Review in progress: ‘Starfield’ takes the ‘Skyrim’ formula out into the … – GeekWire

Posted: September 1, 2023 at 5:30 am

(Starfield screenshot)

Ive spent roughly 20 hours on Starfield at the time of this review, which is nowhere near enough to feel like Ive got a proper handle on it. With a lot of other games this year, reaching the 20-hour mark would put me at, past, or near their end, but Starfield is clearly just getting started.

Starfield is the most self-consciously big role-playing game yet from Bethesda Softworks, a Microsoft subsidiary and the Maryland-based studio behind similarly big RPGs such as Skyrim, Oblivion, and Fallout 3 & 4.

The common thread between Bethesdas games is they technically do have endings, but in a real sense, theyre only over when you decide to stop playing. In a Bethesda RPG, there will always be one more choice to make, faction to join (or betray), cave to explore, or monster to fight, and a single run isnt enough to see everything it has to offer.

Starfield is deliberately cut from the same cloth, to the point where its own director has called the game Skyrim in space. If youve ever played an Elder Scrolls game or any of the last few Fallouts, Starfield will feel familiar from the moment you take control of your character. Ten minutes in, I was walking around a crowded locker room and realized there was nothing to stop me from filling my inventory with 120 pounds of soap and whiteboard markers. This is classic Bethesda loot gremlin behavior.

Starfields big addition to that formula comes from its sense of scale. It feels a little bigger every time I sit down to play it, particularly when Im out exploring its vision of the universe. There are a few parts of the game that do feel like Bethesdas copying off its own worksheet, but when Starfields in a position to deliver on its core premise, its a solidly addictive RPG.

Starfield is set in the 24th century, 100 years after humanity has abandoned an uninhabitable Earth. Humans live throughout the Settled Systems, a loose network of planetary nations, and have stopped exploring any farther into space than what they already control.

At the start of the game, youre some random blue-collar dope whos taken a mining job out on the edge of explored space. On your first day, you dig up a chunk of a mysterious artifact, which changes your life on the spot.

Soon, youre offered a membership in Constellation, a small independent group thats out to reignite humanitys love of exploration. Youre given a ship, some crew, and a mission: help Constellation find the remaining pieces of the artifact.

Youre also entirely free to ignore that mission, however, in favor of doing whatever you want. For me that has included bounty hunting, debt collection, setting up remote mining outposts on unsettled planets, a little smuggling, some freelance security work, and a disturbing number of open gun battles with both space pirates and crooked mercenaries.

In my time with Starfield, it has seemed like everyone Ive talked to has a job for me, whether its breaking into an impound yard or a hostage rescue. At one point, I was actually trying to pursue the main story missions, and I still ended up in a fight with a bunch of thugs who were looting a biotech laboratory. It had nothing to do with what I was on that planet to accomplish. It just sort of happened.

(Related pro-tip: Starfield, like Fallout, doesnt have any systems like level scaling to keep you from blundering into parts of the universe you arent supposed to be in yet. Do yourself a favor: whenever youre in town, buy all of the medical supplies and Ship Parts you can find. You never know when Starfield will suddenly decide its time for you to get in over your head.)

At the same time, theres just enough detail in Starfields universe that Ive often gone exploring just for the sake of learning more about it. Even the most barren moons in its universe often have a few mystery features, like an abandoned lab or smugglers cache, that reward you for taking a long stroll across the surface. Of my 20 hours in-game so far, at least one of them was spent just walking around the city of New Atlantis, listening to ambient conversations, finding new stores, and learning more details about the settings history.

Starfieldis a game where its themes and mechanics have been made to match. Its a massive, sprawling universe, andStarfields at its best when youre simply out on your own, doing your own thing, seeing what Bethesdas vision of space has to offer.

Its at its worst, however, when it actually does feel like its just Skyrim or Fallout in space. The ground combat in particular feels cut-and-pasted from any given Fallout game, with space pirates instead of Super Mutants and slightly different guns. Its not bad, just sort of dull. Every time a gunfight starts in Starfield, I want to end it as fast as possible so I can get back to whatever Im actually trying to do.

