I'm really looking forward to the soundtrack. Homestuck's music team is really awesome and I can't wait to see what they came up with (blindly based on bare instructions from Hussie).

Fat_Cow posted:I have a general question. Do you think trolls/anyone could go god tier if they used the bed for their title? Such as Rose could use vriskas bed and vice versa since they are both of light? I'm not sure there's enough information in the comic to answer that. It may be that having another player of the same class's quest bed available is even a novel situation within the ... universe? of Homestuck, so nobody knows until Hussie shows what happens. I think the only way to find out would be to sneak back into the kids' universe post-scratch and stick Kanaya on, er, Nanna's bed. Assuming the Scratch did indeed reset the kids universe, and wasn't just Scratch lying to us.

Things Lord English Is: * Some kind of hulk-out parasite from the puppety husk of Doc Scratch ^ implies Big Cal * A honker ^ implies some relation to Gamzee/the Subjugglators, be it prophecy, direct, or possibly an influence from L'il Cal * A big fucker, as he actually fits into the Cairo Overcoat/Sarcophagus --> recall: the Cairo Overcoat rips and tears when time shenanigans are going on. Stitch repairs it. There are supposedly two, the main coat and a backup. * Wearing a pegleg reminiscent of Skipper Plumbthroat? I never saw the Squiddles flash * Evil That's quite the identity. An evil honking peg-legged skull-faced demon bug puppet cue-ball man who is omnipotent and can travel through time, out to rid the space beyond space of cephalopods. And that's just the reasonably obvious. And chief amongst those against him are a girl who's a god who merged with an omnipotent dog and her resurrected alternate self; and a troll girl who was a ghost then a frog then a robot and now a fairy god.

One thing I've been wondering is, why the yellow yard? Hussie moved only one side of the second fourth wall. Presumably, with the yellow yard being his ONLY interaction, the two fourth walls would have been touching otherwise. So the difference he has made is that Jade's ship will enter the second fourth wall at a slightly different angle and 3 ns later, having spent those 3 ns in the author's study. These questions are eating at me: How much of this is important? Why didn't he move the other side of the second fourth wall, too, so there would be an even 3 yards between the walls? What difference will it make? E: It just occurred to me: two fourth walls into the same story pointed at each other is a really clever image for a self-referencing story.

Zorak posted:Hussie explained this on his Tumblr. The commentary is the meta-narrative significance, though. I want to know what the in-story significance will be. I could easily be wrong that the two fourth walls are into the same story, too. But splitting Jade and John into literally a different story seems almost too complex, even for Homestuck. And moving those walls next to each other is significantly more intervention than "one yard", which is why I think that, on a literal reading, Hussie's interaction was just pulling them apart from where they were originally set up. I could be wrong about this, too, I guess. Factory Factory fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Nov 3, 2011 |

You put sentences reading "Humor is subjective," and "Shakespeare isn't funny" right next to each other. Intentionally. Can we shut up about this now? The level of picking-apart-between-updates is getting a tad unbearable, what with all the literary theory being wafted around like turds people have opinions about. Here's the nice thing about literary theory: all of your valid interpretations are sound. Factory Factory fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Nov 7, 2011 |

Discussing the literary merit isn't bad per se. It's just that people are hurling incredulity and hyperbole at each other, and the topic of discussion keeps drifting from "What kind of merit does Homestuck have" to "Holy poo poo you're dumb." It's a classically structured Goon argument  But it also annoys me incredibly.

Ammat The Ankh posted:Hussie explains the site's font shift. Apparently that's how it was always supposed to be. It's automatically anti-alised for me since I'm on a Mac, is it possible to turn that off or is it like Hussie says? Huh. I didn't notice a change, but I did notice others noticing it. Browser issues!  Top is Hussie's reference rendering. Next is how the site actually renders for me in Google Chrome (Windows 7, ClearType tuned to my satisfaction). Third down is Photoshop to Hussie's specs (Courier New Bold 14 pt, antialiasing set to "none") - almost but not quite pixel-perfect. Final is a quick and dirty attempt to replicate Chrome's rendering in Photoshop: Courier New regular 14 pt, antialising "strong", character width 96% (antialiasing stretches characters a bit). E: character height should be squashed to 96% as well to get even closer. Guess I've got font problems! Leave it to Andrew Hussie to get me thinking about CSS and how far layout management has come in webpages, yet how far it has to go.

rotinaj posted:I tried reading Homestuck and got up to the part where the third character, the "Cool" one, was freaking out over puppets, then lost my place. Well, let's see. The first page of Homestuck was MSPA page 1901. Dave freaked out about puppets around page 2361. The current page is page 6029. Since you've left off, MSPA has grown by roughly the size of the first two books of The Lord of the Rings, and that's just in word count.

YF-23 posted:Also, about her name, let me put my Well, hey, that's a neat observation. -- UU is exciting because she is opening up a new line of intrigue, i.e. who is she and, given what we know in general and what little we know of her, what will her impact be? I'm leaning towards the more positive interpretations, myself, but I couldn't really say why. That's because we don't have a heck of a lot of information yet, so I'm not kill myself spinning out the perfect theory when we actually know vanishingly little. Right now, UU is a fairly open-ended mystery. A lot of folks seem to be drawing out huge "What if X, that would mean blah blah incredible detail." But a little information could nullify X, making blah blah so much wasted effort. We're clearly starting a new story arc here, and things are just ramping up. We're getting a lot of background information. There's no need to get your theories out SUPER FAST AND SUPER DETAILED just in case the next update will prove you right, because chances are that won't happen until this story arc begins reaching its climax. So, y'know, chillax, don't annoy the mods, etc.

Okay, I think I figured out a good way to explain it. You know how when Dave was going through Terezi's God Tier scheme, he made a choice and generated an offshoot universe based on that choice? When that choice happened, Beta Dave was spawned with an entire Beta Session with an attached Beta Universe. These just started existing, whole and contained, somewhere in Paradox Space, but still linked to the Alpha session at a point in time, when Dave made the choice. These two universes were different and distinct, but they were in large part identical. And countless similar universes were splitting off all the time, but our attention was drawn to only a few, those that specifically impacted the universe involving the story we were being told. But we have found out, that the universe we were following wasn't the final universe of interest. The scratch spawned a "new" universe, whole and contained, but still linked to the "old" version. And it's the same universe, just with multiple versions of it. So when babies on meteors are sent into "that universe", they get filtered through the same universe filtering method, and they're sent to all of the possible iterations of that universe. We're just seeing the important ones, the ones which Paradox Space/Lord English don't quash and on which the narrative focuses. Or, put another way: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff...

YF-23 posted:Except boondollars just kinda, you know, enabled the kids and trolls to actually start talking to each other. Not in any way that made the boondollars themselves important. What was stopping Dave from sending Terezi a message saying "sup sup 413 blind prophets walk into a bar"? The boondollars were a vehicle for a lot of interesting plot stuff that was interesting for reasons completely separate from the existence of boondollars. Up until then they had been useless, and they continued to be useless other than as an arbitrary signal.

I'm not sure folks are recalling that immediately before Tavros' decision to take out Vriska, Vriska taunted him at length about how she manipulated events to kill alterna-Daves, psychic-double-reacharound the other kids, and ensured the creation of Bec Noir, the villain who just ruined everything, ON PURPOSE. At that point, Tavros marked Vriska as an imminent threat and vowed to stop her. I'm really, really not seeing how this was a morally grey decision. He did it pretty stupidly, but he was acting to protect the kids and the trolls from Vriska, and I would say this decision was made in good faith.
