I read Problem Sleuth after seeing roughly one hojillion people with avatars from it, then went right to Homestuck after that thinking how could this possibly be any better??? I started reading on the page where John freaks out over the box of Gushers in his dad's room, for reference.

I came to this thread, saw the reposts of the gamzee-getting-scratched panels, wondered what the gently caress was up, went to the site, blitzed Problem Sleuth in one night, caught up to Homestuck about 4 days later, been here ever since.

It's not all that crazy. I more or less matched that speed when I read it, and I definitely know a few people who can read faster. Your brain turns to mush for about a week after.

I think I joined in the fun about halfway through Problem Sleuth's initial run, at the very least I remember being able to submit a couple of my own suggestions to the pile. So about four years ago. ...  It seriously doesn't feel like it's been that long.

That's about how long it took me to get up to Cascade in a reread, but that was a reread, and it was still a pretty draining experience. Though it might've gone faster if I hadn't been pestering a friend about every instance of foreshadowing that I hadn't noticed my first time through.

I started reading mspa around the beginning of Act 6 when I happened to stumble onto the website while trying to find another. I started reading Homestuck until John went downstairs. Then I realized that more comics had come before Homestuck. I read Problem Sleuth in a few weeks, then Jailbreak. Then I caught up on Homestuck in a couple of months. I got my friend into mspa by showing him the beginning of Problem Sleuth and how funny it was.

While you guys are waiting for Homestuck to resume, you can play around with the Homestuck Gmod Playset http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1186520 Info Link http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=131889 Download Link Apparently right as it got released, people flagged it because it's Homestuck  It's not malicious, me and my sister downloaded it and it's fine! It is a little buggy though, but that's to be expected. It has every character, a bunch of weapons, hugging, a corpse-smooching mechanic, and interchangeable glasses accessories

A long time ago I had wanted to make a Left 4 Dead 2 map out of the Felt Mansion but I gave up pretty quick because I didn't have any models for the Midnight Crew. I wonder if I still have those files around...

Are there any good remixes of The Ballad of Jack Noir? It gives me a good Wario Land vibe and I'm hoping there's some more "dark" chiptunes.

It reminds me a lot of Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Little Rocket Knight Adventures too. But yeah, you could basically say any Sonic game, or heck, any Genesis/Mega Drive game. Was it made using the tools the Genesis/Mega Drive used?

I just finished Problem Sleuth having decided to finally get around to reading it. I quite enjoyed it. I think it helped that this time I read quickly and tried not to think too hard about it. The super-long DMK battle wasn't so bad since I knew about it in advance. Compared to Homestuck there is definitely a noticeable shallowness and lack of emotional resonance due to the greater silliness and lack of character-building (Homestuck having actual dialogue makes a huge difference of course), but it was still fun, and it was nice to see the origin of some of the tropes and references later used in Homestuck. Also now I appreciate this avatar more I guess?

I'd really love the thought of Equius not being permanently vaporized, and would be happy at him getting some role in the story again, however minor, but this theory feels like a bit of a stretch to me. I think they might be giving the ol' lovable horsefriend just a bit too much credit, especially since if any dead troll still has a chance to make a meaningful resurfacing, it's probably Vriska, and even that I'm not holding my breath on.

I don't know why people are assuming that, because Equius is appearing in normal clothes and appearance in these dream bubbles, he was the 'alpha Equius' that was killed by Gamzee. This could be just any old Equius from dream Feferi or dream Eridan or Aradiabot #413's beta timeline. I want to believe.

The trolls generated a lot of failed timelines. Equius' death was definitely the most final of all the characters pronounced dead on-panel, though. He got to say goodbye to Nepeta and appeared to have no unfinished development. His ancestor didn't have a huge role, either - Aranea didn't even mention a Zahhak! - and we got no sense of what he thought of Darkleer anyway, so that's a dead end as well. He was there to round out the zodiac, establish that Void powers trump all known forms of omniscience, and appreciate horses. He performed these tasks admirably! Narratively speaking, stick a fork in him.
