You can also get the expanding foam post fix, but, I wouldnt trust it really, especially where I live on the side of a valley and when the storms blow in the right direction, whistling down the valley, nowt is safe!

Cannot beat a breaky uppy mode, saves the hand cramps and chipped knuckles knocking ten bells out of a chod of conc with a hammer and chisel.

I have a massive JCB drill with a concrete breaky uppy mode which has got me out of jail free a couple of times replacing rotted fence posts that has been concreted in.

Putting my 2 deckings in.... I've dug enough post holes to last me a life time... I feel sorry for the future poor sod who may want to shift'em... Like most things I do, I tend to go over the top, and as such, I've probably got shares in postcrete! :D

Consult a qualified electrician for compliance with BS 7671 and local building Regs! Avoid areas where future digging is likely. ;)

That depends on where the cable is to run. Minimum depth in a garden in 450mm. Under pavements 600mm.

Conflict 3049 - free RTS game (built with C# and raylib)

Sorry I'm just expressing mild frustration after watching a reviewer "play" the game and seemingly have no idea to move the mouse to the edge of the screen or the mini map to scroll the map, or right click to issue move orders, or left drag to select a group of units. It was almost as if the guy playing was using a touch screen input not realising it was a PC game - somehow. I just don't see how an RTS player can not know to move the mouse to the edge of the screen to move the map....you could see his mouse cursor- staying in the middle of the screen approximately the entire time. And then he labels the game "confusing"

..some folks just doesnt give a second to check 'controls' option..in case it doesnt exists at version that 'player' was using, then maybe his rant is something to understand. But if description for controls are provided, then it must be one of those, 'gimme da code' dudes..

Probably the type that expects that there is a tutorial mode.
If you've dug yourself into a hole. Just keep digging. You're bound to come out the other side eventually.

Steve Elliott

Yeah, I guess some people need to be spoon fed these days. In the 80's we just had to work it out for ourselves, ie use our brains.

Matty

I don't know, maybe he had something not quite right with him - I watched again and on the gui part he was randomly clicking parts that weren't even buttons as well ..

Naughty Alien

..i saw few videos like that and it turned out to be some dumb AI that supposed to provide 'review data' about game, for actual review author..

Matty

Yeah it either was an AI or someone beyond totally clueless.

Matty

Another reviewer is about to release a video in about five hours from now.  I haven't seen what they say yet but here's the link:


Hopefully it's good.

My computer 2014-2025.  Finally dead.  Should have enough money to replace January 2026.

I can still use the PCs at the library and my phone.  But no real Dev work possible.  I could try porting some games to three.js on the browser if I were healthy enough.

Naughty Alien

..sigh..if you are closer, ill hand you over PC so you can do what you do as i have bunch of all kind of stuff, from SBC's up to gaming desktops..no display.. ;D

I've had some financial help (govt/super) so I should be able to replace sooner.
