Anytime, feel free to dm me if you get stuck during setup.

I can also recommend getting a Steam Deck for WoW. Install the ConsolePort addon to easily play with a controller. Its great for casual levelling :)

I play both Classic and Retail on Pop!_OS using Lutris. Chose Pop! because my machine has an RTX 3090. The setup was super easy, and I actually get better overall performance than I did on Windows.

In my experience, the best pipeline is GDScript > Python > (HTML/CSS/JS) > Then branch out depending on needs/interest. My students are 10-15 year-olds, and throwing them directly into something like C# would not work.

Almost all students are extremely aversive to coding at first. Godot is brilliant in the way they can build most things visually at first, getting them invested in their games before programming with all its debugging and hair-ripping is introduced.

I also recently discovered the Block Coding Addon for Godot, which has been a game changer for my dyslexic students.

After the Unity debacle I switched to using Godot in my classroom, for teaching programming through Game Development. It’s been a huge success! It’s a much more user-friendly engine for beginners, and it’s so lightweight that even a bunch of shitty school laptops run it with no issues. Love Godot!

I’m not sure I get that part. Movement of goods within the EU is tax free, so why wouldn’t another country just import it, and move it to, say, Portugal?

Isn’t “heavier” only used when describing weight and not mass?

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I am usually a huge SciFi fan, but I like the genre for it’s ability to reflect on humanity by extrapolating on current technologies/trends or comparing our culture to unique alien ones.

Revelation Space was technobabble and descriptions of weapons for pages upon pages, and it was totally devoid of any philosophy or reflection on humanity. I never DNF a book, but this one I almost gave up on.

This feels like OG 4chan or Reddit, and I’m all for it. Great ducks, people!

Crushes are non-consensual. Getting rejected is definitely the best, because that is the first step to getting over an unhealthy obsession.

It is. But it’s also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world

Look up The Minerva model

Angry and nihilistic teenagers used to have tech skills and laptops. Now they have iPads and TikTok.

I have an unfinished Software Engineering degree. While studying, I started a small businesses to do some freelance IT work on the side and one client offered me a full-time job, so I put the studies on hold and then never looked back. Been climbing through different positions and companies since then. Experience is valued much higher than a diploma, especially in an industry that evolves too quickly for education to keep up. I quit the industry recently to start teaching, because there is huge need for teachers that can teach programming, and working with people is much more rewarding than a big paycheck (imo).

In all of my job interviews, I’ve been asked more about the company I started while studying, than the degree that I quit. So I guess my tip is to start your own thing or start teaching. Having your own business with a license also makes it way easier for big companies to hire you for contract work.

I think you maybe read something that the op didn’t write? Pointing out that “there are racists everywhere” is in itself not a racist statement.

It’s honestly so weird that you can just take up public space with your dumb-ass car, that is not even in use 99% of the time.

Voting days should be mandatory holidays

Same. It physically hurts to see talentless suck-ups play the bullshit game and climb the hierarchy, whereas you get punished and kept down for pointing out the bullshit. My best decision ever was to escape the hell that is the field of software development, and instead get into teaching. Now my reward for a job well done is seeing my students succeed and I love it so much.

All the greatest recent games run super well on the Steam Deck, so there’s no need for a giant console cosplaying as a router.

I’ve been playing the Hades 2 beta recently, and I keep thinking about how incredible it is that this game is already better than any AAA title I’ve played in the last like 8 years. And it’s still in beta and made by just 23 people. Call of Duty, FIFA and the like will keep the big studios running for a while, but indie has definitely overtaken the industry and I’m all for it.

He just needs a panini maker, and he would be the reason noone believes Troy.
