My thoughts so far : there are three classes and five games, so I can try them all. Later games have more classes, but they seem to be variations of the three base ones. The shaper is the most unique class : there are many other games where I can play a fighter or a wizard, but this is the only series with shapers. So I plan on playing guardian and agent only once. The first game has less spells and creations, so that's probably the one where I should play a guardian.
I want to thank everyone for reading my Organic Architecture Series! I realize this was a long series with lots of posts. The following are the links to all the different articles. Feel free to bookmark this page for easy reference!
Can I make my whole series on Tapas Free for everyone to read? I do not intend to make money from this as I want to create something out of the joy of creating it as this is a project for me and if others enjoy it. Then awesome. If not I will not be upset as I will be proud of it.
The first synthesis of the whole antiostatin family is described by using an iron-mediated carbazole synthesis, regioselective nitration at C-4 and establishing 5-isobutyl-1-nitrobiuret as a reagent for introduction of the antiostatin B side chain at C-4.
So the three endings make sense, if you really think about it. You could destroy the reapers, which would allow civilizations to repeat the same mistakes of creating synthetics that destroy them. You could synthesize, which is the whole point of the reapers to begin with, merging organic and synthetic life into one. The control ending is mostly to give the reapers a new consciousness, you taking the place of the catalyst.
Oneof the first things that became very clear to me as I read Aquinas was thatwith respect to the whole issue of apologetics and the proofs for the existenceof God, he does not agree with Augustine, Anselm, and many other Christiantheologians who preceded him. Theyasserted (what Thomas denies) that the existence of God is self-evident ornaturally implanted in man. This isevident in his whole approach to the subject. Here is his description of the arguments of those who say that theexistence of God is self-evident in Summa Theologica Question 2, Article2. (Note that Aquinas is presentingviews he rejects!)
[5] Now, among the inquiries that we must undertake concerning God in Himself, we must set down in the beginning that whereby His Existence is demonstrated, as the necessary foundation of the whole work. For, if we do not demonstrate that God exists, all consideration of divine things is necessarily suppressed. [27]
So, during the utter madness that was my first Three Houses playthrough, I started thinking about the fact that I hadn't actually played every game in my favorite video game series of all time. And then I thought about the project I recently wrapped up, where I marathoned and ranked every igavania in the leadup to Bloodstained, and it got me to thinking that it might be fun to do that for Fire Emblem, in chronological order.
I'm pretty steadfastly in the "veteran" camp. Though I wasn't one of those few who knew about the series before Melee, I have bought, played, and beaten every single game that ever made it to the states ever since getting Fire Emblem 7 for the GBA in middle school, and I've gone back and beaten a few of the Japanse-only ones too. When I was younger, while I always had enough patience to go through the games that had classic modes, I will confess that I abused the hell out of save states when I played through the Japanese-only ones on emulators. Back then, I'm not sure if I even really paid attention to stats that much. I know I didn't when I played 7 and 8. I just used whatever units I liked the animations of, assumed that the units you get earlier and/or at lower levels had better growth rates than the prepromotes, and just generally played like a child, like children do.
I kind of had a falling out with the series in college when my attempt to play through a few games again gave me a ridiculously long streak of terrible growth rates for characters I liked, which caused me to be paranoid of and hate randomized growths for years. I didn't get back into the series until Awakening, which I got a few years late when I finally picked up the 3DS, and had a lot of fun with that game, though it did eventually kill my enthusiasm for video game grinding... basically forever, after my third apotheosis file.
It wasn't until Fates, when I did an ambitious (unfortunately too ambitious for me to complete at time of writing since I wrote myself into a nasty corner) project to ironman all three routes while writing a let's play in the form of an eccentric avatar's diary, that I really, really started thinking strategically about these games. That experience was an exciting, eye-opening, and tremendously fun adventure that, though I still haven't finished the writeup and don't know if I'll ever be able to, forever changed my perspective about Fire Emblem games and their design, and I've looked at every single game in the series at least a little differently since then.

That's a difficult question. The English hard mode gets rid of battle saves, but it also gets rid of a lot of convenience features and intentionally cripples the interface to make the game harder, and I'm not sure if it's fair to mark down the game as a whole in the "usability" section for what that mode does to it.
Fascinating. However, given that explanation I don't think it's fair to touch it then, as I can't really judge it as a complete experience as it was meant to be played. I'd be judging a shell against wholes.
How on earth do they manage to wear suits in Miami Vice? the temperature must have been absolutely boiling hot to wear a suit or some of the clothes Sonny wears, or Castillo or the DEA, a lot of people who wore suits, and Tubbs! I mean, sometimes they look like they're absolutely sweating, especially Tubbs in Milk Run, was Miami actually like that back then? they had to wear suits although the temperature was boiling? I remember seeing an image of Crockett wearing a trench-coat that he never wore in the series, how boiling do you think he would of been if he actually wore that? how did they manage it? I mean here in the UK when it's 90 degree's in the summer and people wear suits, I think they must be absolutely boiling inside, I can only badly imagine how it was in Miami.
The first is that the EPG series information seems incomplete for the HD channels. If I want to set series links for BBC on Sunday evening's schedule, the options for the programmes are all available for the SD programmes - but for the corresponding programmes on HD, the "Record Whole Series" option does not appear. These links are missing on myhumax.net, the Live TV app and the 5000T itself. So I can only conclude that it's Humax' EPG series information that's missing or defective. If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do to recover it, is there?
When searching the forum about this subject, I came across a recent thread suggesting that linked series, even if set, sometimes get deleted. I'm starting to think that I just need to send this back. But am I being unduly pessimistic: is this box reliable once I get these two questions resolved?

I've just bought a 5000T hoping to replace Virgin's Tivo box. But the first few days have already thrown up some concerns.

The second is that there seems to be no simple way to search for a programme on the Live TV app other than by going through the guide. I can't simply search by programme name, like I can with Virgin's app. I know I can search by name on the website, but it's the Android app that I would like to use, since using the website on my phone is possible but awkward. Am I missing something?

Thanks for any advice and help.
