Chinese Great Firewall (website access blockade and. content filter for internet traffic) is leaking data! It's a fascinating discovery of security and privacy vulnerability in a large-scale technical censorship system. Chinese firewall leaked memory due to a buffer overrun. "DNS injection devices had a parsing bug that would, under certain conditions, cause them to include up to 125 bytes of their own memory in the forged DNS responses they sent" https://gfw.report/publications/ndss25/data/paper/wallbleed.pdf

This isn't a game as such, but it's a nice little world-builder and you can make trains that drive around. Perfectly charming.

That's it, that's the review :-)

HEY EVERYBODY! We're doing REAC again and we are announcing call for submissions! Please come and talk about interesting problems! From the call:

"Talks about pipelines, workflows, culture, hard-earned lessons from the experience of engine-making, experiments and failures - all the topics that are fundamental to our craft, but hardly feature in traditional computer-graphics venues, are welcome.”

We look forward to hearing from you!

REAC: 2025 Conference.

Today marks the 20th anniversary of me arriving in Germany with my parents. If they hadn't abandoned their jobs, friends and family and taken me out of Russia, I might very well have perished by now.
Will I face the dark time caused by Trump ? I just moved to US for freedom, openness and inclusion. The world is becoming crazy.
In 2024, I settled in the US, making a significant life changes. Adjusting to a new environment and searching for work has been challenging. I grew a lot and became stronger. As the year comes to an end, I hope for more great games in the coming year, and wish everyone a peaceful and fulfilling day ahead.
One week is passed, my PC is still working stedily without reboot. 👍
"Mission: Importable - Ghost of Tsushima PC Postmortem" is good. Iteresting to see that the very 1st step is getting debug markers correct, so you can look at frame structure in RenderDoc  (without RenderDoc large parts of PC gfx dev would fall sideways...).
