    I can’t remember the last time that Steam went down due to a game release. Maybe it was coincidental if they were having issues, but it would be a first.

      episodes like this used to make working the night shift at a NOC a lot of fun because i got to spend time with all the daywalkers who were pulling extra long shifts to make sure that the rollout went smoothly (it never did) and i also felt like the smartest person in the room because my mind was fresh while theirs had been tired out for going nonstop for the last 20ish hours. lol

      I’m old enough to remember the excitement and horror of the half life 2 release. They’ve had a massive CDN backing them for ages now though.

      Also did I just spot an Irish Lemmy server?
