I did not know Jeric. But what I did know was that he was definitely someone to look up to. To me, he was the face of the forums, he was everywhere, probably the most interactive of the staff. I also interacted with his wife Jessi a couple of times who helped me with my psychology assignments back in my High School years. 

This is a great loss to the forums, his family and all those he touched. May he rest in piece, having accomplished a lot in life~

While I can understand that new voice actors can mean new talent being brought in, this feels too much like toeing a mainstream line to try and get name recognition. What I am afraid of is Hazbin toning down on the stuff they have for example been doing in Helluva Boss or even in the Pilot. I agree with @Kyoshi, this feels very dejecting. I really liked the voice actors for Angel Dust and Alastor. They felt really right in my eyes. Similar instances where I felt dejected is when they announced the Mario Movie without Charles Martinet who has been Mario's voice for who knows how long. I also felt similarly when they announced a Sly Cooper movie, which seems to have failed though, where they announced they were basically keeping all the voices except for Kevin Miller who has voiced Sly in all of the games where they wanted to replace him with some celebrity. 

The thing people need to realize about voice acting is that one does not require name recognition to get people to watch your material since you don't see the actor in question. You only hear their voices and usually when you get name recognitions to get involved in voice acting, I usually see a downward trend rather than an upward trend since conventional actors, especially the famous ones, are not known for having a variety of voices. Rewatching a lot of older movies I have come to recognize famous people just through their voice alone since it is very samey in every movie they produce. Voice actors, however, can put on a variety of different voices to suit their characters. Not saying they can't do so at all since you do have some ridiculously powerful actors who have crazy voice control. But I don't think someone like Chris Pratt can be a believable Mario, no offense. 

So yeah, this really sucks, but I really hope it is preventable, since it would be very sad to lose something as golden as Hazbin to corporate control since the whole reason why it started in the first place was to show that independent shows and media can survive without being owned by the big fish, that you don't need large money backing from a few individuals just to make a good product~ 

I say every single swear word you can say in Icelandic~

So, what will happen with Hazbin Hotel? Will it be done by other people? Will it have the voice actors we love so much? Who has creative control? It is still a worry.

It has been picked to be shown on Television by TV station A24. It is unclear when it will be released, but I think what they are doing is that they are using Helluva Boss as their creative outlet for experimentation before working on Hazbin Hotel. It is clear that Vivien wants Hazbin Hotel to be really polished and working on Helluva Boss first and learning from the successes and failures will definitely help them when it comes to producing a more story-focused show like Hazbin~

Here ya go--one bomb-bearing baby bracing to beget a big blast!

Absolutely marvelous. Thank you very much 

@Chann3l Chas3r

Perhaps you would be willing to give it a go on this filly 

 

Took the 9 axes test

Seems about right

Pretty sure that they left Iceland when your currency collapsed and after the global economic meltdown of 2008/09.

Pretty sure all you did was a simple google search and looked at the first simplified non in-depth reason as to why Mickey D's left. 
I was here when McDonalds was having an open dispute with the Icelandic government that they should be buying the meat locally and not shipping it over to the country. 
The high import cost of foreign meat was what cost them the business here. The Depression only made it cost even more. Had they only swallowed their pride and started buying locally, they would have started turning a profit again, considering people were still coming in droves to eat at their restaurant. 

In other words, no, it did not have to do with the collapse of our currency nor with the global economic depression~


 

There used to be a McDonalds in Iceland. But then we kicked them out. They did not want to use our cowmeat, so no selling burgers in our country~ 

To add to what @Fluttershyfan94 said, some of which I agree with and some of which I disagree with: 

I really hate the celebration of weakness and weaklings. Instead of celebrating true strength and how a weak country is able to stand to this day, having moments of glory in its relatively short independent history such as our victory in the Cod Wars, we instead celebrate stuff like Pride and Cultural Night (Menningarnótt) where the purpose is just to get drunk and piss on the only people that are working on that day. These two events even overshadow the National Day of Iceland of 17th of June when we became a Republic. We could at least fix Cultural Night to be more about what it was supposed to be, to celebrate the birthday of Reykjavík, the Capital. 

I do not like that there is no celebration at all for our day of sovereignty and independence, the 1st of December. That day is disappearing from our collective memories. 
 

Karens. Fucking Karens. This country is rife with them, as well as simps. 

The lack of Nationalism is always a sign of great evil and moral decadence being in place. People are immensely proud of being Icelanders and will gladly wave the flag, but they will drag it through the mud by attaching disgusting imagery along with it, making it out to be more internationalist. The only Nationalism that we have is what I classify as Football Nationalism. Gotta rectify that. 

I dislike the entitlement culture here. People feel entitled to everything and I don't mean just the material, I mean entitled to certain actions or behavior from you. This has mostly to do with the Karens who feel they are entitled for you to kiss their feet while they lambast you or demand that you speak in Icelandic rather than English. It is not like the Icelandic language is the easiest one there is, it is enough that foreigners know English, that is the least they can do to show a bit of goodwill towards us rather than not being able to communicate with us at all. 

Finally, there is the lack of art. We could do with more public art to install in certain places to celebrate our unique culture and to make our city and towns a bit prettier, dress it up a bit rather than feeling like you are in some Soviet block~ 

I am terrible with fashion. I wear mostly stuff that makes feel good, stuff that allows me a lot of movement. It is why I rarely wear jeans and more often wear sports pants. 

I usually get help from those who have more of a mind for fashion than I do when it comes to wearing the right style of clothes for an occasion. Otherwise I am have picked out clothes that fit certain occasions~ 

I don't know and don't really care to think too much about it. I always know if there is something that I had not done in the past, then things would have been different. The decisions we make today shape our future. I accept the decisions I have made~ 

Wondering why Western men turned into pussies. Probably because they have it too good. Good times breed weak men~ 

I consider myself a decent cook. I like learning to make stuff that is good, especially the tasty kind. I'm happy that @Kamii enjoys the food that I make for us~ 

There are multiple reasons for people getting tattoos or piercing. For me, the reason for me getting tattoos is spiritual~ 

It is idiotic. Gender neutral parenting sound like a great way of setting up your child for future suicide. 

No, raise your kid according to your values, but also according to societal standards. Being a post-modernist isn't cool or radical, nor is it beneficial for your child, it just simply is stupid~

I don't really know you

Definitely plan on getting married

No I do not. 

What is your fondest memory with your SO? 

She is Portuguese 

What kind of surprises do you like doing for your SO? 

I believe in many gods. I believe every god has a specific influence over an area, but the Judeo-Christian god has far overreached and outstretched its influence to the point of trying to kill off other gods and other peoples culture. I'm none too pleasant around the Abrahamic faiths~ 

Oh, I am a connoisseur of classical music as well as Baroque. I listen to the likes of Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. 

However, personally, my absolute favorite composers come from the romantic period of the 19th century with people like Franz Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Offenbach and Wagner. 

But the one whom I place on a pedestal above all others is Johann Strauss II 

Been in a relationship with @Kamii for over a year and a half now. Going strong, very strong  <3

Mine would be NeebsGaming. I tune in to them every single time they upload. Also Surrealbeliefs who injects me with a daily dose of Warhammer. 

I've also recently gotten into AntsCanada. I've become a bit of an ant enthusiast~

Always lovely when people come here to not participate. 

To answer the real question, our first "date" was at a Brazilian restaurant. It went alright. We were both probably a bit nervous since we were trying to make conversation. We've definitely had better "dates" ever since.

Same question~
