Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree raises the bar for “fashion souls” players who chase the RPG’s ultimate endgame: finding the cleanest fit possible. And by “raises the bar” I mean it establishes the concept—at least lore-wise—that you can just strap a demigod to you like you’re giving them a piggyback ride. The ultimate drip. Sadly, it isn’t possible to equip a demigod backpack in the game normally, so ApolloHoo has released a mod to fix that.
“Ranni’s Promised Consort Tarnished” isn’t the most descriptive title for a mod, but the images on the Nexus Mods page get the point across: You can wear everyone’s favorite moon witch on your back like Godfrey’s lion or a certain boss in the DLC. She doesn’t do anything special back there but if you’re a newlywed in new game+, you can think of it like a honeymoon in the Lands Between.
Comments on the Nexus Mod page say it can be tricky to install. You need to unzip the folder, which can throw up errors (it did for me), and drag the files into a Mod Engine 2 folder. A few people in the comments have uploaded “fixed” contents of the folder, but I’ll let you decide how much you trust downloading files from random Nexus Mod strangers. Some commenters say they got it working without any extra help. It’s worth scrolling through the comments though, there are instructions for how to prevent Ranni from showing up misaligned on your character and how to switch which weapon makes her appear (by default it’s the Finger Seal).
Modder ApolloHoo has a similar mod available that will spoil a fight in the DLC for you, but it could help you understand how to get backpack Ranni working properly if you’re having trouble. ApolloHoo actually has several mods that recycle NPC and enemy models for alternative uses, like a mod that turns your horse into the Divine Dragon from Sekiro or one that makes Fia’s bed into a weapon for some reason.
Hopefully ApolloHoo can clean up the mod files or write out an installation tutorial because I need backpack Ranni to cast some frost spells and maybe even let you exchange some runes for buffs or level ups. The Seamless Co-op modder had better watch out; backpack Ranni could be the only co-op partner you’ll ever need.

It seems that “secret international discussions” have led to an export ban for quantum computers of a certain level of power, despite scientists around the world being unable to actually explain why.
Quantum computers might seem to be a work of science fiction, but they do exist and are used by academic institutions and computing businesses around the world. Even though they’re very limited in capability right now, it hasn’t stopped multiple governments from secretly agreeing to limit the export of them to other countries, leaving computer scientists puzzled over the logic behind the decision.
That’s according to New Scientist and it contacted the UK government for an explanation for export restriction, only to be told that the request was denied on the grounds of security. You might think that this is a very sensible decision because quantum computers are supposed to be able to crack any encryption in the blink of an eye.
However, while that’s theoretically possible, quantum computers right now are too basic and error-prone to be able to do this. In fact, such machines are so far off achieving this kind of computing zenith that there’s no logical reason to limit their export.
Of course, anything to do with computing, be it quantum, AI, or encryption, typically invokes a heavy-handed approach by authorities, especially those who worry about other states getting ground on them in the world of technology.
News that the UK had put export restrictions in place came to light last month, with quantum computers sporting more than 34 qubits and a specifically low enough error rate being the main ones blocked. What’s particularly unusual about this latest news is that other countries have followed suit, creating export controls that match the UK’s word-for-word, specification-for-specification.
Such countries include France, Spain, and the Netherlands, which might lead one to think that this is an EU thing. However, Canada has also done the same so it’s clearly not limited to Europe. New Scientist contacted the French embassy, where a spokesperson claimed that the controls were set on the basis of “multilateral negotiations conducted over several years under the Wassenaar Arrangement.”
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
That’s an agreement to control the sales of arms and goods that have military applications, so it raises the question as to why some governments think quantum computers meet the criteria for the arrangement. Milan Godin, an adviser to the EU, told New Scientist that quantum computers are a type of technology that has the potential to crack encryption and the potential to improve military strategies, and this could be the reason behind the move.
The upshot of this is that if you can afford to buy a quantum computer, then it looks like you’re only going to get your hands on an extremely rubbish one. For academic institutions that have set aside funds to continue research in quantum computing, this will probably mean such endeavours will have to be abandoned.
If you were hoping to see a quantum computer run a spaceship and make you a cup of Earl Grey tea (hot) in your lifetime, it looks like you’re going to be disappointed.

There are six rows of five boxes presented to you by Wordle each day, and you’ll need to work out which five-letter word is hiding among them to win the daily puzzle.
Start with a strong word like ALIVE—or any other word with a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You should also avoid starting words with repeating letters, so you don’t waste the chance to confirm or eliminate an extra letter. Once you’ve typed your guess and hit Enter, you’ll see which letters you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
Your second guess should compliment the first, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you might have missed on the first row—just don’t forget to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer. After that, it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the correct word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words and don’t forget letters can repeat too (eg: BOOKS).

Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn’t long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.
Somewhere between dungeon crawler and visual novel and satire we’ve got upcoming game Mops & Mobs: A Sweeping Dungeon Novel—release date to be announced, demo available now. In it you’re the janitor for a fantasy dungeon populated by weird monsters, often-raided by adventurers, and lorded over by some kind of Dungeon Master who, it seems, is well-loved but not particularly capable.
“Welcome to your new job! As the dungeon’s janitor you take care of our monsters’ well-being, pick up adventurers’ left-over limbs, decorate the dungeon and find ways to let our beloved Dungeon Master look more competent,” reads the official description.
Billing itself as a “Visual Novel slash Dungeon Crawler slash Room Decoration Simulator” I must say that Mops & Mobs has a really charming, fairly lo-fi aesthetic that blends 2D sprites with 3D environments in a way that gamers of a certain predilection (me) find very compelling. Of course I want to clean up the severed limbs. Of course I want to satisfy the rat-chefs in the dungeon mess and also decorate the dungeon mess.
Mops & Mobs is made by Rat King Entertainment, a German indie duo who’ve been in games for quite a while now. Their previous Steam releases are the short little indie adventure Solitune and the first-person puzzler Tri: Of Friendship and Madness, which is about summoning little triangular platforms by placing end points.

The release of the REDkit modding tools has opened up The Witcher 3 like a Yuletide goose, resulting in finds like an extended version of the ending in which Yennefer pulls off a shocking betrayal. Less plot-relevant but still pretty neat, modder MerseyRockoff has found the audio and text files for a cut series of quests where Geralt could enter a string of boat races, and set about recreating them.
As MerseyRockoff notes, “all the conversations, characters, notices and journal entries featured in the mod were originally written by CDPR, but re-created and brought to life by me using REDkit.” That means the Boat Races mod feels like a seamless insertion into The Witcher 3, with Geralt having fully voiced conversations with race organizers and various townsfolk about competitive boating, as well as overhearing relevant chatter on the street.
The races themselves have you choose between representing Novigrad or Redania, who sponsor the competitions, in four tournaments: the Novigrad Regatta, the Oxenfurt Regatta, the Helmsman’s Dash, and the Rally of the Wrecks. Each sees you racing between burning wooden checkpoints, with a bundle of cash and experience points waiting if you win.
To install the Boat Races mod, you’ll need to put the modBoatRaces folder in the Mods subdirectory of your Witcher 3 install, and the dlcBoatRaces folder in the DLC folder of your install. Then run Script Merger to check for conflicts, and you’re off to the races. Check our list of the best Witcher 3 mods for more.

Way back in 2008, the Morningtide set introduced a mechanic called Prowl. It let you play cards with the creature type Rogue for less mana if you’d damaged another player (rather than their creatures) earlier that turn. The Assassin’s Creed crossover brings Prowl back, only renamed Freerunning and with its reduced cost applied to the Assassin creature type instead. That means if I can sneak even a single point of damage past an opponents’ defenses, I can bring down a whole gang of bargain bonus Brotherhood buddies immediately after.
I do this by playing the Hookblade Veteran, who has a zipline that means he counts as flying on my turn and can bypass most defenses. One of my opponents does have something that can block flying attackers—a Towering Viewpoint, which has the flight-blocking keyword Reach—so first I make sure to take that out with a Poison-Blade Mentor. How do I poison a tower to death? Must be Animus magic. Like that one Assassin’s Creed Origins DLC where you visit the literal afterlife, It’s best not to question these things.
By the end of the match I’ve also brought out Rooftop Bypass, which gives me a free Assassin token whenever I damage a player, and Ezio, Blade of Vengeance, who lets me draw a card for the same thing so long as an Assassin is the one doing the damage. Which they are, because my deck is chock full of them. It’s a lovely little engine I’ve built, except that I didn’t really build it, because I’m playing a pre-constructed deck.
While booster packs are available, the Assassin’s Creed crossover also comes in a starter kit with two 60-card decks. One is themed around Eivor from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, a videogame I haven’t played because it’s like 100 hours long and honestly the AssCreed games start to feel like butter spread over too much toast by the time they hit 50 hours. I’m sticking with the Ezio-themed starter deck instead, which I suspect will be a popular choice.
It’s tempting to build a deck around a different theme, though. With cards like Jackdaw, Edward Kenway, Coastal Piracy, Ballad of the Black Flag, Mary Read and Anne Bonny, and Adéwalé, Breaker of Chains, you’ve got the beginnings of a pirate deck, but I could also see an every-color historical characters deck built around figures like Cleopatra, Leonardo, and Sokrates. Or a tweaked version of this Freerunning Assassin deck that’s built around Evie and Jacob Frye rather than Ezio.
The latter two characters are depicted on a couple of my favorite cards, at least in terms of the art. Evie is shown sneaking along a railing above a train station, with Jacob visible down on the platform getting into a fistfight. Jacob’s card shows the same brawl from ground level, and if you look closely beyond the smoke above him you can see Evie’s silhouette in the corner. Meanwhile, the card showing Ezio synchronizing on a rooftop lines up with a bunch of other cards to form the skyline of Rome, while some of the historical figures come in alternate versions printed in their native language.
(Image credit: Wizards of the Coast)
These cute touches and displays of attention to detail, as well as the frankly gorgeous art, keep me feeling positive about these videogame crossovers. While the Fallout set’s Commander decks were a personal favorite, the Assassin’s Creed cards are still fun to try out and, in the Ezio deck, tightly themed around murdering people from rooftops—which is all I want. It’s left me feeling hopeful for the upcoming Final Fantasy crossover, since the official Final Fantasy card game is a bit of a dud.

