According to Bloomberg, Apple is in talks to use Google’s Gemini AI engine on the iPhone, setting the stage for a blockbuster deal that will shake up the AI ​​industry.

Bloomberg Citing an anonymous source, Apple and Google are actively negotiating for Gemini to master some new features coming to the iPhone this year. Additionally, Apple also recently held discussions with OpenAI and has considered using their model.

If the deal between Apple and Google comes to fruition, it would build on the two companies’ search partnership. For years, Google has paid Apple billions of dollars each year to make its search engine the default option in the Safari web browser on iPhones and other devices. According to the source, the two sides have not yet decided on the terms of the AI ​​deal or how it will be implemented.

A few days ago we told you about some of the first cards that Wizards of the Coast revealed as part of its crossover expansion with Fallout, Bethesda’s well-known post-apocalyptic saga. Today, we can exclusively reveal to you two of the cards that will be part of this collection.

The Fallout x Magic: the Gathering collaboration will go on sale next March 8, and will consist of four pre-built decks with different themes related to the universe of the Fallout saga. Specifically, our two cards will be part of the deck Mutant Menacewhich centers on The Wise Mothman, one of the cryptids present in the game Fallout 76.

The first card is a reprint of a mythical card among mythical cards within the format: it is about Hardened scales (Hardened Scales, in English), an enchantment for the price of one green mana that suits d

Outcast: A New Beginning was released last week. XBNL editors asked guest reviewer Danny to write. You can read about his discoveries with the game here:

Chances are you’re not familiar with the Outcast franchise. After all, the game released on PC 25 years ago, where it faced competition in a monumental year in gaming history. 1999 was the year GTA2, Quake 3 Arena, Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun, and Unreal Tournament were released. So it’s no surprise that Outcast was snowed in a bit during that year. However, the game has excellent reviews and is also considered the grandfather of the open world action/adventure genre. Charleroi’s small Appeal Studios developed the game more than a year before BioWare’s Baldur’s Gate 2, and it would be another 10 years before Assassin’s Creed saw the light of day. A sequel was in the works, but Appeal’s failure in 2002 put an abrupt end to those plans.

A New Beginning, a double meaning

However, Appeal Studios was refounded and with a crowdfunding campaign managed to launch a remake in 2017. This remake of the original game, called Outcast: Second Coming, serves as the starting point for “A New Beginning”. That name will probably also have a double meaning for Appeal itself. First of all, Appeal managed to get back on its feet, thanks to the most avid fans who supported the studio in the restart. On the other hand, it’s a new beginning for the franchise and the old work is more or less abandoned. Here we go again, with a game that is technically a sequel to the first part, but the main goal is to attract new players and not rely entirely on the 25-year-old original and die-hard fans.

May the Yods be with you

By the way, it’s not like the past has been completely let go. The main character from the original game, Cutter Slate, makes another appearance. He lands from a sort of Stargate-like portal in a world unknown to him, the planet Adelpha. He doesn’t know how or why he ended up here. In fact he knows who he is because his entire memory of him has been erased. He soon comes into contact with the inhabitants of the area, the Talan. It seems that he was brought back to life by the Yods, the gods of the Talan. The Yods see him as the chosen one to free the enslaved Talan from humanity’s mechanical army.

The fact that Cutter himself is human naturally raises suspicion and doubt among the Talan, but the Yods must know what they’re doing, right? However, trust is not something that is achieved on its own. Much of your time in this world is dedicated to earning the trust of these native inhabitants. You do this by helping them resist the mechanized army that humanity has left on the planet, but also by supporting and solving their daily problems, like a glorified handyman.

Sedate the pacifists

You can’t really say that you support the Talan in their fight against the oppressor, since the Talan are a rather pacifistic people and have so far skillfully avoided a confrontation. They submit to their subjugation rather passively, under the assumption that they cannot resist the heavily armed army of robots and researchers.
