AI agents make 138 million crypto payments as U.S. dominates spending on AI models

U.S.-linked wallets account for just over 88% of tracked AI model payments, dwarfing China’s 0.1% share, according to new Chainalysis research.

  • AI agents made more than 138 million transactions through Coinbase’s x402 protocol, using cryptocurrency to buy data, computing power and access to AI models.
  • U.S.-linked wallets accounted for 88.1% of identified payments for AI model inference, while Chinese-linked wallets dominated payments for security and code-analysis services.
  • More than 87% of analyzed x402 payments were worth 10 cents or less, underscoring stablecoins’ potential for micropayments while leaving questions about genuine commercial demand.

Artificial intelligence (AI) agents are no longer just talking to each other. They are paying for services, buying data and even purchasing access to tokens the AI models, with more than 138 million transactions recorded through the x402 protocol on Coinbase’s Base blockchain, according to a Chainalysis’ Inside North America’s $3 trillion crypto economy: Agentic commerce accelerates report.

The United States dominates this emerging market. U.S.linked wallets accounted for 88.1% of the geographically identified payments for AI model inference, compared with just 0.1% for Chinese-linked wallets, the blockchain analytics firm found.

“One possible explanation is that Chinese developers are more inclined to use open-weight models such as DeepSeek and Qwen, reducing their need to purchase metered inference services,” Eric Jardine, Chainalysis’ head of research, told CoinDesk.

The findings, released Wednesday, come as Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and other payments giants have backed the x402 protocol, while Coinbase has begun allowing business customers to accept payments from AI agents.

Yat Siu, co-founder and chairman of Animoca Brands, recently told CoinDesk that over the next few years he estimates up to 100 billion AI agents will be transacting on the internet and they will be using crypto. And crypto’s next billion users might be AI agents paying with stablecoins. “Stablecoins are particularly well suited to the kinds of transactions we expect AI agents to make at first,” Stephanie Cohen, Cloudflare’s chief strategy officer, told CoinDesk.

Unlike traditional card payments, stablecoins can handle transactions worth fractions of a cent, allowing AI agents to buy data, computing power and other services without human intervention. The new Chainalysis figures offer evidence of growing use of those payment systems, although transaction counts alone do not establish how much represents genuine commercial demand.

Much of the activity runs through x402, a payments protocol incubated by Coinbase that allows AI agents to pay automatically for digital services using crypto.

More than 87% of x402 payments analyzed by Chainalysis were worth between one-hundredth of a cent and 10 cents, making them too small to process economically through traditional credit card networks.

The amounts remain small. In July, x402 processed roughly 75 million payments worth just $24 million over 30 days. Earlier research also raised questions about artificial activity on the network.

Among wallets first funded in the second quarter of 2026, 89.3% received additional funding within 30 days, compared with 70.6% for wallets first funded in the Q3 2025. The analysis excluded wallets that made payments on one only one day.

The time between a wallet receiving funds and making its first x40 payment also fell sharply, from an average of 73 days in late 2025 to just 18 minutes in Q3 2026.

China, meanwhile, showed a different pattern of activity. Chinese-linked wallets accounted for roughly 90% of geographically identified payments for security and code-analysis services, much of it directed toward AgentLisa, an AI-powered smart contract auditing platform.

He cautioned against interpreting that gap as evidence that open-source AI was undermining Asia’s payments market.

“That’s one possible interpretation, but we wouldn’t go so far as to say open-source AI is starving Asia’s on-chain inference market,” he said.

The figures measure identifiable transactions through x402, rather than the entire global market for AI payments.

“AI agents are becoming economic actors where every agent is effectively a new ‘user’ of the blockchain,” Tejwani said in the report.

For now, the transactions remain small, but Chainalysis’ findings suggest autonomous software is beginning to establish its own spending habits, with the United States leading the market for paid AI services.