So far, Magic’s dips into videogame territory have worn the clothes of their new settings well enough to blend in seamlessly. Given the choice between these and the endless licensed CCGs of the late ’90s that used to rip off Magic without being nearly as good, I’d rather have more of these professionally designed and slickly produced official crossovers.

Every day Wordle presents you with six rows of five boxes, and it’s up to you to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them.
You’ll want to start with a strong word like ALERT—something containing multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeat letters. Hit Enter and the boxes will show you which letters you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
You’ll want your second go to compliment the first, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer.
After that it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).

Multiplayer survival game Rust continues to get bigger and deadlier with each passing patch. This month’s update, called Road Renegades, adds new vehicles like motorbikes and bicycles, a traveling vendor in an armored truck, and…
Oh, no. Oh, no no no. The update also adds handcuffs.
(Image credit: Facepunch)
Rust players can take each other prisoner now. Excuse me, sorry, I’m just going to have a vivid and traumatic flashback to playing DayZ in 2014.
There I was, having just spawned on the beach with barely enough time to even look around, when three heavily geared players suddenly showed up and surrounded me. Spawn camping was nothing new in DayZ, and I didn’t particularly care if they just shot me because I could respawn without losing anything, but they had more than that in mind. They told me to put my hands up, then had me kneel down. They handcuffed me—neither the first or last time that would happen to me in DayZ—and then one of them used a blood collection kit on me. The moment my blood was drawn, they executed me with a single shot to the back of the head. It was cold, all the more so because it was so efficiently done.
Not that Rust isn’t absolutely brutal, too, and I’m not saying handcuffs aren’t a logical addition to the multiplayer murderbox. It’s just that being handcuffed and at the whims of other players can pretty quickly progress to a level of ugly that goes beyond just getting beaten or shot to death.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s also a prisoner hood you can put on a handcuffed player to not only restrict their actions but their vision, as it’ll block everything but a small sliver at the bottom of their screen. What can you do with someone who’s handcuffed and hooded? Abduct them, of course! Load them onto one of the new bicycles or motorcycles that come in the update—there’s a three-wheeled bicycle variant that has a seat you can force a prisoner into, and the motorcycle has a sidecar. Being hooded stops players from looking at their map so they won’t know even where you’re taking them. Scary!
Prisoners won’t be entirely helpless, though, because there’s a “minigame” that allows them to eventually break free. It’s not much of a game, really: it looks like you just hold down the attack button while a meter fills, and when it does, the handcuffs break. But if someone pushes or injures the handcuffed player, it will reset their escape progress. So if you’re handcuffed, be prepared to be shoved around a lot, too.

At least the update adds someone new to Rust who won’t try to cuff and abduct you: a traveling vendor. In a truck that broadcasts music like the ice cream man (but has armor plating and laser-guided turrets mounted on the roof) this vendor will appear on roads selling resources and weapons, driving around for 30 minutes at a time, and stopping if you run over to his truck to buy something.

