My favourite thing about this is the way he switches to red and then, having gone back to berate himself, eventually switches back to gray a few lines before he switched to red in the first place. It's terrible and stupid in all the best ways.

Karkat's conversations with himself are the most beautiful of all trainwrecks. Truly the best troll.

11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?
Throwing a guess out: the Future Karkat is the God Tier dead one in the bubbles.

We know he doesn't because we both saw him start and stop.

He's going to talk to his future self for ten minutes, until he turns into future Karkat, at which point, a "past" Karkat will join the conversation.

Basically, and it will be loving amazing for the entirety of it. Karkat arguing with himself is and should be one of the draws of the comic.

The memos don't work like that. He is talking to future Karkat, and will talk to him for ten minutes. The conversation will end. Then, he will become future Karkat (relatively speaking, still Present Karkat: the other Karkat would just be Past Karkat now) and immediately join the very same pesterlog he just participated in for 10 minutes but from the other side from the very start of the log.

This is meta as gently caress. He's talking to himself in the near future, who changed his chat color in response to himself having changed his chat color in the future, prompting his future-self to change back to grey, all during one time-loop conversation with himself :psyduck:

I don't think this is meta, just a stable timeloop. A very, very short timeloop.

Don't worry though, the kids will show up well before the end of the entire act.

I've been thinking that the kids would finally make it into the new session on April 13th. 4/13, exactly three years after their own session started.

And since Hussie has never once had something come out at the exact length or shorter than he predicted it, get ready for three years.

I doubt this is going to happen partly because Hussie has all but said "gently caress dates, I really can't pace the story to them anymore and have it still run on the schedule I want."

Hell, Cascade only happened on 10/25 because by the time he finished the flash work, putting it up any earlier seemed like cheating himself out of significance.

(The other reason I doubt it's going to happen is I'm pretty sure we're going to get at least a Year 2 intermission as well, and I can't see the story pacing itself to bring the beta kids in that soon.)

This makes a lot of sense and I was thinking the same thing. That would likely mean that A2I2 will have to be a month long and cover the span of 2 years (1 for John/Jade and 1 for Dave/Rose/Trolls?), but that could feel a bit strange, because the intermission would end on 4/13 just as the gang enters the new session and we'd switch back over to the B2 kids.

Ah whatever. Karkat memos!

I still suspect that the kids will canonically arrive on 4/13. Maybe the intermission will end with a flash-forward or something so that we have them showing up on the actual date? I dunno.

I'm glad the intermission's going to cover bits and pieces of the intervening three years. I mean there's no way we could cover everything that happens, all of the development and thought and jokes and stuff that'd go on, but checking in every so often is a great way to see some of them and get a sense for things.

Been hoping that when they all meet up again the four main kids have a bunch of great nodding references to offscreen events. Like, John'll ask Dave about some apparent injoke and get a grim-faced "don't ask", or something.

I figured that whatever was wrong with the album was something minor and that it would be up shortly, but either something was seriously wrong or maybe it just wasn't meant to go live at that time in the first place?

Radiation posted a summary of all of the stuff he has done and has to do for the album, and it looks like there's a fair amount still to do: http://fwugradiation.tumblr.com/post/19146139129. So maybe someone was just doing the preliminary setup on bandcamp, and accidentally made it public briefly?

Looks like there's still a while to go.

It was probably a slipup or a Bandcamp hiccup of some sort. I'm assuming they have a skeleton of the album page set up, but there are still fine details to be worked on.

That doesnt work for the kids, since its technically still 11/11/11 for Jane and Jake and 5 months doesnt seem like enough time to apocalypse the world into Roxy/Dirk-land.

Is it me, or does Karkat seem, well, calmer now? I mean he's obviously still a big crab and all, but it seems like he's more willing to back off and/or let little things go now.

It could just be environmental changes. 'About to die because a giant dog monster is hunting you' Karkat had a lot more to worry about than 'bored after a year on an asteroid' Karkat.

Yeah, when I saw it, it had only 20 or so songs on it, and was pay what you want. Must have been an accidental slip. Anyway, I am very excited for this intermisson, and hope we get another update tonight.

And is it just me, or has Hussie been taking longer then normal to write pesterlogs?

This has happened before; if I recall correctly something kind of like this happened with Moebius Trip and Hadron Kaleido, except it was only one song, and it didn't work if you tried to play it.

Self-sacrifice to prevent starvation is pretty heroic, though.

But the paradox is that it will only work - it will only be heroic, in other words - if it's not heroic.
