I had this problem for awhile, eventually I said enough and turned off shader pre-caching. Never noticed a difference in performance.

The suffix -misia meana hatred. Both -misia and -phobia come from Greek.

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 got a PinePhone Pro to mess around / have fun with. I couldn't get any phone features to work (calling/texting). It's fun to install software on any low-power machine and see what works. But it's a long way to go for a true Android replacement.

Cool place to ask and/or answer questions, although I haven't been there in a long time.

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.
