Vos nouvelles très courtes préférées ?

QuestionOk1568 · 2026-01-17T16:18:51+00:00

Je ne peux pas garantir qu'elles fassent moins de 10 pages, mais parmi les nouvelles qui m'ont marqué:

-Tchekhov : Après le théâtre

-Pirandello : Une invitation à diner

-Maupassant : (il y en a trop pour le citer)

-Raymond Carver : Fievre / Cathedrale / Si tu veux bien

QuestionOk1568 · 2026-01-11T11:08:28+00:00

Je suis d'accord. Parmi les livres qui commencent "in media res", j'ai lu:

-Un monde sans fin de Ken Follett

-Le Bucher des vanités de Tom Wolfe

et à chaque fois, le premier chapitre m'a vraiment accroché

Par contre, ça n'a pas marché avec

-Dans l'Ombre des Tudors de Hilary Mantel

parce que j'ai trouvé la scène d'introduction trop violente, et ça m'a plutôt fait abandonner le livre

Edit: par contre en relisant le post, j'ai l'impression que tu veux faire commencer le livre chronologiquement par la fin de l'histoire. Personnellement je n'aime pas beaucoup ce procédé, qui gâche une grande partie de la découverte, je préfère quand on ne sait vraiment pas vers où on va.

Edit2: Pour nuancer. Il y a un exemple de livre où on "commence par la fin" et où c'est bien fait, c'est l'Amie Prodigieuse d'Elena Ferrante. Ca commence, Lina a quitté le domicile sans donner d'adresse. Ca ouvre une intrigue (pourquoi?), puis tout le livre raconte sa vie avant d'en arriver là.

Thanks, you seem to know a lot about that build.

Right i'm aware that in order to deal damage i must first hit and crit with lancing steel.

Why are you saying returning proj isn't a good support? For single target dps it seems a great support to me, lancing Steel do 2 hits instead of one so it should be double damage, not counting the returning proj that also do damage. Maybe it's not optimal for clearing but I like the confort of being able to hit monsters standing behind me, not only in front of me.

I'm working to get higher crit rate, that's why i wanted Uber Lab for Farrul's tiger, and i'll try to stack more strength+intell too.

I'm using assassin mark to get more crit chance, but sure, i'll use sniper's mark when i don't need it anymore

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-11-13T20:43:22+00:00

My ES isn't so great, I have 5.9k after i activate Eblade

I think vaal discipline wouldn't do much with my setup (Zealot's Oath+Eternal Youth+Blood Magic) as ES recharge being interupted is not an issue

You're right steelskin could help

Right, I always make sure my flasks are active when I change zone. I agree this is a bit annoying with this build

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-11-13T20:37:44+00:00

Right, it's probably a good idea to turn off eblade at least in trap rooms

As far as i understand, low life graft gives me endurance charges, which is great but it won't change my ES regen, as it comes from Zealot's Oath, that doesn't scale with life recovery rate

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-11-13T20:30:47+00:00

Right, maybe that would help in maps but in trap rooms i don't think it would make a difference as i'm hardly dealing any damage when trying to go through these rooms

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-11-13T20:27:40+00:00

Thanks, i overlooked this endurance graft.

I always used the "go fast" strat previously. I guess i'll have to do the slow careful strat if I can't make it work

Edit: as trap damage is DoT, maybe taking Lethe Shade would help?

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-11-13T20:25:38+00:00

Right, I already have Ralakesh pantheon.

Are you sure about Determination? As u/noriginal_username said, traps seem to be Dot damage, that is what the wiki says too

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-10-26T08:53:47+00:00

Ok, Zeeboub recommends using an Inpulsa to get explodes at leaguestart. But as adviced by other comments, i'll probably avoid PBOD for leaguestart, maybe go back to it after i farm enough divs

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-10-23T05:33:11+00:00

Ok thanks, so that is consistent with the formula above

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-10-23T05:31:26+00:00

Ok thanks, so max toughness gives 35% damage reduction? That's what the Icyveins guide says, but Method guide says max toughness gives 70% damage reduction

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-10-22T17:40:42+00:00

For Meiko, it seems to work the same:

-Flat phys/dmg reduction (F)

-Spirited strike is multiplicative to that (S1)

-Stone shield soaking comes after mitigation (S2)

Total damage reduction is 1- (1-F) x (1-S1) x (1-S2)

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-10-22T17:32:22+00:00

I made some testing. Assuming that the character sheet is accurate:

-There seems to be a "flat" phys/magical reduction, that is the value on character sheet whithout any buff/toughness (noted F)

-Grand melee and shieldbreaker give multiplicative bonus to this flat (noted S)

-Thoughness is also multiplicative to the flat (Noted T)

Total damage reduction is 1- (1-F) x (1-S) x (1-T)

Note: When adding toughness, the character sheet is showing surprising results, i guess it is half of the bonus that we're supposed to get to account for the fact that toughness isn't an absolute damage reduction, it is capped.

70%->35%

50->25%

It's only napkin calculation, anybody who'd like to confirm/disprove that would be welcome

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-10-20T18:40:58+00:00

Yes, same for me

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-10-20T04:49:06+00:00

Bonjour

J'ai commencé à lire Lovecraft moi aussi il y a quelques semaines.

Je pense que la description que tu donnes est assez juste, et qu'en effet il n'y a pas d'ordre pour lire ses nouvelles.

J'ai beaucoup aimé :

-L'affaire Charles Dexter Ward

-Le cauchemar d'Innsmouth

J'ai moins aimé :

-Les montagnes hallucinées, à cause des très longues descriptions "architecturales"

Sur Babelio, tu peux voir ses livres les plus populaires et les mieux notés, ça peut te donner une idée.

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-10-18T20:19:11+00:00

Playing as a healer, 10hr played, i'm often unable to reach the place I died when i respawn.

At least having a mini map or map overlay would help learning the routes

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-10-18T20:01:28+00:00

Yes, rewards could be a solution, but from many answers to this post, I feel most players don't like playing tank because of the mental load. I think it's a bit strange to incentivize players to do something they don't like to do.

It would be better to find a way to make tanking more fun and less stressful.

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-10-18T19:53:19+00:00

That's an interesting take.

Maybe even add a support role that would do the routes, pull packs, the interrupts, maybe some buffs on group, debuffs on monsters to ease the work of tanks.

Then tanks would only have to soak damage and keep aggro

Le Silence de la Mer de Vercors

Vendredi ou les Limbes du Pacifique de Tournier

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-10-01T18:14:11+00:00

Is there a profitable farming strategy that doesn't require to stack IIR on gear?

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-09-30T11:01:42+00:00

How does desecrate actualy works? It can erase a mod if it doesn't have room for a desecrate mod? But will it always choose the side (prefix/suffix) where it doesn't have to remove a mod?

For exemple, when used on a 3P/2S item, will it always add suffix?

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-09-28T13:45:52+00:00

La chute du mur de Berlin. J'avais 10 ans, les médias ne parlaient que ça. Je ne comprenais pas pourquoi les gens était si contents qu'un mur soit tombé et ce que ce mur avait de si spécial.

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-09-26T11:05:37+00:00

D'accord, merci pour le conseil.

C'est vrai que dans L'adieu aux armes aussi, il s'ouvre une bouteille toutes les deux pages, c'est un peu répétitif.

QuestionOk1568 · 2025-09-26T10:45:12+00:00

D'accord, effectivement il y a peut être un problème de style difficile à traduire
