It's called the rapture because Hussie raptured his rear end in a top hat when crapping out the colossal turd that was the ending!!!

It's called the rapture because Andrew Hussie chose to build a doomed hellcrap underwater tard-town populated entirely by freaks and geeks!!!

It's called the rapture because when you see it you'll make a RAP about how this ms paint advenTURE is bad!!!

When it got Greenlit i assumed January was a safe bet, but then two weeks passed with the typical silence and I knew a delay was coming.

I didn't really have the money to kickstart it, and I definitely dodged a bullet there.

I didn't feel like there was something unacceptable about the ending when I marathoned the archive. It did seem arbitrary, but so did the whole comic.

Twenty years from now, when robots are everywhere and we all have flying cars, you'll still sometimes think of how disappointing that ending was and feel a little annoyed. This is the cross you must bear.

Also, whoever it was that said "Night in The Woods" is a good game is right, I just started playing it and I already love it.

All you get is a journal doodle for them. Don't worry about it.
I guess it's kind of the opposite of undertale where instead of expecting the player to use saving/reloading and making it a story thing, here you don't get game overs and like life you just live with the success of failure of what you do.

Except children of alcoholics frequently become alcoholics? It's not unusual to become the person you hate.

Rose's alcoholism is something that could have been explored in an interesting way, but wasn't.

Most of Homestuck can be described as "__________ something that could have been explored in an interesting way, but wasn't."

Haha, if you want 'em, sure. I'm on the East Coast. These are the cards that came with the Paid Too Much tier on Kickstarter. The cards are fine, the packaging's a little beat up because it's crappy cardboard. I'd let em go for $10 plus shipping.

This reminds me of the last time Karkat was seen: it was in the Halloween snapchat updates, he was dressed as Geromy and standing blank faced in the background behind a pair of Striders mugging for the camera. Every other character got to wear a costume that referenced either their interests or something they'd done, but not Karkat. Instead of being dressed as a character from a romantic comedy or troll Will Smith or a crab or anything else specific to him Karkat is dressed as a minor character from Sweet bro and Hella Jeff, something he had gently caress all to do with throughout the entire comic. He's just an empty eyed prop in someone else's inside joke.

It's amazing/depressing how well that encapsulates what ended up happening to his character.

Actually, I thought about this too while I was making that first post and realized that each of them do have in story connections to ghost and/or busting them: Jade played a Ghostbuster before in a MMORPG, Calliope and Jane are both actual ghosts (Calliope is only kept alive by the ring of life and Jane is another form of Nanasprite), and Roxy is a hero of Void and void as an aspect is strongly implied to have a connection to the outer rim where ghosts live. That last one is a bit of a stretch, but it still makes more sense than Karkat = Geromy.

Although I do agree that Leslie Jones is funny and good.

People are still pissed about the Harry Potter epilogue and it's been nearly seven years.

People are still pissed about The Phantom Menace and it's been nearly eighteen years.

Getting pissed off about stupid stuff is fun, and it's also fun to talk about that stupid stuff with other pissed off people.

That's basically what this whole site and a lot of the rest of the Internet was founded on.