On my never-ending quest to find the most compelling city-builder, I stumbled upon Tiny Kingdom’s demo. This game is a building and management roguelike deckbuilder, where you collect cards, balance the books, and try to expand your tiny village into a glorious kingdom.
After a quick first game, I felt like I was almost getting the hang of things, so I decided to give it another go to see if I could beat my high score of a village of 20, you get 2 villagers for every house you build so I didn’t think it would be too difficult. Fast forward to an hour and 15 settlements later, I finally made some serious progress and ended with a village of 168, which is probably more like a small town at that stage. But after running into a dead end, I had to abandon the run and start over again, roguelike-style.
Tiny Kingdom isn’t terribly complex, especially compared to city builders like Manor Lords or Synergy, which have intricate economic and social systems that you also have to account for. Instead of trading or cutting down nearby trees, in Tiny Kingdom, you build your city by collecting cards.
You can get cards that let you build houses that’ll grow your population size and allow one free draw from your deck, cards that’ll let you plant hops of wheat that’ll give you two coins in return, and a card for a pier that’ll grant you new island pieces that you can use to expand the land your kingdom is built on. The longer you play, the more cards you’ll unlock: averns, mills, bakeries, and castles, each one has its own perks. I actually don’t know how many there are—it’s something that I’ll find out as I reach higher population sizes.
If you thought managing the buildings sounded hard, the cards in your deck aren’t unlimited. To get more, you either need to build structures or gather resources. Trees and stone appear on random island pieces, and can be gathered if you use a lumberyard or quarry card. Gather the resources and the game will automatically add a wooden or stone house to your deck for later use. But if you run out of cards in your deck, then that’s the end of the line—you’ll have to pack everything up and start again.
(Image credit: Neltile)
You have to monitor the kingdom’s coffers, too. It costs one gold coin to draw a card, and as you only start with 10 coins, you need to turn a profit consistently throughout the game to be able to draw more cards and carry on playing. Planting crops will give you a small amount of money, but I found the best way to build your hand is to use house-building cards. These will let you pick up a subsequent card after you place the cottage down, so it’s an excellent way to stay on top of your money.
There’s a clear cycle of extracting and building in Tiny Kingdom, and once you get the hang of it, everything takes care of itself. But it’s precariously balanced, and sometimes all it takes is one bad deck for it all to come crashing down.

That’s part of the fun of roguelike deck builders—luck does play a small part in your success.
The cards you get are quite random. There is some pattern as to when you unlock different ones, but it’s not always predictable. One run I had, where I was doing really well for my kingdom with a healthy coin purse and a bustling population, was stunted because no matter how many trees I cut down, it only gave me houses and no piers, which meant I couldn’t get any more land, so after a while, I just ran out of space to build.
This can be frustrating, especially when you lose a run due to circumstances that feel out of your control, but that’s part of the fun of roguelike deck builders—luck does play a small part in your success.
I haven’t been able to expand my kingdom beyond 168 people so far, but that hasn’t stopped me from trying. And no matter how many times I play, I always seem to end up with an island that looks completely different. I’ve taken a screenshot of my kingdoms at the end of each run just to compare how different each one is. I’ve had kingdoms full of ponds, vast blocks of land full of trees and fields of wheat, and one that ended up looking like a cosy megacity where I built every house in the same area.
Like I said, I haven’t progressed past 168 residents so far, so I don’t actually know where the limit is to finding new cards and expanding your island. As this is only a demo, I’d expect even more to be added once it releases in full (although there’s no specific date for that yet). But for the time being, Tiny Kingdom is a brilliant deckbuilding roguelike demo with a moreish premise and plenty of options to make a kingdom the way you want it to be.

Four yellow letters? Brilliant. I thought I was staring at a quick win. Instead, I found myself staring at… four yellow letters in a different order on the next row too. Wordle shouldn’t be allowed to do that to me, not this early in the morning. This spectacular fumble did at least leave me with just the winning answer left to try, but I do wish I hadn’t taken the scenic route to it.

Wordle help: 3 tips for beating Wordle every day
A good starting word can be the difference between victory and defeat with the daily puzzle, but once you’ve got the basics, it’s much easier to nail down those Wordle wins. And as there’s nothing quite like a small victory to set you up for the rest of the day, here are a few tips to help set you on the right path:
A good opening guess should contain a mix of unique consonants and vowels.
Narrow down the pool of letters quickly with a tactical second guess.
Watch out for letters appearing more than once in the answer.
There’s no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don’t need to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way, you can come back to it later if you’re coming up blank. Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares.

Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and you’ll need to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them to keep up your winning streak.
You should start with a strong word like ARISE, or any other word that contains a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You’ll also want to avoid starting words with repeating letters, as you’re wasting the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you’ll see which ones you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
Your second guess should compliment the starting word, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer. With a bit of luck, you should have some coloured squares to work with and set you on the right path.
After that, it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).

Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn’t long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.
