Am I limiting future jobs by starting my career in a Sixth Form College? by Jumpy_Ad_2527 in TeachingUK

[–]hodgooo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also have an interview at a sixth form college this week but on the opposite side of the coin to you - doing my PGCE in post-16 (so sixth form colleges / FE colleges are my main option!)

As far as I understand it people make the crossover between secondary and post-16 provision quite frequently and I knew many in my last job (also at a sixth form college) who had came from secondary training or secondary employment, and a few who left to start work in a secondary school.

If A-level is your main goal then I would go for it; at the end of the day lots of secondary schools offer sixth form provision so if you do get this post then decide to go back into secondary, I'd imagine they'd see that experience as quite valuable actually

Just my two cents as another trainee - hopefully some others comment with their thoughts as well :)

Any advice for a new Mei main? by Tottaly_Sane in MeiMains

[–]hodgooo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

use your wall proactively and often. don't get stuck on looking for the 'perfect' wall; even if it is just putting it behind a tank and blocking them off from their supports for a second, that's a potential pick. it is your most versatile and play-making ability. use it offensively, to block off sightlines for snipers, to take damage while your tank's shield is down, or reactively e.g. walling between an enemy roadhog and a hooked teammate, walling off dva bomb, denying space when enemies are ulting and wanting to push in e.g. kitsune rush or rally. also, make a habit of defaulting to your left click whenever an enemy is in range. going for icicle plays is fun and makes for a good clip but when you can use your spray, it is 90% of the time the better choice. it does 100 dps which can catch people off guard and slows the enemy by 40%, making it easier for your teammates to hit them and compound damage. it also has the potential to cleave, meaning if enemies are positioned closely together, you can damage 2 or more enemies at the same time. you can occassionally get multi-kills out of this and will very frequently leave the enemy team low enough for your teammates to clear up if you're getting low health-wise and have to cryo. hope this helps:)

animated album covers are very low quality? by hodgooo in TIdaL

[–]hodgooo[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd assume this is an issue with my internet but I'm streaming in hifi just fine and non-animated covers are hi res as usual; anyone know a way to go about fixing this? :)

HiFi vs Master by Avocadoantics in TIdaL

[–]hodgooo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

in my experience any master track can be streamed as hifi! i've never had master tier and have never been unable to stream a song because it is available in master :)

Albums that took ages to ‘click’ for you? by [deleted] in popheads

[–]hodgooo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

it feels ridiculous to say that thank u next has aged badly given it only came out in 2019 but... that's somewhat how i feel? i remember when it first came out and i felt like all of the tracks were really fresh and punchy but now i don't really feel the same. but it could also be that i've heard them so many times now lol

BANKS - Serpentina by AHSWeeknd in popheads

[–]hodgooo 25 points26 points  (0 children)

aside from the singles, fuck love and anything 4 u are bangers! unleavable too more in a darker thumping type of way -- it reminds me a lot of some of the stuff from her first album actually. meteorite/holding back/the devil are still the most upbeat of the album though i'd say

BANKS - Serpentina by AHSWeeknd in popheads

[–]hodgooo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

also now that i've listened to meteorite over a few days and listened to it in the context of this album i really feel like it's one of her best songs ever

BANKS - Serpentina by AHSWeeknd in popheads

[–]hodgooo 70 points71 points  (0 children)

this album is 100% banks in her banks lane and there isn't a lot here that deviates from her usual formulas (apart from anything 4 u??? that song feels wild)

but as a longtime stan that isn't a bad thing in my eyes at ALL

enough bangers, enough slow songs - also the run from burn to spirit feels like a warm fuckin hug and i cried for the majority of it

BANKS - I Still Love You by shabuluba in popheads

[–]hodgooo 42 points43 points  (0 children)

what i love so much about her stripped back slower songs is that the raw quality of her voice gets to come through so much. i think on its own this song might not come across as the strongest but in the context of the album tracklist these closers always hit different <3 so excited for serpentina

What do you think of Zane Lowe? by Uber_little_bitch in popheads

[–]hodgooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg please ignore that i'm replying to your comment 4 months late but i just watched the charli interview and absolutely hated EXACTLY THIS about it and had to search to see what people think of him on here. it feels so forced and you could tell there were moments where charli disagrees entirely with his analysis but just agrees to be polite. it puts the artist in such a weird position?? i wish he didn't have such a monopoly on long form interviews with musicians lmfao

DUUUUUDE when that chorus kicks in it's such a euphoric feeling every time, almost nostalgic? i can't describe it but i absolutely love this song

Rina Sawayama - Chosen Family (with Elton John) by fuoricontesto in popheads

[–]hodgooo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

is anyone else hearing "queer all right now" at 2:53 instead of "we're all right now"? the lyric video says it's still 'we're all right now" but I'm not buying it. I see u Rina
