Starfield is the biggest Bethesda game thus far, which means it’s pretty darn massive. Since its recent release, players have been flying through the interstellar setting in search of new companions, missions, and more. If you’ve played the game yourself, then you’ve likely come across the adorable cube-shaped Chunks food items. Every time I see one of the Chunks, I’m not sure whether I’m hungry or scared. I mean, there are cubed cakes, eggs, and pretty much every category of food you can think of.
If you’ve read our Starfield review, then you know how much there is to see in Bethesda’s latest RPG game. With everything from gas giants to water worlds, space is vast and Starfield does a great job of conveying just how much there is out there. Including cube-shaped food. One fan decided that Chunks looked pretty appetizing, and figured the little squares of tasty goodness could make good real-life food. So, she made them in the real world.
Here it is: (almost) everything from the Starfield Chunks menu! pic.twitter.com/iZUXHg8rPf

Twitch partner ‘Kat of Whimsy’ posted her creation on Twitter, writing that she has made “almost” everything from the Starfield Chunks menu. If you watch the video, you’ll see the variety of cubed flavors she remade. From square mashed potatoes to a smushed-looking burger, Kat teaches us that literally anything you eat can be turned into a yummy bite-sized cube.
The textures are everywhere, too. Squishy? Yes. Gelatinous? Sure. Multi-layered? Why not. The more I watch Kat’s video on repeat, the more I think I want to eat Chunks myself. Remember how I said I’m sometimes scared of them? Kat’s recreations feel like exposure therapy. Yes, square food is an exotic, foreign concept, but surely it’s better than what our contemporary astronauts are stuck eating while in space.
For those of you traversing Bethesda’s starry setting right now, you should have a look through our rundown on all of the Starfield planets available to explore in-game. Not all of them will be as cool as cube-shaped food, but many come pretty close. Alternatively, you can check out our in-depth guide on all of the coolest Starfield mods to download and spice up your base game.

Without getting too deep into spoiler territory for those who haven't played much Starfield yet, there's a quest line in the main story involving temples. The first temple has a sort of puzzle inside that takes a few minutes to figure out, and there's a nice reward at the end of it.
One Starfield player has effectively become the galaxy's ultimate Good Samaritan by breaking down how to build an outpost network collecting every single resource with perfect efficiency - or, at least, nearly perfect efficiency.
Bethesda Game Studio’s creative director, Todd Howard, wasn’t expecting our Starfield ships to be so damn cool.
Starfield stores some of its most intriguing riches and best loot behind locked doors, which require a futuristic lockpick known as a digipick to open. But what if you need practice at the mechanic, but you don’t want to burn through your store of valuable digipicks? Or what if you’re on the go, and you yearn for the simple joy of unlocking a space door? Afan named BB-dev created an open source digipick simulator to scratch that itch.
The Baldur’s Gate 3 cast can be summed up as an eclectic cast of weirdos forcibly brought together by fate. Despite their constant life-or-death situations, they find time to bicker and form deep friendships. The idea describes many RPG casts, but Baldur’s Gate 3‘s cast also fits as sitcom characters.
Exploring in Starfield is hungry-making work, and whether you’re in New Atlantis, Neon Ebbside, or Akila City, Chunks is there to keep your belly full and your body fueled. Starfield’s signature dining experience offers a variety of cube-shaped dishes for weary travelers. Whether you’re after an Apple with four edges, a square of Mongolian Beef, or a boxy Poached Egg, there’s a little bit of something for everyone.
The biggest fast food chain in Starfield’s vast universe is called Chunks, a company that renders every food item you can think of into a literal cube. One fan has now made the valiant effort of recreating “almost” every item on the Chunks menu in real life.
Starfield has a pretty decent range of clothing for all you fashionistas out there, but every now and then you'll spot an NPC wearing a particularly attractive suit or outfit that puts your own threads to shame. If you were playing Skyrim, you could simply get into your best sneaking position and attempt to undress the person where they stand, but Starfield has no feature that allows you to swipe the clothes that NPCs are wearing. Even murdering them doesn't let you take the clothes off their body.
Given how Starfield cozied up to AMD, those who don’t use Team Red’s hardware may have had concerns about how optimized the game would be on Nvidia’s tech. Fortunately, when it comes to upscaling at least, Bethesda is launching official DLSS support. But until then, the mod community is coming to the rescue.
Marvel revealed a flurry of teasers yesterday in advance of the company's panel at New York Comic Con. These included announcing the end of the Krakoan Age for the X-Men, Chip Zdarsky and Daniel Acuña’s "startling new vision" for the Avengers and, most eye-catchingly, the resurrection of Magneto.
Microsoft has recently suffered perhaps its biggest ever leak in the games industry, having accidentally uploaded unredacted documents as part of its legal proceedings with the FTC. In the process, several new details have emerged, including the company’s plans to release a cloud hybrid next-gen Xbox console in 2028, a mid-gen Xbox Series X refresh that’s apparently in the works, a new Xbox controller that will have haptic feedback, Bethesda’s whole slate of upcoming titles, and more.
