+_You can [watch the recording here][talk-dns2utf8-video]._
+
+This month, [@dns2utf8] gave a [talk][talk-dns2utf8-video] about
+how to build a multiplayer game with actix-web that people with
+any modern browser shipping JavaScript, Canvas Context2D and Websocket can play.
+
+> How coding a system with so many independently moving parts is less about
+> the bits and bytes but more about the high-level capabilities rust offers.
+> In this talk Stefan Schindler @dns2utf8 focused on how he designed
+> the whole system from concept to implementation including
+> hosting it on a CO2 neutral server.
+
+You can play the MultiPlayer Snake game itself on [mps.estada.ch].
+
+Also, a [follow-up text note][talk-dns2utf8-followup] was released.
