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've been to Montreal/Quebec a handful of times. Felt just like Europe, just with bigger dumber cars. We can definitely let you in, but only if you promise to swap General Motors for Volkswagen ;)

Honestly just try to avoid American companies like the plague. Used to have a couple of Makerbot printers, and the support is some of the worst I've ever experienced. Switching to the European Prusa printers was an eye-opener as to what good quality printers and support actually is. Shout-out to Prusa!

Sorry mate, I have absolutely no idea. I live in Copenhagen, and only own a bike and don't have a drivers license.

I know it's anecdotal, but among my students (12-18 y/o), dating sims are extremely popular. Probably the most popular genre after battle royal games. I would definitely consider dating sims romance games.

That was a great read, well-written and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

If you can't bite it, it doesn't exist.

Imagine telling Americans during the second red scare, about the political climate of today. History is weird.

I run a Makerspace and teach technology to kids. I don't think they are getting worse, but the difference between the lowest and highest skilled is bigger than ever before.

Those who are interested, learn so fucking fast and so thoroughly, because they have things like YouTube tutorials and Discord chat groups with like-minded nerds to teach themselves. BUT at the same time, it's easier to just remain a consumer, and never gain any deeper knowledge.

I think curiosity and attention are quickly becoming the most important skills by far.

Trying my best in the Makerspace for kids I help run. They actually love it!

I get discarded ThinkPads from local companies, and the only way to make them useful is to slap some Linux on there, and then basic stuff like Blender, PrusaSlicer and Godot. It's been a huge success, especially when we do a Capture-the-Flag tournament, where they have to hide and seek memes using SSH. The feeling of being "a real hacker" seems to be very motivational for the youngsters.
