New chapter, and some prime Karkat. :toot: though i don't remember when Dave died, was this the universe where he had a robot body or no?

It's more "presumed dead by everyone else in Candy-timeline Earth C" because nobody knows about the whole "getting a robot body from Obama and loving off into the void with the spooky Calliope" thing.

If this was directed at me, I'm just annoyed that we have yet to see Candy Roxy and Meat Roxy also hasn't gotten to do anything in a very long while and I'm expressing that frustration through a Simpsons meme.

The Davekat fans are getting all the food in Homestuck^2, but the Roxy fans are out starving in the rain.

Absolutely true. And it was weird that Dirk went from "omg Roxy is my bestest friend and the bestest person" to basically ignoring her in both Meat and Candy. He has an aside about he can't figure out what's going on with her because of the Voidy thing, but that's it.

We did see Candy Roxy, though. She and John had a pleasant heart-to-heart in Roxy's apartment.

I am highly amused by the number of people I brush online shoulders with who abandoned Homestuck after the Epilogues but are retweeting pictures of Hottie Commander Karkat.

She was in like two panels and didn't even get to say anything! :colbert:

This sponge bob meme captures my feelings about that:



Just replace Sponge Bob with Roxy in your mind because I'm too lazy to edit the image right now (and at all points in the future).

One of my Discords pointed that Jade is the most overpowered god-tier in the rebellion, with Dave high in the rankings. There is no strategic reason to have Jade and Dave off investigating ruins when they could and should be wreaking havoc. The only explanation is that Karkat is keeping Dave far from any possible heroic death.

I had forgotten that Roxy didn't say anything in that scene. Bah.

Look, if any of the Gods actually got off their assess and did something the race war would end in an hour and there would be no plot. The entire story hinges on all of them being too self absorbed in their petty little personal lives to meaningfully contribute to society.

Just like how the rich and powerful behave in the real world!

They did address your point of "why didn't John blow out the fire".

On the side of the fascists, we have
Jane

On the side of the rebellion, we have
Rose, Dave, Jade

Too depressed to be involved:
John

Too ambivalent to be involved:
Roxy

Too evil to be involved:
Dirk

As you say, Jane could have been curbstomped in about five minutes if the rebellion didn't worry about collateral damage. Her life powers aren't worth poo poo as an offensive weapon, and Jade could be tossing spaceships into the neverever like screaming confetti.

Because I don't have control of my actions I'm rereading Homestuck 1) more slowly 2) in the original format 3) while looking up discussions from around the time of big important stuff happening.

I'm enjoying myself to an alarming degree. I realize what a blur Act 5 was in my mind originally because I kinda hatebinged swatches of it. I plan to take a lengthy break before Act 6 so I won't get stymied like I did before by "Jesus why is this one so long better skim it even faster than 5"

This might have made reading Homestuck worth it, if only because I understand all of the stupid game logic for this to make sense.

Yeah, I misunderstood what was happening. I thought they were putting the game out because having a teaser for a release date is dumb.

It's supposed to be a lot longer and they redid the gameplay from the ground up, so signs are looking good.

Well, I haven't heard much, just that it has a play length of about 8 hours (although you can complete it in a longer or shorter time depending on how long you faff about) and the gameplay is more phoenix wright inspired this time.

Okay, I woke up my old Macbook so I could transfer my Hiveswap Episode 1 save files up to Google Cloud and down to my PC. I am just betting that Hiveswap Episode 2 will drop while I'm on the phone with a dying old college friend (not an exaggeration, it's a weekly thing, it sucks), or while I'm cooking supper.

e: Welp. I couldn't sleep last night, but my sense of decency apparently did. Sorry about that.

Hiveswap didn't use the Steam cloud because that would simplify life too much.

If you still have the same computer, here are the file locations for PC, Mac, and Linux.
