (and maybe Shadow of the Erdtree) again at full price?

Playing the Space map and my game crashes every single time I get an event space. Is this happening to anyone else? This is multiple event spaces btw, not just the same one. But the same one has crashed multiple times.

Makes the map completely unplayable.

I was on Zepbound 2.5, then 5 then 7.5 over the course of 3 months and I honestly love how it made me feel. I didn't feel hungry ever, the smallest amount of food was usually good for me and I had no cravings for bad food. I'm actually not one that really enjoys eating too much anyway because I'm kind of a picky eater anyway and I view food mostly as necessary fuel my body needs, so without hunger driving me to eat, it was ideal for me. I felt like I was finally in control of eating what I wanted and how much I wanted to eat of it.

I lost around 38lbs which I was delighted with but after around a week or two of being off it I noticed my hungry and cravings have really come back. That and food definitely tastes much better. I feel hungry all the time and of course I don't want the weight to come back.

Has anyone any tips on what they did? Should I go back on it and wean myself off? Or just go on it full time but only do injections every 2 weeks? I have heard there is an oral version of this thats either coming out soon or just come out and wondering if maybe thats a good option?

Hi all,

AuDHD adult here. I just want to preface this by saying this is not about intrusive thoughts or anything if that's how the title reads.

I'm sure some of you will relate but when I get something new in my head its all I can think about. Right now its a gaming PC. I've wanted one for years but the last week has been non stop researching and building one. Constantly on Reddit and ChatGPT building it. Even during work I was just looking stuff up. Watching videos constantly. Comparing every component to others on the market.

Well after this becoming much more of a financial drain than anticipated, I finally ordered it. The problem is I'm still gonna be obsessing until I get it and then when I do it won't stop. But its all I think about 24/7. I can't sleep. I've been up till around 3am the last few nights and I end up having to take a sleeping pill just to sleep

Does anyone have any tips for getting these obsessions out of your head or calming them down a bit so I can focus on other things like sleep? Even when watching TV or anything with my partner I'm looking stuff up. Its non-stop. My eyes are red and sore and I'm tired and I feel like my body just can't relax. I am excited, don't get me wrong, but thats likely a big part of the problem.

Hi everyone!

Like the title says, looking for games that have good mods that let me play as a female protagonist instead of a male one?

I saw a few for Ciri for TW3 but most of the posts seem to be from a few years ago about this so I'm wondering if they're still around and maybe better? I'd love one that changed the voice too rather than just a skin replacement. I'm fine using Geralts move set as I'll wait for TW4 for a full Ciri experience but never could get into TW3 but keep getting told I'm missing out. Or if there was anything for any Spider-Man games to play as Spider-Gwen etc. Or Uncharted, TloU or any other big AAA's.

I saw the Linkle mod for BotW and it looks amazing. The one for TotK seems to be almost fully complete so I might wait for that.

But anyway I know this post has existed before but I'd love an updated list if anyone has any! New to PC gaming and this has been a big want for me.

Open to all sorts of recommendations. Thanks!

Hi all,

Been a gamer most of my life but mostly on consoles. Just ordered everything for my gaming couch PC and I'm very excited to jump into it.

Hoping to get some recommendations on great games people have played that are PC only and also ones that just have amazing mods that are PC only.

I play a lot of AAA games so I've played and loved Skyrim (ehich I know has a huge mod community but if there's any specific ones please let me know), God of War games, Horizon games, TLoU games and lots others. I'm also a big fan of smaller indie games and Metroidvanias like Hollowknight, Silksong, PoP, Nine Sols and again, lots more.

So I'd love to hear some of the best games people loved to finally be able to play once moving to PC!

Hi all,

Building a gaming pc for my living room. It'll be connected into a 4k 120hz TV. Wondering if you would recommend the RTX 5070 TI or RX 9070 XT? There's currently around a $300 difference right now in Canada anyway with the RTX 5070 TI being around $1400 CAD and the RX 9070 XT being around $1100.

Is this a case of get the one I can afford or is it purely preference?

I've been using Chat to try build this but knowing how common AI hallucinations are I know I'd really benefit from human input as much as possible.

My full build will be as follows:

Case: Lian Li A3 Wood (Micro-ATX)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE Black

Motherboard: MSI MAG B850M Mortar WiFi

GPU: PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB

Memory: 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 or CL36

Storage: 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

Power Supply: Corsair RM750e 750W 80+ Gold (or MSI MAG A750GL PCIe 5.0 Gold if significantly cheaper)

Operating System: Windows 11 Home

I've been playing around for a while with different options and I think the below is what I've landed on.

