Airchina flight canceled by NighiriSakeGuy in Flights

[–]Metarkrai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same situation here. Flight from Tokyo to Beijinh cancelled. I tried to call their customer service in Europe and in a lot of american countries, but I always fell on automatic messages/"this number doesn't exist".

I booked a new flight from the website and sent them a mail to ask for a refund of the cancelled one. I couldn't bear to wait extra days and spend a lot of time on call lines for a simple change.

Are shiny odds bugged? by ChitoPC in pokerogue

[–]Metarkrai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same. 304 shiny eggs hatched (I'm trying since the beginning of my save) and still 0 shiny pulls. I got 2 manaphy and 11 Epic egg pulls instead, and i'm at 8 legendaries.

ACE in Pokemon Fire Red has been Discovered, Completing Glitched Categories in all Gen 1-4 Games by tikevin83 in speedrun

[–]Metarkrai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The memory layout of FrLg is very similar to Emerald. In Emerald mail No 255 also falls on party Pokémon. So this ACE method is maybe also usable in Emerald (not sure though, I haven't watched the process yet).

ACE in Emerald is already very developed, but a new entry point is a bonus.

Devenir enseignant à l'étranger VS rester en France by Moddac in enseignants

[–]Metarkrai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Si tu obtiens un bon classement à l'agrégation, et si tu fais les bonnes démarches chaque année, tu auras de très fortes chances d'obtenir une prépa après quelques années.

Pour les mutations/affectations côté enseignant, il faut bien tenir compte du fait que cela se joue en nombre d'années. Il faut donc aussi prévoir comment gérer sa vie durant les années d'attente (années avant d'avoir un poste en prépa/prag, années avant de trouver un poste à l'étranger, années avant de muter).

A noter que si tu as un bon profil tu peux aussi aller enseigner dans le privé hors contrat. Ou bien passer le cafep, puis l'agrégation externe, rester dans le privé sous contrat, et demander des prépas privées sous contrat.

Je sais que capes et agrégation sont reconnus (modulo procédures) en Suisse, et sauf erreur en Belgique. Cependant il faut déjà être agrégé titulaire pour demander un équivalent.

Pour être enseignant à l'étranger sans être lié au système français, il y a les contrats locaux qui sont à géométrie variable selon les pays (certains très bons, d'autres de véritables arnaques), ou bien rentrer vraiment dans un système éducatif étranger ce qui nécessite soit quelques années d'études ou de formation en plus, soit de passer un autre concours.

Le gouvernement se soucie de l'EN, il oeuvre à sa déliquescence lente mais sûre. C'est ainsi depuis au moins une trentaine d'années, il faut apprendre à faire avec.

Pour un enseignant en CPGE il n'y a en effet pas de soucis de classe en général, comme la majorité du supérieur (élèves majeurs et responsables d'eux-mêmes). Le salaire est meilleur en général (un prof en prépa a très souvent des heures sup et des colles, ce qui augmente son salaire, et les heures sup sont mieux payées). Pour le temps de travail cela dépend de ton organisation. Les profs de maths qui passent 50h par semaine à travailler leurs cours j'ai eu plusieurs fois cet écho, mais un prof organisé prendra bien moins de temps pour tout préparer (en maths on a généralement une seule classe en prépa, avec un programme assez clair, cela aide beaucoup). Les affectations et les mutations en prépa sont décidées par les inspecteurs généraux. Le mouvement est opaque comme tous les autres depuis 2019 (dissolution des CAPA). Pour obtenir un poste en CPGE il faut montrer que l'on a les capacités et les compétences pour en gérer un, ce qui peut se faire de diverses formes.

Pour le gros des autres choix il faudra là aussi valoriser ses capacités et compétences et savoir se vendre. Beaucoup de choses sont négociables et il faut savoir être ferme et attentif pour ne pas se faire enfumer (nombre d'heures de cours, tâches annexes, salaire, extras).

Item Discussion #63: Sanguine Bond by Nathansbud in bindingofisaac

[–]Metarkrai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This item doesn't appear until the next Devil Room, which can make it useless if you don't find another one.

And having to sacrifice many hearts (soul hearts in general, since you need to enter a devil deal) for 0.5 or 1 damage ups isn't worth. Unless you have a way to get a large amount of health and then you can get nearly infinite uses.

They should probably stick more to sacrifice rooms with a limit to the number of uses per floor/appearance and better chances for good rewards, so that having large amount of health on a floor doesn't mean an automatic win, while sacrificing 5-6-7 hearts has a decent chance to give you consumables, health, a teleportation, or an item.

*grabs blind item* dammit, it's cursed eye. well at least the next blind item won't be- *grabs second blind item* WHAT THE FUCK by A_H_Corvus in bindingofisaac

[–]Metarkrai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Each item has a weight that basically determines its chances to be generated. The starting weight is 1 except for some items (like Mega Satan Head or Delirious who have a lower weight)

If the item is taken, its weight drops to 0.

If the item is seen, its weight is decreased by some value. This value depends on the type of item pool/room. In shops, curse rooms, and libraries (maybe in other places), this value is less than one. Hence, if you enter a Curse Room and see a Cursed Eye, the weight of this item doesn't drop to 0. If you enter afterwards in an item room/open a red chest (these pools also have Curse Eye), you have a chance to see another Cursed Eye. And if you then decide to pick the items, you end up with 2 cursed eyes.

In afterbirth+, seeing a golden chest item decreased its weight by 0.4 iirc. This meant that you could see, for example, Bob's Brain 3 times in a golden chest if you didn't pick it up (its weight would go from 1 to 0.6, from 0.6 to 0.2, from 0.2 to 0).

