The real issue is how much of that procedural generation can be explored? It’s one thing to be a nice piece of randomly generated set dressing but another to be interacted with by players.
You’re right that Bethesda has over a decade of experience with procedural generation but they haven’t done anything with it in any of their games except modify loot tables and create weather. What evidence is there that they will make explorable worlds that can be landed on anywhere? So far Elite Dangerous, No Man’s Sky, and Star Citizen have attempted it and only NMS has the ability to land anywhere on any plane then, get out and explore.
You know what? That’s fucking great and hype worthy. I’m now interested to see what happens with Starfield but, ultimately, I don’t trust Todd Howard to fulfill his promises. He’s spoiled fallout by making grand promises and then undercutting those expectations. There’s no reason to think he won’t do the same to Starfield.
Growing up doesn’t mean we stop finding a well timed fart funny. It means 70 years of memories is still tickled by a crude punchline. Old people and young people have the same sense of humor but slang causes transmission errors.
Senior Heritage officials had advocated for months in conversations with DeSantis’ team that he oppose policies that could move the U.S. toward direct confrontation with Russia, the people said....
It’s funded by billionaires like the Kochs, Mercers, and Waltons to make America a theocratic oligarchy. The Heritage foundation is one of the original quiet, evil “think tank” that generates conservative talking points. Ever wonder why conservatives all share the same talking points? It’s coordinated by the Heritage Foundation.
The contents of the rest of the page generates lots of questions and continually proposed that electricity is just a fluke and there’s no understanding of how or why. But the article was written by either an idiot or a liar because the reasons are known. Nuclear reactors are purpose built to make electricity. It’s safe to say that the vast amount of electricity on the planet at any given time is manmade and deliberate.
The formatting of the page is familiar to all of us because it’s a common layout: ask questions, intrigue the reader, then show how a thing works to answer those questions. The Bible verse at the end is the button line that connects it all - it’s the thing that’s standing up the whole line that the page is describing. Electricity is simple and understandable but this textbook makes it out to be magic and then finishes the page by talking about a time when skydaddy make magic too.
The entire thing is disingenuous and if you aren’t able to see that then you are either trying to sell people on sky daddy or you don’t know how page educational literature works.
This looks so good and Karai id an unexpected and welcomed addition! Originally they teased multiple characters and then changed their release to remove “multiple” from the release language so it was looking like Usagi would be the only new character. I can’t wait for this!

Baldurs Gate 3 with friends and Jagged Alliance 3 for single player time. Both are excellent roleplaying games with tactical combat.
I’m kind of bummed out on the hype behind BG3 though since player made characters get voices during creation but don’t use say anything in dialogue, even main quest dialogue.
Politicians should have their assets placed in a trust for the duration of their term, to encourage them to not run repeated terms. Then the politician should have to live on the median income for their district - to encourage them to improve the entire district and not just their own interests.
