Yeah, on one of his tumblr ask sessions he said that it could get pretty close to Act 5 in length.

Yeah I know I mean I already think there's no way he can get to his ideal estimate of "a nudge bit shorter than Act 5".

If these are dreambubbles, theoretically that should be Rose thats basically hours away from the new session.

Yes, I'm aware. I think Karkat's just in her dream bubble, though.

I forgot about Dreambubbles for a moment. :bang:

I really worry how Roxy's void ability is going to screw up Rose's "path to best possible outcome" powers.

Now that Rose has 'seen' Roxy, is she suddenly going to realize she has to change her plans to account for her?

There is no reason that would be. You can even see in the end that she wakes up back on the asteroid.

Equius and Nepeta are in their ideal realities, I think. Or at least Equius is, what with the two robo-Aradias.

If that's the case, then hopefully MSPA doesn't pull a Gurren-Lagann and force them to bust out. :ohdear:

Man, a lot of set up right there as per usual.
I don't think it's any surprise Karkat is sporting God Tier Pyjamas as I'm expecting all of team Meteor to have gone through some level of power up by the time poo poo gets real. Gotta keep your team levels balanced in these games if you want to do well after all.

It also seems Dirk's spying game has gone something short of smoothly. Did CD attempt another peanut based assassination?

We'll probably see what happened to Dirk that led him to have blood on him once we can select him from the character select screen.

Also, looks like Derse doesn't have the prototyping towers either.

Going by the adventures of Vriska and beta-John, it might mean that Nepeta doesn't realize she's dead yet.

But then here's another question: if she's in a LOLCAT dreambubble, why is she wearing the Derse dream uniform? Shouldn't she be wearing her clothes from the time she was there?

We caught her just as her memories were starting to return, hence the Derse duds. Lucky we missed the moment she recalled Gamzee killing her. That's gonna be an unpleasant moment.

So there's a new [s] update on the site but it keeps hanging at 11% whenever I try to load it. Is anyone else having this problem?

Belated on this, but for what it's worth, the flash at the end of the intermission did this for me. It would hang like it wasn't loading, but then after I let it sit for a while it would still complete and start running.

Hussie also said something about this because apparently he got a lot of complaints for that flash. That thing was: Try refreshing/clearing cache/etc., if that doesn't work come back later, also don't refresh over and over every second because that makes the problem worse instead of making it better.

Where were Vriska's wings on the meteor before the reveal? They're probably retractable or something. Either that or they're hilariously tiny. Or, third option: Only girls have wings?

The dreambubble may be close to the new session, but since Rose was asleep, it didn't matter how close the meteor was.

I can't really think of a clear way to explain this.

It was Plundersaurus Rex's dream to be the greatest pirate dragon ever.

That was Rose's dreambubble. That is to say, we just saw the Seer of Light's dream.

Does that mean it's the absolute certain Alpha future? I believe so. If only because them being alive gives Hussie a chance to kill them again.

Well, the wings only seem to come out when Vriska is wearing the God Tier outfit, which is presumably why he brought that up. That said, I think sprite god tier trolls don't have wings, generally.

The Nepeta we saw in the flash is wearing the Derse robe, so it might just be the Nepeta that died as a result of being stabbed by Jack. Also, Karkat is also dead, and we know that there were many, many alternate timelines caused by Karkat's short sightedness -- it's entirely possible that he made it to God tier in one of them.

You can walk from one dreambubble to the other via shared memories and Dave has spoken to Equius before.

The most interesting thing? This means some version of Karkat achieved God Tier then died a heroic (or just!) death. I wonder how that went down.

I'm guessing it's some heretofore unseen Beta Karkat, which would fit with him cozying up with Nepeta in the afterlife - that ship gets to be some stripe of canon in the same way as, say, John/Vriska did, but isn't the like official sanctioned romantic pair-up for Karkat. (aka...OTP!)
