I think we're waiting for this Wednesday because Cohen said there would be something particularly good after there being no interview last Wednesday.

They will announce the release date which will be 10/25, and that there won't be any more interviews or press until release so they can focus. Then when 10/25 rolls around, there will be nothing.

What a surprise that Cyberpunk 2077 is the actual epilogue to Homestuck and Hiveswap was just a distraction

Yo I got a question. Soon after Jade is introduced, why does she have some of these trolls in her Pesterchum list: http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002727 I thought Sollux never trolled the humans, so I don't understand why he'd be in the list. edit: As a general comment, my main issue with later Homestuck (by later I mean post-retcon, not all of Act 6) is that it had a general "fanfiction" sorta feel to it. It's hard to pinpoint specific things, but it seemed like the events that happened were the same sort of events that you'd expect to see people include in fanfiction (i.e. the sort of stuff random fans might write about when thinking "it'd be really cute/cool if X happened!"). The way Vriska was dealt with was a good example; it read like the fanfiction of someone who really likes Vriska. The best way I can think of to describe it is that some things sounded sorta like those shit_that_didnt_happen.txt stories where an interaction between people is unrealistically positive in a way that is clearly meant to be heartwarming (or something) to the reader. Like, there's a difference between "people being nice to each other" and "people being nice to each other in this weird exaggerated way that doesn't accurately represent how most people interact."

Karkat thought Jade was responsible for their predicament and he probably badgered him into going along with his harassment at least once.

Clawtopsy posted:When she met all the other characters after having all her problems solved and giving her a ring that restores life instead of good characters John had met, everyone pretty much said how beautiful she was except Terezi who said she was badass instead This scene kinda bugged me because it's one thing to be nice, but it's another to be so nice it comes off as downright patronizing. The whole thing with the ring always bugged me because it was a clear example of a situation with an opportunity cost. Like, Feferi or Nepeta or some other good (morally speaking) character could have been revived instead.

Pants Donkey posted:Still, better than characters that got hyped up and did all of jack poo poo, like Karkat, Jake, and so on. This is from a while back, but I feel like he didn't really know what to do with Karkat, because Karkat basically finished his whole character arc by the end of Act 5 and was a generally good, if a bit cranky, dude beyond that point. Jake always bugged me because I sorta found him interesting as an anti-John - like, someone who shares a lot of John's superficial traits/behavior but lacks most of his strengths - and was curious to see if he'd develop in an interesting direction later. But nope! edit: Oh, another thing that really bugged me is that post-retcon Vriska basically steals Karkat's whole role from him. Karkat is supposed be the "not personally powerful, but keeps everyone working together" guy, but everything goes to poo poo in the timeline without Vriska, which makes it seem like Vriska is better at doing his own job than he is. Then again, a lot of things related to Vriska are dumb as hell. I like how in that fan-continuation thing Vriska just fucks everything up.

Dave and Karkat were at each other throats fighting over Terezi; Dave was eventually pushed out of his relationship because he couldn't handle her black romance with Gamzee; Rose took up drinking because of the stress of wanting to do the auspistice thing with Terezi and Gamzee but not equipped to do it. Having Vriska back kept Terezi properly centred and focused so none of those problems came up.

Post recon Vriska was the one that magically kept everyone, Vriska was the one who came up with the plan that saved everyone, and Terezi was her simpering sidekick there to do whatever Vriska said.

Sometimes I remember the Karkat conversations in Meenahstuck and laugh at how naive we all were to think they'd actually lead somewhere.

Goddammit, I thought I was over getting mad about Homestuck but thinking about how poorly Terezi was handled post retcon is angering up my blood. Her friendship with Dave? Gone. Her friendship with Karkat? Gone. Her drive and motivation to do things not related to Vriska? loving gone. She's miserable, talks about how miserable she is, then after the comic she fucks off into space to look for Vriska because being Vriska's friend is now her sole goal and personality trait and John is the only one who gives a poo poo about her doing that and even then just barely. Fuuuuuuuck that sucked, so much of the ending sucked. ....so is anyone excited about Hiveswap?

I'm trying to wipe my mind clear of prejudice, and to look forward to Hiveswap with open eyes, and not care if it's good or bad until I have completed it. Let go of worldly desires for a good Hometuck game. That game will never exist the way you imagined it in your head, anyway.

By the way, the one post-retcon thing I actually kind of liked was the Dave/Karkat thing, even though I know most people don't like it. Not so much because they had much chemistry, but more because I feel like someone like Karkat is better for Dave than someone like Terezi. Dave's irony stuff is partly a front used to avoid expressing his true feelings, so I think the idea of him being in a relationship with someone who is generally sincere and not also constantly sarcastic/ironic is good for him.Tenebrais posted:It's often overlooked, but it's Terezi that held everyone together, not Vriska. Ultimately everything that tore apart the meteor crew the first time round was down to Terezi falling apart herself over the guilt. Dave and Karkat were at each other throats fighting over Terezi; Dave was eventually pushed out of his relationship because he couldn't handle her black romance with Gamzee; Rose took up drinking because of the stress of wanting to do the auspistice thing with Terezi and Gamzee but not equipped to do it. Having Vriska back kept Terezi properly centred and focused so none of those problems came up. I could be forgetting something, but during the montage it definitely seems like Vriska is more directly involved. She's the one who knocks the alcohol out of Rose's hands, and also seems to be mostly involved with trying to keep Terezi out of the toxic relationship with Gamzee. And that's not even getting into the fact that spending a bunch of time with still-egotistical/crazy Vriska can't be good for someone. A lot of characters in homestuck didn't have good/complete character arcs, but what I think particularly annoys me about Vriska is that she did have a character arc that ended in a reasonable place (with her chilling out and letting go of her desire to always be in the spotlight), and then the retcon undid all her character growth and just said "nah she was fine as she was before." That "act omega" thing is satisfying just for the scene with Vriska having a mental breakdown after her plan doesn't work correctly. Space Cadet Omoly posted:Her friendship with Dave? Gone. Her friendship with Karkat? Gone. Her drive and motivation to do things not related to Vriska? loving gone. The aforementioned "act omega" thing seems to share this view, because it has a scene with Karkat getting angry at Terezi for effectively defining herself as "Vriska's handler."

She had plot armor for basically no reason Then again, the problem is that all of the kids had arcs that troll the reader, too.
