Less than one week after DeepSeek’s “Sputnik moment,” OpenAI is releasing its o3-mini reasoning model to the public. This is the first OpenAI reasoning model that is not tied to a subscription—you can use it for free. Reasoning models are far more accurate than typical LLMs. They utilize a “chain of thought” system to “think” before answering questions and self-correct mistakes. As a result, they’re the ideal option for difficult prompts, especially those that involve difficult math....

Time to whip out your protoculture If reading the words “Titanfall-likes”made you frown, I hear you, but withtheTitanfallseries on indefinite hold, my guess is there are a lot of people out there who have a giant robot shaped hole in their videogame hopes and dreams right now. So while I could have led this post with something about “Blaster Master-likes” or “Metal Warriors-likes” or “Kirby Planet Robobot-likes”, that might have caused the sadTitanfallfans in the audience to pass this post by, which would have been a shame, because this post is just as much for them as anyone else....

This collaboration was first announced back in 2015, with Nintendo and Universal saying they wanted to launch a variety of “immersive experiences” based on Nintendo properties at Universal Studios parks around the world, with the first of these being built in Osaka, Japan....

The recently surfaced image of theRed Dead Redemption: The Outlaws Collectionmay have given fans hope, but now that is all falling apart. While the image implies the existence of aRed Dead Redemptionremake, bundled with anext-gen port ofRed Dead Redemption 2, it is all very likely fake.

All of this was further fueled when Rockstar Games purchased Ruffian Games, the studio responsible for releasingHalo: The Master Chief Collection....

I haven’t heard aboutSepterra Core: Legacy of the Creatorin ages. The Western styled JRPG came out at a time where I was forced to do silly old high school exams, and everything else already looked really fancy in 3D thanks to theQuake IIengine, or started to look amazing withQuake III Arenadoing the rounds in demo form. But once in a while you see a mention ofSepterra Coresomewhere on the Internet. A lot of reviews bitched about the archaic graphics when it was released, which is a non-issue by now, and how it was just not as good as the console RPGs on the market....

Jason Buxton’s psychological thriller,Sharp Corner, takes a smart approach towards critiquing masculinity tangential to life purpose. The story, originally written by Russell Wangersky, was part of a larger compilation of shorts inWalk Away. The book unconventionally explores what happens when people’s coping skills to manage trauma or life difficulties go astray. Buxton’s adaptation, while a little thin, is nerve-wracking in all the right places, bringing us into a chaotic character study you can’t look away from....
