There's four bonus tracks as well though!

Also I got a track called null that was just around 8 seconds of silence so it could also have been that!
That's the one I meant. And it's not silent. Just very quiet. :ssh:

Which is why I don't think we'll be returning to her and John, in terms of direct narrative, for a while. She's so drat powerful that she's going to be hard to write as a direct character now.
I got this vibe as well. Not necessarily that the next act will be a new set of kids, but that she and John may be ducking out of the story for a long while and running around the new universe or wherever they went, then returning at some important moment.

Hopefully Lord English wasn't on any of those worlds Jade just took to parts unknown.

As much as this can be derailed, I'm not sure I can agree with this position. Issues like racism, even if this is not racism, are things that can crop up in a huge variety of places that involve every level of society. Those sorts of issues are fixed by confronting them wherever they pop up, not by taking them to a separate forum.
It's strange going from the general Web comics thread, where discussion the past few days has centered on how it is okay for someone dealing with depression to simply be creative from his own perspective, for his own reasons, and not have to be a standard-bearer for all possible advocacy and treatment, to this thread, where a guy writing a story about kids blowing up frog-worlds must, after 6000 pages, "check his privilege" and start portraying real-world cultures and ethnicities in a sensitive and balanced manner.

Everything since the Scratch segment ended is specifically set to the default theme - this is the same reason why you can't view the Scratch pages in SBaHJ mode.
A shame. I was hoping to try the Scratch theme on the current pages, since I find the light pastel colors on light gray difficult to read.

Sure helped make AR my new favorite character in a hurry, though.

I just assumed space is gigantic. Imagine a chess board. Each square is a different universe. B1 didn't get overwritten as B2. B2 is just way over there. And A2 and B1 got used to make the green sun. If they were overwritten, are you saying A1 was and B2 will be used to make the green sun?
There's also that fact that John and Jade are spending three years traveling to... wherever they're headed. If they're going to end up in B2 in the same Bilious Slick, wouldn't it have made more sense to just pop outside of the Universe, then immediately back in once it was done rewriting itself?

Every book would ship with a few pages omitted, and a few more randomly rearranged. The spine would snap in two when the book was first opened. The pages would not lie flat against each other, and in the few places they touched they would be carefully stuck together with a mixture of superglue and urine.

I find UU fascinating because we just know so little about her.
Gotta say, I agree with the people expressing frustration, mainly because they're just yet another set of kids to keep track of, and the longer UU/uu don't really get fleshed out, the more time they eat up in the story that could be spent, say, having that treehouse makeout session or actually getting the characters we know and like into B2. I've had shades of the same feelings about the B2 kids, and they actually get screen time.

But going beyond that, I figured they might actually be universal items that can be used by anyone, just that anyone but a time player using them would usually result in unmitigated timeline disasters given they lack the innate instincts and powers for it. (Which would lead me to believe that Gamzee might be a case of "pulls it off properly only due to fool's luck". Which also works as a jester pun you see. :haw:)
Given Gamzee's previous meddling in the B universe, I'm not sure we can say yet that he actually "pulls off" anything resembling a success.

You could also interpret "the world" in a more abstract sense to mean "all of existence" and it still kind of describes what the characters are trying to do now.
It doesn't help that Homestuck has a really vague interpretation of space in general. There's the kids' planet, then Skaia, which is... elsewhere, and if you're a bored omnipotent villain, you can just kinda fly out of the Universe entirely.

Another way of looking at that description is that it's not really clear what's supposed to happen in Sburb. Maybe the game starts with Caliborn and ends with Act 7, maybe there are millions of other sessions out there who just win normally, start a new universe, and keep on truckin'.
