It's nice to know that even Hussie is cognizant of the awful Homestuck tumblr bullshit. I wonder if anyone took Kankri seriously?

I for crying out loud, Hussie, how do you make EVERY new character better than the last?? I also find it interesting/amusing that Kankri is in fact oblivious to the fact that he's mentioning trigger warnings in some cases after he's already said the potentially triggering thing. He can't even check his own privilege  Mazerunner posted:edit: I restarted because I was having some trouble with the songs only playing once then cutting out, but did anyone else find the hidden ledge that Hussie jumps off? Right at the start. Anyway I might be wrong but its got a view into the furthest ring and it looks like you can see Jane's planet off in the distance? Thoughts? Found it, it didn't lead to anything else, did it?

If you actually read through Kankri's text dumps, he manages to mention and then immediately be dismissive of just about everything people actually post trigger warnings for on Tumblr. Misogyny? Racism? Please, I'm trying to talk about real problems here. E: v man, italics on it and everything flavor.flv fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Aug 31, 2012 |

^^^ Well would you look at that...Rose Spirit posted:I also find it interesting/amusing that Kankri is in fact oblivious to the fact that he's mentioning trigger warnings in some cases after he's already said the potentially triggering thing. He can't even check his own privilege I love that as soon as Porrim brings up feminism he's just like "I'm sorry but I'm worried about the real problems."

I had Hussie following Meenah around and after doing a sicknasty slide Hussie just kind of... slid up and off the screen. Pretty funny glitch, though.

Who would have thought we'd all be this excited at the prospect of remeeting an additional 10 new-old characters? e: I like how, while the trolls we know are all internet stereotypes, with the exception of Kankri basically all the A1 trolls so far are pre-internet stereotypes: 90s grrlpunk, nerd, radkid, and mall goth.

Yeah, these A1 trolls are definitely the troll equivalent of 16 year olds. Porrim is just the loving best.

Oh my god that update was the best. I already had started calling Kankri insufferable and then Porrim says that's his nickname! Wonderful. Seriously that was an all around fantastic update, absolutely packed with content... and it's only halfway done (or even less). I can't wait for Meenah's continued afterlife adventures. I'm going to try to see if I can get everyone's names straight as well as the titles we've learned. Feferi Ancestor - Meenah, Thief of Life Vriska - Aranea, Sylph of Light Karkat - Kankri, Seer of Blood Terezi - Latula, Knight of Mind Kanaya - Porrim, Maid of Space Nepeta - Meulin Aradia - Damara Sollux - Minuta (? I'm not sure that one was right) Did any others get mentioned? Any mistakes here?

I'm pretty sure Meenah has eclipsed Dave as my favorite HS character so far. She definitely has the sickest jams, anyway *puts Fuchsia Ruler on repeat*

Kankri is the plural for crawfish in French. Meulin, I think, is pronounced like "mewlin'" adding another cat pun to the Leijons.

When you talk to Aradia, Meenah says something about Lord English doing something to their time witch, so I think Damara might be the Witch of Time.

And now we know why this took longer than estimated: three weeks just weren't enough to type out all of Kankri's dialogue.

Oh god, this update is incredible. It's too much. Like, really. I honestly wish this had been spread out more! Kankri and Porrim are the best. Kankri as a tublr style pretentious overly zealous self centered social justice advocate is fantastic. It works surprisingly well with his ancestor's story, too! (Unlike Aranea, who doesn't seem all that Mindfang-y.) I have to admit I got kind of lost with what exactly Porrim was supposed to be in contrast is she like a men's rights advocate? That's what the "they always say, 'but matriarchy!'" complaint made it sound like, but otherwise it seems like troll societies are sexist in the same way human societies are- at least the gamer girl deconstruction made it seem that way. Being a men's rights advocate parody would be a bit... gross, so I hope I'm just reading too much into that one line. Either way, my favorite conversations were the two of them together- the mothering and the "real issues" bullshit were hilarious. The dude who can't shut up about privilege is the biggest rear end in a top hat with his privilege, and sense of entitlement about where the oppression conversation should be going. It's beautiful.

Is anyone else running into a graphical glitch on the second screen? The background is just straight black and some of the background that is there like the rocks looks cut off and out of place. All the sprites look fine but trying to navigate what's essentially an invisible maze doesn't seem right.

I'm definitely going to have to replay this one in Chrome, so much of Kankri's lines went over my head because they were a blurry mess. And also worth replaying because holy poo poo there is a lot of junk to do.

Yeah I think you're right. They all share the same aspect as their descendents (different from the humans in that respect - probably because the new session "knows" that it's going to have four more players and doesn't need to repeat their aspects) so it's just a question of their class. Updated list: Feferi Ancestor - Meenah, Thief of Life Vriska - Aranea, Sylph of Light Karkat - Kankri, Seer of Blood Terezi - Latula, Knight of Mind Kanaya - Porrim, Maid of Space Aradia - Damara, Witch of Time Nepeta - Meulin Sollux - Mituna

I still can't get over that the Troll Ancestor session lasted six years. edit: I mean I know why it lasted three sweeps, so that everyone would be the same older age aagain, but still.

^^^ yeah I got the same problem too, I eventually restarted and that fixed ithavenwaters posted:I still can't get over that the Troll Ancestor session lasted six years. Yeah, assuming they started at 13 years/6 sweeps like the B1 Kids and A2 Trolls that would put them at ~19-20 years old, which is like, they spent a third of their lives in the game daaamn. I kind of thought that Latula and Porrim's sprite's looked a bit older than the others.

I had problems with the songs not looping the first time each part of the flash loaded. Reloading the page fixed it, even though it meant I had to catch up to where I was twice. That didn't take too long though since you don't have to read what anyone says and can just zoom through.
