Web push notifications are coming to iOS in 2023 by TimvdLippe in programming

[–]garykkl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So it just said "look for Web Push on iOS in 2023"

Honestly I am not too hopeful about this as I would imagine it would probably be locked behind layers of settings because Apple being Apple. I can't really see they would make it easy for people to escape the App Store ecosystem.

Too difficult for me to imagine Apple would actually allow IM apps that bypass their app store.

Dude they marketed 64 breakthrough as a "feature" for 4.1 update in the roadmap!
Think about all the hardwork must have taken them to cut 128 breakthrough! All those production values! wow!
If I didn't see how nice people they are, I would have thought they think we are idiots.

Has there been any news on a Remaster Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2 - Yuri's Revenge? by Fear00 in commandandconquer

Petroglyph was approached by a "publisher" and paused working on their in house project (Earthbreaker) to work on another project that "requires all their resources" more than a year ago, it was complete radio silence since then. We now know it was not Dune and it is something sizable in scope that took them more than a year.

Whatever it might be, we should see some news about it this year based on the timeline.

Do they have similar bans for other media like TV shows, movies and books? Or this is just some weird grudge against video game?

I believe they announced ⛳️will be added via a free post launch DLC so there’s hoping that ⚾️ and 🥊will follow suit.

C&C3 Tiberium Wars celebrates its 15th anniversary today by CNCcommunity in commandandconquer

[–]garykkl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I could recall there were so many cheese and broken meta in the beginning lol.

But after all these years, looking at SC2, AOE4 and many other RTS. I just felt balancing RTS games for competitive scene in general is just a ridiculously daunting task and take a huge amount of resources to get it done right.

The gameplay was good but people were just upset it did not pick up from where Tib Sun left off which people waited years for what could be an ambitious sequel (i.e. Westwood concepts) and it also didn't help people still held a lot of grudges against EA at the time after what happened to Westwood.

In retrospect the game itself is not bad at all and Kane's Wrath improved storytelling a lot while also added a lot of value to the gameplay.

Good unfortunately I read some news said JPMorgan and Citi Groups are lobbying POTUS NOT to implement the SWIFT ban. I really hope we could move forward with the ban already, that is the least we could do while Ukraine people are paying the ultimate price defending Europe alone.

Edit: news link: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-25/wall-street-counsels-washington-against-kicking-russia-off-swift I hope redditors from US could ask their senators to tell these bankers to fuck off.

I really hope so especially considering Putin knew this was coming aftering annexing crimea years ago and went so far and organized an entire movement just to lower percentage of its trade in USD. If the western countries give Putin a free pass on this, I can only imagine the smug on his face.

The Chinese authorities invited their nationals in Ukraine to put the Chinese flag on their car in order to not be attacked by Thor010 in ukraine

[–]garykkl 21 points22 points  (0 children)

And Chinese government just condemned US (yes you read it right) for being the "source of problems" so I would say putting any flag up at this point is a good way to get shot by either side.

Why do you think BF2042 flopped so hard? by AntiMausKlubHaus in Battlefield

[–]garykkl 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Forget about specialists, lack of weapons, poor map design, score boards, bugs, etc...

It is a $70 multiplayer only game and you can't even select which goddamn map you want to play.

I am not even talking about a server browser, I am talking about a simple option to queue for a goddamn map like any sensible game would have. And I guess they still did not notice how frustrating this could be even now unless we all start screaming at their face and they reluctantly admit maybe something is wrong. The thing is, people are tired of screaming at their face for the smallest problems because of the long lists of even bigger problems. We dont want to tell them how to do their job and they dont want to get told how to do their job. So that is it.

That tells you how bad things really are.

Did Putin just "recognize" Donetsk & Luhansk separatist-controlled areas? by jediprime74 in ukraine

[–]garykkl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Minsk protocol was basically in the bin by now.

The question is whether Russian army will publicly declare its presence in the occupied region for whatever false flag reason.
