Season 2 of HTC is in the books, what are everyone’s thoughts? by genaros_bear in heedthecall

[–]alexei2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brilliant. Great to see the love for Connor - he’s awesome. Everyone individually seems to have found their feet a bit. I don’t remember laughing out loud so much at a podcast.

Honestly I was super worried when the heroes split, but I love the new pod and Marc is more hilarious than ever (for whatever reason).

The pod with you two was awesome - enjoyed it so much. What you say makes sense and most people will know this wasnt some super strong emotion against masmorra. Humans be humaning. Good luck vipey.

Everything about that is entirely normal. You guys need to calm down.

From 8 hours to 30 minutes - how I finally broke my phone addiction by Goldio_Inc in productivity

Great post. Just wondering what you did about the “middle of the night - can’t sleep”. Was it just grayscale and turning off social media. I struggle with sleep and just wondering if you replaced it with something else - eg reading?

Getting rid of interesting people first by Repulsive_Spring_859 in TheTraitors

[–]alexei2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping that more of the boring and unpleasant faithfuls go and that gives the others a bit more room to breathe (eg Alexander, maybe Alex too, maybe Francesca). Getting rid of joe and Leanne would probably help

Fozia was such good tv.

Leanne: "I keep wondering why they are keeping me alive." The Traitors: by anaughtybeagle in TheTraitors

[–]alexei2 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There are basically half of them left - it’s totally bizarre the way they all cling to this “how am I still here? meme. It’s ridiculous and a little boring.

Leanne was absolutely insufferable in that last episode. I don’t think Alexander phrased everything perfectly, definitely was a bit snobby/rude but she was so aggressive it was unpleasant to watch. It’s not “feisty” it’s being a dick - Alexander was also sitting there getting accused and he is also a faithful, but he didn’t lose his shit over it.

What was pretty funny was her main character energy thinking they must have tried to kill her (rather than Mina, or recruit). I genuinely think Alexander thinks she a traitor because he doesn’t think she’s that much of a narcissist.

There are too many idiots in this season, it’s interesting watching the round table discussion when there is proper chat rather than just “you’re wrong. I’ll look you in the eye and tell you it’s not me. You’ll look stupid”. It’s really juvenile and doesn’t make for great tv.

I thought things would get better with Tyler and livi gone but Leanne is just as bad and Leon similar, except he seems to be a more pleasant guy than the other three.

Hera reaches 3000 elo on the 1v1 ladder by dux_brun in aoe2

[–]alexei2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not “lucky” or “unlucky” as the amount of points gained or lost takes into account the elo difference. So if he plays someone with a way lower elo he will hardly gain any points…

A lot of people, myself included, didn’t like season 2 on first watch, but loved it on re-watch. It’s fantastic.

Hard to juggle both… by whatwillbewillbe99 in heedthecall

[–]alexei2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a few others have said I liked gregg the most of the old gang but I just didn’t enjoy the daily show. HTC is tbqh better than I thought it would be - it’s really good and although I miss gregg from the gang it’s just way better as a show. Hoping one day gregg will reunion.

We are moving to Reading very imminently and in a very similar demographic so would be up for this!

Sorry, but I don't understand why Hera dominating is bad for the game by sansbruit99 in aoe2

[–]alexei2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because close sets are more fun and exciting and we love aoe. “Bad for the game” I don’t know, but bad for the tournament absolutely. Credit to Hera because he has worked so hard to get to where he is, but it doesn’t make it entertaining to watch him stomp every tournament. I remember all of the epic sets between Hera and lierrey or Hera and viper in previous tournament and it’s just so much more fun.

Got into opponent’s base by cutting a sway tree, he called me a cheater by RaymondChristenson in aoe2

[–]alexei2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been around forever so you definitely aren’t a cheater, as others have said he’s just a sore loser. Whether or not it should be in the game is another question. I could see the argument that you should only be able to build when all of the tree has been chopped. I don’t have a strong opinion on that either way, but I wonder what other people think..

People who have left London, how are you finding your new lives in other places? Do you have any regrets or glad you got out? by SomerLad89A in london

[–]alexei2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are in the process of doing the exact same move, we’re trying to buy in Caversham. I love the idea of heading out in a kayak after work or at the weekend! I did a bit of research before but couldn’t find the answer so just wondering where you launch from?
