I feel like y'all need to tattoo "ALL FOUR ACTS OF HIVESWAP FREE FOR BACKERS" on your arms so you don't forget.

Because you always forget.

And yes I'm aware that it's likely due to the length of time it's been since Act 1, but even so. We go through this every time.

Ironically, Viz's arm in all of this (publication and distribution of the printed volumes) is the portion lagging behind the most as of late. We're supposed to be at Book 7 right about now.

Well, Hussie has to both figure out how to snapshot all the Flashes and write commentary, and apparently he's been a busy little bee this year.

Still stupid
The derision with which he treats the page content in the most recent book (specifically the 150 pages for the first troll meteor game, which is the part I've got through so far) didn't occur to me until now that he'd probably only be that sarcastic about his own work / choices. He writes as though someone else handled the screenshotting.

It was a little disappointing that a wider variety of animation frames for the chat sprites wasn't captured.

Hint: It's when you play FLARP with Vriska.

Try for Petticoat Seagrift class and name your character Vriska. For the other one go for Boy Skylark and name your character Tavros.

Pretty sure it's the same reaction I got for "Aranea Serket", though she was cool with "Meenah Piexes"

He's said in interviews that some one else handled/handles the book formatting. All he does is provide the commentary.

The hover was broken for me in the first release, so I was picking attributes blindly. Knowing what they actually were did help a lot.

I quite enjoyed the epilogues but reading like a million words of "what Homestuck is meant to read like" really highlights to me how H^2 has failed to properly capture the tone so far. You just didn't really have the same charm or honesty coming across in any of the dialogue.

I like to think that it's just because all of the dialogue so far has included Dirk, who has no charm or honesty

Dirk's a tool, but generally a more charming tool in Act 6.

Homestuck^2 is definitely interesting, but I think it has a ways to go to win me over. That's fine, though, I'm willing to give it the time.

He's a horrible abusive boyfriend to the entire universe but he still had some fun moments in the epilogue, like dead-cherub intentionally riling him up by using inaccurate sword metaphors or his tendency to get lost in his own thoughts and ramble about sexuality or something. That sense of personality seems largely gone in H^2.

Eridan is inarguably the second-worst troll (Gamzee still wins) but has he even once mentioned (A) sweat or (B) milk? I rest my case.

I used to read way too much homestuck and fell off hard somewhere in act 6. eventually after the story finished I went back and marathoned everything else to the end.

then I read the (recaps of) the epilogues for the first time just now

what the gently caress

Dirk talks a big game, but he's actually very prudish and repressed when it comes to both sex and sexuality.

I'm never going to get over this because he could have sampled an actual good song like Black or Umbral Ultimatum, but chose to reuse a shitpost about a 13-year-old irony-poisoned rapper giving birth to a Con Air obsessive who is somehow his teenaged best friend and also his baby.
