So maybe uu and UU have a sort of Jekyll and Hyde thing going on? Although I can't see how that would work with them being each other's coplayer...

Augh, getting the Iguana skull is such a pain if you don't realize that one of the tablets actually has a clue and aren't all just background info and predictions of future events. You have to rig the lights to be in a specific direction so that Dirk's is shining into the hole your house was in, then go back to the cave with the Fourth Wall carved on it, then flip the small switch the light is pointing to.

Man, the planet and music really gave me a Myst vibe, and then I found the puzzle(s). I think I'd be willing to pay for Homestuck-themed Myst game.

Haha, the text boxes were messed up and cut off at the bottom for me, so I didn't even realize there was a clue on one of the tablets. I just brute forced the solution. Gonna have to redo it when it's more stable. So uh, did Jake just die, is that why his lantern is out? I thought it was just for his dreamself but then he got hit in the head so I don't know.

Quick, chem majors, what are important about noble gases? EDIT: Also, if they continue with the corpse theme, then they will be Pyramids, Tombs, and Mausoleums?

I'm pretty sure the lanterns represent dreamselves.tinaun posted:Land of Crypts and Helium, with other three being LOPAN, LOTAK, LOMAX (probably jake) A lot of blatant foreknowledge on the tablets. Along with that last one, there are going to be a bunch of empty Kernelsprites around... and we know resurrecting works with a dreamself-prototyped sprite.

Well, if there's one thing I've learned from this it's that I never want to play Myst because goddamn I am poo poo at puzzle games.KoB posted:I got this far but cant figure out what to do next. I was stuck on this too.  Here's what you do from there:You're going to feel dumb, but when the pod popped out the last skull appeared. It's that grey blob that looks nothing like a skull. Just click around on the pod where it popped out. Seriously.

His dreamself died, but I think one of the other tablets hinted "Hope is dead on arrival" so probably soon. I bet Jane's wish revives him, though

Found a bug which would explain some problems: If you don't let the balloon animation complete, the skull will never show up, making you have to restart the game. (that's what i did  )

I like how carving a wish onto the balloons was reminiscent of carving desires on the tablets in John's world. Also uu's comment of "Yes, isn't it wonderful" in response to Jane's "It's kind of creepy, I think I'm completely alone" was really powerful. It kind of came way back to the title, Homestuck, being secluded and alone, stuck in your house. All the kids who play live alone or with one parent, no friends outside home, only online friends. The game gives them what they want, an entire world to themselves, but it also forced them to cooperate in order to win, yet even with all the cooperation it's possible for them to never meet. I really hope that wasn't just a throwaway line, and that it becomes really important.
