     Starfield story and timeline explained

What is the Starfield timeline? So far, we've been piecing together the Starfield story and lore of major players and planets that appear in Settled Systems from the information teased in trailers and previews. Thankfully, Bethesda has now released a Starfield timeline spanning 278 years, allowing us to track all the major events in the story so far.

We already have a strong indication of just how big Starfield is, so it stands to reason that a universe of this size must have an expansive history to match. The official Starfield timeline charts humanity's course across the stars and their eventual settlement on distant planets, as well as the founding of major cities. Given how long we can expect our Starfield journey to take, let us walk you through the history of the Settled Systems.

     Starfield digipicking explained

What is Starfield digipicking? There's going to be stuff in space that people don't want you to get your grubby little mitts on. They lock their cases, their cabinets, hell, even their doors. The fools. They don't know that you're already a master of digipicking - the futuristic version of Starfield lockpicking, obviously - and it'll take much more than a silly lock to stand in your way.

The Starfield release date is edging ever closer, and the smell of adventure is in the air - well, in your spacesuit, anyway - if you're anything like us, you can't wait to gather your companions, build your own Starfield spaceship, and set off into the final frontier. What happens, though, if you find something that's locked? Well, you pick that lock, silly. Here's how.

     New roguelike deck builder is Slay the Spire with combos, playable now

Novus Orbis is the latest fantasy roguelike deck builder to catch my eye on Steam, and in just a short time playing it has me hooked on its combo-driven combat. Following in the footsteps of the best card games like Slay the Spire, Novus Orbis is built around the idea of chaining your attacks in specific sequences to maximize their effects. It's a concept that's simple but effective, and you can try it out for yourself with a free demo right now.

Which FFXIV Scions of the Seventh Dawn Character Do You Like Best?

2023 and 2024 are big years for Final Fantasy XIV. The Fan Fests kicked off worldwide again. Square Enix revealed the new Dawntrail expansion due out in 2024. There's the 10th anniversary, with accompanying events. A lot's going on! We figured now is a good time to talk about the FFXIV Scions of the Seventh Dawn characters we liked best, given we'll be heading out on a new journey with them in 6.5 and 7.0.

As much as I like G'raha Tia, Estinien is my favorite out of all the FFXIV characters. I mean, he's a strong companion and gets some great character development from A Realm Reborn to Endwalker. I think his relationship with Aymeric is great. Also, his Lucille Bluth levels of disregard when it comes to money always amuses me. -- Jenni

This may be controversial, but I'm not a huge fan of most of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn after all these years of playing FFXIV. While I like Estinien, I could use more development for him. That said, G'raha Tia stands out as the best for me. His charm and seemingly undying love for the protagonist is terrific. But even he has lacked in appearances and attention in the last several patches and in Endwalker. -- Cody

     Animals in Stardew Valley can be very profitable if you take proper care of them and feed them Hay every day. However, the game has made the feeding process unnecessarily complicated for no reason. You would think that feeding animals should be a relatively easy task, but the ConcernedApe, the game's developer, has made sure […]