‘The biggest financial institutions are not above the law’: Bessent hits BofA with $1.2 billion fine for money laundering—the third-largest in history

0

The U.S. Treasury Department said Tuesday that it’s imposing $1.2 billion in fines on Bank of America for allegedly violating anti-money laundering and sanctions laws.

The fines on America’s second-biggest bank amount to the third-largest in the department’s history.

“When a bank of this size fails to meet its anti-money laundering and sanctions obligations, the consequences extend far beyond its own walls, exposing the entire U.S. financial system to significant illicit finance risks,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. “Today’s actions send a clear message that even the biggest financial institutions are not above the law.”

Treasury said Bank of America also reached an $11.6 million settlement with the department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control over “apparent violations of numerous sanctions programs, including on Iran, Russia, narcotics, and global terrorism.”

In a statement, Treasury said its Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) assessed the $1.2 billion penalty for Bank of America’s “failure to mitigate and report priority national security risks, including Chinese Money Laundering Networks and illicit finance along the southwest border.”

The penalty includes $750 million that will go to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the largest fine ever imposed by that federal bank regulatory agency.

Treasury said that Bank of America “admits that it willfully violated” the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act, which requires banks to help the government detect and prevent money laundering.

“Financial crime compliance is serious, and we are responsible for getting it right,’’ Bank of America said in a statement. “We worked with regulators to reach these penalty resolutions stemming from violations cited in the previously reported 2024 (Comptroller of the Currency) Consent Order and FinCEN’s investigation.

“We have invested billions of dollars in technology and dedicated thousands of employees to combat financial crime, and our team is far along with and committed to completing the work required to address the issues raised by our regulators.’’

The latest action is the third-largest penalty ever issued by the Treasury Department, behind a roughly $4 billion settlement in 2023 with Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, and an approximately $3 billion settlement with Canada-based TD Bank the following year. Both those historic actions happened as part of the Biden administration’s focus on anti-money laundering and efforts to promote compliance with the then-emerging virtual currency industry.

Months later, Binance founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao, was sentenced to four months in prison over charges that he looking the other way as criminals used his platform to move money connected to child sex abuse, drug trafficking and terrorism.

2027: Health group backs Tinubu over sector reforms

0

By Daniel Tyokua

The Tinubu Health Practitioners Alliance (THSEPA), has called on health practitioners across the country to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027 to complete the ongoing reforms in the health sector.

National Coordinator of the group, Dr Ogechi Lokpobiri, cited the government interventions in medical education, healthcare infrastructure, workforce development and health financing.

Lokpobiri said the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda had prioritised initiatives aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s healthcare system, expanding access to medical services and improving the training and availability of skilled health professionals.

The coordinator also commended the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Muhammad Ali Pate, and the Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Olatunji Alausa, for their roles in advancing reforms designed to improve healthcare delivery and professional development.

According to her, stronger collaboration between the health and education ministries remains essential to producing competent professionals, upgrading medical institutions and improving healthcare outcomes.

Lokpobiri, wife of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, said sustaining investments in the sector would be necessary to consolidate ongoing reforms and address longstanding challenges in healthcare delivery.

On developments in nursing and midwifery education, Lokpobiri cited Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare figures indicating that annual enrolment quotas for nursing and midwifery training institutions increased from 28,000 in May 2023 to 115,000 for the 2025 academic year.

She said the expansion could increase the supply of trained health professionals and help address staffing shortages across hospitals and primary healthcare facilities.

She also cited the retraining of more than 69,000 frontline health workers nationwide and the Federal Government’s approval of recruitment waivers for 20,000 additional health personnel, with nurses and midwives expected to account for 60 per cent of the positions.

She welcomed the Nigeria Strategic Directions for Nursing and Midwifery 2025–2030, which provides a framework for strengthening professional education, leadership, regulation and workforce development.

Zimbabwean Writer Simbarashe Kundizeza Breaks Silence On AI Allegations After Winning £10,000 Caine Prize

0

Zimbabwean writer Simbarashe Kundizeza is defending his Caine Prize-winning short story, The Blue Fighter, after being accused of using artificial intelligence (AI) to produce the work.

