    I much preferred the last act to the first and second of season 2. Ended so strong. It's definitely a series that needs to be analyzed to get the most out of it.

    This has to be the best trailer I've ever seen. The music, the way it flows. The art looks better than season 1. I can't believe it's already been 3 years!

    Well said. It's an arms race. I wonder what it will look like if every multiplayer game needs this kind of tech in the future.

    The article mentions that currently they lost the cat and mouse game with only server-side anti-cheat. They do some local obfuscation but that's only a matter of time for hackers to bypass and right now that game has been lost. A VM being client-side would have the same issues as long as you can't trust the client. Vanguard is a way to be able to trust the client moving forward. Based on other articles I've read in the past Vanguard is currently the best anti-cheat on the market and it gives a huge headache to hackers.

    TPM allows Vanguard to uniquely identify a machine. (I don't know much about it myself but it seems to be an API provided by Microsoft.)

    I would suggest reading the article if you're interested, they answer pretty much everything and it's actually well written.

    I finally managed to implement drawing tablet support with pen pressure in my infinite canvas drawing application. https://apos.itch.io/mitten

    It's not perfect since I had to disable dotnet's trimmer which tripled the app's size. I've been meaning to support tablets since 2021 but I kept having various issues. Next step will be to support that feature in mac and linux too.

    They've also restarted doing rotating game modes. I found the experience to be pretty friendly even though I play with randoms.

    Yeah it's really impressive. The old Yasuo took me a bit until he started doing stuff and then it was obvious.
