    I love that Harambe is a meme

    I hilarious seeing something so widespread and popular on the Internet that companies can't appropriate for profit

    there's no way you could have Brands Saying Harambae

    Since coming back to wow, I have found that it is the current popular meme in general chat, and yep, that is about the appropriate quality.

    It's fun to say.

    Like Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker

    man that game dev tumblr person is really full of themselves

    are they? it strikes me more as someone weary after years of being exposed to game communities for mmos and the like knowing that most players don't know what the fuck they want or even if they did, they want something that would be bad for them, and having to answer questions along the vein "why don't you do this" again and again

    They think chat is a non trivial thing to implement.

    I mean yes to a layperson, it is highly complex.

    As a developer, you should be able to do it with your fucking eyes closed in 2016.

    Hell, why even reinvent the wheel? Use something like IRC (a lot of MMOs did this actually).

    They put a lot of emphasis on needing to be more secure than normal programs, but.. that's just hand waiving tbh.

    that's only true in a trivial game with a single server

    if your game is scattered across dozens of db and app clusters around the world and they all need to be the same chat it's very hard.

    I suppose, but it has nothing to do with security and item duping. But MMOs don't really need that kind of leverage today.

    WoW has it because it's leveraging way older paradigms.

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaah

    so many things wrong with the math here

    1) a limit can never equal infinity. If a limit approaches infinity (technically: diverges) then the limit does not exist
    2) Even if you ignore #1 that limit wouldn't exist because it approaches either +infinity or -infinity depending on which direction you approach 8 from. And the definition of a limit for real numbers requires that the limit be the same regardless of direction.
    yeah but in standard calc you totally write limits as if they = infinity or -infinity

    well, no you can't. In common english you can. It is usually understood as a sloppy shorthand for "limit does not exist". But in no form of rigorous mathematics is that acceptable.
    I'm not concerned with whether or not it can or cannot but it is notated that way in universities everywhere.

    there are known angles that are construct-able via compass/straightedge, so that solution might work?

    Yeah but what if you start playing a game where if you roll the max value on a die you re-roll it and add the results? (aka "exploding dice")
    How will you calculate the expected value of a roll without calculus?
    How?
