Now, Sea of Thieves season 7 has sought to reward players for how they play, introducing captaincy, a way to name their ship, and a way to personalize their own captain’s cabin based on how they choose to engage in the game. Game Rant recently spoke with creative director Mike Chapman and lead designer Shelley Preston about these new features and plans for features like captaincy in the future.

In Sea of Thieves, pirates will have a choice between three different kinds of voyages to embark on. They can either seek out treasure, collect skulls, or procure trade goods, often in the form of animals. Any salty sea dog looking for the latter will have to search high and low, island to island, in order to find either chickens, pigs, or snakes to fulfill their contracts. Thankfully, Reddit user Nhymn is helping out fellow swashbucklers by creating a map of the entire sea, complete with the locations of all the animals on each island, as well as where to find forts and outposts....

The rather generic black-plastic casing used to house the P504 is sturdy enough, but it’s chunky and heavy, measuring a full 45 mm thick. We also weighed it at 3.5 kg, rather than the 3.3 kg quoted on Schenker’s website. That’s big and heavy, even for a 15-inch laptop with a built-in DVD drive. The keyboard feels firm and comfortable, but its slightly cramped layout includes a half-height US-style Enter key and puts the Fn key over on the right of the space-bar – both of which took some getting used to....

In some cases, multiple members of the same school board have been recalled, often over mask mandates or COVID-related school closures. In Colorado’s Boulder Valley School District, parents started to recall three school board members who supported a mask mandate and have until late November to collect enough signatures against the board members. Kathy Gebhardt, a board member and mother of five, said she has been called a Nazi, a child abuser and a “eugenicist technocrat” for supporting masks in schools....

As both a parent and former Chief Safety & Security Officer for one of the 10 largest school districts in the U.S., it’s a problem I think about a lot: How do we balance limited resources, limited time and a nearly unlimited number of scenarios that may put our kids in danger? How do we increase educators’ time in the classroom, reduce the time that they spend off-task on non-educational outcomes, and still ensure that our schools have a well-understood plan for anything from a gas leak or kitchen fire to a mass tragedy?...

It’s called metacognition—the ability to think about your thoughts, to engage in self-reflection, to introspect. It was long thought to be not just something that we have more of or do better than machines or animals, but that we have and they lack. To know what you know is not only the mark of a skilled game-show contestant who is quick (but not too quick) on the buzzer, but also of consciousness, the last stand for human exceptionalism....
