Homestuck is Bob and George for the new age, because both had endings that some people found to be pretty stupid

this reminds me of when Undertale came out and a bunch of inane people were like, "wow, Undertale is like Homestuck, done right!". It's like saying a pizza is a cheesecake done right. It really just belies a deep obsession with Homestuck such that all consequent media is consumed through its lens.
I feel they're justified. Let us look at hard evidence here. Here's a completely random Undertale screenshot:

while it isnt Homestuck Done Right, its pretty spiffy yeah. updates can be a little sporadic from time to time because the artist has a self-destructive addiction to drawing massive, dense spreads, but aside from that i highly recommend it.

What?

Real talk, if you're itching for the same kind of "slowly figuring out how the story's world works" that Problem Sleuth/early Homestuck had in a story that also happens to be driven by reader suggestions, check out Awful Hospital. The best description I can really give without spoiling anything is that it's a story about a grey green lady looking for her son, who's sick", which is an understatement on the level of "homestuck is a story about kids and fun". It's way more creepy and horror story-ish in tone than homestuck though, so there's that, but it never goes beyond something you'd expect out of a creepy adventure game.

There's a section in the middle where it really drags because the author was experimenting and it turned into a mini D&D module, but it all comes back together. The author dropped all the stuff that didn't work with it afterwards and the story gets really good again.

That's MSPaint Masterpieces you're thinking of, not MSPaintAdventures. Easy mistake to make, I know.

I mean, yes, but at least Rich Burlew has been transparent about it. I think this was more a case of drastically overpromising, but he's been slowly delivering on things, e.g. earlier this month he sent backers a (really very good) 96-page comic.
Exactly what I was getting at--Rich is *still* delivering on his Kickstarter success, years after the fact. The O'Chul comic was great!

I liked Car Boys enough, but there are definitely better narrative LPs out there. On this very site no less. Or at least the archive.

Adventure Zone scratches the Homestuck itch, though. I'll give you that.

Awful Hospital is real good.

Also the creator has made it clear that there won't be any romantic subplots to get in the way.

over the weekend i got persona 5 and there is a character who wears cerulean with white spiderweb patterns, and ignored the rules for her perceived greater good

Oh, I forgot about Dr. Takemi, yeah I can kind of see the resemblance.

I although thought Clawtopsy was talking about another character who shows up much later(Chihaya, cause her dress kind of looks like it has spider webs on it) and I was just kind of amazed he could play that far in one weekend.

The webcomic It Hurts!! just ended and I have to say, tired as the "comparing everything to Homestuck" meme is, it told a much better story about the creation of a new universe than Homestuck did.

That may not be entirely fair, because It Hurts!! is a much better story than a lot of things.

Apparently Hussie made an appearance at a convention this past weekend...

quote:

At the Expo, many of the fans asked Mr. Hussieabout Act 6 Act 6 Act 6 and Act 7. He said, "I don't have a problem about the way it ended. If there's a problem, it's with you guys." Then he grabbed the mic and said, in Alternian, "Too bad."

This is 100% legit. I just read the last strip after having read exactly none of what preceded it and...yeah, Regy Rusty speaks the truth.

It was alright. For most of it the sense of humor didn't really click with me and nothing at all about Aurora's character appealed to me, making it difficult to empathize with Pasqualo's motivations for the most part, and as a direct result of that Katie kind of gets a raw deal (not that any of it ends up mattering). I actually think I was happier just having read the ending.

Saying something is better than Homestuck is at best tautological and at worst needlessly redundant, because literally every single piece of fiction up to and including that Sonic fuckfic whatever shameful goon itt is writing is better than Homestuck.

I read the first 8 strips and they were awful. I read the beginning of the last strip and it was pretty cool but if there are many more strips like the first 8 it's not worth it. At what point does it get good?
