Yeah, I think this is a Dyne situation. And speaking of flames, I see that the boys in 2Slices are finally successfully gay for each other! Good for them!

Lucrezia would've been in a good spot to figure out something about how the Dyne works in her secret lab underneath the place where the castle draws its energy from the Dyne. I guess somebody who was already a mad scientist before finding the source of the Queens' power would be more diligent at investigating it than a Conan-style barbarian. And of course, since these queens apparently built their thrones atop already ancient temples and shrines, that means there's another level to whatever's going on with that. Also I really can't figure out how the red-haired lady's face works.

The General Webcomics thread is where we push webcomic discussions out of the nest like baby birds to see if they can fly on their own to get a thread or crash down to Earth to get mentioned once every few weeks.

A couple podcasters I listen to started a podcast where they work through all of Homestuck and do a critical analysis of it so I ended up reading through the whole thing over the last few weeks and now I'm wondering something about what was in there while it was being uploaded. Were the Terezi password page links always there as it was being made or did they only show up after they got to the point in the story when they're relevant? I'm guessing they weren't there in the first place, or at least had no solution?

I didn't have the endurance to make it through all the human chatlogs, so I skimmed, but when the trolls got big, I got even less information from skimming the chatlogs, and eventually I had missed out on so much and didn't keep with updates at all so I quit at some point before it fully metastasized. From what I know about it, I think these features where what made it feel like something really special to get a huge following:

Yeah I can see why Homestuck was so big when it was being made, this kind of lore-heavy mystery box type of thing just became the entire media landscape that we're all sick of by now but at the time it was new and crazy to see in a webcomic. It's funny reading it now after years of people talking about how impossible and complicated it is and just encountering a fairly simple and accessible story if you're willing to read through 8000+ pages.

They were fun early on, but they kept getting longer and longer as the story went on. Eventually it just got to a point where I had absolutely no idea what was going on, and then they started introducing a million more characters, so I just had to drop it. The podcast, Homestuck Made This World, is basically about the points you listed here, yeah. Although they haven't gotten to the weird, complicated troll romance/sex stuff, that's gonna be fun. They also talk about the Homestuck thread from these very forums as a useful archival tool for contemporary reactions, since the official MSPA forums were nuked from orbit ages ago.

There are the walkaround interludes, which can burn quite a lot of time if you're trying to get everything or even just most things or occasionally just trying to get all the way through. The idea of interactive bits with skippable optional content that readers could take or leave depending on their level of engagement with the deeper lore was an interesting one, although they were kind of slow and clunky. I also wonder how appealing they are to archival readers; when you were getting these big updates that were spaced out a bit, killing some extra time to plunge the walkarounds for scraps of content didn't seem so bad, but when you have the whole archive to read at your own pace I'd think that going back through extra routes and dialogue trees probably seems like more of a chore compared to simply moving on with the story. (Not that it matters super much anymore, since the interactive flashes have been replaced with embedded youtube videos.)

I have a vague memory of a comic. There were demons in it, and every time one dies, it entered a deeper and more terrifying level of hell, which I think went on forever. I can't even remember if this was a big part of the comic. Anyone remember it?

I really want him to just yell that "Lester has it!" but Oscar ever made the decisions I thought he should make he wouldn't be in this situation to begin with. At least we know who he's dealing with now. Assuming this is Hekek or Tlaltecuhtli, somehow? Maybe someone novel too I suppose. My bet is on the second despite it being kind of a stretch, due to the missing eye and association with hearts.

Every time I see a Nedroid I get two good laughs. One from the punchline of the comic in front of me, and one from my urge to go back and read the giant robot one on the basketball court. Was he the one doing the colors for Squirrel Girl?

One webcomic I remember liking, but haven't thought about in probably over a decade is Bob And George - so I figure I might as well spend some time re-reading it, to see how it holds up.

You know what's wild? Not only does User Friendly still exist, but there's still people active in it's weird not-a-forum under each comic. Like I know we joke about SA being dead, but that's just surreal to me.
