Cherry picking here but what use is this category when it lists the required size right on the store page?

It just makes it impossible to provide any nuance related to the elements of a review. It's not just important to say "audio is very good", but also what makes this audio very good. Everyone has a different idea of what good and bad means, rendering a bunch of biased multiple choice questions mostly useless for readers

It's a simpler game for sure. There were only 4 civilizations (Norse, Egyptian, Greek, Atlantian) and they were all very different from one another compared to AoE. Each civilization had multiple deities to choose from for some more specific buffs and abilities. Every type had unique mythical units as well, and these units are quite large so maps felt a bit smaller in comparison. Overall the maps were smaller than AoE anyway, but not in a bad way.

Then instead of stone there was favor, a resource like the rest (food, wood, gold), acquired by putting townies at your temple to pray. All in all it was pretty similar to AoE but it felt a lot less serious. I played a lot at LAN parties and we always had a blast though!

I'm curious, can you elaborate why you need this connector?

To answer your questions, those two USB A connectors are for power and data transfer, separately. But if you got a 3.5" drive, you're going to need that external 12V power supply anyway.

You can plug the data USB connector into the same PC to manage the files, but you can also put it in a different PC, so to transfer files between two devices quickly.

You can also use a power bank for the USB A power connector, but this will again only work with the 2.5" drives.

That template is part of the problem

Fucking finally. I love a funny joke but if you're looking for serious reviews, you currently have to wade through a sea of trolls, jokes and copy-pasted meme reviews in order to figure out if a game is interesting to you.

Community features are cool but if you're the most popular platform of your kind, you're gonna attract a lot of trolls who's content can be really out there. Filters are a good solution to this!

When they sue you for libel, they will have to prove that you knew you were lying and still went ahead with it, in order to damage or disparage the other party.

This goes the same for Trump: can you prove he knows he's lying?

Edit: in other, better words:

The legal definition of lying is that someone spread false information with knowledge that the information was false.

In general, a journalist cannot establish whether a person did or did not have prior knowledge, so we don't use the term. It keeps us from getting sued.

Because lying means the liar knows they are lying. Stating a falsehood means you don't have to have the intent of lying.

This comes down to libel. Journalists would like not to get sued because they think someone is lying instead of just claiming things they believe in, misguided as it is.

Stop expecting handouts with 0 effort especially when the answer is one tap away.
