If they never did the whole 2 can win rule, you still get a powerful figurehead in Katniss, or Peeta if you think he’d actually kill her. The lack of blatant unfair behavior would hurt the resistance in recruitment though. The resistance might still succeed, but it would take even longer. The trauma of having to kill the other could also leave the survivor broken which would be bad for the resistance.

If they announced thev2 can live, but committed to taking it back, the double suicide would be a useful tool for the resistance. They wouldn’t have Katniss as a weapon, but her martyrdom would be almost as powerful. The key here is that a successful resistance would just be a different dictator.

It’s not that difficult. Plenty of sites manage to do just fine with text comments and still be light hearted. A big problem is lemmy seems to willfully misinterpret comments to the worse possible meaning.

Starcraft 2 was 2010, with the final expansion in 2015.

There’s several attempts to have a more traditional RTS coming soon/out. Stormgate and Beyond All Reason are the big two.

Jokes and sarcasm are not allowed on lemmy, people don’t like fun here. Only the posts can be shit, never the comments.

Unless an app is doing something weird, your blocks should be tied to the account and not the app.

It’s crazy that sc2 coop was essentially an after thought until it released and became the most played mode by a lot.

Alternatively Andy Serkis did an audio book for the hobbit and LoTR which are amazing.

A big help is that the game isn’t exclusively just pvp. Having coop and campaign being released as 1st class citizens alongside competitive 1v1 is a huge bonus.

Prosecutors are like cops more than they are different. They work with them day to day. They have the power to charge the bad ones with crimes, but they rarely do, and even then they often overcharge or put up a poor case so the cop goes free. They also overcharge people to force plea deals and avoid trials. This goes double for those who can’t afford bail and have to spend years in jail waiting for a trial. Prosecutors are every bit as bad and corrupt as the police.

In most states attorney generals have arresting privileges and are the top cop in the state. They would be responsible for arresting sheriffs or even a governor for crimes.

I’d settle for a paragraph of description.

As a software dev.
Client: we need feature by end of quarter.
Me: cool, what do you expect it to do, do you have any requirements?
Client: …

Yes, Rowling was pretty lazy about the edges of world building that weren’t directly related to her story.

It comes down to how powerful static wards are, and how much technology just gets corrupted by magic. The real power of the wizards is memory and time manipulation. Close range is definitely in favor of wizards, you can’t surprise them unless they are intentionally careless. They can always go back a few hours and ambush you back. Chaos would ensue if they deleted every memory before 5 of a handful of leaders.

The tech killing thing is poorly defined, but hogwarts seems to disable electronic devices within a radius. If it’s similar to an emp, it may have countermeasures, but it’s hard to say they also work on magic. Operating within the radius of somewhere like that would be difficult.

There’s also the animagus issue. Every dog, cat, bird, or bug is a potential spy or assassin that is practically undetectable.

The big question is can spells stop a large bomb/nuke. Even if they couldn’t, it would be possible for wizards to escape the blast zone pretty easily, unless they couldn’t detect the attack.

I think the big weakness would be sniper fire that may be fast enough to prevent reactions at the borders of wards.

Wizards win logistics, they can enchant a car to hold as much as a 747. They can teleport, fly, levitate, and banish things. Their biggest problem is raw numbers.

2-3 interviews are common in a lot of professional positions. It’s also common to have multiple parts to an interview. There’s also a handful of companies that do more than that have have awful interview practices. For IT specifically, there’s generally an HR/personality screen, tech screen, and actual interview.

Is the boys really woke or just anti maga? Or is woke now just anti maga?

It’s not that crazy. Modern game studios are monetization first and gameplay second, which isn’t going to work unless you luck into amazing gameplay.

It’s impossible to predict success, but it’s pretty easy to predict failure. Copycat games don’t work.

Kenobi ruined a lot of IV, and even some of III. Acolyte ruined Anakin in general, and also ruined the jedi order in general. Both have tons of cringe and nonsensical moments, both feature times where a single swing could end things but can’t because plot.
