Exploring the new world of Chinese FMV games

In January 2019, The Invisible Guardian (or 隐形守护者 in Chinese), a story-rich historical full-motion video game, or FMV, was published on the Chinese, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese Steam pages, as well as WeGame. It became a great hit, despite not receiving much advertising. It maintained a rating of 9/10 on Steam with over 48,000 reviews and 9.6/10 on Douban (essentially the Chinese equivalent of IMDB for games, movies, books, and other media), with around 32,000 reviews. Additionally, it earned a BAFTA Breakthro

Как сайты собирают цифровой отпечаток пользователя — почему VPN больше не спасает (О Fingerprinting)

Я раньше был уверен, что понимаю, как работает отслеживание в интернете. Очистил cookies - чист. Включил VPN - спрятался. Поставил блокировщик - стал почти невидимым. Звучит логично, правда?Проблема в том, что всё это работает только на уровне, который уже давно не является основным.Современные сайты не обязательно знают, кто ты. Им это и не нужно. Достаточно собрать достаточно признаков, чтобы отличить тебя от всех остальных. Версия браузера, разрешение экрана, поведение мыши,... Read more

Юзабилити‑тестирование без иллюзий, или почему технических тестов недостаточно?

Знакомая история: команда полгода шлифовала функционал, тестировщики уничтожили все баги, а пользователи уходят. Аналитик разводит руками, поддержка задыхается от тикетов, маркетинг угрожает продакту, а продакт – дизайнеру. В это время CFO считает расходы и грустно вздыхает. Больно видеть, как много появляется на рынке таких продуктов, прошедших технические проверки и проваливших испытание пользовательским опытом. Идеально работающих, но никому не нужных. Что делать, чтобы не войти в их число? Читать далее Read more

[Перевод] FastCGI исполнилось 30 лет, и он до сих пор лучше HTTP для прокси-к-бэкенду

Знаете, кому 29 апреля стукнуло 30 лет? Спецификации FastCGI. Тридцать лет с 1996 года. Погодите. Эта заметка не про ностальгию по .fcgi-скриптам, которые на каждый запрос форкали отдельный процесс и которыми сегодня никто не пользуется. И не про CGI вообще.Разговор о другом. У нас всех в проде между прокси и бэкендом обычно стоит HTTP. nginx перед Go-приложением, Caddy перед Python-сервисом, Apache перед PHP-FPM, неважно, поверх там HTTP/1.1 или HTTP/2. И... Read more

If Black Flag Resynced isn't enough for you, rumours swirl that we're also getting a full remake of the original Assassin's Creed game

After three long years of rumours, reports, leaks, a couple of official teases, we finally have confirmation that Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake is real, under the guise of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. But it seems Resynced isn't the only Assassin's Creed remake title in development, at least if you believe the chatter from a couple of reliable leakers. Read more Read more

After an hour with Directive 8020, I worry the latest Dark Pictures game feels a little flat

Supermassive's "party horror" games, as I like to call them, have become a guilty pleasure of mine. This series famously began with Until Dawn in 2015 and peaked with House of Ashes in 2021, if you ask me. (Although I enjoyed the schlocky Quarry in 2022 as well.) It's a series pitched like an interactive horror movie, where you try to shepherd a group of ill-fated characters through a slasher... Read more