The controversy erupted after an article in The Atlantic reported that an AI-detection tool had classified the story as entirely AI-generated.

Kundizeza, who won the £10,000 Caine Prize for African Writing, has maintained that he wrote the story himself.

Meanwhile, prize chair Ellah Wakatama criticised The Atlantic for publishing the allegations without first conducting a more thorough investigation.

Kundizeza Insists He Wrote The Story

According to BBC, while addressing the controversy on X, Kundizeza made it clear that he stood by the authorship of his winning entry.

“For the avoidance of doubt, I wrote The Blue Fighter,” he posted.

The Zimbabwean author also said he had a documented account of how the story originated and developed, including a chronology of its creation.

Responding to questions about differences between his writing styles, Kundizeza argued that authors should be allowed to experiment and develop their craft over time.

“To suggest that a writer cannot write in different styles or genres, or improve his writing substantially after five or more years fundamentally misunderstands the craft of writing,” he wrote.

The Blue Fighter, which follows a boy whose family experiences financial hardship, was first published by The Shallow Tales Review in 2025 before going on to win this year’s Caine Prize.

Caine Prize Chair Criticises Publication Of Allegations

Caine Prize chair Ellah Wakatama has expressed concern over the decision by The Atlantic to publish the allegations before a more extensive investigation had been completed.

Speaking to the BBC’s Front Row programme, Wakatama questioned whether the magazine had gathered sufficient independent evidence to support the claims made against the winning entry.

“I do wish The Atlantic had spent more time investigating this so that alongside Pangram, they did have evidence of real human investigation of it before tainting the prize and tainting this winner,” she said.

Wakatama, who chairs the prize’s board of trustees, said she was contacted about the allegations on Friday, while the article by Vauhini Vara was published on Sunday.

She confirmed that Kundizeza would provide documentation relating to the different drafts of his story as part of the prize organisers’ investigation.

The organisers are also in discussions with the judging panel and The Shallow Tales Review, which originally published the work.

Prophet Orasi Mellontik Claims National Sports Stadium Sits On Top Of Gold Fields

Prophet Orasi Mellontik Says National Sports Stadium, Warren Hills Cemetery Sit On Gold Fields

Prophet Orasi Mellontik has sparked a buzz on social media after claiming that the National Sports Stadium in Harare sits above gold deposits buried about 15 metres beneath the surface.

The prophet also named Warren Hills Cemetery as another area he believes lies on gold fields, challenging geologists to disprove his claims.

In his post, Prophet Mellontik wrote:

“Zimbabwe did you (know*) That the national sports stadium sits on top of unidentified gold fields 15 m below the surface,warren hills,cemetery are all gold fields,

Geologists survey prove me wrong.”

In a separate post, Prophet Mellontik described Zimbabwe as a mineral-rich country with the potential to sustain generations through its natural resources. He also praised the Second Republic for allowing mining activities, expressing optimism about the country’s future.

“Zimbabwe is a mineral rich country,minerals can sustain this country for generations, we thank the second republic that allowed mining.⛏️

Zimbabwe shall work again,” he wrote.

Social Media Users Weigh In On Gold Claims

Prophet Mellontik’s claims have drawn mixed reactions, with some social media users arguing that gold mining in parts of Harare is not new and pointing to alleged historical mining activities around the National Sports Stadium and the Museum area. Others claimed that old mine shafts still exist in some locations, including near where Liberation City is being built, while some suggested that Zimbabwe has gold deposits in many areas. Others challenged the prophet to go and mine the gold himself if he was certain of its location, questioning why he was sharing the information instead.

