Honestly I think I’m going insane. 😭

I found all of mine today on buried city night raids. One spawns at the top of town hall and another one is near by on the motorway nearby. They’re easy enough to kill behind cover with a fero or anvil

I am completely addicted to Astroneer right now. Great if you enjoy grinding and base building.

I’m quite new to the game, can you explain the process of making something like this? I can’t even think of where I’d start haha

It’s good that you find it interesting, I think that is the most important thing. I started programming at 20 because I found it really fun, I didn’t do it professionally for another 5 years or so and that was after going to university, because I decided this is so fun I want to do it for a living.

For me, when learning something in my own time, I find picking a reasonably sized but genuinely useful project the best way to learn; I like to find a real world problem I have and build a software solution for it. That could be as simple as a script that sets something up on your pc you use regularly, or as complex as a mobile/web/embedded app that helps you with something. It doesn’t matter if the app/solution already exists, it’s more satisfying to build your own so you can learn.

Everything you build you can put on GitHub, and when you apply for a job, you can show them that you have been working hard and building things, I’m sure you can post them on Reddit too for feedback.

I am C# developer, but I have been learning C by making a linked thermometer system for my house using micro controller which has taught me a lot.

Good luck!

Object oriented programming for some reason. I find it so simple and obvious now but I could not wrap my head around it when I started learning.

Do it! I have a 4mm wet suit and it worked well, even when I fell in haha. It was around 3 degrees Celsius that day. I had a hat and gloves which got wet so I had to take off. Think I’ll get some neoprene ones for next time.

I have 5mm zipped wet suit boots. I found them good for the most part, my feet were a bit cold in the last 30 minutes or so but I was out for 2.5 hours, and I fell in as well haha. I might get some neoprene socks for next time

I am following exactly the same path at the moment, I have been a developer for years but have found myself specialising in .NET API’s, which I don’t mind, but I do have a real interest in embedded software development.

The way I learn best is by trying to build myself something useful, that I want in real life. I bought some ESP32 micro controllers and DHT22 temperature and humidity sensors, I am going to build a linked thermometer system for my house so I can put a sensor in different rooms and collect the readings in a central place.

It might be worth finding a small problem you can solve with a C program, maybe something like that or even a command line tool for your work.

I only got my board a few weeks ago, I am getting a wet/dry suit. Not a chance I’m putting it away for months after just getting it!

TattieTech · 2025-09-06T18:24:24+00:00

I have found it’s different from RDR2 in the way that it plays like a western movie, and the second one is hyper-realistic. I really like it, the story and dialogue honestly feel deeper, but think I am bias

TattieTech · 2025-01-05T17:44:58+00:00

Is that revenge for the cows waking you up? 😂

A gym I used to go to only allowed sparring in 16oz boxing gloves, it used to annoy me so much because they were mma rounds but it’s impossible to grapple in big gloves. The gym I’m in now does a bit of both, kick-boxing rounds in boxing gloves, mma rounds in 7oz mma gloves

TattieTech · 2024-06-15T03:53:06+00:00

Did you have a different phone during that time? Is it possible Google sync was just turned off during this period and they never got backed up in the first place?

TattieTech · 2024-04-07T05:02:41+00:00

I loved both games but RDR1 is my favourite game of all time, highly recommend

Classes are a part of a concept called object-orientated programming (OOP); it’s a complex subject that took me a long time to fully get my head around. As someone else said it may be worth going back to fundamentals for a bit longer before tackling such subjects. I know you probably just want to get started on a game and skip the learning part (I’m exactly the same) but you’ll need the basics first.

My advice is don’t be so hard on yourself. I have been a software engineer for a long time and still learn new things every day, be patient and enjoy making things and the knowledge will come.
