Written by Liana Ruppert 
Modders are back once more to make Super Mario 64 even better than we remember, this time adding ray tracing into the mix. The 1996 classic just got another modernized makeover, this time with the inclusion of a new visual flourish.
As part of Mod Corner, I love sharing new ways that fans put their personal touches on some of our favorite games. Super Mario 64 itself is no stranger to being a fertile ground for growing mod ideas, but when a friend dropped the below video in Discord with the caption "I bought a $1500 GPU to play Super Mario 64 with RTX," I couldn't help but to laugh and share:

Not really, but it is nifty when looking at what a difference ray tracing can make, especially with older graphics and when looking at those glorious water animations.
When Super Mario 64 released back in 1996, the 3D Nintendo game shifted how we looked at video games in an entirely different way. It was revolutionary for its time and to this day is a treasured experience that Nintendo fans love to revisit time and time again. Mods like this allow players to revisit beloved games like this, just with a little newness thrown in there for those that want it.
Want more mods? The above YouTuber has a plethora of videos on their channel centering around mods for Nintendo, Sega, and other big-name companies and the games they deliver.
What do you think of Super Mario 64 ala ray tracing? A cool tweak or does the idea of modding classics put you off? Sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below! Also!

Written by Liana Ruppert 
CD Projekt Red has shared a threat the studio has received regarding a ransomware attack threatening to release Cyberpunk 2077's source code in its entirety. In a recent post, CDPR shared details of an alleged hacker that is threatened to release important data of the game should the hacker's demands not be met.
The polish studio took to Twitter to share a note sent by the hacker in question, claiming that they not only have the source code for Cyberpunk 2077, but also Gwent and The Witcher 3 as well. Regarding the Witcher series, the note alleges that it has an "unreleased version" of the game alongside incriminating data such as HR documentation to release to the public.

In the above tweet, the studio says that an "unidentified actor" has bypassed all admin protections, firewalls, and data encryption belonging to CDPR. The studio states its backups "remain intact" and that the IT infrastructure has been restored in order to begin securing the data exposed.
"We will not give in to the demands nor negotiate with the actor, being aware that this may eventually lead to the release of the compromised data," warns CDPR. "We are taking necessary steps to mitigate the consequences of such a release, in particular by approaching any parties that may be affected due to the breach."
The Cyberpunk 2077 team also added that the company is already in talks with law enforcement and the President of the Personal Data Protection Office to further their investigation.
The cyber attack comes on the heel of a disastrously chaotic launch. From pre-launch talk about toxic work cultures to misleading marketing, the road to Cyberpunk 2077's release has been incredibly rocky, to say the least.
