State crime under most circumstances. Federal murder generally requires that it happen somewhere directly administered by the federal government or that the victim be a member of the federal government, and that last one is still only sometimes.
My problem with the Forerunner stuff in Halo 4 is the same problem I have with all the aesthetic changes in 4 and 5 - it’s extremely busy. 1, 2, and 3 have a sleek and simple design language that makes it very easy to tell what’s happening in chaotic combat. The vibrant colors and shiny materials even give Halo 3 an almost heroic fantasy vibe. They deliberately went the other direction with Reach to enhance the grim tone of the game, but environments are still relatively simple so that enemies stand out. 4 and 5 put excessive lines and greeblies on absolutely everything. It’s all so packed with details that you sometimes lose enemies in the background and it can be difficult to tell what you’re looking at.
Nintendo is consistently terrible about not having solid launch titles.
I’ve also seen volume settings not kick in until you loaded a save file. Also, PS1 era Final Fantasy games that don’t acknowledge your button mappings until the save has been loaded, so that B is select and A is cancel on the main menu, but the other way in-game.
RPGs are absolutely terrible about giving you the ability to inflict status effects on enemies, but not giving random encounter enemies enough HP to justify inflicting statuses, and then also making the bosses immune to them.
There’s also the possibility that Vance invokes the 25th two years and one month into Trump’s term. He gets to be either the guy that saved America or the guy who made the tough choice for the good of the nation. Then he’s POTUS for nearly two years and can still be elected to two terms. If this is his plan, he’ll start sounding half-way reasonable in six months.
And the point I’m making is that only a handful of games are keys; the vast majority are still on the cart, same as the last system.
Games aren’t “games”, they’re download keys.
Generally agree with your post, but a large majority of games really are games. If they’re a download key, it’s very clearly labelled on the box.
Depending on the sword, a gallon of milk is between three and six times the weight of the sword.
I dunno. I look almost exactly like my mother’s father, so that would make things even weirder.
That’s how the Romans divided the world thousands of years ago and it stuck.
It’s not quite as bad as it looks. The lower image either has had the saturation reduced or was taken with a potato, and the upper image has had the saturation increased. The lower image has a gold car (parked by an asshole) and a a couple red cars, but the image quality makes them hard to notice.
The upper image still has a lot more variety, but it’s a bit misleading.
Er, no. A Linux program from five years ago probably won’t run on a current distro if it hasn’t been maintained in four years. A Windows program released twenty years ago and never patched has pretty good odds of running on Win10 without even needing to touch the compatibility tab.
Which they could clean up, but it would mean killing backwards compatibility, which is arguably the only selling point of Windows.
This isn’t even a hypothetical. There are countries, such as Russia, that actually do this.
I tend to look like a hippie that was forced to dress up for church and people definitely just assume I’ll agree with their racist bullshit because I’m white.
And Twilight was a Harry Potter fanfic with the serial numbers filed off, weirdly enough.
The Orthodox Church is equally the oldest (extant) denomination as the Catholic Church and they’re not as literal on this topic.
I still think it’s weird that that’s the part Catholics go with literalism on. They usually go with things being metaphors, like the seven day creation story’s bit about ‘let the earth bring forth’ being a reference to evolution, but this thing, specifically, is literal.
Vista was good eventually, but certainly not on launch. It launched with absurdly aggressive popups about for User Account Control and backwards compatibility was somewhat spotty, largely due to the security changes. By the end, though, it was actually really solid, to the point that Win7 essentially launched as Vista Service Pack 2 with a new taskbar skin.
