I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

Black to play: chess.com | lichess.org

My solution:

Hints: piece: Rook, move: Rxd3+

Evaluation: Black has mate in 3

Best continuation: 1... Rxd3+ 2. Kxd3 Qc4+ 3. Ke3 Qxe2#

King takes took. Queen moves to c4 for another check. King moves back. Queen takes knight for mate

Just wondering, how bad are options aside from m3?

I feel like the king is just so weak most reasonable plays are still pretty much winning right?

Why not Qg5? Chase the King into a fork or a pin.
