Whilst I agree we didn't see enough to make truly conclusive statements on the potential powers and effective use of powers. We can however talk about powers that are likely unable to deal with Bec Noir's first guardian abilities, given there's a select few potential ways of dealing with a near-instant back stab.
Knight of Blood is one of the least likely to be able to deal with such an ability, given much of the emphasis on Blood and Karkat is on leadership, so weaponizing others. Essentially he as an individual is likely to be weak and not possessing powers capable of dealing with Bec, but improving the abilities of others.
The possible curve ball is the vitality element of Blood, perhaps he becomes incredibly hard to kill, or gains a healing element. Even still he'd likely be unable to do much against Bec, especially in comparison to the other trolls.
Either way, it's fun to think about what the trolls could have done with their powers. Shame we'll never learn about it though.

Post fan theories, because why not at this point.
>All aspects have at least one metaphysical and physical manifestation. Light, for example, can manifest as both physical light, or as fortune/sight.
>Space is the only aspect that has a sex restriction, being exclusive to female players.
>Any session without a space and time player is doomed to be void.
>Which classes are exclusive to which genders is determined by gender views of the culture that the players come from. Humans and Trolls have similar enough gender views that their classes have the same gender restrictions.
>A side-effect of the glitch that summons Lord English to a session is that the player's species will, at some point in their history, develop a language that's identical to English. This is why there's no language barrier between the Humans and the Trolls.
>>83462554
DENTALPLAN
Remember when this was true for more than just Sollux?
>>83462605
I'm pretty sure the middle one is canon
i like that last one
also space exclusive to girls
>>83462605
>Which classes are exclusive to which genders is determined by gender views of the culture that the players come from. Humans and Trolls have similar enough gender views that their classes have the same gender restrictions.
This doesn't make much sense to me. Troll gender roles seem to be non-existent or maybe I'm not thinking of them right now.
>>83462665
nepeta still isn't relevant
what is it with nudestuckers and that one bad dragon dildo
>>83462605
>space exclusive to girls
>time not exclusive to guys
this bothers my autism
>>83462665
>implying Davepetasprite^2 turned out to be important
>>83462697
It's how tentabulges got started
>>83462697
which?
>>83462605
>Some species fuck up by attempting to hack Sburb from any game discs made from the code or incomplete/tampered code, which always cascades into and essentially turns their entire planet into a broken psuedo-session, which always ends badly and in a mish mash apocalypse as a session attempts to propagate outside the Medium, flooding it with glitches and improbabilities, making it impossible to host a session and propagate any universes
>>83462721
It was the closest thing to a conclusion to Davesprite's story as we'll ever get.
>>83462665
Why did sollux have to become the third most unimportant troll after Eridan and Feferi
>>83462746
>>83462729
Whats worst, not knowing which dildo they meant or instantly knowing
How does his hair look?
And what should I do for clothes? His inspiration is akira-style cyberpunk and sci-fi shit.
>>83462793
That wasn't a conclusion. That was a murder.
>>83462793
not really. Davepeta did nothing important.
the sprites^2 did nothing important
They were a completely pointless development
>>83462690
>Troll gender roles seem to be non-existent or maybe I'm not thinking of them right now.
While they are nowhere near as pronounced as Humans, there do seem to be some gender roles in Troll society. We never see male trolls wear skirts, for example, and the maternal Jade Bloods are mostly women.
Not to mention probably the most maternal figure in Troll society, the Mother Grub, is identified as female.
>>83462712
If it makes you feel any better, since there needs to be both a time and a space player, time is slightly more likely to be male, and has to be male in a two player session.
Oh wait, I forgot another theory I had.
>Sessions must always have an equal number of each sex, due to the nature of ectobiology. A session that doesn't is doomed to become a void session.
>>83462790
That sounds cool.
>>83462669
I think the middle one is implied, but I'm not sure if it's actually canon.
>>83462806
We theorized he hacked his way out of MSPA itself to go hide out in old abandoned websites with Feferi so he can exist in fucking peace away from all his idiot friends and the doomed hellhole that spawned him
>>83462823
Face is bland as fuck, fix that. Add some personality.
>>83462847
I never said Davepeta did anything important, I'm just saying Davesprite's whole arc died with Davepeta.
>>83462858
That still seems really weird. I thought a lot of that was for theological references and so they didn't seem *too* alien. Gender seems like a wholly useless concept in troll society.
>>83462925
They're human with grey face paint and candy corn horns. They have Troll Will Smith for fuck's sake.
>>83462925
I always figured it was a remnant of older times where trolls may have reproduced without the aid of a secondary species.
>>83462905
davesprite's arc died with the ship.
He didn't do anything after that point.
Davepeta was as much as anything post-retcon was. Which is say; not at all.
Just a series of half-hearted frankenstein fixes on a cast that previously had personal problems which could have been meaningfully addressed in the comic.
>>83462823
Give him a jacket similar to Kaneda's, then.
>>83462858
I feel like it was a real missed chance for Hussie to not spend time making some little illustrated side booklet for sale about different kinds of session glitches and session types that can happen. Some general fun 'History of Misfortune' kind of game book deal.
I could spend hours dreaming up scenarios and ideas like that.
>>83462982
If they're so human then why does their parents an animals??
>>83462982
Except for the part where they have racial hierarchies and constantly murder each other.
>>83462984
That's actually really interesting.
>>83463027
You might like the Sburb Glitch FAQ, then, if you're not put off by fan aspects and classes.
>>83463060
because concept != execution
>>83462925
It's very possible that Troll sexes are vestigial, being the remainders of a pre-Mother Grub proto-Troll species. It's also very possible that some subconscious remnants of these times remain within the Troll's psyche.
It's kind of like how Dragons are actually a combination of several predators of early primates that have been ingrained in the Human psyche, except with gender roles.
>>83463027
I would love a Sburb strategy guide just in general, there's so much that I would love to see explained about Hussie's universe, he didn't do nearly enough world building with the time he had.
>>83463085
I see.
>>83463115
I guess I forgot about that. It still doesn't really affect the trolls' behavior so I'm still not 100% on board with it.
>>83463075
Eh, that had some good material, but not much, and I didn't care for the premise. In my writing I'd focus way more on broad session types and ideas, and for that as an example, would just write that as a doomloop of some sort where you just endlessly fractal into the same frog and timeline or something, never able to win the game.
How balanced is sburb? Are some class/aspect combos just plain better than others?
>Hussie made Karkat completely useless to get revenge on the cancer that killed his father.
>>83463062
>Except for the part where they have racial hierarchies and constantly murder each other.
like humans?????????????
>>83463115
>Dragons are actually a combination of several predators of early primates that have been ingrained in the Human psyche
Never heard that, neat
>>83463206
Nobody knows or can say beyond "Lord and Muse are ultraclasses" because Hussie wrote it very sloppily.
>>83463206
different classpects are good at different things. a prince of life is infinitely stronger at combat than a seer of life, but conversely, a prince of life is really bad at healing and support compared to the seer of life.
>>83463214
whoever said lowbloods were like black people all those years ago honestly nailed it
looked down on by the assholes higher on the social ladder but stronger and feared
>>83463214
Murdering people is not a form of proper human interactions. Our racial hierarchies are mostly gone and were never as complex or structured as the troll's. Not to mention the vast genetic diversity between the different blood colors.
>>83463206
Page is hard mode confirmed and other classes like rogue or thief seem to have it easy
>>83463261
This post is a trainwreck.
>>83463268
*trolls'
>>83463268
>Murdering people is not a form of proper human interactions.
depends on the country.
>>83463206
All the classes aside from Lord/Muse are supposed to be balanced, although some are better at combat than others.
Hope is apparently the most powerful aspect, it's difficult to gauge how it works after that.
>>83462863
>Sollux and Feferi just chilling around in old-ass websites like the Space Jam website, smoking weed and pondering what went wrong