Here are some of the comments:

@Tendayi Nzvengende;

That’s common knowledge, there was a gold mine many years ago around that area called Golden Quarry Mine

cricket Top Quote Vodia Wallboards provides a live view of calls waiting, ringing, and active; agent availability and status; inbound and outbound call counts; service levels; abandoned calls; and average speed of answer. cricket End Quote

  • (1888PressRelease) October 13, 2026 – BOSTON – Vodia Networks, Inc., a provider of unified cloud communications solutions to enterprises, contact centers, and managed service providers (MSPs), is pleased to announce Vodia Wallboards, a self-hosted platform for monitoring and displaying Vodia call queue activity. When call queues build, teams need to see them immediately, not later on in a report. Vodia Wallboards gives supervisors, contact centers, service providers, and operations teams a live view of the queue activity that matters most; it connects one or more Vodia PBX servers, enables monitoring for the relevant tenants, and creates wallboards for a supervisors browser, an operations dashboard, or a dedicated TV display.

    See Queue Activity as It Changes
    Vodia Wallboards provides a live view of calls waiting, ringing, and active; agent availability and status; inbound and outbound call counts; service levels; abandoned calls; and average speed of answer. This is visibility built specifically around call queues. Teams can identify rising wait times, unavailable agents, or deteriorating service levels, all while theres still time to respond. Each widget can follow a wallboards queue filter or focus on a specific queue, allowing teams to move from a broad operational view to a more detailed queue view when necessary.

    Ready-made layouts
    Vodia Wallboards includes eight ready-made layouts for common operational needs, including NOC overviews, single-queue views, executive summaries, agent monitoring, multi-queue displays, and service-level trends. The drag-and-drop wallboard builder and library of 15 widget types make it easy to adapt a layout to the information each audience needs to see, including large KPI displays for a shared operations screen, detailed agent views for supervisors, or a focused wallboard for a particular queue. Widgets include queue-status cards, agent grids, active-call lists, service-level gauges, trend charts, alert feeds, and more.

    Monitor queues across PBX systems
    For service providers and larger deployments, one Vodia Wallboards instance can connect to multiple Vodia PBX servers. This makes it possible to display call queue activity from different customers, offices, or regions in one place, while keeping each tenants information appropriately scoped. Wallboards can also be branded per tenant with a logo and accent color, helping service providers present a consistent, customer-specific view.

    Turn queue data into clear decisions
    Vodia Wallboards helps teams move beyond raw metrics. AI Summary widgets can provide a plain-language assessment of current queue health using OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or Ollama. Threshold alerts can notify teams by email when conditions such as waiting calls or abandonment rate exceed defined limits. For dedicated displays, TV Mode publishes a wallboard as a login-free URL. The display link provides read-only access to wallboard data without exposing settings or user management.

    Secure, self-hosted deployment
    Vodia Wallboards is self-hosted, giving organizations control over where the platform runs and how it is managed. Access can be scoped by PBX system, tenant, or individual queue. Administrator accounts use multi-factor authentication, and stored PBX credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. Vodia Wallboards requires Vodia PBX v69 or later with API access enabled. Documentation is provided on the Vodia documentation website. Vodia reps can be reached via the Vodia website or via telephone at +1 (617) 861-3490.

The last generation of operations and accounting software application developed more restrictions than it did options. Insights were restricted to canned reports, automation was hardcoded service reasoning, and personalization implied pricey, months-long consulting jobs. By the time a conventional ERP would go live, business it was set up for would have currently altered. Operations groups understood precisely what they wished to achieve, however applications would stop working 55– 75% of the time mostly due to the fact that the software application could not adjust.

The space in between “what our software application does” and “what our company requirements” is largest for fast-growing durable goods brand names. This is why the DOSS Product Suite is pre-built with Order Management, Inventory, and Procurement modules concentrated on fixing their most significant discomfort points: including brand-new sales channels, broadening their satisfaction network, and growing their margins, all without including headcount. DOSS changes the patchwork of spreadsheets, siloed point options, and tradition ERP with one AI-native operations platform. Operators can change from invoicing to stock view immediately, providing access to live insights that were formerly unattainable. This level of versatility appears in client’s outcomes after changing to DOSS. Snackwise saw 95% faster invoicing. Mezcla doubled its PO processing. Spread out the Love reduced its order processing time by 92%.

