Yes, and I think it serves as a microcosm of a lot of recurring ideas and themes that crop up again and again in the rest of the series.

Huh, interesting.

I’m intrigued, how did you post this on Mastodon and Lemmy simultaneously?

Actually, they seem to be launching into a new phase of compatibility, with a version 2 component set being discussed on their website that has much broader capabilities.

You seem to be attributing additional meaning to the word “forcing” in this context. It’s simply the act of inserting something where it doesn’t belong or doesn’t quite work, i.e. not forcing it upon the reader’s brain (or beaming it into their skull), but forcing it into the sentence. It’s the same construction that you would use when saying “forcing a square peg into a round hole”.

It’s not a character in the modern English alphabet and is only used nowadays in Icelandic, so I think “forcing” is totally appropriate.

Yep, you said forcing it “everywhere”, not forcing it on you, which I think is completely appropriate.

I turned both and felt the results from Ecosia weren’t as useful. I’ve been using Qwant for a few months now. Qwant also has the bonus of being one character away from Qwantz.com, one of my favourite websites.

And then suddenly ceased to exist.

I still haven’t played 2!

I’d also recommend The Talos Principle and The Turing Test for similar itch scratches.