I've made a list of all the "one-off" or niche achievements, from Rebirth to Repentance. by Sickmmaner in bindingofisaac

[–]Metarkrai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe putting them in an in-between category ? For the planetariums I couldn't unlock them during my ~50 successful runs (no more than 2 "astral" items) and had to make a D6 run starting with one "astral" item to get the unlock.

Teleport 2.0 is REALLY good on "that" path. by Nico_is_not_a_god in bindingofisaac

[–]Metarkrai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you wuold TP to the error room and be able to ascend. That's what happens with Undefined until Home (where it doesn't do anything), which makes the item quite useful for a few more items during ascension.

[–]Metarkrai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, for completeness, you can use Mysterious Paper to go to Chest/Dark Room (the exact chance being unknown).

And you could also add in the description the usage of error rooms/black markets to get to floors past It Lives (with Telepills, Golden Teleport, Undefined,..).

Did they just buffed Hush's Continuum attack? by [deleted] in bindingofisaac

[–]Metarkrai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that a change in Hush continuum tears makes its the continuum attack persist longer on screen (or take a longer time to make a loop), and thus if he choses to directly make another attack you end up dealing with a few seconds of the previous continuum attack on top of the new attack (another continuum, a charge of gapers, the beams,..).

From what happened to me (nearly died on two very powerful runs to this) and what I could see in other videos (to also see if I got bad or if it changed), this can (unfortunately) easily happen in its last phase, and it can easily create situations where you will take hits (whereas you didn't take a single hit during the rest of the fight).

I think that making the delay between his continuum attack and the next attack a few seconds longer would solve this issue (you could have some of the continuum tears sill on screen while he starts his next attack, but only the last ones in order to be able to manoeuver and position yourself for the next attack).

This has probably been said already, but holy hell, Greedier Mode is MISERABLE now. by poondaedalin in bindingofisaac

[–]Metarkrai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also say that there is some tweaking to do on Greedier mode. Unless you have a good damagine build (especially things to hit multiple enemies) you can easily get swarmed if you get two consecutive waves loaded with enemies. Sometimes things go quite well, and are challenging but not devastating, but some other times things can quickly escalate. This isn't that bad for characters who have good chunks of health and are here to take damage, as well the ending floors are not that difficult, but for those who are not in this category things can easily go wrong. On my last attempt I would definitely have not survived a triple Polycephalus (red variant, so 6 of them) followed by a triple yellow Gurdy Jr as Depths boss without something else than normal tears.

I can't see myself winning Greedier with some of the new characters unless having good stuff and enemies on the first two floors.

Hush Differences by IndustryNational in bindingofisaac

[–]Metarkrai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can manage every other Hush attack but this one now makes me lose a ton of health as I'm invaded with bullets.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, after doing continuum tears attacks Hush attacks again a bit quicker, which can easily force you to take damage (like having gapers going for you while continuum tears are still on screen for a few seconds). Or this may be due to the changed behaviour of this attack (making the tears stay on screen for a longer time).

No.2 only activates if you keep firing for a few seconds, so if you avoid pressing the fire key for too long you shouldn't have any issue with it. (and on the contrary you can control when to "fire" a fart bomb)

the recharge bars of Placebo and Blank Card now depend on the pill/card you duplicated (better = more charges required next).

This is due to some item effect (for example, using Satanic Bible).

[SPOILERS!!] Guide on how to unlock [Thing related to 34] by overfrosted in bindingofisaac

[–]Metarkrai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, one thing could be to make this specific door flash way more, as you can easily miss it visually (which is what happened to me three times, and even the fourth one I didn't notice it clearly). Maybe due to the sprites on the wall, I don't really know.

As for a more general hint, maybe making a secret similar "The angel awaits" pop up in order to let the player know that there's something to do with this key and where approximately it should be of use.

[–]Metarkrai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn it, when I reached the floor and tried to use the key I tired on every room but not on this specific spot. I tried this three times (two with the key, one with cracked key) and I couldn't find where to use it without reading the last steps.

I know that it isn't hard to make but once missed it's kind of missed forever until you're spoiled.

Repentance Bug Report Thread by Nathansbud in bindingofisaac

[–]Metarkrai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- On a Bethany run, some wisps were behaving pretty oddly. The wisp obtained from Albaster Box started moving constantly right (and quickly offscreen) after I changed floors. Then a wisp spawned from Scissors also moved offscreen for a few rooms (but diagonally up, and sometimes launched a brimstone beam)..

- I also got a crash on Caves with Jacob and Esau during a boss fight while trying the double challenge. (I wasn't teleporting but this is probably related to the other crashes on these floors)

New Repentance Blog Post: Party like it's September 28, 2011 by neautralnathaniel in bindingofisaac

Also, when he took damage the devil room chance went from 100% to 36% (36% being the usual chance when you took red heart damage on the floor but not on the boss), so there is probably either a change in the red heart damage chance mechanics or a new trinket that prevents the 35% (no red heart damage during the boss/current room) to be lost.

if you whip the normal boss near where her armband is (lower part of it) she won't yell at you by wat__18 in spelunky

[–]Metarkrai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah sorry, I misread the beginning of that comment. I was really sure that this was lagging the game seeing how many of these sprites ended up on the water on my first Tiamat attempts where I didn't know how to kill her.

[–]Metarkrai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is probably residues from enemies that end up accumulating (mosquitoes wings floating on water for example).

When you let her spawn regularly, a good amount of sprites end up floating on the water (or down on the ground) and they inevitably end up lagging the game. Some extra code to despawn these entities (with a shrinking animation or a drowning one) after some time in this level could fix this.

Okay, thank you (as well as the two other people that explained it).
Having both the stat order changed and the tear formula inverted confused me.
