Modders have brought Counter-Strike-style gameplay to the Sony PSP with a new open-source project called OpenStrike. This isn’t a port of Valve’s Counter-Strike, it’s a clean-room recreation built from scratch that captures the classic gameplay while avoiding Valve’s copyrighted code and assets. OpenStrike runs at the PSP’s native 480×272 resolution and achieves a locked 60 FPS on original PSP hardware. It is currently a single-player project with bots and round-based matches, Multiplayer is still in development.

May 21st is Modern Treasury's 8th birthday. We started MT in 2018 because moving money was (and honestly still is) way harder than it should be. Eight years later, we've processed $400B in volume, helped some of the most ambitious companies in fintech build their businesses, and more recently, brought stablecoins natively into the same platform alongside ACH, wire, RTP/FedNow, and push-to-card. A lot has changed. Banks have failed. Rates went up and came back down. Crypto had its cycles. The PSP landscape shifted. And through all of it, our core belief stayed the same: companies need an easy, reliable, and programmable layer to move money. Next week, @mattgmarcus, @samaarons, and I are hosting a Tech Talk to share our learnings along the way and what's coming next. Join us:

🚨 BREAKING: 100+ companies just backed Open USD, a dollar stablecoin run by a new independent company, Open Standard. Zach Abrams is interim CEO. Five-minute reaction (and personal views only.) The instinct is to count the logos when you see a lot of them. The design choices matter much more. - No mint or redemption fees by default - No arbitrary caps when you scale from $10k to $10m - Reserve yield shared by default (issuers used to keep it) This is clearly about scale, and going after the larger, industrial-grade payments volume. Open Standard runs like a financial market infrastructure. It remids me more of things like SWIFT, the card networks, the clearing houses. Owned broadly, governed by a board, a little "boring" on purpose. --- Credible neutrality is the whole game. One company's coin is a product. A coin a hundred competitors agree to share becomes a standard. The cap tables of SWIFT and the early clearing houses were the incumbents of their day in one room. This rhymes. Look at the breadth too. Banks, card networks, crypto natives, fintechs, big tech, on one coin. A global PSP, a community bank, an international long-tail player. Everyone finds an animal in the picture that looks like them. That breadth is the ultra significant bit. --- For stablecoins to get beyond their current use cases, we needed something that got rid of the penalties for scale (like mint burn fees) and could handle massive volume. Today's stablecoin use cases are a rounding error against what's coming. with ~$300B in circulation. SWIFT instructs an average of 5 to 6 trillions a day. The card networks settle trillions. Capital markets, QUADRILLIONS. The prize is moving those flows on-chain, 24/7, with the settlement guarantees regulated money actually needs. If you build payments, capital markets or treasury, this is the rails question of the decade. Read the design choices first. The logo wall is the easy story.
