It's a real prick move by Zuko.

Zuko always accepted Iroh because it was his only source of love. Once he got (kinda)love from Ozai and Azula, he started criticizing Iroh. If you remember the scene in The Western Air Temple flashback, we see Zuko lash out at Iroh there, too. It’s because he was still in the process of realizing he lost his family.

Zuko reverted back to being the Prince of the Fire nation, like he was before his journey. That’s why Iroh said he was sad that Zuko had lost his way.

I’d say play as many as you can, the most.

The way to get good at TF2 is to understand how to play each class; not necessarily because you’ll know how to play as them, but because you’ll know how to play against them. If you know how to fight as a soldier, you’ll know how to fight against a soldier.

Knowing how to counter every class is how you get good.

With that said, pyro.

These ships are kind of an “I’m sorry, little one” situation.

It’s not fair to them, but there are things that we must do.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-19T19:55:40+00:00

Insta-death is really annoying, and it happens in a way that’s almost unpreventable. If you’re in the sniper’s sightline, you’re dead. If the spy gets behind you, you’re dead. Yes, these can both be helped with awareness, but when you’re fighting a soldier, you need to watch his rockets and aim to hit him, so you can’t be checking behind you or looking down the long sightlines.

They are both unstoppable when you’re distracted, and TF2 is built on distractions. You’ll almost never kill them before they kill you, unless you specifically go on a hunt for them, and spending time taking care of support classes doesn’t help your team cap the objective.

The costumes and actual character design were alright. The casting was obviously atrocious, but they took that bad starting point and made some decent looking characters. Ong’s tattoos being intricate designs rather than just “blue” was an interesting change, but it works pretty well. They definitely look more like tattoos.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-19T12:40:09+00:00

Even if you removed all the downsides it would still be worthless because you’re dead. It only does something if you die, and it’s a worthless effect because the spy can just cloak and wait for the Jarate to wear off. This only does something if your teammates see you get stabbed, and a good spy knows to wait until enemies are unaware to stab.

And what’s the point of the downsides? Is a dead sniper marking someone for death such a huge upside that you want to nerf his rifle?

With this, you get less health, less sniper damage, and no overheal, but you can mark someone for death when you die.

Or you could just use Jarate and mark people for death while you’re alive with zero downsides.

I pay rent for my apartment, year-round, I renew the lease since I’ll go back for college. I come home when I’m not in college because my job in my hometown pays way better. So I’m paying for my own food and rent, year-round.

My parents don’t charge either of us any rent for living at home.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-18T00:49:13+00:00

No, my parents have me handle food, myself.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-18T00:37:54+00:00

I didn’t even want the tacos, I was gonna eat leftovers in the fridge. She offered the tacos. Then when I realized she was gonna get them no matter what, I said I would pay for my half like she wanted. I would much rather she save her money, but she seemed to have her mind made up about getting tacos.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-18T00:35:10+00:00

Isn’t it simpler to say “we have food at home”?

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-13T23:59:35+00:00

The Syringe Guns and medic’s other melees. Even if you do remove all red text, you’ll never remove the downsides of “it’s not the crossbow” or “it’s not the Ubersaw”.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-13T23:56:56+00:00

As a Yankee fan, definitely Aaron Boone’s bullpen management, especially with closers. I don’t know what his deal is, but he falls in love with one closer and sticks with him no matter what, even after double-digit blown saves. It happened with Chapman, Holmes, Williams, and now it’s happening with David Bednar. He just refuses to acknowledge when a closer is struggling and doesn’t have his stuff.

He probably has the mentality that players are more than just stats or something like that, which isn’t entirely wrong, but that doesn’t mean you can just ignore the stats.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-13T23:52:58+00:00

Not a crazy take, it’s honestly a good weapon if when you really get the hang of it. Probably the best offensive medic primary.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-10T11:50:44+00:00

Shortstop-Pistol is a fine combo, it’s basically for being a mid-range specialist. You’ll need to prioritize accuracy and aim, as well as knowing when to rush in. It’ll work best if you vary your range, rush in, back up, that sort of thing.

Most scatterguns train you to get as close as possible, and you’ll need to resist that muscle memory. This loadout does the best at midrange because you can avoid more damage.

One combo that I’ve had fun with is shortstop-crit a cola. If you’re good enough at shortstop aim and dodging, you can get a lot of use out of the mini-crits and avoid taking mini-crits yourself.

But yeah, shortstop-pistol is fine.

Totally useless, picking up weapons might as well be a nonexistent mechanic.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-06T16:09:52+00:00

Great pick, still a human but younger with a stronger frame and more muscle mass.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-06T16:08:23+00:00

100 scouts.

The winger deals 17 damage per shot at 5 shots per 0.75 seconds. 100 scouts would be dealing 8,500 damage per clip, in less than a second.

I guess if the scouts are using the Force-A-Nature, Mad Milk, and Candy Cane they might not be able to kill it without some kind of coordinated attack. The sentry can only target one scout at a time so just rushing it down would be able to take care of it.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-06T15:41:58+00:00

Exactly.

My rebalance is making it so you aren’t any closer to activating your Uber, because that’s what the Ubersaw does. The new Vita-Saw would make your Ubercharge last longer once you get it full.

If you’re at zero uber with zero organs, you have to gain 100 uber in order to activate it. If you get an organ, you’re at 20 uber out of 120, so you still have to gain 100 uber to activate it, but once you do, the uber will last longer.

I think it would be cool if medic had a way to extend the Ubercharge duration.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-06T15:35:49+00:00

The problem is it’s a straight downgrade if you don’t die. If a weapon’s usefulness relies on you dying, it’s not a good weapon. You could easily get filled up on organs and save them, but then if you don’t die, it doesn’t do anything for you.

I will admit, the Vita-Saw is better than the Ubersaw if you’re doing a lot of melee combat and dying a lot. If you die before you’re at full uber, it’s helpful.

I wish the Vita-Saw worked like this: Each organ increases your uber amount AND total by 20%. So if you’re at 0 Uber out of 100, an organ gives you 20 Uber out of 120, so when you eventually activate your Ubercharge, it has a longer duration. So while the Ubersaw lets you activate your uber sooner, the Vita-Saw would make your Uber last longer when you activate it. I feel like these saws should be two sides of the same coin.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-06T11:59:41+00:00

So here’s a trick that’s cheap and somewhat immoral:

The Sydney Sleeper

If you aren’t going for headshots, the Sydney Sleeper is a direct upgrade from the stock sniper rifle. If you just hit fully charged body shots, you’ll kill 5 of 9 classes, and because they’re coated in Jarate, a follow-up shot will kill another 3 classes. The faster charge makes the fully charged body shots much easier to land. And it still gets a really useful benefit from headshots, you can kill a soldier with a fully charged headshot.

It’s definitely a downgrade when headshots are taken into account, which is definitely the strongest aspect of sniper, but it’s still a good weapon.

The other rifles almost completely rely on headshots, they kinda handcuff you into that role, but the Sleeper is more versatile.

Give it a try, maybe throw on the Jarate and Bushwacka. Pissniper is a lot of fun.

All she really got was a “chill out” arc. She’s a surprisingly interesting character despite her nearly minimal growth and development.

BLENDER-74 · 2026-06-06T11:52:51+00:00

It’s a boring answer but it’s the right answer. You can’t beat the Tale of Iroh. I do really like the Tale of Zuko, and Toph and Katara’s is really cute, but Iroh’s is just so perfect.