My other initial complaints mostly boiled down to being on the low end of Starfields learning curve. It throws a lot at you from the start ground fighting, spaceflight, outpost construction, research projects, gastronomy and I kept losing a few early fights before figuring out what I was doing wrong. Starship combat was a particular issue at first, but a few upgrades and a little practice eventually sorted that out.

Theres a lot riding on Starfield that has little to do with the game itself particularly its status as a legal football in Microsofts battle with the Federal Trade Commission. On June 30, court testimony revealed that in 2021 Microsoft bought ZeniMax Media, Bethesdas parent company, specifically to keep Sony, a prime competitor, from making Starfield a console-exclusive for the PlayStation 5.

As a result, Starfield is a hot topic in the ongoing social-media flame wars between PlayStation and Xbox fans, particularly since another major Xbox exclusive, Redfall, was a critical failure upon its May release.

Is Starfield the killer app that analysts argue the Xbox platform needs right now? The jurys still out. Its up against some strong competition in the RPG space, between the recent Baldurs Gate 3, indie RPGs like Sea of Stars, and other big games from this summer such as Final Fantasy XVI.

This year has been an absolute murderers row for the gaming calendar, and its not even September. Starfields a good game and runs fine on Xbox Series X, but its heading into a packed field.

What I can say is Starfield is better than I expected, after bouncing off a couple of Elder Scrolls games. Its got the same sprawling, free-form depth as Bethesdas earlier RPGs, but puts it all together with unique visuals, an interesting new universe, and a lot of room to tell your characters unique story. Its worth checking out, as long as youve got a couple of hundred hours to kill.

Starfield is out Sept. 6 for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and the Xbox Game Pass. Players who pre-ordered the game can start playing the full version on Sept. 1.

Youngstown schools, teachers make progress on negotiations … – Youngstown Vindicator

Posted: at 5:30 am

YOUNGSTOWN Talks resumed between the Youngstown City School District and striking Youngstown Education Association on Wednesday, and it seems some progress was made.

Were still hoping something good could happen, but its going very slowly, said YEA spokesman Jim Courim.

The talks were scheduled from 1 to 5 p.m. but the two sides met past beyond that to about 8 p.m., with Courim saying some progress was made.

The union has been on strike since last Wednesday after membership voted overwhelmingly in favor of the strike on Aug. 21.

The school district filed a complaint with the State Employment Relations Board last week, contending that the strike was unauthorized under Ohio law because the union had not engaged in the fact-finding process generally required in collective bargaining.

On Friday, however, SERB ruled that the unions contract allows it to bypass that fact-finding process. Teachers returned to the picket lines on Monday.

At a special meeting Friday evening, the board of education stated that it would resume negotiations with YEA, and earlier this week promised 14 hours between Wednesday and the end of this week.

‘Revolutionary’ all-in-one farming machine debuts at Farm Progress – The Pantagraph

Posted: at 5:30 am

DECATUR A prototype of a revolutionary new, all-in-one, autonomous farming machine made its North American debut at the Farm Progress Show this week.

The NEXAT machine is the worlds first and only holistic plant production system, according to its North American marketer Terrakamp.

So the NEXAT is the name of the main machine, and it's multiple machines in one, said Samantha Jandrisch, director of communications and marketing with Terrakamp. The idea is it's a wide-span carrier unit that's 50 feet wide that attaches to multiple implements that will complete all phases of farming, from ground preparation to planting to spraying to tillage. Any application you use can be modularly attached and interchangeably used with this carrier unit.

Jandrisch and other Terrakamp officials say their machine could one day change what farming looks like.

It's revolutionary in the fact that we're kind of rethinking the way that we farm, Jandrisch said. The modular interchangeable application is in itself such a value, you know, not having to have more than one tractor unit for all those different implements is just in itself revolutionary. But really, what's behind it is what we call wideband controlled traffic farming.

The 45-foot distance in between the tracks implements are attached to is never compacted, Jandrisch said, since the same tracks are being used on each side for every phase a farmer goes through their field.

Minimizing soil compaction can help revitalize the soil and lead to better harvests, she said.

Jandrisch said that although the NEXAT is still being tested and is not yet on the market, it received lots of positive feedback at this weeks show.

Matt Ochsner, one of the farmers helping to test and give feedback on the prototypes, said the NEXAT might also help farmers address labor shortages.

