TCG: Card Shop Simulator is a new indie title that lets you open the game store of your dreams, if only for virtual patrons. It’s a highly moddable title given it’s made in Unity, so here is how you can mod TCG: Card Shop Simulator to get the best experience.

How to install mods on TCG Card Shop Simulator

As with most Unity games, there is a single prerequisite you’ll have to install before you can run any mods on the TCG: Card Shop Simulator. To do this, you’ll have to follow these steps:

Baldur’s Gate 3 diverged from the previous entries in the series with turn-based combat, but a modder is now aiming to bring the title back to its roots. With the new mod tools, modder tinybike has sucessfully made BG3 into a game with real-time combat, though it’s still in development.

In a YouTube video published on Sept. 21, the modder showcased how they’ve implemented real-time combat into Baldur’s Gate 3, a title with a detailed and beautiful turn-based combat system. In the video, the player character and an NPC bat it out without pausing to think, though a pause function would probably help out in larger battles (like in Dragon Age: Origins or Kenshi). As the modder explains, this “barebones” system is still very early in development, and it’s probably not recommended that you take it into a campaign. Nevertheless, it’s an exciting change that could see Baldur’s Gate 3 completely shaken up when fully developed and implemented.

In line with Riot’s policy of bringing the old and battered champs of yore up to speed, at least visually, Teemo has finally had his long-awaited visual update confirmed. The redesign, while not too substantial, is slated to be released alongside League of Legends Patch 14.20.

Riot confirmed this in a Sept. 23 dev diary and gave League fans a deep dive into the creative process behind the art and sustainability update (ASU). The little critter’s old design was pretty basic and didn’t do much to highlight Teemo’s character, despite all the effort put in by the voice actor. The updated variant is precisely aiming to correct this by giving Teemo a more lively, cheerful look that actually has animated movement and a proper recall that shows him moving about rather than just, well, standing there menacingly.

Arena and Swarm have been massively successful endeavors in League of Legends, becoming some of the most played non-Summoner’s Rift game modes. However, as things stand, neither can become permanent additions, and Riot Games thinks that’s for the best.

Riot clarified its decision to make Arena and Swarm rotating modes and had a whole lot more to say in a Sept. 23 dev diary focusing on the future of the two modes. In it, Riot’s devs elaborated on the incredible success Arena had initially, but also how it saw significant losses in terms of player count after the first two months. “Arena performed very well for the first two months of its run, but then engagement started to dip significantly,” the devs said, adding, “We believe this is due to a lack of novelty and progression systems that would keep Arena players coming back.”

In 2024, it seems that every major release is followed by some small indie title that sweeps up all the players with its charm. And September is no different, as TCG Card Shop Simulator has attracted quite a few more players than even Frostpunk 2 or God of War: Ragnarok.

Released on Sept. 15, TCG Card Shop Simulator lets you “open your own local game store” and perfect the card shop experience for your virtual patrons, who won’t have to suffer those issues your only card shop in town has. The game currently sits at a whopping 95 percent positive Steam reviews, putting it in the rare and respectable “Overwhelmingly Positive” category, with players praising its simple yet addictive gameplay loop. And, given how popular trading cards themselves are, it’s no wonder that the game has managed to attract over 38,000 players during its peak on Sept. 22 per SteamDB.

A decade ago, if you were to say that a single title would drive the progress of PS4 emulation, most would likely call you madder than the beasts of Yharnam, but here we are, with Bloodborne on the PC almost within our grasp.

New videos released over the past week have showcased how capable the ShadPS4 emulator has become in bringing one of the most sought-after games to the PC platform. Just a month ago, Bloodborne barely ran without sound and with broken lighting and textures, but now it can smoothly sail across most of the game’s areas, with some bosses also fully functional. From what we can gather, it appears that only the lighting still poses a real issue, alongside general stability stuff that is likely to impact the game well after it’s available for everyone to enjoy through emulation.

The long-awaited PC release of God of War: Ragnarok has finally come; however, it seems that hype has died off at the eleventh hour and players aren’t eager to hop on, with the game’s player count at launch falling significantly below its predecessor—likely due to the criticized PlayStation Network account requirement.

Compared to the first title, which saw some 71,000 concurrent players during its heyday, Ragnarok has managed to draw in only 31,000 according to SteamDB—a sharp drop of about 60 percent. While sequels often don’t meet the expectations set by their predecessors, this much of a dip might have something to do with a broader issue, namely Sony’s PSN account requirement the company is so adamant about attaching to its titles. One would think that following the damaging effect the requirement had on Ghost of Tsushima and Helldivers 2, Sony would relent—but alas, here we are.

After a long wait, we finally know the release date and time of the second and final season of Arcane. Netflix revealed on Sept. 19 that Arcane‘s second season would launch in three Acts starting Nov. 9, and fans are barely able to contain their excitement.

This means that Arcane‘s second season would follow the same release structure as the first one, launching in three Acts containing three episodes each. Act One is slated to start things off on Nov. 9, with Acts Two and Three to follow on Nov. 16 and 23, respectively. Netflix also blessed us with the release times as well, with the show targeting 2am CDT, so be sure to set your clock. We also got to see a whole new two-minute trailer, this time featuring Vi as a brawler in the fighting pits looking mighty gnarly.

Palworld is one of 2024’s biggest hits, and was immediately compared to the Pokémon franchise as soon as it launched. Now, it seems Nintendo believes the similarities went too far, and has recently sued the game’s developer, Pocket Pair, for alleged patent infringements.

This is a massive and developing legal dispute, so here is everything we know about the Palworld vs. Nintendo lawsuit.

After gaining some popularity on Valve’s handheld devices, GTA 5 will no longer work on the platform due to a recent update to its anti-cheat of choice. This has now lead numerous players to asking refunds from Valve, who is seemingly accepting them.

GTA 5 has been out for 11 years, nine of which it has spent available on the PC, and in all that time it didn’t contain any third-party anti-cheat. That is until Sept. 17, when Rockstar announced it would be introducing the popular BattleEye anti-cheat solution to its best-selling title. While that might seem like a good move (cheaters have been a known issue in the title for a decade), this decision more or less killed GTA 5 on the Steam Deck, where Rockstar’s sandbox action enjoyed a high spot among the most-played games.
