^ Or a seax. Or a one-handed sword. I recommend the sword. So, regarding Roxy's mom and Dirk's bro: I'm wondering if they were never alive during Roxy's and Dirk's lifetimes and instead they are more like troll ancestors?

Well, sure, Dirk may have suggested as much at one point. (This was one of the hints pointing at the future thing.)quote:TT: That they are not presently alive nor ever played that role for us as she understands it is just an extension of a much more elaborate and far reaching explanation, which is much harder for anyone to digest in its entirety. It's not confirmation of any particular timeframe, of course, but I would say it's pretty likely that Dirk and Roxy live late enough to have had no direct contact with B2 Dave and Rose, who presumably didn't live too long past rebranding day.

Based on the way UU talks about Rose's culture, it sounds like UU (and presumably uu too) does not live on the Condesce's Earth, or any Earth for that matter.quote:TG: wonder if i can tell distri withoup lookin like a waffle assed chump Hence there are two possibilities: She lives/d on Alternia (or one of the moons), or she was born in her session and lived there her entire life. The latter would be a pretty good explanation for her encyclopedic knowledge of the game.

It would be interesting to see an Sburb player who never made it on a meteor and thus has been living in the session their entire life, though.

There was an ad about visiting Mars on Jane's computer, maybe sea trolls live on the flooded Earth and land trolls hang out on Mars?

I think that was a way to round up humans and put them somewhere, for whatever purpose, seeing as the ad was being shown to humans using crocker products. To emass an army, maybe? I can't imagine that the ad would snag every human being exposed to it, but a good number, certainly. To remove Earth's most important people by selectively targeting them with these ads?

It might still just be the Condesce and her drones out there. I'm sure if she still had brigades of Archeradicators, Threshecutioners and such that they would be sent instead of the admittedly impressive dudes rocketing in whose primary task is milking trolls for DNA. (I do think she's doing all this in her own way, with the best of intentions for Trolls now as when she was guided to make the most oppressive regime imaginable outside of 40K)

Thank you for the lovely mental image of an imperial drone milking a troll for [presumably] haploid genetic material. Dirk's ink is so sick that it just emanates jpg artifacts out of the skin like some sort of mystic aura. Now that must have been one legendary tattooist. Could have been Dirk himself. I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Lady of the Beech fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Mar 11, 2012 |

tinaun posted:http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/scratched-fanmusic-album I'd be right in calling BS if fifty songs made it but Witching Hour didn't. That song is good enough to be flash material. Too bad the Condesce has already been getting a lot of flash screentime as it is, so the chances of that might be less likely..

So I'm going through some of the albums again, and right now I'm sorta daydreaming of someone making a mirror of homestuck that would play the appropriate songs in the albums during the non-flash pages where they are appropriate. For instance, Trial and Execution for Terezi and Vriska's post-coinflip faceoff, and Galactic Cancer for when Karkat, well, is telling Jade he gave the universe cancer. They'd probably have to build a music player into the site, which would keep playing between pages and would ideally warn you when a new song was about to start.

I'm sitting and comparing the two masters of Chrystamanthequins side by side on a set of iHome9 speakers on the loudest volume I can muster without disturbing my cats or anyone else in the house. I think I hear clips on the original that I don't hear on the remastered version, but I'm not entirely sure because both songs have a pretty "grainy" texture. Drums are a little sharper on the remastered version too. All in all the imperfections sound pretty minute to me and only manifest themselves when compared with a properly mastered version. The fact that the song has a pretty "grainy" (distorted? my repertoire of audio-related technical terminology is pretty small) texture helps to mask the clipping.

The difference is night and day in my headphones and speakers - Sennheiser HD595 and M-Audio AV40, respectively. You can also see it very easily if you drop the tracks in Audacity and look at the peaks:  This goes double if you A/B between them while they're playing. But that said, if your speakers can't let you hear the difference, well, you won't hear the difference.

It'll be a bit annoying to read since all the narration will be in giant multicoloured letters sprinkled with billiard balls, though.

And here I thought the first thing Lord English would do after traveling through time would be to find a classier change of clothes, perhaps by moving to a point in the timeline when Stitch was alive.

This is an interesting way to build drama and Dread. Homestuck's a pretty lighthearted comic - even during Horrorstuck, murder, horrible implications and whatnot - that proposes massive consequences then deftly undermines or sidesteps them. It doesn't want to get bogged down, after all. This is appropriate when teh comic's building momentum, no need to exhaust us on something that isn't the climax. The Final Boss, though, the Great Evil who is meant to justify the complexity of the plot that came before by the weight of his narrative significance, that's somebody who needs to at least carry in himself an aura of Dread. Remember when Doc Scratch would take over the comic or the narration? How we couldn't order him around? It was a way to impress upon us his omniscience, the perfection of his plans, convey his personality using the unique mediums afforded by the comic. Lord English works the same way. Only he's going to use it to build up his aura of fear, right up to a meta-level (is my bet what's happening here, anyway). The authour-insert thing has always been a meta-joke thing that somehow reassures us that the story is somehow under control, that nothing can get too serious since Hussie is on hand to make it wacky. If Lord English is here to cause some damage, it might be one the greatest indicators that poo poo is getting real in terms of the comic's tone and conventions so far.
