The Plucky Squire is a game that leaps off the page — literally. It takes place in a storybook world rendered in an adorable two dimensions thanks to codirector and former Pokémon artist James Turner. But at certain points, the heroic lead character can venture into the real world and solve puzzles that mix 2D and 3D in inventive ways. Sometimes, you’re moving objects between dimensions; other times, you’re rearranging the words in a book to create new outcomes. It’s as cute as it is creative, and it follows Sony’s Astro Bot in what is turning out to be a very good year for family-friendly games.

NATO tests autonomous drone technology in DARPA-style competition
In a basement beneath City St George’s, University of London, senior leaders from NATO watch as four research teams from the UK, US, Netherlands and Austria, showcase their AI-controlled, autonomous drones. The groups are competing against each other as part of the NATO-funded SAPIENCE programme, designed to accelerate progress with this emerging technology, particularly in a world where drones on the battlefield are changing warfare, as demonstrated in Ukraine.
“We are still trying to understand what are the impacts of drones,” says Claudio Palestini, head of NATO’s Science for Peace and Security programme. “We have regular contact with Ukraine where we understand what they are doing with technology,” he says. “NATO is adapting to this new way of fighting, we are developing some concepts in the drone warfare sphere.”
While there are applications on the battlefield, Palestini is keen to stress that there is a dual nature to NATO’s work. “What we do [at NATO’s Science for Peace and Security programme], it’s not purely military,” he says. “We want to have technology development that can be used in the commercial sector, but also in the defence sector. And this is where cooperation with Ukraine helps.” Such work has echoes of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
In London, the first of four events gets under way, simulating an indoor search and rescue scenario in an environment where GPS won’t work that is akin to the aftermath of a natural disaster. The team from City St George’s deploys two autonomous drones working cooperatively in a swarm configuration, with deep-learning algorithms driving navigation.
“We’re the only ones that used a neural network,” says Thomas Hickling, a PhD student and member of the team, highlighting how the group thinks this form of AI is better for mapping damaged infrastructure. Speed and reliability are also considerations, especially in life-saving scenarios. “We decided to use two drones as it’s much quicker and increases reliability,” says Hickling. “If one drone fails, you’ve got another one automatically. You can take over the jobs of the other drone.”
Future SAPIENCE events will test the teams’ technology in outdoor and mixed environments, performing a range of simulated tasks. While presented as a competition, Palestini sees this as a driving force behind acceleration and cooperation in the field. “We don’t expect to have a single winner,” he says. “We will have some sort of ranking, but all the ideas are good.”

NYT Strands today: hints, spangram and answers for Sunday, September 22
Strands is a brand new daily puzzle from the New York Times. A trickier take on the classic word search, you’ll need a keen eye to solve this puzzle.
Like Wordle, Connections, and the Mini Crossword, Strands can be a bit difficult to solve some days. There’s no shame in needing a little help from time to time. If you’re stuck and need to know the answers to today’s Strands puzzle, check out the solved puzzle below.
How to play Strands
You start every Strands puzzle with the goal of finding the “theme words” hidden in the grid of letters. Manipulate letters by dragging or tapping to craft words; double-tap the final letter to confirm. If you find the correct word, the letters will be highlighted blue and will no longer be selectable.
If you find a word that isn’t a theme word, it still helps! For every three non-theme words you find that are at least four letters long, you’ll get a hint — the letters of one of the theme words will be revealed and you’ll just have to unscramble it.
Every single letter on the grid is used to spell out the theme words and there is no overlap. Every letter will be used once, and only once.
Each puzzle contains one “spangram,” a special theme word (or words) that describe the puzzle’s theme and touches two opposite sides of the board. When you find the spangram, it will be highlighted yellow.
The goal should be to complete the puzzle quickly without using too many hints.

Microsoft wants to reactivate the Three Mile Island nuclear plant
Artificial intelligence is improving everyone’s lives through products and services. However, AI’s operation also consumes a lot of energy, which can be especially problematic if there are environmental goals to meet. Now, Microsoft will turn to the Three Mile Island nuclear plant to supply itself with all the energy needed in the AI era.
The Three Mile Island nuclear plant closed five years ago for economic reasons. However, Microsoft is interested in reactivating it as part of an exclusive energy supply contract for the next 20 years. Constellation, the company behind the nuclear plant, will invest around $1.6 billion in its reactivation to put it at the service of the Redmond giant.
The Three Mile Island nuclear plant could provide all its energy to Microsoft in the AI era
Some will remember the name of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant, which was the site of a partial meltdown in 1979. The plant continued to operate normally after the situation was resolved. Its recent shutdown was not related to any similar incident. This will be the first time that a nuclear plant offers 100% of its capacity to a single customer. It probably won’t come cheap for Microsoft, but it may be necessary to stay competitive in today’s tech industry.
It’s noteworthy that, despite the general fear of incidents that could end in disasters, nuclear energy is extremely clean. Microsoft is one of those companies that has set its own environmental goals. However, its current focus on the development of energy-hungry AI platforms and services may complicate the situation. Turning to nuclear energy may be an ideal solution. Neither party has confirmed the investment’s intended use for AI development. However, it is quite likely that a lot of the energy will be allocated to it.
There are still hurdles to overcome
That said, Constellation still has hurdles to overcome before reactivating the nuclear plant. The process will have to go through safety reviews by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The company could also undergo a review of the tax breaks it has previously obtained. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission review appears to be the most difficult hurdle, as it has never authorized the reactivation of a nuclear plant before.
If Constellation and Microsoft succeed in restarting the plant, it will bring 600 new jobs to Pennsylvania. Additionally, the region will receive “philanthropic donations” totaling $200,000 annually for the next five years.