We're trying to not necessarily get rid of labor but find a better way to utilize our labor, Ochsner said. We don't have it, so we can't really get rid of it. On a farm, that's the biggest struggle right now is finding help. There just aren't very many of us left.

Outfitted with autonomous technology, the NEXAT could shake up the ag industry, Ochsner said.

From an economic point of view, it's nice to have a different competitor other than Deere or Case, he said. It's nice to see something that could change the industry like Precision Planting did. I dont know if were quite there yet, but it's a different concept. It's a little bit futuresque.

Vince Herman, a farmer from Edgerton, Ohio, said the technology was way ahead of my time.

It's remarkable, the engineering into something like this, Herman said.

What might be even more remarkable, he said, is how much farming has changed during his lifetime.

Alongside the line fence, they got really nice old tractors, just for instance, Herman said. Its not like Im picking on todays tractors. Im just saying, from all that stuff out there, I grew up with all of those tractors. Ill tell you, it's a lifetime of changing. Coming to this thing? This blows my mind.

CSRWire – Designing for Sustainability Drives Progress Along … – CSRwire.com

Published 18 hours ago

Submitted by Logitech

LAUSANNE, Switzerland and SAN JOSE, Calif.,August 31, 2023 /CSRwire/- Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) published its Fiscal Year 2023 Impact Report detailing the Companys progress toward its sustainability commitments. Logitech is dedicated to removing more carbon than it produces, aiming to achieve climate positive by 2030. Since 2019, Logitech has reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by more than 56% and its carbon intensity has decreased by 74%. Scope 3 value chain emissions have reduced by more than 21% since 2021.

As part of our long-term journey toward climate positivity, our 15th Impact Report illustrates how our teams, including our value chain partners, are making meaningful progress on lifecycle carbon reductions, said Prakash Arunkundrum, chief operating officer at Logitech. Our Design for Sustainability approach continues to scale, accelerating the transition to lower impact materials and circular alternatives across our product portfolio.

Designing for Sustainability is a catalyst for reducing negative environmental impact and elevating social impact. Because sourcing materials and the manufacturing of Logitech products comprises 65% of the companys entire carbon footprint, moving to renewable energy, partnering with suppliers, and focusing on removing and reducing hidden impacts early in the design process are critical to achieving the companys climate goals. Highlights from this year's report include the following:

The programs across Logitech aim to advance the positive impact we can have on individuals, communities, and society, said Kirsty Russell, head of people and culture at Logitech. In particular, we have taken an accelerated approach to addressing the barriers that keep people from accessing inclusive technology. Creating programs that challenge existing stereotypes and enable all people to work, create, and play will make everyone successful.

Progress made on county board recall petitions | News, Sports, Jobs – Marquette Mining Journal

Posted: at 5:30 am

By ILSA MINOR

Escanaba Daily Press

ESCANABA A group of Delta County residents circulating petitions to recall three county commissioners is making progress towards their goal despite obstacles that delayed their ability to collect signatures.

We are recalling the three of them because they show a pattern of unethical behavior, said Christiana Reynolds, who serves as a spokesperson for the Delta County Citizens for Ethical Leadership. Its a pattern of unethical behavior, and thats whats so frustrating about it. If we had hope that there was going to be any kind of changes, we wouldnt be in this recall situation. We dont have any sort of confidence that well see any change of behavior or apologies or anything different from what weve already seen, which is, in our opinion, unacceptable behavior in our leadership.

The Citizens for Ethical Leadership are seeking the removal of commissioners Bob Barron, of District 3; Bob Petersen, of District 5; and Commission Chair Dave Moyle, of District 4. While the recall language on the petitions being circulated specifically references the commissioners votes to terminate former Delta County Administrator Emily DeSalvo on Feb. 7, Reynolds sees DeSalvos firing as a flash point for citizens, many of whom were unhappy with the commissioners prior to February.

With Emilys termination out of the blue, that was the straw that broke the camels back. That was sort of the catalyst that brought everyone together and we said, OK, we have to be serious about this and thats when we formed, said Reynolds.

As of Friday, roughly 40% of the 666 signatures needed to place Moyles name on the May 2024 ballot and 45% of the 1,001 signatures needed to do the same for Barron have been collected. Signature collection has not yet started for District 5, but the Citizens for Ethical Leadership plan to start collecting during Escanabas Labor Day festivities.