Processed food diet could worsen vaccine side effects

Diet plan, microbiome and vaccine adverse effects: summary

  • Research study links gut microbiome distinctions to Covid-19 vaccine fever
  • Greater flagellin expression was related to more powerful fever signs
  • Diet plans high in fat and ingredients associated with swelling
  • Vegetarian diet plans were connected to microbiome functions connected to less fever
  • Findings might support dietary techniques without impacting antibody reactions

The microbiome is extremely prominent on lots of elements of human health, from food digestion and resistance to cognition and metabolic process.

A brand-new research study released in the journal Science recommends that its impact might likewise encompass how individuals respond to vaccines.

This is, in turn, connected to diet plan, which is extremely prominent on the microbiome. Altering one’s diet plan, the research study recommends, might affect how one responds to a vaccine.

Vaccine adverse effects and the microbiome

Individuals differ extensively in how they respond to vaccines. Fever and flu-like signs are amongst the most typical negative effects, however not everybody experiences them. Such adverse effects typically dissuade individuals from taking vaccines.

This variation in signs, according to the research study, is not well comprehended. The scientists hypothesized that the gut microbiome, which affects immune activity, might play a function.

In order to check their hypothesis, the scientists profiled the faecal microbiomes of 171 young people before and after getting the mRNA vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 (the infection that triggers Covid-19). Temperature levels were taken 3 times a day to measure fever.

The research study discovered that some gut germs, such as Lachnospiraceaeproduce flagellin, a protein that can trigger inflammatory immune paths and magnify responses to the vaccine.

Those with higher intestinal tract swelling prior to taking the vaccine, or higher flagellin expression (significance genes were triggered to produce flagellin) in the gut, were most likely to establish fever after taking it.

There was a strong connection with specific diet plans and vaccine side results.

How diet plan might affect vaccine adverse effects

The scientists discovered that diet plans including higher levels of fat or processed food ingredients, or lower in entire plant foods, tended to be associated with the inflammatory microbiome that was connected to fever.

At the very same time, vegetarian diet plans were associated with functions connected to less fever.

Notably, the scientists discovered that swelling and diet plan do not impact how antibodies respond to vaccines, indicating that diet plan does not appear, in this context a minimum of, to impact how vaccines effect resistance itself.

What could this indicate for market?

Dietary adjustment might be a feasible technique to decrease vaccine-related adverse effects in the future, according to the research study.

“Diet, microbial ecology, and the metabolic state are not immutable, and individuals may one day get ready for vaccination as intentionally as the vaccine itself is created,” composes Bali Pulendran, an immunologist from Stanford University in a viewpoint responding to the research study.

The reaction versus ultra-processed foods has currently considerably formed the food market, with need for tidy label food being among the driving forces behind item advancement. Ingredients, frequently connected with ultra-processed food, were associated in the research study with the inflammatory microbiome that remained in turn related to fever.

Causality needs to still be developed by future research studies. The recommendation that diets consisting of ingredients might increase vaccine side results might be yet another win for tidy label food.

The substantial function of vaccine adverse effects in hesitancy recommends that they are an issue for lots of people. If they might be reduced through diet plan, this might show yet another motorist for the appeal of the tidy label motion, and on the flip-side, more entrench mistrust of ultra-processed food.

Epic thinks you’ll love its new vibe coded game launcher

technology A screenshot of the new Epic Games Store Launcher. Laying off employees for AI is absolutely nothing to commemorate.

Igor Bonifacic for Engadget

There’s no 2 methods about: the Epic Games Store( EGS)launcher is bad. Even Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has actually confessed as much, explaining it as “clunky” in an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman in 2015You would believe a redesign would be excellent news? Reconsider. Due to the fact that the method Epic has actually chosen to promote this release stops working to check out the space.

“Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look,” the business happily composes by method of intro in its most current Epic Games Store post. The statement comes simply one day after Sweeney stated Epic remained in the middle of a significant AI pivot.[ “The aim isn’t to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff, and to bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal,” he composed on X

We have a big pivot underway here at Epic, moving designers around to retool for optimal AI velocity.

