The Flood / Re: Have you ever been anxious from a missed phone call?
« on: December 19, 2020, 08:28:24 PM »
hmm not really. i only ever pick up the phone if it's someone i know. i always have my phone on me at all times, and i trust that if it's an emergency, theyll call repeatedly.

 also, if it doesnt have a name attached to it, i will not answer. is that a bad habit? yes. am i going to stop? no

ive heard thats a trait many, uh, gen z'ers share, is that true?

The Halo Xbox 360 titles are being shut-down in December 2021

im kinda impressed they managed to stay this long, halo 3 will be, what, 14 years old by 2021?

sure it sucks to see them go but i guess it had to happen sometime

Don't worry Alphy, there's the always the MCC, I say with a straight face.

oh i havent touched the xbox 360 in years lol

im just saying that id imagine it's part of a lot of people's childhoods, mine included

i do actually play the mcc regularly, and i dont mind it all

The Flood / Re: How do you pronounce lbs?
« on: December 18, 2020, 11:34:28 PM »
why is it even lbs anyway?
I'm sure there's some reason but it's never made much sense
"The libra (Latin for "scales / balance") is an ancient Roman unit of mass that was equivalent to approximately 328.9 grams It was divided into 12 unciae (singular: uncia), or ounces. The libra is the origin of the abbreviation for pound, 'lb'."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(mass)#:~:text=Roman%20libra,-Various%20historic%20pounds&text=The%20libra%20(Latin%20for%20%22scales,for%20pound%2C%20%22lb%22.

#justlatinthings

inb4 anyone says wikipedia is not a reliable source. I don't have the time to simply look for other websites that define what lb is appreviated for

huh, you learn something new everyday

The first season was mainly worldbuilding and character development. In season 2, the creators were free to do a lot more because they already established their setting and how each character relates to each other.

I'm just glad they followed up on the plots and characters from season 1 while still developing new ones. In particular,  it was amazing to see Victoria Van Gale reappear. The entirety of episode 5 had me crying by the end honestly. I relate a lot to Hilda, and to see VVG there was just devastating. Victoria has always been a darker, "what-if" version of Hilda if she were to grow up and lack the ability to control herself and hold herself back from making bad decisions.

Victoria and Hilda both have a passion for ingenuity and progression. They both want to help out people without thinking of the consequences. They have the same curiosity and desire to explore the unexplored. They both crave adventure.

But Hilda usually sees that her actions hurt people, and fixes her mistakes. Victoria is what Hilda could turn into, easily, if she doesn't recognize when to stop.  That's what makes VVG such a good foil to Hilda, and why she's one of the best antagonists on the show.

But speaking of that, the true antagonist of the show is actually Hilda's mom. She's the one who directly stands in the way of Hilda (for good reason) and I just love that season 2 explored this critical plot fixture. Hilda wants to share her awesome, crazy world with her friends and family. But it's a dangerous world, and she knows that. She thinks she has it under control, though. The fact of the matter is, Hilda is selfish. She wants to do these dangerous things even though it makes people worry about her and oftentimes can put them in actual danger.

But at the same time, Hilda is bringing these amazing experiences to her loved ones, and they usually actually enjoy them. It's an interesting source of tension, and the conflict between those two characters drives the entire show IMO.

I also just adore the new Safety Patrol characters. Erik Alhberg is such a great addition to the show. I'm almost certain that Zapp Brannigan was the inspiration for Erik's character. They share so many traits - the unearned self-importance, delusions of grandeur,  and a flair for the dramatic. The biggest difference is that Erik is a bit more self-aware than Zapp and much less insecure.

I'm just glad that Gerda, his deputy, didn't end up taking the role of Kif lol. When she realized her boss was an asshole at the end I was so happy. Those two characters really boosted the show in my opinion.

But anyway, I'm glad to see another Hilda fan on this site! It's really such a good show, and really underrated.

well said

i am never really one to think about shows a whole lot, but i can see your point about victoria being a "bad end" of sorts for hilda. i never thought about that, and yeah that episode was good, i wonder what shell do in the nowhere space

my favorite episode was probably the time travel one

and yea i definitely see that about her mom. im not sure if i would call her an antagonist (i usually associate antagonists with evil people) but i get what you mean. i think it's neat that hilda is completely innocent either, as she can be kind of a brat sometimes

but yeah im interested to see what they do next season

have you watched the latest season of hilda yet? i just finished it up earlier

obvious spoilers
gotta say, i enjoyed this season a lot more than the first. maybe im just remembering incorrectly, but i thought some episodes of the first season were kinda ehh, but this season had lots of good episodes

the last episode was interesting, i wonder if theyll go anywhere with the whole troll humanization thing... if you know what i mean

looks like therell be a third season, and when that happens ill most likely rewatch season 1 and 2 to judge it wholly

for those of you who dont watch this show, uhh talk about shows/movies/stuff youre watching

sorry lol

i remember really disliking some members on bungie, (i think it was more on bungie.next rather than the classic flood) specifically rc and vien, and maybe a few others

yall prolly dont even remember or even who i am/was, but it’s always stuck to me

i blame it on being a 13-15 year old brat, with the whole “i hate everything thats popular attitude”, and  i think ive mellowed out since then... but thats for others to decide not me

tldr: sorry if i was a bozo brat and said some potentially mean things

itt: uhh idk discuss old bungie friends & where you think they are now
