I found hussie in a box and there's obviously more path to the left but I can't walk left of a stupid tower in the foreground and I haven't found some of the things people have mentioned karkat's ancestor? where? You're a bit too far to the left, you want to go directly south from Dave.

We've got hipsters and furries and juggalos and twilight fans and fanfiction shippers, and they're all silly as heck, but it's never dickish towards those groups. Far, far less dickish than we'd usually be here towards those types on Something Awful, to be sure. Likewise, you could be the biggest tumblr social justice fan in the world, and still think Kankri is hilarious. Because he is.

Surely they must be a way for them to get Kankri out away from everyone else and then get Lord English to show up. I have to admit, I didn't read most of what he said, because his quirk is really annoying and he will not shut the gently caress up.

Man, that flash was overwhelming. I thought Kankri was just too annoying to exist in paradox space, until his last little comment towards Pyrope came up. I think that redeemed him from the fact that he is the avatar of Internet Social Justice. Heart-warming.

It took me until I started reading this topic to realize what the sidejoke stuff on the bottom was supposed to be. Though reading some of PYF's mock topics mean I unfortunately understood all of kankri's stuff. Is there a full-size version of that Peanuts picture near the end?

(I have been four characters) Be Meenah and get the skateboard from Latula; be Porrim, access the nearby dream bubble and get stairs; be Meenah and do a sick grind down said stairs; be Latula and talk to Kankri; be Kankri and talk to Meenah; be Meenah and talk to Karkat and get him to follow you; open door! I think that's it.

Re: brainy area, it reminded me of the Devil's Machine from EarthBound. In fact, the whole Bubblescape has a Magicant vibe to it. Not that EarhtBound references are anything new.

Eventually I was able to get a hang of Vantas' typing quirk by just zoning out, looking past the screen as if trying to see something far away, and keeping in mind that the 6s were b's and 9s were o's. Pyrope's typing quirk was no problem for me. If I were Hussie, I'd have had the 9s replace, I don't know, Ps? Replacing Os made them look pretty out of place. But "Whoa, 6uddy, I think we need to examine our 9rivalege" might have been a little cleaner. JT Jag fucked around with this message at 08:34 on Aug 31, 2012 |

I was fine with using 9's for O's because it fits with the theme of those rants (I'm sorry, "thoughtful and constructive dialogues") being unreadable. Also I loved the GamerGrl Remix for Latula's theme, here's hoping its on whatever forthcoming BeforusBound (BeforusFettered?) album they come out with in the future.

sitchelin posted:9 = o I also was amused that, as far as I can tell, he was the first character to mention 6ef9rus, which was a (hilarious) dick move. Similarly, I loved that Latula sometimes said 4 instead of for, coolkid style, but then had to clarify that she was or wasn't saying "a". That was all I really liked about her, unfortunately. Her irreverent gamer grl schtick, which I appreciated as a contrast to Aranea's living plot dump seriousness, had no substance to it, and not much wit either, so it grew old very fast. I did like her conversation with Porrim though, but more for Porrim's analysis of Latula than for Latula herself.

How old are these new trolls supposed to be? I didn't quite get the impression from Meenah and Aranea on their own but as a group they definitely seem like the "oldest" non-adult characters we've been exposed to so far. Porrim is my favorite of those we've just met.

They spent three sweeps playing the game itself (before dying) so I'd wager somewhere from ~16-19 in human terms depending on when they started playing the game. Of course a lot of them have spent millennia sitting around being useless all day.

If you're thorough about opening the treasure chests, one of the first ones when you come into the Prospit/Derse room (to the right when you enter, you should see Porrim hanging out where you can't reach her) mentions Beforus in a much more blunt manner, so I wasn't thrown off or confused by what he meant, thankfully.

Oh my god, everyone is adorable. And here I was feeling Hussie couldn't possibly keep making uniquely entertaining characters.  Can't wait to see Act 6 Act 6 Act 6 Act 5 Part 1, where we follow and love each of the 48 squiddles as they start playing. How many sub acts can there be? treasured8elief fucked around with this message at 09:58 on Aug 31, 2012 |

Whenever a new troll shows up, I always find it helps to read their dialogue out loud for a while. This has the extra bonus of making things even funnier if you try to keep a straight face the whole time! I was having trouble making it through Kankri's sermon, not for the 69s, but because I couldn't stop laughing. When I got to "cisblooded privilege" it nearly slayed me entirely.
