Review: With ‘Starfield,’ fans feel familiar pull into Bethesda’s orbit

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 09:00:27 GMT

Although “Starfield” is Bethesda Game Studios’ first wholly original game in 29 years, the project feels eerily familiar. The graphics may have received an overhaul with the Creation Engine 2, and the setting is different as players take on the role of an explorer in this sci-fi epic, but the core experience has a distinct signature.Like a fingerprint, there’s no mistaking the hallmarks of a Bethesda Game Studios release. It’s a quality that’s intrinsic to the studio, and it shows up in the new universe of “Starfield.” Players take on the role of a newbie miner on Vectera, a moon in the Narion system, who discovers a mysterious artifact.A TOUCH OF THE SPECTACULARUpon touching the piece of metal, the protagonist, which players customize in the beginning, hears music and sees lights before being knocked out. When Barrett, a member of Constellation, shows up to pick up the artifact, he invites the player to join a collective on Jemison in...

49ers mailbag: Answering fan questions on Bosa’s holdout, front office decisions and injury updates

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 09:00:27 GMT

SANTA CLARA – The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year has yet to show up on the season’s doorstep, but 49ers fans sure have by submitting questions for this Week 1 mailbag via social media:What is really going on with Nick Bosa? This seems suspicious. (@_wrrongg)This contract impasse actually seems like it’s about to end, because the season is about to begin. No more training camp practices or preseason games to skip. No more time to squabble over guaranteed money or injury protection, etc. Both camps have been quiet, as promised, which should have told you they expected a prolonged negotiation that, in no small feat, resets the market.Has the 49ers’ front office progressively gotten worse over the last two years that a change is needed after this year regardless of win/loss ratio, citing the handling of Bosa, Lance and kickers as recent references? (@J_Propar)No. The front office is not to crucify for Trey Lance bombing in two injury-marred seasons, nor for the still-at-the-t...

By Michael Kunzelman, Lindsay Whitehurst and Alanna Durkin Richer | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Former Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio will be sentenced on Tuesday for a plot to attack the U.S. Capitol in a failed bid to stop the transfer of presidential power after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.Tarrio will be the final Proud Boys leader convicted of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack to receive his punishment. Three fellow Proud Boys found guilty by a Washington jury of the rarely used sedition charge were sentenced last week to prison terms ranging from 15 to 18 years.The Justice Department wants the 39-year-old Tarrio to spend more than three decades in prison, describing him as the ringleader of a plot to use violence to shatter the cornerstone of American democracy and overturn the election victory by Joe Biden, a Democrat, over Trump, the Republican incumbent.Tarrio wasn’t in Washington on Jan. 6 — he was arrested two days earlier in a se...

How the ultra-wealthy infiltrated anti-capitalist Burning Man

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 09:00:27 GMT

By Allison Morrow | CNNNew York ( — Burning Man, the desert confab that descended into chaos over the weekend, isn’t quite the scrappy, free-spirited revelry that it once was.For many watching the disarray of Burning Man from afar, the rain and mud that left 70,000 people stranded quickly became a symbol of the festival’s departure from its roots.Or, more simply: how the billionaires ruined Burning Man.The festival began as a small gathering in 1986 on a San Francisco beach, and eventually grew into a gritty countercultural community of “Burners” who eschew commercialism within their makeshift city, erected annually in a desiccated lake bed known as the playa.There’s no money trading hands on the playa — that’s core to to the community’s “decommodification” ethos. But there is, increasingly, a lot of money on the playa.Going to Burning Man is, in some elite circles, akin to having climbed Everest or taken ayuhuasca on a meditation retreat — a spiritually transformative experience, u...

Is Joe Jonas playing some kind of game with Sophie Turner divorce reports?

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 09:00:27 GMT

As Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are supposedly headed for divorce, fans of the popular couple are wondering if Jonas is playing some kind of P.R. game.Since TMZ broke the shocking news over the Labor Day weekend that Jonas and the “Game of Thrones” alum were ending their four-year marriage, the musician has been seen as sending mixed and irksome messages about the state of their marriage. He has chosen to wear, or not wear, his wedding ring in highly visible ways and he’s been accused of trying to court sympathy by letting it be known that he’s been left the primary caretaker of their two young daughters while Turner is off somewhere.The questions about Jonas’ intentions grew Monday evening after the singer posted a photo of himself on Instagram, wearing said wedding ring, as if to refute the onslaught of divorce reports that came from outlets over the weekend — outlets like People, TMZ and Page Six, which are usually pretty reliable when it comes ...
