It would! It is speculated that the supernova would be at its brightest for several weeks to a few months. It would appear as a star with the brightness of the Moon concentrated into a single point. We would see it during the day for several months to a year afterwards and we’d see it at night for a few years afterwards until it faded.

This is so disturbing. Like other times where this kind of thing has happened in the past, it will probably cause an exodus of scientists (at least, the few that CAN escape) that will benefit other countries and cause a loss in scientific power in Russia in the next generation.

I am particularly concerned that among all this highlighting of the sponsorship rules, nobody is talking about the new rule taking multi-streaming away from all users. That is a big deal for smaller streamers who are trying to find audiences and expand, and it seems like there is no pushback on this point and no intended change to the policy.

It seems like such an obvious quality of life improvement to introduce a difficulty-like mechanic that asks the user if they are familiar with the series. That way, there could be two tracks to the start of the game: the standard hold-your-hand tutorial for newbies and children, and the streamlined version that skips a lot of the dialogue that explains what pokeballs are or whatnot. While I thought Scarlet/Violet wasn’t the worst offender of some of the recent series, this series HAS been going for decades now and I’d like to see them reflect this in their intended audiences. There is a large child fanbase but there is also a large amount of adults who play after having grown up with the games.
