And I can't beat knowledge into the unreceptive, ignorant and assumptive, so I guess we're at an impasse.

We'll keep wondering cause the shift to digital clearly isn't stopping piracy.

Sorry but it really is. Basic language (a)theism is the antithesis to theism, meaning non-belief. Otherwise, that's what we have "agnostic" for. Like I said, correct yourself before someone who's got more of a clue.

Sounds like you need to look it up too.

I'd say YoFrodo's answer of apatheism is possibly the closest you're going to get, but speaking in general terms of not believing or caring one way or the other, you'd be agnostic, not an atheist. Atheism is the belief that there are no gods and out right rejection in the belief of any gods. Those saying you're atheist don't know what one is.

It's really the honourable thing to do.

I've been playing it post malware removal and it plays well. Fairly certain it was still buggy until then though.

Let's see if they can somehow manage to make it even more of a performance train wreck than the last one.

Well damn. Someone's just been added to the watch list.

Bad expectations and probably a lack of understanding of how launching expensive games as platform exclusives can hurt sales numbers. They were likely expecting the kind of numbers a game can only get from launching on the big 3.

My regards to Sony, the pricing makes it easier to not even consider buying one.

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.
