I mean this in the most sincere way, and I love video games, but it’s time to pick up an analogue hobby:

I finally made it to WAFFLE HOUSE.

The staff are always friendly, and when I asked if they would sell me a menu, they sold me one for $5.
Next time, I’ll be back at 3 a.m. for fight time.

@Narukahana I ended up poking into various spots around Setagaya. They were going to let me into the Shelter, but not my friends, so we stoped by a few of the other underground bar venues. Did you have any recommendations for the area? I’ll be back in December.

Ford aims to build at least 10 new units of the popular F-Series truck in the year 2028.

[Metal Gear Network - MGN @MGSMGN]

If you haven’t seen today’s news, it’s rocked the modding community in a big way.

Earlier today Lance McDonald shared on X, “The entire source code and all assets for Metal Gear Solid 2 HD just leaked on 4chan,” likely tied to Armature Studio’s work on the Vita port.

And this goes far beyond just the HD version.

Our own MGN moderator and modder, @Afevis , whose contributions to the MGS2 and MGS3 modding scene speak for themselves (MGSHDFix) shared some early insight:

“It’s not just the HD versions in the dump, it’s the full source code for the PS2 / Xbox / PC versions, everything up to Vita. The original E3 trailer script files are here. The cut Tanker water-escape sequence. 9/11 censored scripting. Internal file editors & tooling, etc.”

When asked if there were more assets from the pre-9/11 build, he added:

“It does. At a brief glance, Arsenal Gear -> Manhattan crash stuff was censored by simply commenting out code. Likewise, there’s E3 / Demo assets. HD version was definitely made from OG source, not 100% reverse engineered as people misinterpret from old Bluepoint Games interviews.”

Modders are still digging through everything, but the implications are massive. This could mean restoring cut content, uncovering unseen material, and gaining a much deeper understanding of how the game was built.

On top of that, it gives the community more tools to preserve and refine these games going forward.

If even part of this holds true, this is a huge unexpected moment for the scene.

More to come!

THEY BLACKLISTED THE ENGINEER BEFORE THE BODY WAS COLD

Hazar Denli is a chassis engineer. His job was to make sure cars don't kill people. He was very good at it.

Working for Tata Technologies (@TataTech), he led the engineering team on VinFast's suspension and chassis systems. During testing he found the front strut-to-knuckle connection was loosening. Suspension parts were snapping off after 15,000 miles. They were supposed to last 93,000.

He told management. Nothing happened. VinFast had a Nasdaq IPO coming and didn't want to delay production.
So Denli resigned and moved to a new job at Jaguar Land Rover (@JLR_News).

Then in April 2024, a family of four died in California when their VinFast VF8 lost control, veered off the road and caught fire.

Denli posted on Reddit. He said he wouldn't get into a VinFast himself. He said he wouldn't let his family near one.
VinFast tracked down the anonymous post.

Tata Technologies HR director Patrick Flood then contacted JLR HR director Dave Williams and asked for Denli to be dismissed. The concern, in Flood's words: if he's done this now, he could do the same at JLR. Denli was fired the same day. Then blacklisted on industry recruitment platform Magnit so his future job applications would be auto-rejected.

@BBCNews obtained the internal emails proving all of it.
The NHTSA has since launched an investigation into the VinFast VF8. There are now 28 safety complaints on file.

Denli has filed disclosures with the SEC and NHTSA. He is taking JLR to an employment tribunal.

A family is dead. An engineer tried to stop it. He lost his job, his career platform access and his industry future. The companies involved declined to comment.

Nobody went to prison. Nobody recalled anything. Everyone kept their jobs except the one man doing his.