The objective isn’t to do the very same things with less individuals, however to allow everybody here to develop MORE and BETTER things, and to bring the advantages to all groups utilizing Unreal.

— Tim Sweeney (@TimSweeneyEpic) October 12, 2026

Even by Sweeney’s requirementsthe post comes off as tone deaf. I was just this previous March that the business performed sweeping layoffs that cut its labor force by 1,000 workers. By Engadget’s price quote, Epic had actually lowered its headcount by a quarter from the 4,000 staff members that stayed after it performed an earlier set of layoffs in 2023. And now we have this release which commemorates ambiance coding rather of the effort of Epic’s staying engineers.

Undoubtedly the brand-new launcher addresses a few of the significant problems of its predecessor, and in my screening it’s certainly less “clunky” than the previous variation. Legendary states it’s capable of releasing faster than Steam. Mentioning Steam, the brand-new software application permits you to access any video games you’ve set up on your computer system through Valve’s launcher from its own user interface. The upgraded launcher is likewise readily available on Linux, a very first for the business, which is terrific news for those of you who wish to ditch Windows at last

What it does not do is repair the recognize crisis EGS has actually struggled with for many years. There’s no function or hook you’ll discover here that’s not readily available on Steam or GOG. Legendary might utilize this brand-new experience as a base to develop those functions, however if I’m truthful, I would rather not support a business that aspires to change its workers with AI.

In Google’s example, the sender pretended to reveal the recipient an image of them with their pet. Upon being informed that they had the incorrect number, the sender attempted to engage and asked the recipient their name.

The business described that Android examines messages in Private AI Compute, which secures them and processes them in a safe and secure area unattainable to anyone else, even Google. Gemini Nano will likewise do on-device analysis of links in Messages to make certain they’re safe before you tap on them. This will be offered on Google Pixel 10+, the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Fold 8, to name a few choose gadgets. In addition, Google has actually revamped its rip-off cautions to offer you more context and additional time before tapping on links sent out from numbers not in your contacts list. The brand-new opt-in security setting is presenting in the coming weeks.

After presenting Scam Detection in chat notices on Pixel gadgets, Google is broadening its accessibility to more gadgets. The function will caution you about possible frauds ideal inside the message notice, so you do not even need to see it. Google has actually partnered with gadget producers, consisting of Honor, Motorola, OPPO, OnePlus, realme, vivo and Xiaomi, which are anticipated to make it possible for the function later on this year.

2026 standout Titanium Court is springing onto consoles and mobile on October 29

One of the best games of the year won’t be confined to Steam for much longer.

technology Video game screenshot of a match-three puzzle game. An image of a cat is overlaid. Text reads

AP Thomson/Fellow Traveller

At this point, more video games are released in a month than most folks can play in a lifetime. More than 21,000 games have been released on Steam alone so far this year. Many of those will not be worth your time, but one I can absolutely recommend is Titanium Court. It’s one of the best games of the year and many more people will soon get the chance to play it. The game is coming to Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Android and iOS on October 29.

Titanium Court debuted on Steam back in April. It made waves earlier in the year after winning the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at the Independent Games Festival Awards. Developer AP Thomson (who also won that award in 2025 as part of the team that made Consume Me) has crafted a beguiling run-based game that hasn’t been far away from my thoughts for the last six months. It’s a roguelite but also a visual novel and at the same time an RPG.

🚨 Titanium Court has escaped from our computers! 🚨

📣 It’s marching towards Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android 🎮 📱

Brace yourselves; it arrives on October 29!

— Fellow Traveller (@fellowtraveller.games) 2026-10-14T16:02:05.662Z

A run (which is called a “war” here) is made up of multiple battles, each of which has two phases. The first is essentially a match-three game in which you’ll move around tiles representing things like wheat, rivers, forests and enemy castles. Line up three matching tiles, and you’ll gain relevant resources or wipe enemy strongholds off the map. At the same time, you’re setting up the battlefield for the second stage, in which baddies will attempt to attack your base, which is also a tile on the grid. Before this phase starts, you can use resources to shore up your defenses by recruiting soldiers and other workers.

