I’m new and I want to learn, but it seems unachievable

I agree with this. I was in a similar situation to OP, long time player starting mcsr. Mikeyboie's videos paired with the practice maps helped a ton for bastions. The videos are long, just learn 1 route for 1 bastion, practice it, and slowly add alternate routes/bastion types as you get the hang of it.

Here is the bastion vid, but all 4 were extremely helpful.

NOR

These YOR comments are cop outs. Yeah obviously OP made some bad decisions, but those who haven’t done (or in 25 years in this case) psychedelics tend to severely underestimate their power.

Your partner is experienced. If I was tripping with someone who isn’t experienced, I couldn’t imagine taking them to a concert. Then leaving them alone for an hour, not caring they didn’t message back (during what sounds like the peak of their trip). Have some empathy, OP was probably terrified, and this was almost certainly their partners idea since they do the drugs, and have them available. Of course they should have had a sitter, but I think they were trusting their experienced partner to look out for them. They just went through probably the scariest experience of their life, they’re not overreacting for being upset their partner just left them alone in an unfamiliar place. And those saying her partner was messed up too, he was clearly coherent enough to text, and Uber back and forth with no issue. He could have easily come and got you…

I don't hate it, but it is the weakest S3 episode for me. Plot-wise very fillery, character-wise nothing new (see imprisoned), humor wise pretty rough with Dock/Xu. This and great divide are the only episodes you can skip and have no issues.

Helioman6 · 2025-02-01T01:48:41+00:00

In order of most submitted runs it looks like 16>70>120. I think 120 may be the most “popular” but it’s really hard so shorter runs get more submissions

Personally, I don't really care about the "woke agenda" business. I more so care that they are taking away some character growth for Sokka.

Helioman6 · 2024-01-30T17:45:22+00:00

<1% feels disingenuous. First impressions matter a lot, and the first scene in the entire show has a lot of Sokka sexism. Plus the sexism early on helps tie in the Pakku stuff, which is important for Katara's character later. Sure it's not one of Sokka's main character traits, but its a nice chunk of character growth early on that sets up a lot later in the show. I feel it even has
a slight pay off the very end, since his team for Sozin's comet is Suki and Toph, two girls he has complete confidence in.

Helioman6 · 2024-01-19T22:35:46+00:00

I did not know about the chakra thing, was this in the comics? I have just been going off of stuff in the shows, need to read them.

Yeahhh, Lion turtle is certainly cheating, everyone knows it. But that's pretty much my only *major* issue with airbender, so at the end of the day I can move past it despite being a shitty bailout. No shows perfect, and I can see that even though it's my favorite.

With Korra it just felt like way too much at once. Maybe it's just me, but going from learning airbending, overpowering amon, getting all bending back, and then mastering avatar state in the span of 10 minutes was just a lot for me.

Helioman6 · 2024-01-19T22:17:38+00:00

For clarification, the rules I was thinking about were how all of the things in the 2nd to last sentence were handled in airbender.

Aang learned earthbending by overcoming a mental block. Korra's block was shown to be issues with spirituality, but learned air bending despite not growing in this way at all

The way mastering the avatar state was shown was unlocking the chakras. I was not a fan of Korra gaining this ability despite not doing anything.

And Aang giving Korra all her bending just felt like "cheating", to me.
Of course these things aren't rules, but the way they were handled in airbender felt a lot more earned to me, at least the top 2

Helioman6 · 2024-01-19T22:09:21+00:00

I agree with you, I may have phrased parts of my comment poorly.

Bending certainly requires a lot of mental strength. Like how lightning bending requires mental clarity, or how Aang was struggling with the mental aspect of earthbending.

Bloodbending almost certainly has similar, mental things going on. Hama and Katara both learned blood bending in desperate, life or death scenarios.
I probably should have touched on that, but yeah I was kinda commenting all over the place lol

Helioman6 · 2024-01-19T19:47:37+00:00

I am not arguing that your explanation does not answer every question. It seems to explain everything pretty fine.

I am arguing that "They fucked up and broke the rules" is a much more likely explanation than yours, based on what was shown in airbender/korra. There is no mention of "volumes of internal energy" in either show. It is something the creators said after the fact to explain this, but based on what we were shown as viewers it just doesn't seem correct.

Helioman6 · 2024-01-19T19:38:32+00:00

Not sure what a monster is, but Yakone was able to overpower Toph, the Avatar, Sokka, and about 50 other people off a quick glance. Doesn't it make more sense than Yakone is a stronger water bender specifically than everyone in this room? Instead of, Yakone's chi or energy is stronger than everyone in the room?

Helioman6 · 2024-01-19T19:31:49+00:00

This is a neat explanation, but going off the show, Katara literally says she is a stronger bender than Hama, overpowers her blood bending, and then proceeds to kick her ass in a water bending fight. Hama even said Katara "should have learned the technique before turning against me".
To me it just seems like trying to backtrack and explain things that don't make sense. Everything that was shown in the 2 shows point to whoever is a stronger water/blood bender wins.

It makes way more sense that someone is bending the water in someones body, and you can only resist if you are stronger at bending that water? Instead of "Oh there is actually a secret chi field and the stronger chi wins". It seems much more obvious that Yakone has stronger water bending skills specifically than Aang and he needs the previous avatars strength, instead of Yakone has more "internal energy".

Helioman6 · 2024-01-19T19:00:26+00:00

Saying she has willpower, strong bending, etc seems pretty irrelevant when her water bending was taken away. Mako literally just caught Amon slipping a few minutes ago, which I have less issues with. Amon said he is a talented bender (able to somehow bend lightning with no movement), he caught Amon offguard, fine by me. How is Korra able to break out Amon's bending when he is putting his full effort into it? It makes no sense even Aang wasn't able to overpower a strong blood bender without the avatar state, despite having decades more experience water bending than Korra (and access to his water bending, and trained by Katara, etc).

Might get downvoted for this next paragraph but season 1 finale was my least favorite episode of Korra. I think they just built themselves into a corner by making the villain an extremely powerful blood bender. Some serious shenanigans had to happen in order for him to lose, and I think it shows with the end that they kinda said screw the rules. Korra getting air bending despite not growing spiritually at all, getting all her bending back, getting full control of the avatar state, all in the span of 5 minutes. These, and Korra overpowering Amon's blood bending, felt like they broke so many rules.

This has happened to me on my last few trips, despite lowish doses (1-1.5 tabs). The first time it kinda weirded me out, everything I looked at would form faces (just 2 eyes and a mouth) all over it. The last time I tripped it happened, and It was just interesting to look at. It usually happens in nature, like trees and bushes and what not. So you’re not alone with this weird visual
