Starfield could never have seamless space travel like No Man’s Sky, the engine and game aren’t designed for it. However, I still wish they took a page out of Star Wars Outlaws and tried to make it look seamless rather than an immersion breaking black screen.

Andrei Tarkovsky on Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964): "I like the picture. I like it precisely because its director did not succumb to the temptation of interpreting the Bible. The Bible has been interpreted for two thousand years and no one can reach unanimous agreement. So Pasolini did not set himself this task, he just left the thing in the form in which it was born. Many feel that the image of a militant cruel Christ was made up by the author of the film. Not true! Read the Gospels and you will see that this was a cruel, cantankerous, irreconcilable man. Moreover with what genius was it written! On the one hand he's God and the Church has been relying on him for two thousand years, but he succumbs to doubt in the garden of Gethsemane. What could be simpler than to call for help from his father and avoid dying on the cross, but he doesn't do this. He is all back-to-front..." — "The Passion According to Andrei: An Unpublished Interview with Andrei Tarkovsky" by Aleksandr Lipkov, 1967 (English translation by Robert Bird, University of Chicago, Slavic Languages and Literatures)
