That's one hell of a high score. Don't think there's enough space to put everyone's initials on the screen though...

Also just a little tidbit, the 1% subdivision of a euro is a cent, just like USD.

It is from those not paying attention (see: most people)

Good. Let's make it known exactly who is trying to steal away consumer rights. Make their names and faces known to everyone. Make it known they can't win. That they can't take back what has already been sold.

I can see where they're coming from about the design but I'm still pro-choice. If a NG+ wrecks the balance, that's on me... or I'll be living the OP edgerunner fantasy of my dreams.

Learn to be more like Liam Neeson.

Nor will I adhere to it.

I think you're letting your own biases blind you. I'm not going to defend Notch or anything like that (and Musk can gargle a 50' golden cock and balls, for the record) but I'd consider myself to be quite in the loop about the general happenings in the gaming world and still didn't know about this shit so I don't think it's unfair to assume the average consumer is going to know too much more than "creator of one of the greatest games of all time supports game ownership. Cool!" and likely not read any further than that because we're still talking about people on the internet. So yes, I do think it's an advantage to have a headline like that. And for the smarter people who understand the world is full of nuance, we see an alt-right fascist expressing a surprisingly left-leaning ideology.

FG's installer has a RAM limiter option, correct.

Maybe so but the more big-name supporters of the concept of owning ones games, the better. Not to mention the juxtaposition of his other views from what I've been seeing from him adds to the absurdity of the concept of not keeping what you pay money for.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Despite the fact that limiting liability is exactly what the EULA does. You don't get to have it both ways, corpo scum!

 

As hinted at in the title, assuming the technology/means existed that could absorb energy fast enough, would it be possible to stop a star from going supernova, effectively "calming" it?

This is for a novel (not exactly a sci-fi one) but I'd like to keep in the realms of "technically possible".

Edit. Thank you to everyone for providing answers and specific thanks to @Solemn@lemmy.dbzer0.com @radix@lemmy.world and @Deestan@lemmy.world for the for the further reading/watching materials that have inspired a narrative solution that is kinda hand-wave-y but should be good enough to hold up to scrutiny until the moment someone with a PhD (or good enough knowledge) takes a closer look at a fictional word with a soft magic system and smashes the big ol' BS button which I think is about as much as fantasy novel writer can ask for.
