Maybe I've forgotten the exact particulars, but I was thinking that the house destruction could still be in B2's future. And the only thing that would need to happen vis-a-vis dead family would be that he and Jane manage to avoid meeting back up until after the events of fedorafreak's chatlog; it's not unreasonable for him to assume she's dead after the (theoretical, future) houseboom.

There are no imps in the Land of Crypts and Helium, leading to a tremendous shortage of grist.

You get used to it. I don't

is Ipecac, Scapular, Polyphemus...


Hussie said on his twitter this morning (or last night? whatever) said that he's been busy working on Openbound, to explain the slow updates. I'm wondering if this means it's coming soon. I know they said that beta testers would get to test part 3 as well, but I believe someone also said that they didn't really need testers for part 3. So it could go either way.

Yeah, I don't see why we'd need to test taking two steps and then getting vaporized by Lord English.

The entire work has been towards working on the animation for this moment. It will exceed that of Caliborn: Enter, and even Cascade. Hyperealistic blast processing skeletons dream bubble vaporization.

According to gankro there is not much in it right now except for the new characters and how they act, etc.

And also a 1000x1000 animated gif of hussie eating, for some reason.

We've seen that nothing in an alpha timeline can ever be undone, and that sessions and universes exist in separate (albeit related) timelines.

It's certainly consistent in regards to what we've seen of universes so far: that their timelines are utterly independent of each other. To support you some more, the B1 universe has to still exist in some fashion because Jake managed to send Liv Tyler to it.

Gcat only has 2 things we still need to learn. One is his creation, so we know what time loop he has to fulfill, and two is his ending, probably at the same time as the condesce.

TT: The upper echelons of irony should always include measures of sincerity. And if the satirical practice is executed faithfully it will achieve something bona fide in its own right regardless.
TT: Through an intense commitment bordering on religious devotion to the absolutely inane, absurd, or plain loving stupid, a very different kind of sincerity begins to materialize. One of reverence to the ridiculous. You begin to "mean it," but what exactly it is you mean is never quite what appears on the surface, and is utterly inaccessible to obtuse and literal minds. That you "mean it" then becomes inseparable from the joke, and additional rich strata of humor may be stripped aggressively from this irreconcilable truth.

The fandom is slowly becoming Dirk.

Nice to see my alma mater represented on SA. Ever True, motherfuckers. :cryingbearflag:

Yeah though I saw a guy in a Breath hoodie at work like last week and was kind of taken aback by it, and I'm not even sure why since he was just at a normal day of work rather than going to hear the Dalai Lama speak or anything approaching that level of seriousness. I think it's just that Internet and Real Life are supposed to be separate. :saddowns:

Seeing full-on troll cosplays in the park for no reason or at county fairs is a little different, though. HEY, INTERNET. COUNTY FAIRS ARE NOT CONVENTIONS.

My roommate started reading Homestuck last semester. I remember when he got to Cascade. Thus far, though, I only actually know of like maybe... one or two other folks who read Homestuck outside of my program house.

I don't know anything about Xamag or Russia, so when she was described as a '16-year-old illustrator living in Russia's Ural mountains' I just pictured a girl sitting cross-legged at the altar of a wide-plan temple surrounded by countless pieces of Homestuck art.

When I read that my first thought was some young mystic holed up in a Russian Orthodox monastery somewhere, or a teenaged savant working in an underground Cold War bunker. But in reality Russia's not that much different nowadays than anywhere else and she probably just lives in the suburbs.

Appreciating how much Vriska we've been getting lately. I like the slow trickle of information regarding the actual plans the kids and trolls have currently. The comic is getting back to the pacing that act 6 tossed by the wayside early in.
