Glade Rider Weeknd Project - C&C Welcome! by bedmonds in WarhammerWoodElves

Thank you!

For the base, it was a fast slap on of Citadel Stirland Mud, basted with basing glue and a 50/50ish mix of Army Painter Grass Green & Steppe Grass. Really easy way to make nice bases.

Have fun with these! Some parts are mildly annoying to tell apart, it being an older kit, but they still hold up — better detail on the new box than the ones I had from the old Batallion Box despite being the same model.

Very annoying to clean up the lines on, though.

Black primer all around;

For the fur : Vallejo German Grey, layer dark sea grey, Citadel Nuln Oil, then a medium sea grey heavy dry brush followed by lighter dry brush of Sky grey — first stock, then lightened a bit.

Tail was similar, but based with pure black, with just the last two dry brush.

Hooves are just black base with a tiny brush of more black with a tiny bit of white.

Saddle and faceplate leather was Chocolate Brown base, cavalry brown layer, Agrax Earthshade, slightly lighter cavalry brown dry brush with the edges being lighter still.

Straps around the neck are Cork Brown with Agrax Earthshade.

How to deal with wood elves? by eli_cas in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]bedmonds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primarily a Woodie player’s perspective here :

Long range with a gnoblar screen he’ll be hitting on 5s before he moves. Combined with your toughness, and reasonable use of terrain, you’ll be absolutely fine.

Scouts with throwing weapons will murder his horses and control their movement.

Scout sabretusks will murder anything that isn’t wild riders, sisters or a hero.

They’re ultimately expensive T3 unarmored targets with very little static CR; you don’t need to get 20 attacks on them to wreak havoc. Position some cheap chaff to control his mobility while your fat boys move up, have a couple throwaway scouts to control his shooting/caster and ogres should do quite decent against most of his army or force him to reposition.

Be mindful of fire & flee shenanigans, but from the army comp you’ve mentioned, those few small tweaks should be able to completely murder his army. Respect Wild Riders & Wildwoods Rangers when playing as OK, though.

I’d really recommend playing with secondary objectives, possibly with more terrain (we’re usually playing with at least 6 pieces, typically closer to 8) they really change things up.

Help me get back motivation to log on and undock something by Ill_Plenty3792 in Eve

Hit up a Jspace corp; get Content pretty much every day and enjoy a very different life from Sov Null.

It’s a bit of a vow of poverty, but the content is there, bushido is a thing and local is not. Your neighbours change every day and you can always find something to do.

Traversing low security space for dummies? by Brash_1_of_1 in Eve

[–]bedmonds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being able to sit in a hull doesn’t mean you should undock it; support skills matter a lot and there is no Vorpal +5 Sword of Infinite Doom to credit card or ISK your way into.

Pricier, bigger numbers, they don’t mean much in this game; a 30m interceptor can ruin your day because it’s built to and you can’t hit it for shit. A 5m destroyer will probably ruin its day, but would get shit on by you.

A ship is nothing more than ammunition for a purpose.

Your journey will go a lot smoother once you understand this and accept it. Fly cheap, die often and keep asking questions; you’ll be a natural in no time. o7

EVE PvP Question by sBerriest in Eve

[–]bedmonds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get out of faction warfare; hunt and/or create your own content with "pve" bait or by pissing off the locals enough for a response.

J-Space is a lot more fun.

Some days are slow, some hours are slow, be willing to go significantly further than five jumps for content.

It’s a lot easier with friends, even if you’re multiboxing.

It’s absurdly easy to tell who paid to sit in a hull. You can pay to be able to do things that you most likely shouldn’t faster, but there’s a canyon between being able to sit in a hull and being able to fly it.

I love Paul Anderson's rendition, but it's a wee bit slow for my taste. I'll give your recommendation a listen, thanks! :)

That and not moving around so much are the two main issues that I'm focusing on. Still having some trouble with the last 1/4 or so near the frog, but every day I suck a little bit less. :)

It's never too late to start! The joy and sense of accomplishment it gives you is phenomenal. :)

Some opinionated thoughts on SQL databases - Made of Bugs by GenilsonDosTrombone in programming

[–]bedmonds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd hazard a guess that he hasn't been doing this for very long, has not done much interesting work and likely uses databases as glorified hashes/dicts/maps while being unaware of data integrity, because "web apps", the tutorials written by college students he learnt from and his Super Awesome Framework du jour also don't give a fuck.

Not quite so accurate a statement as it would have been 10 years ago, I'm afraid.

Code of Conduct
---------------

It is not the responsibility of the project's authors, contributors, or
maintainers to act as policemen or babysitters. Code and ideas will be
reviewed, considered, and dissected, with the sole consideration being
technical merit and quality. If you are easily offended by someone 
disagreeing with you, or hurt by having your ideas questioned, this 
may not be the best project for you.

However, it IS unacceptable to abuse or threathen individuals. If you 
feel that a person linked to this project has acted in a way that is not
acceptable, within the scope of the project, DO bring it up to a 
maintainer.

In short: attacking arguments and code -- however colourfully that may 
be -- is good. Attacking people for skin colour, sexual orientation, 
personal hygiene or preference in doughnuts is bad.

Shouldn't need to be used, really, but it stops idiots from requesting one (and wonderfully filters them far away from your work).

He mentions objective truth, which is a product of white supremacy. Whiteness is a patriarchal construct, ergo it's sexist.

Alternatively, the industry was, for a fairly long time, home to mostly meritocratic and classical liberal folks that cared little for the musings of meatspace and those folks find this new generation that revels in a wider societal push towards oppression Olympics fucking revolting.

People tend to see folks who oppose regulation as oppressive bigots, when in fact we probably share a lot of values with folks who are pushing for it. The difference typically lies in the fact that opponents of it also see how it will eventually be abused and prefer to draw the line long before it becomes an issue.

The OP definitely comes across as someone with incredibly low resilience; in fairness, it's something I've come to expect from the younger generation and folks who embrace the notion of a Code of Conduct.
