Good for them. We absolutely need to stand up to tossers like that.

As if this tool knows anything about creativity beyond being creative with numbers

Alright, I'll just buy another one... from a brand that isn't shit.

Even if specifically so it doesn't make it to their legal department.

Admittedly, me too. I wasn't as taken with Paralives to begin with but after the inZoi demo ran poorly on my rig, not an insubstantial rig, I'll add, it kinda put me off and I'm slightly worried about content. Paralives seems more the tried and true path of The Sims but minus the EA bullshittery.

I don't think it's inherently a "straight" issue to think the topic of sexuality can be out of place at times. I don't think the topic of sexuality should be taboo like it has been historically but, like many topics, I think there's a time and place for it. In my eye, the only time I need to know a person's orientation is when I find someone I wish to pursue something with since it's a key aspect of my chance of success. I believe what someone does and is into is a closed doors affair; it's their business, not mine. Plenty of times someone's sexuality is held above someone's head, quite literally in the case of this casual fishing game where I feel it doesn't even slightly belong. In these situations, I find myself made uncomfortable because the topic is very mismatched for the context. We're standing here fishing, so why are you bringing who you like to bang - or not, as the case may be - into the conversation?

And huh, would you look at that, I didn't bring my own orientation into the mix because it's not needed.

Life By You, though that one was showing a lot of red flags before it got cancelled. inZoi at least looks more promising.

They'll never stop us. That's just a circle jerk fantasy of the corpos. May the seas be fair, the wind breezy and the grog plentiful 🏴‍☠️

I think the initial stabbing is fine in regards of a self-defense reaction. The twist is excessive and, like someone has already said, the level of detail you've gone into specifically for the stabbing is more than a little odd. To me, it makes it sound like you enjoyed stabbing him more than you enjoyed surviving the assault. Definitely see a psychiatrist.

Admittedly, that's pretty good... but useless to families that live far from each. It's difficult for those families to not feel robbed while everyone else now gets an even better experience.

Of course it was quiet, who in their right mind would get hyped for something like that?

Wasn't all of KSP2's shortcomings due to corporate meddling though?

 

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.