Were one recall effort, but because were tackling three different areas we wanted to break us up into three different teams, and so each team got together separately and decided what their strategy was, like what works best for their area, said Reynolds, who noted that all three district teams will be collecting during the Labor Day events.

OMB’s Quarterly PMA Update Underscores Progress in Federal … – Executive Gov

Posted: at 5:29 am

The Office of Management and Budget has provided quarterly updates to the Presidents Management Agenda and shared progress on the second PMA priority, which seeks to transform federal service delivery and customer experience.

The implementation leads for the second priority offered updates on efforts to reimagine federal government services, particularly in the areas of high-impact service providers and life experience projects, according to a Performance.gov blog post published Wednesday.

According to the report, 26 of the 35 HISPs are publicly reporting data on their public interactions to improve accountability and that some HISPs, including the Social Security Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services, have made strides when it comes to delivering services to citizens.

HHS, for instance, performed prototyping and user interviews to help inform changes to Medicare.gov.

Two life experience projects reportedly achieved milestones, one of which is via the Navigating Transition to Civilian Life life experience. Under the Prototyping integrated transition planning support for Service members project, the Department of Veterans Affairs is developing prototypes and minimum viable products for a shared software meant to help former service personnel access their benefits.

Baylor cross country preview: Bears’ process revolves around … – Waco Tribune-Herald

Posted: at 5:29 am

Sometimes when its hot, when the road is long and the hills are high and the path is uneven, all a runner can do is just keep going. Its all about making progress.

As the 2023 season gets rolling, thats the mindset the Baylor cross country team is carrying.

I believe both of our finishes at conference and at regionals were higher than the year before, said Hayden Gold, a junior for the BU women That was really encouraging to see how our team was progressing. Honestly, we do have a couple more competitors coming into our conference this year, so itll be interesting to see how they match up against the Big 12, the existing Big 12 teams.

Indeed, the Bears have made incremental steps of forward progress as they go into their third season under head coach David Barnett. In the closing meet of the 2022 season at the NCAA South Central Regionals, the Baylor men charged to a seventh-place finish in that fierce field, the programs best regional showing since placing fifth in 2016. The BU women sprung forward to an eighth-place regional finish, the Bears best since 2017, when they were third.

Now its time to pick up the pace again.

In year three, you want to just keep making progress conference-level progress; regional progress; hopefully have some people go to nationals, Barnett said. Last year, we had a couple of people that were all-region for the first time. We just want to keep making progress. And after the first meet or two, youll have a better idea specifically what people are capable of.

Three BU runners reached that all-region standard last season, two on the mens side in Ryan Day and Drew Snyder and one for the women in Ellie Hodge. Only Snyder among that trio has not exhausted his eligibility. But a ravenous group of freshmen has joined the program hungry to prove themselves, freshman 15 be damned.

They all have a sense of urgency, Barnett said. They know that their best opportunities are going to be early in the season. And if they want to have more, they have to make the most of these. Theyre all testing the waters with the upperclassmen and seeing where they are. And Ive been really pleased with their efforts so far.

For the BU women, veterans like Gold, seniors Lily Williams and Anna Garner, and juniors Cate Urbani and Jordan Ledington will act as the trail blazers. But they should be pushed by a five-member freshman group, headlined by San Antonio Reagans Kira Dieterich, who finished second at the Class 6A state meet two seasons ago, and Live Oaks Kat Helmer, who twice led the Lady Falcons to TAPPS team state titles.

Theyre very hungry, Gold said of the freshmen. Theyre very driven to succeed, so Im looking forward to getting to know them a little bit more, competing against them in practice and having them on the line with me in races.

Snyder, a junior from Lincoln, Neb., returns to forge the path for the BU men after striding to a 24th-place at last years regional meet. Hell share leadership duties with graduate senior Ryan Hodge, who is coming off a solid track season in the spring in which he was the silver medalist in the 10,000 at the Texas Relays and charged to an all-conference showing in that race at the Big 12 meet.

I think we're really excited, Hodge said. We have younger group coming in, kind of lost a lot of older guys and I'm kind of one of the few older guys left on the team. So, it's fun to kind of step into more of already was in a leadership role, but it feels like even maybe more so this year of just trying to lead by example. And younger guys are also hungry and really invested, and they came in in good shape and their workouts have been really good. So, it's been exciting to see.

