This Minecraft map that recreates one of history’s most notorious slums made me reconsider what’s important in 3D level design

Kowloon Walled City, established on the remnants of a military fort in British Hong Kong, peaked in 1989 with over 35,000 residents in just six and a half acres, making it the most densely populated place on Earth. The area was characterized by chaotic architecture, interconnected buildings, and narrow alleyways, functioning as a vibrant hub of illegal trading and organized crime despite being classified as a slum. Architect Sluda Builds has recreated Kowloon Walled City in Minecraft, accurately positioning buildings and capturing various architectural styles, but the virtual representation lacks the vibrant life and human experiences that defined the original Walled City.

Fans of Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road have waited nine years for the game's release, which was first announced by Level-5 in 2016 and faced eight delays, including two this year. The game has received an "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating on Steam, with over 600 reviews praising its nostalgic elements and gameplay. Some users have compared their experience to moments from the film Ratatouille and expressed that the delays added depth to the game. The game features innovative adaptations of previous campaigns and recreates classic matches. However, there are critiques regarding its retail price of .99 (or .99 for the deluxe edition), which is significantly higher than earlier titles. Despite pricing concerns, the overall sentiment among fans is positive, celebrating the return of the series.

How Was THIS the First Game I Finished on My New PC?

The author recently upgraded to a new gaming PC and completed LEGO Horizon Adventures, a family-friendly game part of Sony's 2024 initiative. The game, built on Unreal Engine 5, has faced criticism for its system requirements and performance issues, but it performed well on the author's PC, especially with Nvidia's DLSS 4. The game features high production value and effective use of lighting and environmental detail, although it condenses a longer narrative into a shorter format. It was developed by Studio Gobo and Sony, not the usual TT Games team. The author created a document to track completed games and noted that LEGO Horizon Adventures is the only entry so far. The review was self-funded, with no compensation received from developers.

Battlefield 6’s XP-farming servers were inevitable, so why make progression so sluggish?

The author has spent six hours playing Battlefield 6, finding it exhilarating and reminiscent of the franchise's best days, but is concerned about slow progression rates for unlocking weapons and attachments. XP farms have emerged due to this sluggish progression, leading to a focus on farming servers rather than genuine gameplay experiences. Battlefield Studios is working to address the issue, and the author suggests that increasing XP gain in regular modes could help reduce reliance on these farms. Players are expressing mixed feelings about the XP farms, with some appreciating their benefits while others find them frustrating. The author hopes for Portal to be a creative hub rather than a means of exploitation and expresses a desire for faster progression and more loadout options.

From infostealer to full RAT: dissecting the PureRAT attack chain

An investigation revealed that a Python-based infostealer campaign led to the deployment of PureRAT, a sophisticated remote access trojan (RAT). The campaign began with a phishing email containing a ZIP archive that included a legitimate PDF reader executable and a malicious DLL. The DLL executed a series of payloads, including a Python info-stealer that harvested sensitive data and exfiltrated it via the Telegram API. The attack progressed to a .NET executable, which employed techniques like process hollowing and evasion tactics to load additional payloads. The final payload, Mhgljosy.dll, was identified as PureRAT, which established an encrypted command-and-control (C2) channel and allowed for extensive control over the compromised host. The C2 server was traced to Vietnam, suggesting a connection to the PXA group. The malware's functionality included host fingerprinting, command execution, and potential access to sensitive information and resources. Indicators of compromise included specific file hashes, registry keys, and IP addresses associated with the C2 server.
