The monitor has to send some data to the computer to tell it what screen resolutions it accepts. VGA, HDMI, and DisplayPort will all do that for sure. Less certain about component, composite, and S-Video.

Fuck yes. A slave that takes on the slave owning Templar? Sign me up all day, I want to run into a confederate camp and crush them.
Freedom Cry, the standalone expansion for Black Flag, was essentially this concept in the Carribean. You play as Adewale, a slave turned pirate turned Assassin, and liberate plantations.

More seriously, some people just like older people better. Their interests or personality may make it harder to jibe with people in their own age group, but mesh well with people in another age group. Sometimes they’re ahead of the curve on mental maturity and their peers won’t catch up for a few more years, sometimes they just think they’re more mature than they really are, and sometimes they really would have fit in better if they had been born a couple decades earlier.
Personally, when I was younger, I had a hard time relating to anyone around my age and generally fit in better in conversations with people my parents’ age. As a preteen in the early 2000s, I was reading things like Dune, watching things like Blade Runner, and my music tastes included the Rat Pack. The things the adults talked about were just more my speed. This got to be less and less of a problem as I got older and my current friend group is actually a few years younger than me on average, though I do still have the occasional ‘faux old man’ moments with them.

I love VTMB, but the gameplay was never the highlight, it was always the writing. If the story and characters are well written and it ties into VTMB1 somehow, I’ll consider the title justified. The writing is a pretty high bar, though.

Beginning of internet memes? Maybe. I’d have to look up when that happened. Beginning of memes as a whole? That would be off by several thousand years at a minimum, just going by ones archaeologists have already found.

Really, the problem is labeling that axis law-chaos in the first place when it’s really order-chaos. We’re pretty much stuck with it now, though.

2 and 3 do the same diagnostic routine, and Reach asks you to look at a building in the distance.

You made a comment that is typically meant with complete seriousness without any indication you were joking. PETA, for example, has an entire anti-Pokemon campaign built on the premise that Pokemon is animal cruelty.

Microsoft, Sony, EA, Activision, or Square Enix would be my guess.

Only for backwards compatibility titles. PS5 titles have to be run off of either the integrated storage or an M.2 SSD.

Not sure if this is what they’re talking about, but they made an ARG called Tender as part of the early VTMB2 promotion stuff. You had to do stuff within a fake dating app called Tender that was made in-universe to help vampires find feeding targets.

Can actually be done without any inbreeding. For instance, if a man has children with two women who are sisters, the children would be paternal half-siblings and maternal cousins. Used to be fairly common when arranged marriages and dying in childbirth were normal. Wife died, but the marriage ties are important so you marry her sister.

Chocolate isn’t sweet, it’s bitter. You have to add a lot of sugar to get the sweet chocolate we’re familiar with. The Mayan and Aztec versions of hot chocolate were more like a spicy coffee than the sweet drink we have now.

While the 5090 will run the latest games great, it will struggle with many older games due to the RTX 50 series having dropped 32-bit PhysX support. RTX 40 series cards are nearly as powerful and have 32-bit PhysX, if backwards compatibility is a concern.

Anything with a cohesive narrative would have been better than the sequel trilogy, including Dark Empire. Hell, Abrams did Dark Empire anyway, he just compressed it into a single film along with ESB and ROTJ because he’s never had a single original idea about Star Wars.

Another weird thing is anti-loitering devices hurt my ears, and those aren’t supposed to affect people older than 20.
That assumes that your hearing is damaged at the average rate. Don’t blast your music or TV and wear hearing protection when using a lawnmower or other loud device and you can keep hearing those high pitched sounds into your thirties.
