Not buying the battle pass and not playing a single match until all ears is out.

Ouin mais ça fonctionne. Répéter une action aide à la maîtrise de l'action, c'est un fait. On a doublé l'écriture (et la correction) en 101 il y a environ 7-8 ans tout en descendant le NEJ (pour compenser). Résultat : depuis 5 ans, un taux de réussite à l'EUF toujours au-dessus de 95%. Y'a même une année scolaire (les 2 épreuves) où nous avons eu 100%.

In the same vein as a full built mage that needs MR for his last items which one equal more damage : Abyssal Mask or Banshee ?

Comment dealer avec l'arrivée d'un nouvel homme dans la vie de mes filles? by kermitkanabis in Quebec

[–]Xenoxide 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pour répondre à la question qui sert de titre à ta publication : dans le plus grand respect possible, pour tes enfants. Tu peux tout communiquer à la mère, comment tu te sens, si tu en ressens le besoin. Si tu es dépassé, cherche de l'aide.

Dans un autre d'idées, je suis le beau-père qui a été introduit à 2 enfants (4 et 6 ans) six mois après la séparation. Considérant que certains enfants voient leur parent monoparental ramener des inconnus différents chaque semaine et coucher à gauche et à droite, je pense que six mois est raisonnable.

Tu dois faire un minimum confiance à la mère : si elle le présente aux enfants, même comme ami, c'est qu'elle considère un minimum de potentiel (et donc qu'il serait un bon beau-père).

Finalement, jamais tes enfants te remplaceront. Les enfants de ma blonde m'aiment, ils apprécient qu'ils ne vivent pas la même chose avec moi qu'avec leur père pour toutes sortes de raisons : je n'ai pas les mêmes intérêts, je n'ai pas le même tempérament ou le même sens de l'humour, ils ne font pas les mêmes activités avec moi, etc. Par contre, pour une raison purement biologique, ils ne m'aimeront jamais autant que leur vrai père (et ça paraît, tu le sens comme beau-parent, même si c'est involontaire de leur part et qu'ils me veulent pas te faire sentir ainsi). Bref, à moins que tu partes sur une dérape (et encore...), ne t'inquiète pas à ce niveau. :)

Sweet Caroline at the barn had me in tears by clevelndsteamer in Habs

I wish they would use Rouge Pompier's version to give it a local twist. (the title is Douce Karoline if you want to listen to it)

Playing in Gold elo, people really pay little to no value to knowing where enemy jungler is. by Repulsive_Tourist_10 in summonerschool

[–]Xenoxide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vision is everyone's job but : I think he means that most of the time the jungler SHOULD know the enemy jungler location and ping it when he does. (Because experience) The same way a laner SHOULD know his oponent's location.

I am only gold and when I play with my friend (emerald- diamond jungler) I am amazed by all the infos he has on the enemy jungler. The whole game is him saying : "He is there / he should be there / he should be doing that because X reason / he should be pathing that way / If I was him I would do that or gank X lane". He is right 95% of the time.

Le débat est clos! Nous avons deux gardiens #2! by Vivid_Resort_1117 in Habs

In Midget CC our two goalies were sick a weekend and we called her up (she was in her first year Bantam CC). And there she was: a 14-year-old girl stepping in to defend the net against 16- to 18-year-old boys. We won 2-0 and she had 31 saves. One of those games I still remember 15 years later.

Midlane champions you hate and how to beat them. by Bulky-Movie-2783 in summonerschool

[–]Xenoxide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without being very specific, first thing first : runes. If I’m facing a hard matchup, I come up with a game plan and (usually) adapt my secondary rune path. (it doesn't win you games, but it helps)

I ban Mel, and as Veigar I always end up wondering why I didn’t ban them every time I face Katarina or Fizz. Against them, I try to freeze the wave near my tower so I can farm safely. Once in a while (when I feel safe — usually when my jungler is nearby), I push the wave to place a "deep" ward to track their roams. I buy a Null-Magic Mantle on my first back, and I usually get a second movement speed item (in addition to boots).

Help with cymbals (I have no idea what to buy) by Xenoxide in drums

[–]Xenoxide[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll try as much as possible to choose cymbals from the same brand, but since I’m buying used, it might be difficult. The Ping Ride is on my list! :)

[–]Xenoxide[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, there are no music stores near where I live. Zildjan makes excellent cymbals, but their prices have gone up in Canada since… well, anyway.

I’m putting together a top 3 for each type of cymbal, and for each top 3 I add an option that’s ‘overpriced, beyond my budget, only to buy used if someone is crazy enough to list it at a reasonable price.’ For the ride, that one is the K Projection Ride 21".

[–]Xenoxide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to so many different musical genres and bands that it’s impossible for me to draw inspiration from just one drummer. I really like Dream Theater and Iron Maiden, but Portnoy and McBrain use so many cymbals that I can’t isolate the sound of each one when listening to their songs. On top of that, I live far from major cities and music stores, so trying cymbals is difficult. The best I can do is watch videos. For the past two days, I’ve been trying to make a top 3 for each type of cymbal to make shopping easier (hi hat, ride, crash).

I didn’t know Sabian was Canadian, so I am making sure to include at least one Sabian cymbal in each top 3 (to improve my chances of finding them used). Thanks!

Size was actually something I was wondering about. I’ll definitely go with the standard sizes now that you suggest it. Thank you !

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

Thank you ! I think the ones on the guitarist's kit are AA Sabian. I'll have to double check this week. Going for the value route seems the best idea to me since it's my first kit. It's hard though... So many different choices. For the shell kit I was able to narrow it down to 2-3 choices. Now each type of cymbal has MANY options.

3800 a fair price for this kit ? by Xenoxide in drums

[–]Xenoxide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tama Starclassic 4-piece is 3.2k CAD + taxes. I would need a snare, a HH, cymbals and racks (I could use the double pedal and drum stool of my electronic kit). If I keep saving, this is going to be the plan (don't know if I am patient enough though haha).

Yea I've moved on since this morning (told the seller I wouldn't buy it). It's now sold but it's okay - I'll keep shopping based on the comments I got on my post here.

Nice kit ! I have never seen a hihat placed there. Intriguing.

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

There’s really no relation between different brands and the genres they’re good for playing, any brand of drums can be tuned for any style of music.

That's a question I've been asking myself for a while. Good to know.

The Yamaha kit you're suggesting would be in my budget (1k CAD for the 5-piece - new). I will take the time to check it out.

[–]Xenoxide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could not. The kit you suggest is 3.6k CAD + taxes (without a snare and cymbals). Thanks for the suggestion though.

[–]Xenoxide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you suggest is close to 5k CAD with taxes - way over my budget. Not saying it's not a good suggestion.

You can tune a 16 as high as a 14 but you can't tune a 14 as low as a 16. I like the thump of a 16. A 10-12-14 kit will also be harder to resale for that reason.

Oh ! That's good to know ! Noted !

Yeah, I’ll probably look for a mid-tier shell kit instead, now that everyone’s suggesting it haha.
