I hope overwatch burns out fast because if I got to go through more than two more weeks of this poo poo I will toxx myself from life. Like I'm sure its fun but as someone allergic to blizzard, I am just drowning in overwatch and its army of memes.

also I am backing up the fallout 4 sass. The backbone is fine but just something about the overall whole is just aggressively mediocre and it doesn't make sense to me because skyrim is still my "nothing else to play" game.

I would love Bethesda style RPG's if I didn't hate them so much.

This thread is lovely. How far out of politics can we go? I think I have something like 600 shitposts in Bernie threads, and enjoy Something Awful more than ever. I was thinking about starting a thread in You Look Like poo poo about gymnastics and training connective tissue, does that mean I have to know what I'm talking about? How much work should I put into an OP?


Factorio is great. I bought the Starcrafts instead of Overwatch with my limited game budget, and because someone mentioned the Steam sale on controllers ( I want to say NumberLast?) I blew 85 bux on the Steam link and a Controller. Soon I can Factorio from my bed instead of sleeping!

I'm playing Khan Academy like it's a part time job though.

I can math! You can learn anything! Yay!

It wasn't me because I would never say anything to facilitate the sale or use of Steam controllers.

Well, and here's the million dollar question, what were you using it to study? I find intro course trend to have a ton of polish, but that standard drops fast.

If Lynda is different then that's interesting.

I've been using it to learn programming and app development.

Never done coding before so I've been starting from scratch. The quality of the courses vary more based on who's presenting than what the course is covering.

I can't deal with KA. Every time I loaded up KA while in school it would be for a single, specific point that I was missing. But its strength - methodical, comprehensive walkthroughs of concepts and problems - made it frustrating for me to watch.

the hardest thing with learning a language is picking a project and having the energy to work through it after work. ive been trying to pick up C in my downtime {job is python, scala, and a bit of JS} but im usually too tired to do anything but watch jackass clips. it doesn't help that my experience is limited to building web apps and spark stuff and i don't know what project to build in C.what do you think you'll do for a project?

I'm trying to pick up Python and I'm finding that using a Raspberry Pi as a multimedia center is a pretty decent project for that.

You can get lab supplies up to and including active pathogens pretty easily if you don't mind being on a watch list. It's kinda the cost of entry if you work in a lab that's too small to have independent provisioning and security.
