"I figured out way back if God is all-powerful, He cannot be all good. And if He is all good, then He cannot be all-powerful." - Lex Luthor, Batman V Superman
Well, I have freckles all over the place, so my pattern was chosen already.
Because if you have a Kroger's card you're going to want to shop there more often to get the free stuff. You're not paranoid, it is a psychological tactic to get you to spend more money. Casinos do similar things.
I've had good experiences launching games from Epic on the Heroic Games Launcher. Most games that don't have extreme anti-cheats should just work. If compatibility is an issue, you can install Linux as a dual-boot option, so you could switch to Windows for certain games.
The Brain Age series on Nintendo DS was based on the work of Dr. Ryuta Kawashima; the games are designed to activate the player's prefontal cortex to improve brain functions.
I'm sad every time I find a well-made video, want to subscribe, then discover the video is two years old and the channel never uploaded anything else.
I had this problem for awhile, eventually I said enough and turned off shader pre-caching. Never noticed a difference in performance.
If he really doesn't know about Vader's reveal in Empire, then you must watch the OT first, because the prequels will spoil one of the best plot twists in film history. Otherwise, watching the prequels first is fine.
But please do not watch the shitquels under any circumstances.
I would argue otherwise. To plagiarize is to use someone else's work without credit to make it look like one's own work. Re-using your own work doesn't fit the definition of plagiarism.
What I did was still wrong, I'll admit that.
I had an English essay assignment senior year of high school that I didn't want to do. I looked through my old essays (never used to delete things) and found one that was almost the same prompt, so I thought "screw it" and changed the date/class name and submitted that. I didn't give much thought to it, but every teacher used the same essay plagiarism checker, and my essay got flagged as being previously turned in. The teacher pulled me aside in class and gave me a lecture about plagiarism and why I can't submit other people's work, so I told her to check the name on the original essay because it was mine. Once she realized I had "plagiarized" myself, she let it go but told me I had to redo the assignment anyway because I "can't re-submit old work".
Ratchet and Clank had at least three good games on the PS3, and Rift Apart definitely counts as a modern game. I wish Insomniac (and other game devs) woul devote more resources to making hybrid shooter/platformers, but the devs who made those great PS2 games are being replaced by newer devs who want to make different things. Also publishers want to cash in on big money-making trends like live service games.
Probably The Lord of the Rings. I read the entire thing almost ten years ago, and only remember bits and pieces. It's so long that I could definitely read it multiple times and still learn new information every time I read it.
