Where the heck is this dreambubble breakout theory coming from? It's not something I've particularly seen in the comic, except for Sollux possibly leaving a bubble. But he's kind of a special case.

If the flash is up before I go to work tomorrow, I will watch it and be useless all day thinking about it. If the flash doesn't go up before I have to go to work tomorrow, I will think about watching it and be useless all day.

Zorak posted:I presume part of the reason he wants it on his site is because, well, the ad revenue off this one flash will probably pay off the costs for the site for quite awhile. Which is less a "greed" thing and more a matter of practicality. I wonder how much he actually makes, if he can afford "several thousand dollars a month" for hosting, and also pay for rent, food, etc. $10k for one day of hosting this flash? It took me most of last year to earn that much. If the flash isn't up before I leave for work, I will take my tablet and go to McDonald's or somewhere with free wifi for lunch. Let's face it, I'm gonna be pretty distracted tomorrow anyway.

You know, I don't really want to see any supposed New Kids at length. I think we have plenty of stuff to deal with already without adding ANOTHER group of main characters. I'd probably be ok with little snippets like trolls' Ancestors got.

 As much as I love my Dave-atar, I now want a Karkat-atar. I'm thinking Xamag's Karkat from the EOA5 flash here, but I need a quote. Maybe this one: CG: I DO TWO THINGS AND TWO THINGS ONLY, I DEVASTATE SORRY MOTHERFUCKERS, AND GET poo poo DONE AS AN AWESOME LEADER. Any other suggestions?

 I guess Dave flying off the handle can go back in the avatar repository, although I'm not sure how I feel about someone else having it. I guess someone already has a non-animated version, although I forget who. Anyway, I went with a Karkat quote from his very first pesterlog. I also flipped him around and removed the Gamzee blood from his cheek. Now it looks like he is critiquing me and my posting.

Oxxidation posted:It says something about Karkat that he gets more screentime than anyone else except the kids and avatar images of him are still constantly in short supply. Karkat may be the best character, but visually he's not actually that interesting. I mean, he's been wearing the same outfit the entire time, and he's pretty monochrome except for the eyes and horns. Unlike say, Feferi who sure does look exotic or Dave and his series of dapper suits, Karkat is just a kid in a tshirt. He doesn't have that many action shots, either. He's more brain than brawn as a leader.

Guys, I just realized I've been to Rainbow Falls in upstate New York, where Rose's house would be. Rainbow Falls is on the Ausable River, and you can go hiking up the river and then ride a raft back down to the visitors' entrance. My family goes on vacation to upstate New York every summer, and two years ago we hiked Ausable Chasm. It is very beautiful and not nearly as isolated as Hussie would lead you to believe. Rose's House  Rainbow Falls, as seen from the bridge you have to cross to get to the entrance of the visitors' entrance.  It's obviously the same place, with the little stream off to the right of the bigger fall. I love the Adirondacks so much.

Seoinin posted:It's impressive his on-the-fly storytelling works as well as it does, but you have to admit it does lead to some pretty jumbled messes occasionally. He eventually teases out most of the necessary plot points, but until then things can get confusing. One of the things I find most fascinating about Homestuck is that Hussie cannot change earlier parts of the story, because he posts panels as soon as he finishes them. He has to work with what he's already written. I assume that a lot of the "foreshadowing" is actually retrieval and repurposing of earlier elements. It's like Tim Gunn from Project Runway told him, "Andrew, make it work" and he totally took it to heart. How old is Hussie, anyway? I'm guessing mid to late 20's, judging by John's taste in movies and snacks--his childhood favorites seem more like someone who was born in 1986 (like me) than 1996. The other three kids don't really seem to have as much interest in media that exists in our world (the one that you and I and Hussie live in). Rose's knockoff Lovecraft, Dave's Smuppets, and Jade's Squiddles are all Hussie's creations, but John's movies exist so I'm assuming Hussie has given John some of his actual favorites. I mean, do kids even eat Gushers anymore? They were the poo poo in the early 90s, but John wouldn't hit prime childhood snack age until the early 2000s.

creationist believer posted:I feel like Hussie is personally teasing me by showing a campaign of passive aggressive one-upmanship but not introducing us to kid Mom and guardian Rose yet. I'm starting to think I'll love the new group almost as much as I loved the old group though 1--Of course he is. He says as much on his Tumblr. 2--Me too. Y'all know that I was pretty apprehensive about this whole "new kids" thing, but this seems much better than what I was expecting. I miss Karkat already, though.

