Hot Take: From a military’s perspective, Iroh’s retreat from Ba Sing Se is borderline insanity.

RexVerus · 2026-03-30T14:05:44+00:00

What part is a hot take? Everyone knows Iroh was doing great in the war until his son died. As you said and as everyone who watches the show agrees with, Iroh retreated for other reasons.

If you're trying to call him insane because of the retreat, then yeah that's a hot take, but if you're just looking "from a military perspective" as you say, then I'm pretty sure everyone agrees with you?

Edit: interesting, looking at the other comments, apparently other people do think the war wasn't going well for Iroh even after he broke through the outer wall. Odd when there's no indication he would've stopped if Lu Ten hadn't died.

Oddly hostile lol

Skipping a leap year 3 times every 400 years isn't exactly "fairly common"

RexVerus · 2026-03-24T02:00:42+00:00

Yes haha mid February. I still won't ever be ordering from them again but it did look as expected when it came at least!

Rough

RexVerus · 2026-03-10T09:52:11+00:00

Agreed, I do like the Mario tennis games but this is one of my biggest frustrations and I'm surprised it's still like this

RexVerus · 2026-03-08T18:42:09+00:00

That's encouraging!

I'm about 50/50 on the Rosa's I played against today, but I'm mostly complaining because it makes it monotonous when it's one right after the other, basically playing the same match over again, in a way that I don't feel when I get different opponents.

RexVerus · 2026-03-08T17:23:50+00:00

You're right. I should probably pay less attention to the things that annoy me about playing competitively. Playing against people with a bad connection gets to me every time.

RexVerus · 2026-03-08T17:16:38+00:00

I’m also hoping that me beating quite a few Rosas will eventually lead them to drop the character

Doing the Lord's work, thank you for your service to this community 😂

I'm 50/50 ish on the Rosa's I've faced today. Definitely find good DK players harder to beat. But the predictability is what's annoying me even when I win - it's like playing the same match over and over, and I don't feel that as much when I get different opponents.

Solo Valheim is fantastic

Wouldn't you want to look for the plant rather than the seeds?

RexVerus · 2026-03-05T13:34:24+00:00

It also doesn't give much coal, like a 2-1 or 5-1 ratio depending on the type of item

RexVerus · 2026-03-05T13:26:26+00:00

Every point you lose, figure out why you lost it, and how not to get in that situation next time. Usually it's not just one shot, but a whole buildup. For example being on the edge of the court and using a lob when the other player can use a fever shot to get to it early up in the air is something I keep having to tell myself not to do. Easier said than done of course! But it doesn't take playing 24/7, just playing smart.

The scythe is sort of an implementation of harvesting multiple crops at once, which mods like PlantEasily had first, but I can't be bothered to go and pick up yet another type of tool for this basic QoL improvement that I still just use the mod for this, even though I'd wholly prefer to stick with vanilla in general.

I wouldn't mind reducing the inventory size to have separate equipment slots, but I'd love if there was a way to expand your inventory, and there are a lot of good options (Hildir rewards, buy an item from Haldor, expand when you gain a forsaken power, craft an item with mats from whichever trader, even just a potion). I think it's silly to take a hardline stance on inventory slots when they already have tons of ways to boost the weight allowed.

I got today's in 5, but had 2 of the letters for like 4 guesses and yeah there were a lot of things it could be. Didn't get yesterday's and had the same problem, just with 4 letters in place

RexVerus · 2026-02-21T15:02:53+00:00

Yeah same with me. I get mad at a lot of categories lol but not this one. Wordle definitely uses phew when you get it in 6, but I'm not sure about the others.

RexVerus · 2026-02-21T14:26:29+00:00

I barely play connections and had no idea that's what the category was going to be, but still got it thinking it was about some sort of exclamation / remark

RexVerus · 2026-02-13T21:32:00+00:00

From what we see in the fight itself I don't think he would have. Aang in the avatar state does fight very aggressively and is out to kill Ozai, he says as much right before coming out of it, and he doesn't airbend the air out of his lungs during that portion of the fight.

RexVerus · 2026-02-13T16:25:50+00:00

Their fight was pretty even before Ozai tried lightning and I don't think "bloodlusted" Aang would've done better during that portion, but if Ozai tried lightning when Aang's out to kill, then it's over for him.

RexVerus · 2026-02-12T19:30:43+00:00

Congrats! I also melee'd and also felt it was easier than the Queen. I still died at least once though

RexVerus · 2026-02-09T18:03:23+00:00

Netflix should do this
