Does this include mobile games and especially gamefied gambling like candy crush etc because that I can believe.


Dave the diver is currently on sale on steam. Is it worth picking up?


I didn’t play the first one. Though I started playing this last night on game pass knowing nothing about it.

It’s intense, beautiful, intriguing and I’m looking forward to playing more.

The game itself is more of a story that you sometimes sword fight in. Exceptionally linear, which to me is a refreshing change from the abundance of open world titles available at the moment. The story is interesting, though I’m starting to think I should play through the first one first, there is a recap at the beginning so I feel I’m up to speed on what’s happened. The combat is fun, and very cinematic, it feels like every interaction has been coded separately.

Overall it’s a solid 8/10 if you are a fan of narrative story games it’s worth a look, though as mentioned I’d be tempted to start at the beginning, there isn’t much hand holding through the features which I imagine is explained more in the first game.


I think you live in a fantasy world fella. Also server monitoring isn’t done by Google, it’s don’t by another 3rd party company.


Same way companies know they’ve been hacked. I’m making the assumption you’re non technical, given the question. But there are many ways such as access logs, server monitoring etc


If they lied about this and are accessing very confidential information I think my company would sue the giblets off Google.

You need to remember we are talking about Google Cloud, the enterprise services they offer and not Gmail and search engines.


Me too as a programmer that uses Google cloud to store government information. Which bit of the policy says they are going to access your data, shouldn’t take you long to link it to me if you read them as much as you say. Unless what you’re actually doing is spreading misinformation and bullshit.


Are you sure you’ve not just read bad stuff without verification on the internet and feel the need to chime in on something you don’t fully understand?


Awuh, does somebody keep losing? It’s ok champ, you’ll get em eventually


I have used them, mainly FPS games. I also have built in functionality to change my mouse sensitivity in my mouse. There’s a “sniper mode” button as well that will change the sensitivity whilst the button is pressed to allow me to be more precise (not that I use that as I don’t play many games like that)

I used the separate x and y options when I was using a tracker ball once. It went slower vertical than it did horizontally so being able to change them individually was a huge help.

Other people that might make use of this feature (and perhaps even render a game unplayable without it) is disabled people, I don’t have experience here, but it’s not hard to imagine use cases, poor hand mobility, limited reach etc.


Want to hijack your comment to tell people that might not know about the tale of two wastelands mod which combines 3 and nv into one fun game and does so really well. You need to own a copy of both.

I’ve been playing through it, just about finished up in fo3 and about to head over to nv.


I’m currently playing through it, just reached the underdark. I have to say it really is the best D&D style game I’ve ever played. They really handle a lot of the mechanics very well. I’ve been glued to it (15hrs playtime at time of posting)

I’m also playing it on a controller via steamlink (and even though steam link has a lot of issues) the controller support is next level for such a complex ui, there are a lot of options and it gives you a completely different UI on controller than it does on keyboard and mouse. The keyboard option is much easier, as to be expected, but the fact I can seamlessly play it at my desk and lounging on the couch is really a blessing I didn’t expect for this style RPG.

The story is, so far, fantastic. It has a lot of the divinity feel, though it is all voice acted. The companions are fun and compelling I can’t wait to unravel each of their stories. The main story is just delightful and twisted. The gameplay and combat is very D&D 5e and is super fun, though it’s very much divinity combat V3 and both divinity games I’ve played excelled here.

Finally and one of my favourite features. I paid £50 on steam for the game (most AAA titles are closer to £60) and there’s no in game store, no mechanics making me spend more on the game, I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything without opening my wallet, it’s refreshing. I’ve not checked yet, but divinity has mods adding classes and even content for future playthroughs I’m really hoping this is the same and the community add to the game for when I decide to play it a second and maybe even third time.

All in all I would very much recommend this game, even if you’re not a d&d player, you don’t really have to understand all the mechanics to play, just read options as you level your characters and pick what sounds the most appealing to you. There is the option to respec your toons as you play though it costs in game gold, which isn’t hard to come by.


I think he was found not guilty for something to do with domestic abuse. But don’t take my word on this is from memory and my memory is not to be trusted