That Recipe Book is like the most useful fetch modus ever. It probably has a table of contents AND an index. I took a year of intro computer science in college when I was 19, and as terrible as I was at it (How do I Java???), at least I understood all the data structure jokes in Act 1. Edit: A google search of my real name brings up a fist page result of lecture notes my professor archived from 2006, which used students' names as data input for hash tables.

Eiba posted:I'm also much less enthusiastic about this chat log than most people here seem to be. I just don't really find drunk people to be all that funny... for personal reasons... so this whole thing is a huge letdown for me. I mean, the typo correcting thing is pretty great fun, and I laughed at the "one... *one... *on" bit, as I've actually seen that happen before. The morality brigade is totally gonna be all over Hussie for TEEN ALCOHOLISM now, I'm sure. You're right about it being "one of the oldest least interesting comedic premises," but Hussie being Hussie, I'm confident that he can do a lot more with her character than just "teenage inebriate".

Or at least they need to watch the television versions, with David Suchet. I watched way too many of those as a child. (My mother has a completely unironic love for murder mysteries. She has as many novels as Bro has puppets.)

That Fetch Modus is bullshit. At least it doesn't delete your poo poo when you get it lined up, like a full row in Tetris. Of course, I'd probably use a Purse Modus, which has a couple of pockets for the most frequently used, but everything else is just jumbled in there and requires a lot of digging around and cursing. Maybe then I could update to a Messenger Bag Modus, which is exactly the same but with a greater capacity.

MrBims posted:Have any of you ever been in a fraternity, a military, or just been friends with someone who acts and talks like Dave in real life? Not a day goes by that I don't hear gay innuendo, even from homophobic infantry NCOs from the dirty south with NOBAMA stickers on their red Ford F150. Has nothing to do with their sexuality. Hussie knows how real people talk, and that has been one of the greatest strengths of Homestuck's dialogue. My boyfriend and his best friend cannot, to my knowledge, have a conversation that doesn't involve huge amounts of homosexual innuendo. It's ridiculous You'd think that Jake would have figured out some sort of Turing test to figure out if Bro's autoresponder is on, and start every conversation with that. Of course, that might lead to Bro improving his conversation algorithms, and eventually a true AI.

CidGregor posted:It's worth noting that Sollux still has one black eye and one white eye, suggesting he remains half dead, whatever that means. Why does he have a white eye here? That's for dead people in dream bubbles, and he had two black eyes in Cascade. Perhaps the meteor is passing through dream bubbles, like Derse's moon did when Rose was riding it out to the Green Sun to deliver the Tumor.

Tollymain posted:I don't think this is going to be a very popular opinion, but I think Bowman's singing ruins his music for me. The music is great, but something about the way he sings just grates on my nerves. His voice is part of his music, though, so it's kind of unfair to say that his vocals "ruin" it. I like his vocals, but then again I also like a number of male vocalists with "odd" voices--John K. Samson from the Weakerthans, Win Butler from Arcade Fire, John Vanderslice, Jason Lytle from Grandaddy, John Darnielle from the Mountain Goats, Thom Yorke from Radiohead, etc.

Well Manicured Man posted:I wonder how (if it is blood, which I think it is) it's been able to last for a whole year. Troll corpses must be packed with blood! I'm surprised trolls don't gush torrents of blood like something out of a samurai movie whenever they get injured. Uh, they totally are completely full of blood. See the aforementioned K8LL M8 scene. I think in that last thread I compared them to John's beloved Gushers. I mean, compare the human death scenes to the troll death scenes. John and Rose getting stabbed and Dave getting shot weren't actually all that bloody.
