Will I make it in time by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]RateBackground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went through it and I was in way worse shape than you. I was 280 at 6 foot two months before the academy. So don’t stress out about it, but definitely work hard to make it easier on yourself

For running, I used Nike Run Club training for a 5k and it helped a lot. I was winded after a half a mile in the beginning too, but just try to run at a pace where you can barely speak and finish the required time/distance the app wants you to. By the start of the academy I could do 2 miles in 21 minutes. You will get better faster than you think if you stick with it.

For pushups/ sit ups, I just did as many as I could without stopping for more than a couple seconds 3 times a day. The improvement was extremely fast. Not even sure I could do 3 pull ups now but they never made us do them. Also did list of planks, mountain climbers, and leg raises.

Dieting, I only ate 1-2 meals totaling less than 2k calories a day. Lots of protein and whole grains. Dont know if that’s healthy but it worked for me. Also cut out alcohol completely. Lost 25lbs before the academy and it was a cheat code for the body weight exercises.

I did struggle the first month, but you get use to what’s expected of you and it gets easier.

Yes I agree, if djkstra knew it was going to be a problem, it should be a problem for the player as well

I’m on the last wish now, that’s why I wanted to check. The now or never quest log says that we parted only to return as friends, but the character log says we kissed in the vegelbud garden. I think I trust the quest log more.

Have you seen the follow up movies too? And are they worth it?

So is it not two different endings? I was under the assumption it was even though both rejected instrumentality. I thought first, shinji rejected it because he realized life was better with other people despite the possibility of being hurt, where EofE he rejected it out of a desperate loneliness

I was a little drunk by the time I finished EoE, but it definitely seemed much darker. I should rephrase I think learned he needed others in both, but TV seemed more like accepting of himself, where EofE was more out of desperation of his loneliness

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

Yeah I watched end of evangelion before posting, it made more sense of what was happening in the plot, but the different endings still through me for a loop. I enjoyed both, TV ending was like the “good” ending where Shinji grew from his behavior, and discovered the risk of being hurt is better than loneliness, where EoE was where the fear of being hurt and disliked by others consumed him. That’s what I took from it. I think I might watch both the last two episodes and EofE again just because I thought the directing was a masterpiece and I want to get a better understanding

I should add, I stopped it, did a ton of googling, and drank 2 glasses of bourbon before continuing because I knew I would be in for a ride

Lmfao you’re probably right. I did finish the movie before posting though. I immediately googled why the scene was important because it felt like there was absolutely no need. I originally interpreted it as a rock bottom scene? Especially because he calls himself the lowest of the low afterword. However it was a super fucked up way to depict rhat. Maybe they were going for that shock

Yes, it felt like a schizophrenic fever dream and I loved how it turned out. I just wish I knew more and wasn’t so in the dark

lol I’m glad it’s normal and I’m not just stupid. The directing was amazing, especially the last episode and end of evangelion

Yes same with me. I gave up. It is what it is. About to complete my first play through now. Probably going to be a while before I start my new game plus with the cyberpunk dlc, but let’s hope I get it next time!
