I was bored and remembered someone linked me to a CPS2 soundfont a while ago.  Insomnia and no internet is a very dangerous combination.

Also, the final, final boss being like chapter 12 of 22 is insane.

Hmm, if I ever build that rulebook for how to run an Sburb play-by-post RPG, I might do away with the gender limitations for the classes since they feel a little unfair to me. I don't understand why men can't be rogues and women can't be bards. It'll also just be trouble for gender-fluid people or people with no gender.

I thought Rogue and Thief just tended to be female. Because if not, uh oh the rogue in our group is a boy! Oh no. Prince being male-only makes sense though, as does Maid being female-only. Bard was surprising to me, though. And gender-fluid people get to be anything they want~ glug posted:Man, I don't know how much of this is the community or the author, but seeing weird callbacks like punching Q-bert in the nose to establish superiority get a good laugh out of me. Also, the final, final boss being like chapter 12 of 22 is insane. It's... sort of both. Hussie and the early community were a wonderful mix, and it's one of those things I miss with Homestuck (but it's made up for in many other ways). And yes half of PS is the final boss fight. It's... it's something else alright. Also, I'm really glad you started with PS, it will make early Homestuck make so much more sense to you (and welcome to the comic and thread! We are all glad to have you). VVVVV Yeah, I figured every gender-specific title would have an equivalent for the other one, but we only know of a limited number of titles!

You are correct, UU said that Rogue/Thief tended to be female but not were exclusive. Prince/Bard are exclusive. It also seemed implied that there were equal numbers of common/exclusive classes for both male and female.

If I de-genderized the classes I'd probably rename Prince and Maid. The latter possibly Serf, and the former possibly Chief? For "prince" I went to "queen" as female equivalent name since 'princess' is two syllables, then to "king" because apparently my brain thinks of the word 'king' as unisex, then from 'king' to 'chieftain', then 'chieftain' became 'chief'.

Yet 2D drawings are perfectly legitimate ways to profit off someone else's work. Drawings are art, you see. Anything else is a product. (Not trying to start anything here, that exception just kind of irks me.)

I think he was just trying to be lenient, and not too draconian with the rules. PR is tricky business, gotta give them something right? (Not that they aren't still complaining.) It's more for comissions, and stuff. Like "man I love your art could you draw Karkat and Nepeta riding in a car shaped like Karkat?" I don't know why things like plushies are off limits, but someone smarter than me explained it awhile back. I think it had something to do with the ease of reproduction in 3d, like sewing patterns and designs and junk. It does specifically say nothing mass-produced. Plus things like pins and plushies and whatever are usually pretty common at conventions, whereas individual, comissioned fan art is not.

Oh, sorry about that. I've read some of the Tumblr complaints, and their whining about not being able to make money anymore just makes me feel even worse. As someone who would never sell my work for fear that monetizing it would cheapen it, to be lumped in with those guys makes me want to stop knitting and take up ukulele or something.

So I kept hearing about this MSPA thing and decided to check it out, and basically marathonned through Problem Sleuth and Homestuck over the course of the last month. Now my brain is half-liquid due to so many absurd jokes, bits of hilarity, terror, and awe. Now I have to adapt to life without a nigh-infinite amount left to read. Seriously I think my girlfriend was giving me strange looks because I was fairly often giggling like a maniac at my screen. What else should I dive into? Are there any side aspects of this whole shebang worth reading? The above two sagas are all I've really read. Though I'm tempted to start Homestuck from part 1 again just to see what else I catch on a second read.

You should definitely watch his humorous Star Trek TNG videos. http://www.jandrewedits.com/ I wish he would make more. He stopped making them when Homestuck's popularity exploded.

You can also try some of Andrew's older comics. I would recommend And It Don't Stop because A) it's great and B) you will suddenly understand Dirk's life.

Although they're nowhere near as good as Problem Sleuth and Homestuck, if you're interested in the complete picture, you should read Jailbreak and Bard Quest as well. You can knock 'em both out in an hour and suddenly you'll understand why pumpkins are so central to everything MSPA. Also bards and codpieces.

On that note if you can find a copy of Whistles get it, because it pretty much explains why anything clown related in Homestuck tends to be so hosed up. Edit: Now that I think about it, alot of the stuff in Homestuck is essentially an extended callback to Hussie's older works. The Midnight crew got it's start in Problem Sleuth, everything about Dirk and rap came from And It Don't Stop, even Neon Ice Cream Hedache could be seen as a really early prototype for what would eventually become the concept of Sburb. So basically this site is pretty much our gospel. MechanicalTomPetty fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Feb 10, 2012 |

Mazerunner posted:Oh my god that is amazing...ly creepy. but no serious that's awesome. How do you even DO something like that? Good jorb. Thanks!  Anyway I started sewing by making a couple of Scalemates following Eyes5's scalemate tutorial (unfortunately, she's taken it down), and then once I had the hang of making stuff when given a pattern I tried making my own. If anyone else is interested in trying sewing, I'd recommend doing something similar - make a few things following patterns to start. (Eyes5 has some other patterns for non-Homestuck things on her website, and her materials and techniques page is really helpful regardless). I didn't find it too hard to make plushies when working from a pattern, though the actual sewing can be kind of tedious and a bit finicky. Making a pattern myself didn't seem too bad, either - that involved some trial and error and some spatial vizualization. As for selling them, I'm obviously not going to do that since Hussie doesn't allow it. (I'm not sure I would have wanted to anyway, since at the very least I'd need to make a few more to get the pattern finalized and figure out how much time and materials it took to make one, and I don't know if I could have found a price that would be worthwhile to both me and a hypothetical commissioner). I do plan on posting the pattern I'm using, after I've made a few more grubs and am happy with it, though! FrictionlessEmu fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Feb 11, 2012 |

We're pretty close to the moment Jane should be getting hers, so I just want Hussie to and start the game already to see how this session will play out.

I was NOT prepared for the glorious return of Captain Snoop. This is the new BEST THING. Also, I say "cheerio" sometimes. My grandfather used to say it a lot and I got it from him. I guess it's an old fashion commonwealth thing because I'm Australian. I recall a South African friend as well who never said good bye any other way.
