One streamer and dev has found the perfect way to mark the days until the launch of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield: with an onli🦩ne countdown that deposits one digital sandwich into an ever-growing pile every five minutes until the game is out.

The Starfield Sandwich Countdown, available at , is a simple Unity program that runs in a browser window. It features a table inside a spaceship with a window looking out at the stars, and an increasingly voluminous pile of sandwiches. The countdown clock is pointing to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield Early Access date on August 31, so if you're waiting for the regular edi💎tion just imagine the sandwich pile getting even bigger.

, working with an artist called . In a brief clip explaining the concept, Blurbs said that "certain weird things might start happening on the ship as we get closer to release." And, indeed, there's a malevolent-looking portal - or perhaps an Oblivion gate - growing in the ship's window. The last time I checked, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Adoring Fan was also hovering o♚utside the window, trying to get my atte𓆉ntion. 

If you're wondering what the deal is with the sandwiches, well, it's based on one developer's anecdote during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield Direct earlier this year, when producer Jamie Malloray revealed that she likes to play the game by stealing sandwiches and stashing them in a dedicated sandwich cargo hold. It instantly became a meme among the community - and a pretty notable justification for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield's 30FPS frame rate cap on consoles.

The concept of the Starfield Sandwich Countdown is so fun that even Xbox is showing its approval. The official Xbox accou💧nt "Can we dive in there? Like a ball pit?" Xbox marketing boss Aaron Greenberg "Cannot think of ཧa more appropriate way to countdown to launch."
