Whenever I start it up after being shut down, the screen flickers.
However, if I immediately restart, it stops.
Google says it's outdated drives, but my drives are supposedly up to date.

I rarely buy games unless it's something I'm super interested in. I usually play free games or if I do buy, it's usually on console. I also rarely ever play games on PC.
However, I've watched quite a few gameplays and it seems like a lot of fun. I'd probably have fun with it.
Is it worth paying the $20 or does it get stale after a while?
I know there were "Road to" movies with Bing Crosby that El Dorado is inspired by, but SLIH is one of my all time favorite comedies and it's really hard to not see the connections in plots. It's like how Doc Hollywood and Cars are super similar.
The leads are two men (best friends who always bicker) down on their luck doing what they can to get by. Usually finding themselves in sticky situations with their bad luck (such as betting on horses or gambling with loaded die). The two duos find themselves on the run from a dangerous villain and escape to a distant place (El Dorado and Florida). In order to maintain their cover they have to lie about their identities and maintain the lie for the rest of the film. One is pushing the idea and the other is reluctant and has to be talked into it. The two duos befriend a woman there, with blatant sex appeal, who's in a bind herself and the men help cover for her (for stealing gold or smuggling liquor during Prohibition). Both women are grateful and befriend them in the process. One of the men is immediately attracted to her, but the other tries to nip it in the bud and makes the other promise to not get involved. Ironically, the one who said that is the one to actually catch feels and gets involved anyway. Even seemingly throwing his friend under the bus to be with her, causing tension between the duo. Eventually the villain they were running from shows up at that same location. Of course they get found out by someone (but not everyone) and narrowly escape with their lives. They leave the place forever with the girl going with them.
There are plenty of differences too, obviously, but man are they similar.
Where there's magically a happy ending with no explanation whatsoever.
I'm not talking about where there's a curse and the cure was written into the curse (so the TLK in the classic movies or Brave doesn't count). Not where there's actual in world reason for it like Tangled. Frozen 2 and Moana 2 I didn't follow very well but I'm sure those miracle endings made sense within the world they tried to establish. I'm also not talking about luck where it was fakeout.
In my two examples though (Lilo and Stitch 2 and Wall-E), there is not plausible explanation whatsoever for the miracles other than... the power of love. That's basically it, and the movie just wants us to roll with it cause it's a Disney movie.
Where do you stand on that? Do you just buy into the Disney happy ending and move on or does the insult to your intelligence still bug you?
While no one except Jor-El and Lara (Kara might, but it never came up) knows his real birthday, I don't even think Kryptonians used the Gregorian calendar, in this show Clark celebrates his birthday on May 3rd. Which coincidentally happens to be mine as well.
Superman's official birthday outside of this show is in February and the meteor shower was in October (which you'd think they'd pick, but maybe they didn't want to remind him of what a painful day it was for the town on a happy occasion), but my headcanon is they picked May 3rd cause that was the day when the phony adoption process became official. While not technically the anniversary of his birth, May 3rd is his birthday and that's cool enough for me.
Happy Birthday to us.
I posted this years ago on a different Barbie movie sub that isn't really active anymore. So I thought I'd share it here.
I was watching the Princess and the Pauper and a thought crossed my mind: could Annaliese's mother, Genevieve possibly be the same Genevieve from the 12 Dancing Princesses? Some of you may be asking "well other than sharing a name, what do these two characters have to do with each other?" Well since Queen Genevieve could pass for an older version of Princess Genevieve, it would be very possible for her to have a daughter who looks just like her. Her late husband is never named and if he was Derek from 12DP then he would be merely king consort and it would make sense why Annaliese didn't ascend to the throne after his death if she's only royal through her mother who is still living and she was unmarried. I know King consorts aren't really a thing in real life, but this is a fictional world where we can suspend gender roles a little bit. The movie already doesn't follow real life royalty rules with Annaliese still being a princess and Preminger wanting to marry the queen to be a king, so clearly in this world marriage is enough to hold the title. Now let me address a couple of holes in this theory. 1) the castle is different. Well there's a simple explanation for that... King Randolph had TWELVE heirs! And Genevieve wasn't even the eldest, so if she and Derek stood any chance of ruling they would need to move into their own kingdom (which would make it even less surprising that it wound up bankrupt). 2) Queen Genevieve and Princess Genevieve's accents are different. Well when have accents ever been accurate or consistent in these films? 3) Considering Princess Genevieve's character arc of seeing through her evil cousin's plan to take over the kingdom, it doesn't really make sense as to why she wouldn't see through Preminger's. Well, for one, Preminger wasnt really scheming AROUND the queen as much as Roweena was around King Randolph. I mean she was literally scheming in front of his face, he was just too sick to notice. Preminger on the other hand was AWAY from the kingdom when he was doing all his shady stuff (they even said Preminger had been away for a long time) so it would've been slightly less noticeable AND you could also argue for senescence catching up to her. There's also the interesting detail of Queen Genevieve's crown being eerily similar to Rapunzel's mother's but that's another theory for another time. What do you guys think? Are you convinced?
