I spent 90 minutes looking up all the different candidates and filling out the ballot last time, don't think I'd do well taking forever in the actual polling place.

I think usually you're supposed to look them up and decide before you go, rather than cramming in all your "studying" last minute <_<

I live 2 blocks away from the nearest polling spot so it's easier for me to walk over there than deal with mail or whatever

I'm just gonna take the extremely straightforward option of physically strong and that's a definite no

Looking at the steam achievements, it seems a bit more than a quarter of the people who get the first achievement get an ending

25% is not 40% but is still much higher than I expected

this is really high, and I'm not just saying that in the sense of "it's an easy fromsoft game" I mean it is very high for a large game of any difficulty level

where'd you get that number anyway

WoW was not the first MMO or even close to it

I think it's more that it is the first one to really get massive notice while actually intentionally embracing that sort of live service model as an intentional planned thing. since yeah I'm aware it's not the first MMO, I was playing runescape before WoW even existed but it's undeniable that it massively changed the landscape of the genre and of ongoing games as a whole.

either way, not really the point

Any update or addition to a game was used for live service.

Personally I think this is stretching the definition a little too far, since basically all games nowadays are released broken and need some sort of bugfix patch. I think where I'd want to draw the line is something like "Does the developer plan to offer a continual trickle of new content, balance patches, maybe even events? And thus continue transforming the game to keep it new?" (in contrast to creating a new distinct game). So something that receives a few bugfixes, or maybe one piece of DLC at some point down the line, is not live service. But anything with regular content patches, expansions, DLC packs, and so on almost certainly is

ok i dont think you know what a live service game is

MMOs are NOT a live service game

Why not?

They receive continual content updates, often have significant microtransaction presence as well as other common live service features like dailies / timed events, etc etc. In what way are they not live service games?

The concept is wildly considered to be originally spawned by world of warcraft. the two are extremely intertwined

Live service games dont work.

many of the most popular games are live service. they clearly do work

we don't have the genetic engineering tech to make them a real thing yet so unfortunately they are stuck as only an anime thing for now

I've never not had an office, nor have I ever been in a workplace that doesn't have an office (barring receptionists, factory workers etc)

Oh, the workplace has offices. Just that the filler employees don't get them
