    I'll have a beer with opposing supporters, work alongside them and generally be their friend. But if I'm in a stadium, they're my rival and I want them to be miserable. As I'm sure they would I.

    I hope you and that Highland bloke have a lovely time watching some other game that "matters." I shall be booing my own TV.

    Likewise. I’ll be booing at my iPad when GSTK plays.

    Is the combat in BG3 the same as DOS2?

    Eh…similar. Top down (kind of), turn based with a class system, it’s just BGS3 is far more extensive imo. A lot of folk who detract from BGS3 just say it’s DOS2 or Path of Exile with a lot of add-ons. Strange complaints since they are all great games. There are far more options in combat in BGS3.

    I also have Divinity Original Sin 2 to play through so will attempt that first. 

    I would recommend that, that is still a huge game (not as big as BGS3 mind) but it would get you familiar with the nature of BGS3.

    I think of all the developers left at that kind of tier, one of the safest you can probably bank on for delivering a good product is Rockstar.  I expect GTA6 will be very, very good and have a relatively high level of polish (admittedly by the really low bar most people other than Nintendo seem to manage).  I'm not sure I buy the expectation that it taking so long means it'll be a disappointment.  Games this big should take this long.  If it comes out and is polished and near faultless, then the cycle has done its job.  If it comes out and its Bethesda levels of buggy nonsense, then yeah, there'll be disappointment.  Can't see that happening though.

    What I can see them doing is allying it with a big money-printing machine like GTAO and completely undoing all the praise they get.  It always amazes me how the likes of EA get absolutely hammered for their predatory tactics, yet Rockstar continue to get an easier ride comparitively.  Some of their decisions with the online have been absolutely dreadful.

    That’s not strictly Rockstar’s fault; but their parent company Take2. They are the predators in terms of the microtransctionary hell of GTAO.

    That's what puts me off buying it tbh. There's no way I will ever finish it.

    You can bumrush the main story but it would really detract from the game. Maybe wait for it when it goes on sale.

    Too much of it can cause nicotine poisoning and displaying the sort of symptoms Derry Ali was talking about. I don't imagine that happening regularly to you is good for you.

    Nicotine poisoning was an effective way of assassinating folk back in the day as Nicotine was hard to detect in autopsies. The chemical compound was easier to gain access to also, just like cyanide; not so much anymore.
     

    For your average punter though, to poison yourself via nicotine you’d have to expose yourself directly to the pure chemical compound, ingest, or smoke a ridiculous amount of cigarettes. I will add though that certain folk are predisposed to sensitivity to nicotine, much like sensitivity to caffeine where it will have exaggerated effects compared to someone who isn’t sensitive. What Derry described wasn’t nicotine poisoning.

    It’s a vasoconstrictor so should be avoided if there’s heart or blood pressure issue. The more worrying bit in the disposables is the liquid’s all made in China with zero provenance as to what’s going in it. 

    Nicotine itself is actually being proven as a protector against Neurodegenerative diseases. Yes it's a vasoconstrictor so if you have blood circulation/heart issues, you should avoid it, but otherwise it's not harmful unless you swallow it directly in pure form. It's the shite that's packed in with cigarettes (100000000x times worse btw than vapes) and to a smaller extent vapes that cause the issues, not Nicotine. 

  8. Transferred it over to my external SSD and it runs much smoother. I have to set the resolution down to 1080p but can run it at medium and get a stable 50/60fps. Loading screens aren’t much of an issue now with my the SSD. I know some folk are skeptical but honestly if you have gamepass, give it a go.
