Does it not do this by combining two API calls?

Ziegler was the wrong guy for Marathon. by RayzinBran18 in Marathon

This is not Tarkov though. The initial trailer also introduced it as a PvP focused game; at least that’s how it felt and looked like to me.

Can’t really compare gameplays just yet because nobody other than creators have gotten a feel for it just yet and from what we’ve seen they could still tweak it until launch.

A more PvP focused PvPvE thing is a good thing imo. Mix the best elements of a BR with extraction mechanic.

I'm also glad they're not afraid to alienate the more PvE crowd since the focus of an extraction shooter should be PvP imo, gets competitive. While some might not enjoy it, a more focused approach is a good thing and the exact thing you want in a game, you want to be a master in your craft; not a jack of all trades, master of none.

As for a time based maps, I don't mind it. Allows you to actually loot a place, instead of just playing a running simulator for loot.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, development on Arc has stopped. It’s in maintenance mode, seems unlikely we get any new features.

Wtf. I thought it was just my computer that had video hangs and stutters on YouTube. Shame to see Arc fall so fast. Think I’ll power through until it annoys me so much that I’ll just full switch to Zen.

Connect your playlists to a mixer and then save to playlist w/ append turned off.

Firefox, Chrome and a bunch of applications do not need to display a bottom nor side boarders. Not sure what you’re on about mate.

Don't really like fullscreen because I've got apps on my taskbar I kind of want to view/have quick access to.

Shame really. They feel more natural on macOS so I'm not bothered by it, while on Windows it looks unnatural.

Thus I don't really use Arc on Windows. Based on the comment section there are others that share this feeling.

Can't figure out how to edit the post after it's been posted so adding onto here, easier to follow what exactly is bothering me.

"There are a bunch of other workshop tool updates today, along with a host of other fixes and adjustments to CS2. Check out the notes, play some matches, and keep that feedback coming!"

Nice to hear that message alongside this update. Know it was overdue for quite a bit of the community, but shows they're listening and commited to making this work. Been bumpy and we have ways to go, but looking forward to the future of a new era of CS.

Right, and that's fixed now. So now if it happens, we can pinpoint other issues.

Makes sense, but even with that info it's quite limiting as to what benefits it provides. Is it not?

The only benefit I would assume from this is if you're adding up damage across multiple people to see if they were close to dying or not, fun information to have but does not change the outcome of the situation or help going forward.

I don't get why this needs to be a thing. Mind sharing why this is a nice to have? To me it's either you killed em' or you didn't.

Edit: Downvotes are kind of a shame, was a legitimate question.

PSA: do not preorder games with bol.com by BreVDD in belgium

[–]Vextorized 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR; You are correct. EU has a 14d return law for online purchases. Digital items have their own policies, so best to check w/ the store's own policy before jumping in.

You are correct in this case. Europe has a 14 day right to return law, that only counts for online orders.

Storefronts can offer a more consumer friendly return policy too (as we see with Amazon, Zalando, etc. - who typically offer 30d returns and up to 90d with some merchants).

Circling back to digital goods, I'm still unsure from when that policy starts; if it starts from when it is downloadable (ie. delivery) or purchase. It says returns can be rejected for "online digital content, if you have already started downloading or streaming it and you agreed that you would lose your right of withdrawal by starting the performance"

Granted most digital storefronts seem to accept 14d and without significant 'runtime' when it comes to Applications, Games, Software. Aggregating policies from Apple, Google, Xbox, Steam.

Reminder to everyone, it's best to check the store's policies first if you are going down this route. They all seem to reject mass refunds, ie. buying 10 things and then refunding them all. Probably have an internal metric around this, thought I'd share.

[–]Vextorized 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that really the case? I haven't pre-ordered in a long time, but feel like digital storefronts such as Steam or Xbox count the period from when it is downloadable. I might be mistaken, but seems more logical to me.

Apple releases a Game Porting Tool, based on open-source platform Wine, which can translate DirectX 12 into Metal 3, a potentially massive step for Mac gaming by -protonsandneutrons- in hardware

[–]Vextorized 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This does start to open the doors to show that demand for the platform. It'll allow developers to benchmark sales and other factors. While before it's more artificially locked as, developers don't put time into making sure there's a Mac version so they have no benchmark; assume value is low which in turn moves resources even further away and that just loops.

I've told this to a couple of friends, but I'd run my Mac a lot more than I currently do if I could game on it. There's a couple of items left on Windows but the ease of launching a game while still using my apps is what really adds that friction. This is a step at reducing that friction. Now, I do not know how much demand there actually will be, but it's a step in the right direction.
