I fucking love Grim Dawn! Started a new nightblade/berserker. It’s way better than Nightblade/arcanist but still scratches the itch poison/ice dual wielding.

Technology@lemmy.world•Schools across America are quietly admitting that screens in classrooms made students worse off and are reversing years of tech-first policiesEnglish
12 daysThe issue here is that the technology itself, instruction, and implementation was incredibly poor this century. Schools weren’t doing basic things like typing classes for primary school, there was no instruction on how to program or use the operating systems, and kids weren’t given PCs; they were given tablets and chrome books which favored internet access based learning platforms over products stored locally on machines.
I grew up during the 1980s, and my primary schools had 1 apple pc in the classroom. We took turns learning typing. We learned how to operate the machines by inserting floppies and typing commands. Things we were given access to were all instructional. I have vivid memories of learning math via computer with a program called number muncher.
Access to the tech was limited and supervised. This is what created an environment that taught me how to use computers as I transitioned to secondary education. This century, all of the implemented controls were related to limiting access to pornography rather than teaching students anything about the actual tech. Now we have a generation of people entering the workforce that don’t know how to use PCs just like the boomer demographic.

1 monthMicrosoft is high on it’s own supply. The leadership is so out of touch with its customers that I can’t wait to watch them hit bottom.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•'Being Proud of the Thing We Made Did Not Give Us the Right to Make It' — Dbrand Cancels Its Steam Machine Companion CubeEnglish
1 monthThey make skins for the steam deck, so it’s not like they didn’t know how to get permission to do this kind of thing. I sort of feel like this company does stupid shit on purpose to generate media coverage and considers the media coverage a win for brand recognition; financial consequences be damned.

Technology@lemmy.world•Scalpers are already selling the Steam Machine for over $3000 on eBay despite Valve's effortsEnglish
1 monthMy g/f is more or less just a collector. She has binders and binders of cards she collected over 30 years before the scalpers turned the TCG into a commodity. She got so fed up with the scalpers and inflated prices that she started an LLC so she can get wholesale product. She has to compete with big box stores for product, which means she gets way less wholesale than big established stores. She probably sells 75% of the wholesale product/unopened packs and keeps 25% for herself. She charges reasonable prices. She’s making like $2 an hour profit running her LLC after accounting for packaging, shipping, and purchasing new inventory. Even though she can’t get as much product as she wants, she’s always sold out because she isn’t charging scalper prices. She gets cards/packs for herself at reasonable prices, and her small customer base doesn’t have to pay scalper prices.

Technology@lemmy.world•Scientists found a cannabis compound that relieves pain without the highEnglish
1 monthCodeine can still make people sleepy and sluggish. It’s still an opioid that can lead to dependence and withdrawal. It still has negative GI side effects causing constipation. It’s not a good idea for driving while under the influence. If this can help people in pain without side effect that can cause impairment, why not. Getting high off of cannabis can still be allowed.
