I was with it until the extended foot ball in universe chat happened at which point it lost me pretty hard. I'm a sucker for mystery stuff like this started out, but then once we get into the actual meat of the story, we abandon the main focal point in favor of seemingly random other characters who have no relevance or set up beyond being there in the moment, and when we return to the focal character, he's no more informed than we are. It's an excellent start, just way too hard a swerve away from the mystery and it's immediate answers. If I had to compare it to Homestuck, which I guess I should since it got brought to this thread, it'd be like if in Act 1 of Homestuck, once the game stuff started happening, we suddenly swerved into the Alpha Trolls without real context or meaning and then returned to basically where we were before hand.

Clawtopsy posted:oh god ive become abe simpson Alright grandpa, calm down, here's a legit summary of 17776 so far so you can understand it and decide if it's something you might be interested in: Three space satellites (Nine, Ten, and Juice) have become self aware. They spend their time chatting with each other and watching American football via Earth broadcasts sent into space. However, the football games they watch are much different from the ones we're familiar with because the year is 17776 and something has gone terribly wrong. Back in 2026 people stopped being born, aging, and dying. Everyone is thousands of years old and immortal, so games and everything else have gotten really weird. The story is basically about just observing this strange ageless world as an outsider alongside the satellites and learning what it's all about.

it's kind of odd you start with thinking that (spoilering I guess???) it's some terrible apocalypse situation, which is a common thing for homestuck alikes, but it's the exact opposite of an apocalypse. Not sure where any conflict is going to come from Juice reminds me of Roxy.

I got a review copy for a new visual novel lately, and started playing it... to my surprise, i met a cute AI anime girl. My point is, i'm really surprised at just how much of an impact Autoresponder had on the global writing community.

In this visual novel i'm playing, several different girls fall in love with the protagonist - an interesting literary allusion to the famed Homestuck Alpha Kid Love Quadrangle.

Homestuck does not have to be a root to some kind of tree from which all other quirky webmedia stories derive, it can just be a touchstone for folks with some common shared interests to connect each other to other cool media they might like. Whether or not something can be described as truly "like Homestuck" comes second to the fact most of the recommendations people have made in this thread have been pretty good. I mean poo poo, Amazon and Google and all the rest are allowed to compile big ol' databases of preferences and probabilities based on what you like and therefore might like, what's wrong with us doing it too? Doesn't have to be some well-defined genre for there to be some correlations.

my take on the matter is that Homestuck is somewhere between a running joke and a formative experience for a very wide segment of a generation of creative types, and as such you shall never be truly free of it and while im at it, for all its faults, the story does possess some undeniably amazing moments to point to. im thinking here of things like the EoA4, Rose: Descend, the entire exchange between John and Vriska where she does the unimaginable by actually apologizing for something, the couplet of Dirk flashes, etc etc. its a large enough piece of media that you can find good in it while also acknowledging that it kind of petered out to no great effect. paranoid randroid fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Jul 8, 2017 |

I feel like attempting to sell something on the basis of "it's like Homestuck but..." undermines the creative value of the work being discussed. I am absolutely all about discussing aesthetic, conceptual, and thematic similarities between works, but framing it as "like Homestuck but" when the work in question bears at-most superficial similarities does a disservice to it by creating that parallel before anyone can engage with the work on its own terms.

This, but we could also do without the "  Ah, it's Just Like HomeStuck you say? Then where is John? Hmmm? How can it be exactly like Homestuck if there is no John? Checkmate fool."Conversations about similarities in media is pretty much all we have at this point, and it generally is pretty interesting when you get deeper into it.
