Mullet Mad Jack review: a simple and ultra-stylish corridor crash
- Mullet Mad Jack is a stylish and fun single-player roguelike FPS game.
- The game is set in a 90s anime-inspired retro-future ruled by robot billionaires who must feed a superbeing AI with dopamine.
- The player controls Jack, who is a Moderator employed to kill other robots in a deranged game show setting, but also on a quest to murder the robillionaires and free a hostage.

- The tower has ten levels, each composed of ten stages and rewards players for killing enemies in creative and explosive ways.

- One of the unique features of the game is that the upgrades give off an illusion of choice. Many are weaker than others, affecting the build crafters.
- The game has multiple robillionaires, each with their unique ways of challenging the player, and an Endless mode for additional challenges.
- Despite a limited variety of enemies, the game remains fun and frantic with additional difficulties for those seeking more challenging gameplay.
- This review is based on a review build of the game provided by the developer.

Windows Containers on AWS Fargate: Launch time improvements
- An AWS blog post highlighted the Fargate service engineering improvements that have reduced the infrastructure ready time by up to 42% for Windows Server 2022 Core on the platform.
- Windows Server OS and Windows Server container images are more complex than those for Linux, which explains why their launch times are typically longer.
- Windows task launch times on AWS Fargate are mainly comprised of the time it takes Fargate infrastructure to be ready and the time needed to pull container images.
- Optimizing Windows Server AMIs, using EC2 Fast Launch and making recent changes to reduce latencies are some of the enhancements made in Fargate to improve launch times for Windows Server tasks.
- Users can optimize Fargate Windows launch performance for their Windows Server tasks by keeping their application image up-to-date and using Windows Server Core images.
- AWS Fargate can help speed up Windows launches by pre-executing some of the steps using pre-provisioned snapshots.
- Fargate worker processes replacing a networking proxy and initiating bootstrap immediately after Windows Server OS boots have both helped reduce the infrastructure ready time by up to 42%.
- Windows container launch processes can be optimized by using EC2 Fast Launch, keeping the application image up to date, and consuming Windows Server Core images.
- Fargate Windows caches the latest and previous month's Windows Server core base images provided by Microsoft so that the layers of the container images defined with the task are not pulled from the registry every time a task starts.
- Fargate Windows supports mission-critical applications, such as SAP, .NET, and MSMQ, and eliminates the heavy lifting of managing the underlying Windows host OS.
