KoB posted:Les Trolls Terribles TURN OFF THE GAME GRUB, FUCKASS. I NEED NOOKCLIPPERS, 61! Side note, I dunno if it was mentioned here, but regarding the retjohn... Do we ever see John create a potentially unstable loop that's hand waved as narrative? His power might be pure time travel. Has anyone time traveled since arriving in this new universe?

Classtoise posted:TURN OFF THE GAME GRUB, FUCKASS. the time he interrupted dave and grimbark jade's conversation, which we see like, three times following john's personal chronology first we had the conversation play out with no john and end with dave saving the mayor from being kicked into lava then we had john appear and interrupt the conversation then we had the version were john appears and then john appears and stops himself from interrupting the conversation if you go back now to the original conversation between jade and dave you'll see john appear in the background and then another version of john appear to stop himself in the original version of that page that went up, he wasn't there. I don't remember what it looked like between the time when john interrupted the conversation and he retconned himself into not interrupting i guess you could argue that it's not an unstable loop in that john retconning himself there isn't necessarily dependent on him knowing he was retconning dave and jade's conversation and is just john being john

Plom Bar posted:I believe Dirk has overtaken both Vriska and Aranea for the title of Inadvertent Fucker of the Most poo poo. You are absolutely right overall. However, when you say "got all the Alpha Kids killed or injured", are you referring to Dirk:Synchronize? That elaborate sequence was necessary to get all the Alpha Kids into the same timestream.

I have a favor to ask. Do any of the icon experts around here feel like snipping the "yap yap yap" panel into an icon for me? I'm on a Chromebook and can't find any tools that handle animations appropriately. http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=008286

That elaborate sequence was necessary to get all the Alpha Kids into the same timestream. I'm referring to the cataclysm immediately preceding Dirk: Synchronize that made it necessary. You have to reach kind of far back in the story to see it, but all the others were in the precarious situations that killed them because of Dirk's machinations to control everyone's actions as the "unseen leader" behind Jane that he fancied himself being.

Wasn't a lot of that actually AR's doing, and Dirk was unaware of it? I'm sure I remember that being a thing.

well who would have guessed the addition of vriska would make events actually go smoother also the bit where vriska and terezi are laughing at dave, karkat and the mayor looks like the halfway panel in one of the furry transformation comics that gets posted in the weird fanart thread every so often A Great Big Bee! fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Apr 23, 2015 |

Well then! Looks like the ghost Vriska we've been following still exists! I guess that timeline still exists, but just is no longer the canon one, maybe?

I guess that timeline still exists, but just is no longer the canon one, maybe? seems to confirm that retjohnned deaths still happened in the same way that scratched dead people are still around as ghosts. So in theory there's a ghost of everyone that died in game over loving around the dream bubbles.

So Gamzee never prototyped any of the Alpha kids' sprites. (See: Vriska showing up with Tavros' head to avert Dirk's using AR). Wonder who else the sprites will be. Man, I have a big dumb grin on my face. Seeing the meteor as happytown is such fun. e: Gamzee bitching to Kurloz and Meulin about Vriska Arsenic Lupin fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Apr 23, 2015 |
