Wrist Watch posted:Really? I just read through the whole thing and it was pretty interesting to see how they got hooked. The beginning read to me like someone coming into Homestuck with the wrong impression, thinking like the people who swear to never read Twilight because they think it's loving retarded and "it's just loving sparkly vampires what else would I ever want to know". Except you know, what most people hear about homestuck are all the in-jokes which is what turns them off and unlike Twilight there's usually more to it than what you can hear in passing. Kind of interesting to read I agree, but her jokes are hideously stupidly hideously awful, is what I would say. They're like the textbook example of someone who has image macros instead of a sense of humour.

Don't think of that blog as a source of comedy. Think of it as a peek into the inner workings of a cocooning and gestating Homestuck fan.

I think that might be partly to do with returning to that visual phase where more pages were assembled from stock assets than drawn from scratch. Once the prep work is done for the character sprites and props, I'm guessing the per-page workload is smaller.

Hahaha, I like the callback to this pagepage 5304 posted:But his interest in Mr. Foxworthy always struck you as a little lame. Those redneck jokes were so corny and stupid. You secretly suspected your father was mostly arrested by the man's mustache. Maybe he fantasized about shaving the man's egregious furry lip? This seems like a reasonable theory to you.

I'm all but certain that hussie's mentioned that drawing and hero mode and stuff is FASTER for him. It probably has more to do with him not doing batch updates like we've been used to for scratch's segment.

He's said that new drawings are quicker to do than converting callback drawings (changing one character to another while retaining the same pose and that sort of thing), but I'm not sure he's said anything about new drawings vs assembled props and sprites.

I think Andrew has also said that creating new sprites take longer than just drawing a hero mode panel, but he already created Jane's sprite so Supercar is still right.

Even though I want to see the other kids and whether or not this DAD is just Dad, or Karkat's Lusus with a fedora and pipe, I kind of hope we get at least one Jane: "Visit https://www.mspaintadventures.com" type of page to see some Problem Sleuth 2.

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? Not that I'm not in love with super-smooth text regardless.

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.

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

CSS3 would fix this, since with CSS3 you can have fonts render server side or something like that. So if Hussie really cared about having his text display that way, he could use that feature of CSS3.

If you got high, and fell asleep, would your dreamself be high? Forget about how the new kids got Lil' Cal and the other artifacts, this is what we need to be speculating on.

You are supposed to overtly be pondering this in your head. It's ambiguous. That's the point, I think. I think if there are trolls present in this world, it'll be the case less that they use their frog to create a new session, and more that they use their God Tier powers to prevent the world from being annihilated at all. Since a planet with Trolls and humans both living up ins would be kind of an ideal for both universe's survivor's. Zorak fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Nov 13, 2011 |

To her this obviously meant land and seadwellers and to the reader it obviously meant humans and trolls. At this point it could just mean something to do with setting up the dream bubbles where the humans and trolls meet, but it could be that Feferi became Betty Crocker in this timeline and united the two races here. I don't even know what to think, the beginning of Act 6 is raising more questions than EOA5 and Intermission 2 answered. It's a whole new universe of possibilities! I love it.

Speaking of ads, does anyone have a link to the Veins ads that were up on the site a couple months ago? Those things were genius, and I'm going to be heartbroken if they're not in the later Homestuck books.
