You still have games that launch shitty or "unprepared" but for the most part most multiplayer games have realized outside of an activision/blizzard joint, if your launch crashes so will your game.
I can’t think of a single mmo who didn’t go down during launch despite stress testing.
Well depends on what you mean by MMO. Like the Division had a stable launch, it wasn't a traditional MMO, more like a destiny, both destiny 1 and 2 had stable launches.

I vaguely recalled SWTOR having a pretty stable launch. Or at least my server.
I remember it going down early during release but could have been server dependent.
Probably. I got screwed by gamestop on early release. Like I preordered well in advance but never got my early access. I think that was the last PC game I ever preordered from game stop.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Elder Scrolls Online had a good launch from a technical point of view. I didn't resub after the free month that it came with but there wasn't any problem logging in or such from what I saw.

I had an interview a week or so ago that made me so angry.
It was a phone interview for a data science job and the guy was asking me questions like "What are the four principles of Object Oriented Programming" and some really detailed questions about statistics formulas that I knew when I was in school but would need to look over my notes to remember now. At some point I was taking some time to think about something and he went "I hope you're not Googling any of this" which really set me off (not literally, I was very polite). First of all, fucking rude. Second of all, if your questions can all be easily answered with a quick Google, they're probably not great interview questions! I'm going to have Google at my job! Ask me questions that make me demonstrate understanding of concepts, not stuff you memorize by rote.
Dude was a statistics PhD so he really cared about the theoretical math behind things, and like....that's not really my job as a data scientist? And if I need them, again, I can just look them up!
I was really excited about that job too, fucking annoying.

I like "bounced off" a lot. I think it's a very concise and polite way of saying "that thing you like, I don't like it, but I think I just didn't get it, and it's okay that you like it"
This is a really good way of putting it.
But the opposite would be "I bounced on the thing" which sounds... well... :winky:
still works

Also once you got to max level, there wasn't much to do.
Tbh I feel like that's true of every game. Endless novelty is an illusion.

any programming language that doesn’t define signed, unsigned, float, and int types with their precision right in the typename can screw off. It’s 2018. We already figured out that using floats for everything is shit, that having to include the word “signed” is terrible, that only having signed types is real bad, and that not specifying the type capacity in the name of a type is a disaster waiting to happen.
If I see “unsigned short” or “long long” in new code or a new language standard, I will consume an innocent soul.

If you ask your data scientist candidate to tell you the four principles of OOP or make them write a program that determines the overlapping area of two rectangles (and then complain it's not efficient enough when they do it) you can honestly just fuck right off.

“half”, “float”, and “double” have never been ambiguous so I’ll let them off the hook but I would strongly prefer Float16, Float32, and Float64

Honestly more games should just seek to engage people some times, and not dominate their lives. But that doesn't wow share holders who are becoming increasingly unhinged.

Wait didn't the Division have a super messed up launch? Like not servers going down, but non-instanced in-game machine that all players need to use to do something critical resulting in like thousands of players all huddled around this one spot and waiting in line for their turn?

There is a reason my favorite games of the last few years have generally been short enough that I can't burn out on them due to all the endless content that is mostly not good.

Someone in SE said they've racked up 6500 hours in Warframe and my stomach lurched.
Not because it's Warframe, which I'm sure is a perfectly fine game, but just the idea of doing any one thing for that long makes me ill. That's 65% of the way toward being an accomplished musician. It's hundreds of books or films or even just other video games Jesus Christ

Yes I think. Check their webside, I had to like retrieve it or something like it at least once when they switched how tracking purchases worked.
Edit: if you've played late enough that you now have a mojang account then all you need to do is download the game and play

I don't think geth has ever given me a chat thread
I rolled up to the counter with a sixpack at 19:59
The guy ahead of me packing his groceries stopped to express that he was very impressed with that ice cold timing
I went damn straight, although in my head I was like oh yeah, maybe I should have checked how long the bus would take
Wait, why?