Basically I'm looking for a couch console that I can game exclusively on. I'd like to play everything from AAA's to some online games like Rivals. I'll be playing on a 4K TV.

I'm unsure if SteamOS is the best to go with but open to suggestions and welcome them. Also, if anything here is "overkill" let me know as I've gone way above my original budget. But I know there are much higher spec CPU's for example so not really anticipating that.

Case: Fractal Design Ridge

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D

CPU Cooler: Thermalright AXP90-X53 (Full Copper preferred)

Motherboard: ASRock B850I Lightning WiFi (Mini-ITX)

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 (16 GB preferred; RX 9070 GRE if significantly cheaper)

RAM: 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL36 (2×16 GB)

Storage: 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD (Lexar NM790, Silicon Power UD90, TeamGroup MP44, or similar)

Power Supply: Corsair SF750 (2024) 750W 80+ Platinum SFX

Hey all,

I've posted a few times here already about builds but I'm wondering is there anyone out there who wants to buddy up be my go-to and help me get this going from start to finish? Although I am a bit handy and definitely more tech-leaning, I have no idea how to build a PC, what all the parts do and what I need.

I tried leaning on ChatGPT to help and it does give great tips and helps summarize stuff etc. but I don't know if I fully trust it to give me the best advice here as we all know sometimes it just makes up stuff. Ideally its someone who just loves to build PC's as a hobby and wouldn't mind messaging with me back and forth for a few hours or maybe weeks (obviously not 24/7 or anything 😅) and answering any questions I have, as dumb as they may be. I know that can be time consuming so I am hoping someone out there just has a huge passion for this. Or they have a build already that they think would be perfect for me and wanna share it.

Essentially I'm looking for a couch PC / console (maybe a SFF?) that I can play all sorts of games on from small indies to AAA. Originally I was looking at the Steam Machine and then some other pre-builds but the more I look into this the more I realize I wanna do it myself and learn about what I'm doing along the way. I wanna know how I can future proof my PC to be able to upgrade in the future.

So if you're nice and friendly and interested, hit me up!

Can someone help with this PC build? What I'm looking for is a PC to replace a gaming console. Ideally running SteamOS (unless otherwise recommended). Originally I wanted something small that would only run smaller, indie games but as I'm looking into it more I'm thinking I might want to build something that can handle the AAA games.

I built the below by getting a pre-built one online that seemed to suit my needs but the cost was pretty steep before factoring in the $400 build fee. But that's a business, I get it. I've never done it before but I'm thinking I might try building it myself. This seems to be a pretty good communuity so I think I could lean on others for help/advice and YouTube seems to have a ton of stuff.

Anyway, I rebuilt the pre-build I found on partpicker closesly with some changes (as recommended by AI (don't shoot me for using it!)) but like I said, I'm an amateur here. I also think the pcparts website might not have the cheapest deals, but maybe I'm wrong.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hey everyone,

So I was interested in the steam machine ever since I heard of it. I've been a gamer my whole life but only ever really on consoles except for some games like Guild Wars years ago on the family computer. I've wanted to get into PC gaming for years, especially for those smaller indie games I only ever see on Steam. Part of why I like console gaming is playing on a big tv and sitting on my couch doing it.

I've read a lot of people saying that specs wise it isn't worth it. I even asked someone on buildmeapc to build a cheaper one thats more powerful for the same price and they did but if I'm honest I don't know how capable I am of putting all that together.

Anyway, just wondering from people here, is it worth the price point? What does this give you that you didn't have before?

Hi all,

Hoping this question hasn't been asked to death but I'm looking for help with building a PC thats for light gaming. And by that I mean smaller, indie titles, metroidvanias etc. I am a big gamer but I already have a PS5 for console games so I don't need it to run those big, triple A games.

I constantly see games that look like they'd be great to play only to see them on PC only which is disappointing. My partner and I will also play some couch co-op games but a lot of them also seem to be PC only (however maybe thats only multi-player not couch co-op).

I was hoping the Steam Machine would be that, and maybe it is, I just find the price to be too much for what it is. I'm in Canada so it's nearly $2000 for one with a controller I believe. My budget was more around $500 - $600. Ideally it would be a small, table top size. I don't need a monitor, mouse or keyboard as I'll be connecting it into my TV only. If someone wants to recommend some controllers that work great with a PC that would be fantastic.

Also if this has been asked and answered sorry. I looked and what I found was most people rebuilding the Steam Machine at its current price point and it being much better but I don't need it to be high-end.

Thank you!
