Episode #0039 – Oblivion Remake Rumors, CVE Crisis, and the 4chan Hack (Livestream from 04/21/2025)

In this episode, we kick things off with a roundtable on what we’ve been playing. Then we dive into the rumored Oblivion remake, reportedly in development by Virtuos Games using Unreal Engine 5. With a potential release date of April 21, 2025, and the Skyblivion fan project also on the horizon, it’s a great time to be a fan of Tamriel.

We then unpack the recent CVE crisis, where MITRE nearly lost funding for the program that standardizes vulnerability tracking across the industry. Although CISA stepped in with a temporary extension, concerns about long-term governance and global fragmentation remain high.

Finally, we explore the major security breach at 4chan, allegedly carried out by rival site Soyjak.party. Leaked source code, moderator identities, and backend access raise big questions about the future of anonymous platforms and the limits of digital privacy.
