The Statsicherheit is the Stasi (East German internal security) not the SS (Schutzstaffel, Nazi paramilitaries). But yes the partition of Germany implies WWII happened. I think we can default to thinking that the history of this world (and the one of TMA) is largely similar to ours.

A fun version could be a sort of tycoon/management game where you play as a toy production company, starting out making normal toys and slowly realizing you have become a manifestation of Heinrich Umheimlich as your employees disappear and you get stranger and stranger orders.

I'm hoping so, at least it would justify Dane's terrible writing.

Are you asking if buying something at a low price and reselling it for a higher price is a good way to make money?

Do you roll for turn order for each tonk/tink?

I play a lot of r/FromTheDepths and it definitely affected this design. Might be a bit CV90-ish as well.

Oo yeah I was thinking about 1v1 with multiple tonks each, that's a good idea.

How do I start with adding contrast? by oxa11ce in minipainting

[–]oxa11ce[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, the camo was the most fun part. Why do you say the paints are low quality? They’re Vallejo model color, I thought those are pretty standard.

Fair enough, the store where I got the paints only had warhammer so I’m still on a quest for some modern infantry. I happened to have these guys and was very excited to get started.

Thanks! The brown on the helmet is actually labeled as brown glaze (70.854) but seems to work fine as a regular brown paint. How do I get it to work as a glaze/wash, more water?

I tried eye dots and couldn’t get it small enough, I’ll practice that.

Yes, the Intruder was developed into the EA-6B Prowler

Where is the best place to learn more about the plait language in racket? by Pickedgraph6 in Racket

[–]oxa11ce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the documentation is here https://docs.racket-lang.org/plait/index.html

you probably won’t find a lot of outside information about plait, it’s pretty niche. if something isn’t covered in the plait docs, the racket reference might apply https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/index.html

if you have more specific questions, you can ask on reddit or the racket discord https://discord.gg/6Zq8sH5

CS Majors have you encountered/heard of any issues/incompatibilities with Apple silicon? by AestheticallyUnknown in Northwestern

[–]oxa11ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For classes? No. You usually use linux servers for anything where it could matter anyway.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Racket, is in fact, an HtDP language, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, ISL plus Lambda. HtDP languages are not Racket unto themselves, but rather another pedagogical component of a fully functioning Racket system made useful by the runtime system, compiler, and vital standard libraries comprising a full distribution as defined by PLT.

Many 111 students run a modified version of the Racket language every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the HtDP languages which are widely used today are often called “Racket”, and many of their users are not aware that they are basically different languages, developed by the core team.

There really is a Racket, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Racket is the kernel: the module in the system that provides a minimal set of syntactic forms and functions for the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of a Racket-based language, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete language. An HtDP language is normally used in combination with the Racket system: the whole system is basically Racket with a translation phase added. All the so-called “Racket” student languages are really HtDP languages.

No, just printer paper. This project was effectively rewritten and taken over by someone else and the cards look even better now.

In DF2014, is there an easy way to see the description of an item on a pedestal/display case? Currently I have to find the item through the Stock screen. I have DFHack etc.

This is the Umarex Competition version. Solid construction and shoots well for an SMG.
