“I see you’re exploring the galaxy.” A Starfield player made this insane Clippy space ship, taking the old school Microsoft assistant interstellar.


What you need to know

  • It’s Monday and nobody has logged on yet, so I can post whatever I feel like. 
  • Clippy is Microsoft’s notorious Office assistant from the 90s, who remains a cherished icon of a bygone age. 
  • To celebrate Clippy’s legacy, Starfield player /u/lililiilillil from Reddit recreated the fun and cheeky Office tool as an interstellar space ship. 
  • Using Starfield’s space ship crafter, you can create ships of all shapes and sizes, and go even further using mods on PC. 
  • Starfield gets its first major story DLC drop today, dubbed Shattered Space. 

Happy Monday gamers and Microsoft 365 users everywhere. None of the other editors have logged in yet, so I’m abusing the lack of oversight to post something fun and fanciful to get your week started. 

If you’re of a certain age (potentially with back pain), you may remember Clippy, Microsoft’s fun and friendly Office assistant of yore. Clippy would pop up over the top of Word and other application documents, offering tips and tricks, sometimes unwantedly so, while you were working. These days we have Microsoft Copilot and the promise of AI tools like Windows Recall popping up unwantedly on our Microsoft documents, and they’re certainly far less fun than Clippy was. Alas, Clippy is gone, consigned to the ancient past of Microsoft’s vast and expanding graveyard of products no longer with us.
