While this doesn’t feel like much substance alone, Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb – one of the first people to mention this spin-off’s existence – also had an interesting reaction when discussing the project. Speaking on his daily Game Mess Mornings show, guest Lex Luddy asked him if he thinks “the God of War thing will finally show up”. With a wry smile, Grubb responded: “Who could say? I certainly could not.” So, there’s not much to go on here really beyond a bunch of teasing and assertions, but stranger things have happened. Shadow drops do tend to get decent momentum, and we daresay a side-scrolling God of War game would attract a lot of interest. What’s going to be particularly fascinating about this one is which platforms it’s on. PS5 is a lock, of course, but could Sony also explore the S...

Tuesday, Feb 10, 2026 • Brian Lopez : Contact UTA's Smart Agriculture Research Center grand opening. (UTA Photo) In the last year, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), commonly known as bird flu, swept through chicken coops across the nation, killing egg-laying hens and contributing to rising egg prices. The outbreaks underscored how vulnerable food systems can be to rapidly spreading biological threats and how urgently new predictive tools are needed to help producers respond. That’s why the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) partnered with The University of Texas at Arlington to deve...

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, went missing Jan. 31 from her Arizona home in a disappearance case that’s captured significant national attention. Folks at the FBI say they don’t have any suspects in her potential abduction, but video and still images from a Nest surveillance camera released on Tuesday show a masked figure at Guthrie’s door that morning. The new images have led to something that happens in virtually every high profile criminal case these days: Social media users are running the images through generative artificial intelligence tools like xAI’s Grok, trying to get a proper looking picture of the suspect without his mask. But that’s just not how AI works. Better than nothing? Matt Wallace, a popular distributor of misinformation on X...

Grasshopper Manufacture has just released ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN on PC. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, it’s time now to benchmark it and examine its performance on PC. For our benchmarks, I used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX 6900XT, RX 7900XTX, RX 9070XT, as well as NVIDIA’s RTX 2080Ti, RTX 3080, RTX 4090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090. I also used Windows 10 64-bit, the GeForce 591.86, and the Radeon Adrenalin Edition 26.1.1 drivers. Grasshopper Manufacture has added a few graphics settings to tweak. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Textures, Global Illumination, Foliage, Shadows, and more. The game also has support for AMD FSR 3.0, NVIDIA DLSS 4, and Intel XeSS 2.0. However, the in-game settings are completely broken. Let me explain what I mean. For some strange...

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are heavily altered industrial products that contain added fats, sugars, starches, salts, and chemical additives such as emulsifiers. Common examples include sodas, packaged snacks, and processed meats. During manufacturing, many natural nutrients are removed, leaving foods that are very different from their original form. These products often include ingredients the human body has not historically encountered. Today, ultra-processed foods make up nearly 60% of the average adult diet in the United States and about 70% of children's diets. Previous research has shown that people who eat large amounts of ultra-processed foods are more likely to develop metabolic syndrome. This condition includes overweight and obesity, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol le...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:The quantum property of superposition is commonly observed in tiny photons and small atoms, but scientists do not yet know the maximum possible size of a quantum particle.A new experiment using matter-wave interferometry found that a relatively large clump of 7,000 sodium atoms displayed superposition.The particle’s size, which is close to that of the smallest modern transistors, makes it the largest object ever to display this quantum property.This story is a collaboration with Biography.com.According to our best understanding of the universe, life appears bifurcated into two overarching realms. The first is the realm of classical physics and the intuitive laws that govern our everyday lives. Then, there’s the quantum realm—the domain of t...

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will launch this fall, and alongside packing a handful of new features, there are three design changes reportedly coming. Here’s what the latest rumors say. #1: Unified rear glass and aluminum colors Among the iPhone 17 Pro’s several design changes, colors have clearly been a big hit, and no one seems to mind the full-width camera plateau. One design decision, however, has been a bit more polarizing: the two-tone rear glass and aluminum. Fortunately, it sounds like Apple plans to address that with the iPhone 18 Pro. Weibo leaker Instant Digital recently wrote: The iPhone 18 Pro series features a redesigned back glass that minimizes color difference between the glass and the aluminum back panel. A seamless, unified look. I’m in the c...
