ANY GOOD OPINIONS THIS POSTER CLAIMS TO HAVE ARE JUST PROOF THAT BULLYING WORKS

as i understand it, the biggest problem with homestuck is its fans

that and its text density

it's like the end of problem sleuth FROM THE START

problem sleuth was fun because the games "rules" clearly got more and more complex as the story went on, to the point of silliness that nobody would actually program this thing

homestuck appears to be a genuine effort to actually build out the insane ruleset implied in problem sleuth

It's a very long multimedia webcomic written by a funny guy. Its primary feature is its terrible, obsessive fans. i like it and i'm mostly sure that's not just because I was still in high school when I started reading it.

Alone, she fights.
homestuck has over 700,000 words and 3-4 hours of flashes. it's really long and is best enjoyed by discussing it with friends who read it and never going to any fansite of any sort, much like everything else. basically this:

i read the first 200-ish updates recently and it seemed okay, but not something I'd spend time reading if I wasn't stuck at a desk. the random flash interactivity was clever though.

didn't the same guy do a stick figure cyoa comic in gbs ages ago that involved a guy with a pumpkin stuck on his head?

WELL, Jon, our house and the vet are now no more than private estates of the Arbuckle family. No, I warn you, that if you do not tell me we are at war, if you again allow yourself to palliate all the infamies and atrocities of this Nermal (upon my word, I believe he is), I don't know you in future, you are no longer my friend, no longer my faithful slave, as you say.

on that last point, i am old status and tried reading a little of it to see what the fuss was about. it's bad. ten, twenty years from now you will wonder what you ever saw in it

this happens to most (not all) of the poo poo you like as a teen. hope you like slowly losing your youthful enthusiasm for bad culture as your body slowly begins betraying you and the dread of mortality comes to dominate your every waking moment before you mercifully expire

speaking of bad culture you love when you're an idiot babby, wing commander 3 was p. awesome when i played it in the 1990s and i'm p. sure it's actually terrible to the point that i have like zero desire to play it again. chris robert's kickstarted attempt to revive his career as a maker of bad wannabe ww2 movies in fmv cutscene form appears to finally be melting down the way everyone thought it would. if you haven't checked out the shart citizen thread in a while because it was getting boring, skim through the past two-ish weeks

(a bunch of the drama was kicked up by extensive, on-point public criticism of the project by none other than DEREK SMART! mixed with an assload of self promotion because DEREK SMART, but holy lol we are through the looking glass. for added comedy george "duke nukem forever" broussard recently tweeted an admonishment to stop buying pixel ships for hundreds of dollars you idiots)