That’s the main thrust of the gameplay, but there’s so much more to Titanium Court. The game shackles you from trading too much at stores and it might block you from carrying out what you think is a winning tactic. You can’t really break the game’s rules as you can in incremental roguelites like CloverPit and Balatro. Figuring out what the restrictions are is part of Titanium Court‘s charm.

That extends to the meta-game that takes place between runs. Your character is the court’s new queen, who is initially clueless as to what’s going on. They don’t know how they ended up in this bizarre kingdom, where road signs exist alongside dragons as well as faeries that don’t believe in the concept of cars. On your quest to get home, you may encounter references to baseball, Jenga and all manner of pop culture touchstones.

Titanium Court is a stylish, clever and wildly offbeat game. It’s packed with jokes and surprises so I don’t want to give too much more away here. I’m excited to dive into it again, probably on my phone to hopefully dissuade me from doomscrolling.

Broncos QB Bo Nix Explains Why Playing ‘Good’ Or ‘Bad’ Is A ‘Made-Up Narrative’

0

One may argue that Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has actually been underwhelming this season, compared to his play in previous years. Nix is not amongst those individuals.

“I think playing good and playing bad, it’s all a narrative and I think it’s honestly kind of something we make up,” Nix stated at Broncos practice Tuesday. “I don’t necessarily think I’m playing any different than what I’m normally playing. … I’m confident in my preparation. I’m confident in my coaching, and I’m confident in our offense and the way we’re going to structure the game and call plays.”

Through Denver’s very first 5 video games, Nix has actually amounted to 942 passing lawns, 6 passing goals, 3 interceptions and an 80.8 passer score, while finishing 59.9% of his passes. The quarterback’s passer score and conclusion portion are each profession lows.

Last season (2025 ), Nix logged 3,931 passing backyards, 25 passing goals, 11 interceptions and an 87.8 passer ranking, while finishing 63.4% of his passes. The year prior (2024 ), Nix tossed for 29 goals, published a 93.3 passer score and finished 66.3% of his passes. He likewise hurried for 393.0 lawns and 4.5 goals annually from 2024-25.

In the Broncos’ Week 5 roadway win over the Los Angeles Chargers, Nix tossed for simply 123 lawns. Approved, the Broncos, who won 14 video games and reached the AFC Championship Game last season, are still 3-2.

“It’s a mental battle, and that’s kind of where I find myself sometimes in a season like this where it’s not as good as you want it to look, but you’re winning, and you’re playing tough teams, and you’ve gotten close against a few more tough teams,” Nix revealed.

Denver’s offense is 30th in the NFL in overall lawns (269.0 per video game), 26th in points (19.4 per video game) and 25th in both passing lawns (182.8 per video game) and hurrying lawns (86.2 per video game). The Broncos altered offending playcallers recently, with head coach Sean Payton taking the responsibilities back from offending planner Davis Webb, who was a newbie playcaller and promoted to offending planner in the offseason.

Obviously, this came versus the background of the Broncos’ defense leading the sport in sacks (68.0 ), while being 2nd in challenger overall lawns (278.2 per video game) and 3rd in challenger points (18.3 per video game).

Like its offense, Denver’s defense has actually fallen back in production this season, as the Broncos are 29th in challenger hurrying backyards (145.2 per video game), 22nd in challenger overall lawns (347.4 per video game), 13th in challenger points (22.2 per video game), ninth outright in challenger passing backyards (202.2 per video game) and connected for ninth in sacks (13.0 ).

“I think sometimes I can have a tendency of overanalyzing things and overthinking things, and that’s when I’m not at my best,” Nix stated. “I want to have all the answers and get everything right, and it’s just too difficult.”

Nix likewise revealed that he can’t be “worried about throwing an interception.” Rather, he requires to “just play the play.”