Four freshmen will join the Bear ranks for the mens team: Kanalu Wong of San Antonio Reagan, Aiden Ramshaw of Katy Tompkins, Straton Miller of The Woodlands and Nolan Keenan of San Antonio Alamo Heights. Hodge and Barnett both stated that they think several of the freshmen will be able to contribute right away. But as someone who has stood in their running flats before, Hodge wasnt about to put too much pressure on them.

Freshman year, at the end of the day, you just want to stay healthy, and that's really all you want to do the first semester, Hodge said. You have so many changes going on with coming to school, moving away from your parents and just getting adjusted to the Division I cross country level, which is just different from high school. So, I think that's what Connor Laktastic (from Baylors 2020 squad), he was one of the old runners on my team a year older than me, graduated a few years ago, but he always would tell the freshmen just be like all you want to stay healthy. And the more I've gone through it, the more I'm like that's exactly what you want to do.

So, if you can come away without an injury and have a solid block of training in the fall leading you into a good track season, then I think that's the best freshman year you could ask for.

Baylors opening meet arrives Friday with the UIW Twilight Meet, hosted by Incarnate Word in San Antonio. Itll be something of a soft opening, as the women will run a 4K and the men a 6K, shorter distances than a typical meet. Barnett called it a rust-buster, a chance to start determining the pecking order for future, more competitive meets.

The meet also offers up a different schedule than most cross country outings, with an 8:50 p.m. start time, hence the twilight in the name. While Gold joked that the meet would begin after her bedtime, the runners were mostly looking forward to the opportunity to potentially compete in cooler temperatures and with more fans in attendance.

All in all, theyre looking to put their best foot forward, and make steady progress not just Friday but throughout the 2023 campaign.

For now, its more process-oriented goals, Barnett said. Year two was better than year one for me. Year three, I think, will be better. I think everyones just kind of trending in the right direction. Bottom line is you just want to be more competitive than you were the year before.

An Amazing Journey of Progress For This Little Girl – Pittsburgh Magazine

Posted: at 5:29 am

Kindergartener Luci Burke was recognized as her classrooms Student of the Month this spring. The award brought tears to her grandmothers eyes.

I was really emotional about that, describes Keni Jefferson, who has raised Luci since she was seven months old. After a very difficult start to the school year, with days where Luci was sent home because of her inappropriate behavior, it meant so much to see her grow and progress into this accomplishment.

Luci is a silly, spirited child with a unique personality who loves to sing and have special occasion sleepovers in her grandmothers bed. She was diagnosed with an adjustment disorder and developmental delays due to the trauma of infant neglect before she was placed in Kenis care. Aggressive behaviors first presented during pre-kindergarten and escalated the following year. She receives behavioral health and speech language therapy services weekly at The Childrens Institute of Pittsburgh.

When Luci came to live with me, she was malnourished and unloved, and her feet had never touched the floor, says Keni. She was behind developmentally in every area. We have been working together since then with help from The Childrens Institute on meeting milestones. I really admire Lucis spirit and determination, and especially her resilience.

Through evidence-based and trauma-informed talk therapy, Luci is learning new coping skills and emotion regulation strategies to strengthen her self-esteem and social skills. Speech language therapy gives Luci the tools to better understand language and how to communicate with the world around her. At home, Keni reinforces lessons learned and organizes their life together with familiar routines.

Keni and Luci are closely bonded, and Luci is learning how to express her wants and needs in healthy ways. When she is frustrated, she can regulate her emotions and remember to use her words: Can you help me? The colored behavior chart at school, which showed mostly red dots (difficult days) in the early months of the school year, now displays long lines of green dots (good days).

The Childrens Institute has been there for us during our best and worst times, Keni explains. Lucis therapists are patient, gentle, and compassionate, and they are so skilled at bringing out the best in her. I see the steady growth and progress in Luci, and I trust The Childrens Institute will continue to help her thrive.

Behavioral health services at The Childrens Institute help children and families develop skills to manage mood, thinking, and behaviors. By moving toward resiliency and healing, children become happier and healthier at home, school, and in the community.
