Accepting guests?

I think the top one that comes to mind is Days Gone. I can't help but feel like we've played completely different games when seeing reviews for it from the likes of IGN, for example.

Precisely. And I'd argue that secondhand smoke and its effects already applies as not caring about others or the general environment.

Because it generally takes a certain type of person to smoke and there happens to be quite a lot of overlap with the type of person who's fine with littering.

It does. I'd like to send a screenshot of them but I can't for sECuriTy PoLiCy reasons, so the skinny is encrypted, plain text and plain HTML.

Generally, I'd recommend having different services for everything anyway just for situations like this where if one's bad, you don't have to change everything else. Pick what services you really need the premium for and find free tiers that match your needs on others. For VPN, I still use PIA since their reputation is still holding up. I know you said you don't want to hear it but Bitwarden for password manager and for the rare time I need cloud storage, I use Mega since they offer 20GB on their free tier. Oh, and Disroot for email bit that doesn’t have everything you're looking for so I can't recommend it even if it's been great for my use case.

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 @[email protected] @[email protected] and @[email protected] 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.
