Some people love to spend hours in character creators, while others just want to get right into the game. Starfield doesn't have the most robust systems for modeling your character, but you can still spend a good chunk of time before even choosing your Background or Traits. Even if you do take your time, there's a good chance you will eventually get tired of looking at the same face after dozens or hundreds of hours and want something fresh. You'd never know it unless you stumbled upon it, but Starfield does allow you to alter your appearance after the opening. Here's how to do it.

How to change your appearance

You can change what your character looks like almost immediately after the intro in Starfield by visiting a specific location.

Step 1: Travel to New Atlantis.

Step 2: Go to the Commercial District.

Step 3: From the train station, go straight ahead past the Infinity Ltd. building on the left.

Step 4: The next building is the Enhance! shop with a big blue and yellow sign with a face on it.

Step 5: Go inside and talk to the receptionist and pay the 500 Credits to be taken back to the character creator screen, where you can completely reshape your character.

You can always come back here to change your character whenever you like, so long as you have the small fee of 500 Credits to spend.

Minecraft enchantments: how to enchant items and best enchantments

Minecraft had almost limitless possibilities when it launched, but over the years has added some very unexpected features and mechanics. There have been plenty of new items to craft and materials to find, but things like brewing potions and enchanting items add new layers of depth to everything you do.

Enchantments in particular are especially valuable for any player, or group of players, thanks to the variety of buffs they provide. They can make just about every piece of equipment better, but the process is a little esoteric. If you're struggling to master the art of enchantments in Minecraft, we'll make it nice and simple.

How to redeem codes on PS5

As we tumble closer and closer to that all-digital future, we're seeing fewer games on discs and far more given away as codes. While there are drawbacks to only having a digital library, being able to easily input a code into your console and download a game is no doubt convenient. Well, it would be if it weren't so difficult to actually find the right menu to type in that code. There are a lot of quirks to the PS5's interface, but the code redemption screen is particularly tricky to find. If you've got a fresh game code you desperately want to redeem, we'll help you out.

Your favorite video game is retro now

What is a retro game?

Back in the 2000s -- at the height of The Angry Video Game Nerd's popularity and the genesis of throwback games like Cave Story and Mega Man 9 -- that question seemed straightforward. It was a term used to describe games from the Atari 2600 and NES eras. Two decades later, that question is much more challenging to answer. We are as far from the first episode of AVGN as that video was from the launch of the Famicom in Japan. Comedy videos are being made about how old Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is. Xbox is asking players on X (formerly Twitter) if they're nostalgic about game franchises that all started in 2000 or later.