HPE acquires Morpheus Data, bolstering hybrid cloud offering
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is acquiring Morpheus Data to simplify hybrid and multi-cloud management. The technology will be integrated into HPE’s GreenLake as the vendor pursues AI workloads.
Spun out of Bertram Labs in 2015, Morpheus Data offers a multi-tenant hybrid cloud management platform with self-service provisioning, automation and FinOps capabilities. Bertram Labs is a wholly owned subsidiary of private equity firm Bertram Capital Management. Terms of the deal were not disclosed; the acquisition is expected to be completed before the end of October.
HPE has partnered with Morpheus for years to address hybrid cloud management issues, such as complexity, skill gaps and cloud sprawl. HPE will integrate Morpheus Data’s management and automation capabilities into its hybrid cloud platform GreenLake. This is HPE’s second hybrid IT management acquisition in the last 17 months. In March 2023, it acquired OpsRamp, which monitors and manages hybrid IT infrastructure.
There is a strategic fit between what Morpheus does and what HPE is trying to do with GreenLake, according to Matthew Eastwood, an analyst at IDC.
“There is this real battle for relevance today with respect to AI workloads,” he said. “Most, myself included, see hybrid as the operating model for AI workloads.”
As AI workloads become more common for enterprises, vendors such as HPE need to differentiate their offerings and look for opportunities, Eastwood said. For HPE, that means focusing on its storage, data management and networking capabilities in a hybrid IT environment, he said.
Alongside its acquisition of OpsRamp, Morpheus Data will add to HPE’s management and monitoring stack for hybrid IT infrastructure in a way that’s complementary, according to Hang Tan, senior vice president and chief operating offering of hybrid cloud at HPE.
“Morpheus is more on the OS and above management, and OpsRamp is more OS and below management,” he said. Tan added that OpsRamp can monitor and automate the infrastructure, while Morpheus can do the same for different hybrid services and spending options. Matt Kimball, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, said he also believes the Morpheus acquisition could bring simplicity to GreenLake users by delivering a point-and-click experience in a single console for self-service, consumption, management and spend.
“I can tell you as somebody who spent a few years in IT management — complexity is the enemy of IT,” Kimball said.
While there is some overlap between the two acquisitions, Morpheus also brings additive capabilities to OpsRamp, Kimball said.
“HPE can leverage IP from both solutions to build out that uber infrastructure, operations/AIOps and cloud management platform,” he said. HPE said it expects to make employment offers to most Morpheus employees.
Morpheus will continue to be offered as a standalone product separately from GreenLake. Pricing for the standalone product or pricing changes for GreenLake have not been determined.
The downstream effect for Morpheus customers that compete with HPE is yet to be seen, Eastwood said. Dell, for instance, also partners with Morpheus, offering Multi-Cloud Management with Morpheus to its customers.
“[Competitors] will increasingly look for either their own technology or partner technology that they can use to steer future customers in a different direction,” he said. A potential downside might arise if HPE closes off Morpheus support for non-HPE customers, but that doesn’t seem likely, Kimball said. Morpheus offers support across platforms and clouds, and this aligns with HPE’s goal of supporting hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures, he said.
“Apps and data live everywhere and move from on prem to off prem, and from cloud to cloud,” Kimball said. “GreenLake enables this, the HPE software stack supports this, and acquisitions like Morpheus enable the seamless integration and management of that environment.”

Early deals ahead of the October Big Deal Days sale and everything we know so far
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is back this year, returning on October 8 and 9. The “fall Prime Day” of sorts has served as the online retailer’s unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season for the past few years.
We expect most of the deals to be Prime exclusives, meaning you must be an active Prime subscriber to get the discounts. There are always a couple of deals available for everyone, though, so it’s worth perusing Amazon’s site even if you don’t pay for Prime. It’s also worth doing so now because we’ve found a number of solid early Prime Day deals already available. These are the best of the bunch; we’ll be updating this post regularly in the lead-up to October Prime Day, so check back for the latest deals.
Prime Day deals on Apple gear
While it’d be wishful thinking to see discounts on the new AirPods or Apple Watch Series 10, there are still some decent Apple deals you can snag right now on iPads and accessories, plus some Beats gear.
Prime Day deals on Anker gear
It’s always a good idea to wait until shopping events like October Prime Day to stock up on charging gear from Anker, or any other company. It’s a safe bet that many more Anker devices will go on sale during the days of fall Prime Day, but those in need of an extra power bank or charger immediately can snag a few for less right now.
Prime Day deals on Amazon devices
We expect to see more Amazon gear go on sale as we get closer to October Prime Day, but for now, these discounts present a good opportunity to save on a few of our favorites.
Prime Day deals on tech
Early Prime Day deals on tech include discounts on robot vacuums, webcams, smart plugs and more. There are also gaming accessories that you can grab for cheap, along with storage gear in all shapes and sizes.
-
iRobot Roomba Vac robot vacuum for $170 ($80 off): This affordable robo-vac is only $10 more than it was during July Prime Day right now, making it an even better option if you want a robot vacuum without spending a ton.
-
Logitech Brio 500 Full HD Webcam for $93 ($37 off): Our top pick for the best webcam you can buy right now is $37 off, a decent discount even if it’s not a record-low sale.

TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Extender for $20 ($30 off): Our top budget pick in our best Wi-Fi extenders guide is more than half off right now. While not a rare deal, it’s still a record-low price on a handy device that could help eliminate dead zones around your home.
-
8BitDo Ultimate C wired gaming controller for $15 ($5 off): Now at $1 cheaper than it was during Prime Day in July, this 8BitDo accessory is an even better option for PC gamers or folks looking for a more comfortable Steam Deck controller.
-
ASTRO Gaming A40 TR wired gaming headset for $100 ($30 off): Our pick for the best gaming headset is $30 off, a discount we’ve seen a few times this year. We found these to be comfortable with better sound than many headsets, but the mic performance is only OK.
Streaming subscription deals
While these discounts aren’t technically October Prime day tech deals, we’d be remiss not to mention them. While sales on streaming services are becoming more common, there isn’t as much rhyme or reason to them as there is to, say, Amazon’s Prime Day sale cycle. That said, if you see a discount on a service you’ve been meaning to try, it’s worthwhile to jump on it.

Do I need an Amazon Prime membership to shop Prime Day deals?
Yes, because most deals will be Prime exclusives. However, there are always a few decent deals available to all Amazon shoppers, so it’s worth checking out Amazon’s site during October Prime Day to see where you can save even if you don’t pay for Prime.

The Plucky Squire is an adorable adventure that mixes 2D and 3D
The game puts you in the role of Jot, the titular plucky squire, who has the unusual ability to exist outside of the book he stars in. The two worlds are drastically different: inside the storybook is bright, colorful, and simple, while the real world is appropriately dark and realistic. They’re distinct, but through Jot, the worlds intersect as he sets about saving the book from an evil wizard. Solving puzzles involves flipping through pages to pull items from the past, using language to bypass barriers, and occasionally boxing a bear. It’s silly and heartfelt and, at times, calls to mind the 2D segments in Nintendo classics Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
“The idea of contrast was really important to the game.”
For Turner, the initial idea for the game came during a lull, when he had just left Pokémon developer Game Freak but hadn’t yet started work at All Possible Futures, the studio he cofounded with Jonathan Biddle. “I left Game Freak, and then I had nothing to do,” he tells The Verge. “To fill that void, I started drawing a webcomic.” That comic, called Cosmic, included a number of characters and ideas that would eventually make their way into The Plucky Squire as its storybook narrative took shape.
For Turner — who frequently posts hilarious mashup illustrations and who designed notable pokémon like Polteageist — one of the goals of the game was to create a unique clash of styles. Not only should the dimensions in The Plucky Squire play different, but they should look different as well. It’s an idea that came about early in development; initially, when Jot jumped into the real world, he was cel-shaded to keep his cartoony style. Eventually, though, it became clear that a more realistic, almost toy-like version of the character worked better.
Image: All Possible Futures
“It reduced the realism of the outside world quite significantly in a strange way,” Turner says of the cel shading. “Even though the outside world was very real, if the object that you’re looking at 90 percent of the time [isn’t], it starts to affect how you see the rest of the world.” He adds that “the idea of contrast was really important to the game.”
A good example is early on in The Plucky Squire when Jot is in search of a bow-and-arrow to complete a quest. This involves jumping through a portal into the real world, navigating a very messy desk filled with obstacles, and then jumping into a card ripped out of Magic: The Gathering to battle an elf. When Jot finally reaches his destination, there are three distinct art styles onscreen: storybook 2D, realistic 3D, and detailed fantasy art. “I thought that clash of styles would be the most jaw-dropping,” Turner explains.
“There’s a big gap outside of Nintendo.”
Outside of its visuals, The Plucky Squire is also notable for being an experience that works really well for all ages. The action and puzzles have just enough depth to them to be satisfying while not being intimidating for younger or less experienced players. It’s like a streamlined Zelda adventure, with some nice quality-of-life features, like an optional hint system that doesn’t give too much away. It’s a style of game that can be hard to find outside of something from Nintendo (which includes the upcoming Echoes of Wisdom). But titles like Astro Bot and The Plucky Squire are showing it’s possible for other developers, as well.
“There are lots of people that want to play those games, and they haven’t been catered to as much as they possibly should have been,” says Turner. “It does feel like there’s a big gap outside of Nintendo where it would be nice if we had those games more regularly. There’s a need for them.”
The Plucky Squire is out now on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
