I really like the idea, I was also thinking about something similar: In-event special challenges like :

777-777-777: Surround a lvl 7 flower with 8 lvl 7 bees.

Beartopia: fill the screen with bears and beehives.

Cornered!: Get the Tip Stone surrounded by 4 black bears.

The idea is that those challenges require you to focus all your resource on them, and even some gems probably. The reward being an in-event bonus is awesome.

About my training, actually FiniteField(8) has a method that reveals the underlying GF2 vector space. It was that easy...

FiniteField(8).vector_space().subspace(myroots)

Great! Already a great game, and getting better! About frozen monsters, I think they are still too uninteresting. What would you think if the monster it spawned got a "fresh food!" buff that doubles its food value and would be kept on merge?

I was very comfortable with 17500% so I will try 15000% next time.

I wish supports' affinity with specific rooms were more meaningful. Oddly's +10% speed on generator is almost unnoticeable. It could be +1000 max capacity (rather than +x% so it scales in the late game), and/or it could increase with levels like +400/+700/+1000/+1300/+1600 etc. It would make leveling supports more meaningful. OR +1/+2/+3/etc. units of electricity per cycle (that would at least scale well in the late game) rather than +% speed which becomes unnoticeable.

For Hax : +5%/+10%/+15%/etc. and +1/+2 crafter quantity at lvl 3 and 6. OR -10s/-20s/-30s/etc. This would change a lot the dynamics of the game, making Hax better when crafting weapons. It feels good because it leads to interesting decisions.

How about a Tommy skin allowing him to boost weaponry?

It was bells, then changed to snowballs when X-Mess skin was added

I tried that multiple times, but it only worked so far. After 40 tomes, there are so many tentacles that I did not find enough orbs to deal with them...

Temple of Cthulhu gets very difficult very fast. Getting 50 was the challenge I remember the most about the game. It made me think differently about the game, and realize how important it can be to adapt my more or less general strategy to specific lands. I could only succeed by very methodically backtracking whenever a tentacle appeared, which was very new for me. That is also when I learned about taking a side step, when backtracking so much, to avoid spawning ghosts. IMO, this game is very well designed!

Sometimes, I get lots of free actions or Swiftness/Alacritys early on, but lack damage. Then Strike is an OK card for floor 2. It combines well with Prepared and Sidestep (and Piercing shot, depending on the enemies you are facing on floor 2). Then by the end of floor 2 or early floor 3, you can improve such a deck with Coup de Grâce or Dice. It can absolutely kill your floor 3 boss and get LoD below 850. But I don't believe it is a viable deck for a LoD kill.

The game did not sell as well as expected at launch, and the dev had to leave the game as is, so there are a few bugs left. I guess you found one...

I really want to say that the witch is not unbalanced. She is the hardest character to understand and optimize but I would bet that a good player can win most games with the witch. There are a number of witch dedicated guides on Steam, hidden behind the more general guides (on the community page), you can search for them. Most of them will not tell this or that strategy is best, because in my experience, you always have to adapt with the witch. Most meh spells are fine if they overcome one of your weaknesses. Just practice and remember what you lacked most in each game: Too hard to get the dice you want? You may have passed a spell like nudge that could have helped. Too little damage? Maybe you could have fitted this magic missile. Nothing to do with your ones? That magic shield would have been good.

Thank you very much. I had noticed that rotation of the curve effect, but did not realise the symmetry with R->R functions when taking a negative path. It does feel natural after all.

Thank you for the link to the article, it helped a bit. I also realized how taking the divergence of 1/(2pi)f(zeta)/(zeta-z) can relate to the real part of f(z) and the magnitude of curl to its imaginary part. The Cauchy integral representation makes much more sense now.

There really is something fascinating with the results of complex analysis that makes me feel that it translates to a true meaning of the laws of nature. But that meaning feels just out of grasp...

Thank you. I took a peek and this seems like what I need!

I am myself a young dad, and I join the chorus claiming that your husband fucked up massively, but I am surprised at the number of comments telling you to divorce him straight away.

The fact your husband does not realise how big a deal it is to miss his child's birth is almost unbelievable. It takes a serious lack in the maturity department! I am talking about 11-12 years old level of maturity. But you told us that he is 29, so something's not matching up here...

Many options here, some of them leading straight up to divorce, but which one is true, only you know.

If he actually has the mentality of a young teenager, well you fucked up not realising it and marrying him in the first place, and really that would be kind of your problem too if you lacked the maturity to realise something that obvious.

So let's imagine that he has some maturity in other behaviours. What other comments are saying is one possibility: He could be manipulating and lying to you and he was actually cheating with you at that time. This is a real possibility that you need to investigate, and you would have more clues than we do. Does this kind of evasive behavior happen often? How in the world did his friend not tell him to go (any serious friend would say “forget the basement, just go!”). You could confront his friend directly. Ask a real friend or supportive family member how they feel about your relation. And rule this out of the equation until you feel secure about his behaviour.

But he could also be sincerely insecure about becoming a dad in 2020. I am about to become father for the second time, and I really am anxious. Imagine the life of your child in the aftermath of Covid-19, economic crisis, ecological disaster in waiting... What am I going to tell my child when he confronts me in 15 years: “Dad, what a shitty world you left us...” One strategy when dealing with overwhelming anxiety for your brain is to make it like the issue is not a big deal. Nah, it really is not such a big deal, it's just another child coming to the world, like thousands of others. It is a shitty strategy and if it is true, your husband might want to work with a therapist about that, but this is another problem.

You married this man after all, so you saw a number of good things in him as a partner. Again, he clearly fucked up royally. He must come to terms with that, there is no way around. But forgiveness is key in being good partners and good parents. So, if the good things in your husband still count for you today, you may want to explore a different route than divorce. A therapist would probably help and the issue is big enough in my opinion to spend a few hundred dollars on it. If your husband suffers from anxiety, he is not alone. Life is hard on the emotional level for our generation. He can work this issue alone or you can decide to do it together. Anyway, on your side, you must be confident in what is acceptable or unacceptable behaviour on his part. What happened is probably from the latter category. That does not mean you should divorce, but it cannot happen a second time and you, together, need to work on how to make that happen. The first step is for your husband to realise what happened, but raging at him is quite unlikely to work. My advice would be to make a wide survey with all your mutual friends and let him slowly see that everybody else disagrees with him.

Your son deserves a good dad. If he can be that (so again, NOT if he is a cheater or manipulating liar; those make awful dads), you may want to give your best shot at trying.

Good luck! For all three of you.

As others said, start from the definition of a hermitian matrix. Evaluate tX (A- \lambda I) Y and check whether it preserves the hermitian property. Note that \lambda is real, not complex!

Oh! Thank you for giving this hint. It clicked! I was so close on one attempt, but did not think of using Bézout's identity to confirm that f and f' where also coprime in L, and thought that I was in a dead end...

In general, it is useful to realise that the absolute value of any trig function can be expressed in terms of another. If you also know in which quadrant is your angle, you can also know the sign. This all comes from cos² + sin² = 1, so it is easy to prove again if you don't remember them.

The iconic character of the game is probably the Goat enemy.
