Speaking of games, I'm rather disappointed that Hussie hasn't been encouraging his fans to back Barkley 2, or at least throwing it a bone of notice with his fanbase. He's a huge Barkley: Shut Up and Jam Gaiden fan as I remember, so it's a bit sad that he's not helping its sequel be even more mystical.Cabbit posted:You know, I've never really understood what a conductor actually does at an orchestral performance. Do the highly trained and skilled musicians just not know when the hell to start playing, and if that guy with the baton wasn't there some tuba would just start blasting off his piece in the middle of the first movement? There's actually been studies on this using computerized studies & audiences, and a conductor does in fact make a BIG difference in performance. Here's a recent report on it from NPR.

Popo posted:As for Equius, were it not for few minor things like his distress over Aradiabot exploding and the last moments with Nepeta he'd just be a 1D character but with those he became rather likeable, in a disgusting, creepy racist kind of way. Sweaty aristocrats with fetishy mental hangups, super strength, genius robotics skills, rage problems they take out against machines in cage matches, personality problems, tradition-codified backstabbing relationships/rivalries with their fellow nobles, clever application of skills(Vriska's roboslap), tender friendship feelings for their best friends, hoodlum appearances, no romance acumen, and dignified appreciation for fine high-society art that happens to be horse porn in a person who's shown a moderate range of emotions: Not exactly the flattest or most cliche character concept in the world. In any other story, he wouldn't have had half of those attributes, and he'd have died as a boring asshat/pseudovillain and wouldn't have been missed by any reader. It's definitely more lack of time than lack of ability in Hussie to explain why not every character got to have the depth of the kids or more prominent trolls, since most of them at least had the potential to be more interesting, even if they didn't get to reach it. Cat Mattress posted:He's not even a backer. Maybe he doesn't know about it? Maybe he's backing it with Ryan North's kickstarter account. Tinfoil hat theory: He's secretly working on something for the game itself, in a twist to be revealed later to generate even more buzz.

"Time sure flies when you're being smooth and well dressed." DD is simply the best. I'm not sure what the deal is with the green windows, but they probably have an alchemical ancestor in common with Roxy's portal gun or something

I imagine the Tales of Games guys are Homestuck aware, if not full blown Homestucks, looking at their Kickstarter avatar. From what I remember of a past Formspring though, Hussie never actually played Shut Up and Jam Gaiden, he just heard about it from someone and threw in a quick reference. Dunno if he has played it since, however.

Luminous Obscurity posted:Wait whats with the Roxy walls? Did they take her gun? Well, Jack's office already had those windows, but they weren't green, which signifies that they're self-powered. Hmm. Not sure how they go those, unless, like you said, they're using Roxy. Or it's just a sign that the Big C is bringing new tech to the Derse Kingdom, like that Killgorg or whatever that DD never used. More importantly, why is today "a big day" for Derse? Hopefully not, like Dad Execution Day or something.

I'm guessing we'll see Jane's paternal figure in short order, dad or alive.

Well, yes, but most of the characters probably don't know most of those reasons. So I'm wondering which one they do know.

Come to think of it, I think this is a good sign for Jane's Dad. If Derse has been backlogged with paperwork for five months, then they probably haven't gotten around to dealing with many of their prisoners.

Paul.Power posted:The Condesce won't even write an apology, how's that going to work? Exchanging prisoners doesn't count as an apology. Apologizing means admitting you did something wrong; exchanging prisoners just means trading something you don't want for something you do.

And if the Dersite populace isn't aware that she's even holding Dad as a prisoner, the Condesce could make the trade on the down low and tell the tabloids that those Prospitian fucks got scared and decided to hand over our archagent in return for us not curbstomping them! That is what happened, put it in your paper immediately.
