I wish my laptop could replace my smartphone. Only reason I have one is those pesky things that need an Android or IOS device.

That said, only once. I don’t watch the credits on subsequent playthroughs

Yes, watching the end credits gives me a sense of accomplishment and I enjoy the things creators put in there

The difference between "civilized" and "uncivilized" countries is that "civilized" countries call their terrorists "counter-terrorists" and "civilized" countries are allowed to bomb "uncivilized" countries in the name of civility.

Back in his day, yes. In modern greek it is sisero and in modern latin it is Chichero. Similarly, in Julius Caesar's day, his name would have been pronounced Kai-zar and in modern latin and italian, it is Chai-zar.

Cent as sent + taur as tor. We pronounce most greek c's as s in english as is cicero or cent being pronounced with an s sound instead of a k sound. Tor is the same as in taurus. Mine is not the only correct pronunciation, my explanation is just the justification for my specific pronunciation
