Yes, but it would be an effort that does not come down to any strength, machinery, physics or logic, because in his universe the Narrative Force is infintitely stronger than any natural laws.

And the hammer is ruled by a strong narrative: Thor’s storyline.

So he would have to create a compellig narrative where he moves the hammer in a way that makes an interesting Thor story.

He can’t just move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself, but he could move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself if it could be explained in a cool way and gives Thor a great struggle to overcome, causes tension to test his relationship to Odin, or moves his character arc.

Brian Bilston is a treasure.

Who wants to play minecraft my server is at 10.0.0.7

DragonBox have been excellent. Been a few years and ownership changes since I looked at their games, so hopefully they haven’t enshittened.

Different site admins.

Depending on which mods you allow, which sitewide rules you set, and not least how you applu or not apply the rules, you get wildly different instances.

A few others also. Like memes. https://lemmy.world/post/19190223

Any part of any discussion that verges into criticizing Russia or China gets removed by either mods or passing site admins.

Any comment that is anti-the-West gets a pass no matter how uncivil, inflamatory or dishonest it is.

Thanks for answering! I was afraid it would be taken as sarcasm but I genuinely wanted to know.

Keeping predatory grifters away from health discourse is on a different level than discussions of differing opinions.

If you were to give an estimate: How many of the people fundamentally disagreeing with you online are rational and honest people, and how many are US federal agents or in their employ? Percentage-wise.

Skyrim is ported to RealityV3. It is still buggy. Hackers have successfully run Doom on a hydrogen atom. Gamers are shitting and yelling that someone put a Martian as a playable character in Red Dead Redemption MCMVII.

It’s like a strawman made from artificial grass.

It’s a shit voting system. But the election is happening. How to effect a mass general strike large enough to change the voting system and introduce a new candidate with a chance of winning within two months?

Because that is needed in order to safely tell people not to vote.

In real, actionable, practical terms: What is the alternative you propose people choose, that will reduce the likelyhood of a fascist government right now at this election?

That is a valid question in isolation, but bringing it up in discussions on where to vote is not leading to discussions or actionable improvements. It only functions to push voter disenfrachisement.

Not saying it’s your intention, but it is your effect.

Voting least bad is important. Don’t discourage it.

Working for better voting options is also important. Do push for that too, but find a constructive setting for it.

The laws of captialism entropy:

Any organization that sees success will attract profit-driven leadership, and will become such over time. The soul from the original founders will be watered down, dampened, or ejected.

A profit-driven organization will over time become more and more profit-seeking, never less. Once this reaches a certain threshold, we start to use phrases like “enshittification”. Valve hasn’t gone shit yet imho, but their soul and passion doesn’t seem to lie in games anymore.

The next excellent product comes from new, growing organizations or small teams that may grow into such.

It is best to just treat it as any other law of nature and so we move on from Blizzard, Google, EA, Valve, Epic Games, Unity, etc and go swim in the wonderful vibrant indie scene.

It’s playable and you can enjoy the game, but 30FPS is embarrassing. It makes me feel like I’m a kid playing on a PC assembled out of old leftover components. Which was tolerable when I was a cashless kid playing pirated games on inherited frankenPCs, but it feels so wrong when playing a bought game on its intended spec hardware.

Been playing it a few hours. So far the tactical part feels very similar to Fights in Tight Spaces but more forgiving. Puzzly, lots of interactions with environment.

The writing is really well done and the humor and tone are wonderful in the way only brits can do it.

There is something about an out-of-work elite strike team having to rely on public transport and using the lead wizard’s mom’s apartment for HQ while they are still taking everything seriously.