>>83463331
OK, how many specifications are you going to force me to make here? ;( Murder is never legal because of your social status. At least, not that I know of.

>>83463285
>implying you don't fear black people
>>83462790
This reminds me of that idea from some threads back about possible dead session variants or intentions, like it sucking up an entire still-living planet, turning everyone in the world into players, or only having a single hidden player of some sort, turning it into world wide disaster mystery as they explore their Medium to understand what happened, maybe with the cueball doom setup, or something insane like billions of Lands looping in and around a giga-Skaia like a giant rainbow malestrom
>>83463435
Get a load of this loser, too low on the social totempole to get away with murder
Hey, would you all want to have the "equipment"is there even a term for them as a whole? They're all kind of just called out individuallyas a solid figure/statue or as a "playset" where you could move around the parts, disassemble them, etc.? Making a solid one would be cheaper and stronger (less parts to break) but making them disassemble-able could be fun but take more time and cost more.

>>83463595

Hussie made a gargantuan mistake moving away from neat game jokes and concepts and, you know, actually playing the game. He wanted to move away from that, but all the other shit he focused on was dull, shallow, and pedantic with none of the charm. I wanted to see them, DESPITE the setbacks and bullshit, still actually trying to play the game in beats and parts, instead of the massive absences and skipping over gigantic swathes of time and then just hard-dumping the rest to get it out of the way.

The whole thing was solid gold, I could reread it forever.
>>83463995
thats some good art
>>83463902
i imagine that an ingredient to get this hammer would be like an eightball hammer. It would have different outcomes of damage based on the hammer result
>>83463999
It's kind of raw but Hussie does his best work with flat, simple characters who are more archetypes, getting into funny situations with incredible contrivances. He is really not fit nor will ever be fit to write complex dialogue and interactions, and he shouldn't try.
>>83463902
I miss being excited about Homestuck... Like I am legitimately sad about it.
>>83463902
Honestly, I would have rather seen the trolls get more indepth with playing sburb than read about their relationships for most of Hivebent. I wish that would have happened with the Alpha kids too, but their whole session was designed around them bitching about relationship issues.
>>83464058
It was done by tricotee, and like so many other good artists they deleted most of their homestuck work. It's mostly here though http://mspabooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=tricotee
>>83464107
Yeah. Me too. I don't think I have ever felt or will ever feel the same kind of, just, raw creative mass potential and shared hysterical fever of those early days as the mystery unfolded every day, or really, more tore itself apart into scraps. I had no idea such a mania was possible.
>>83464107
When did we lose that sense of adventure and discovery?
I say it was the Doc Scratch intermission.
>>83464164
>Deleted
So many of them did this. Huge swathes. Especially old art team. It's like they just wanted to be free of a dirty thing, and this was years before the ending even.
>>83464199
well it did get bad before the ending happened
>>83464184
Hivebent was when it started to die off for me
>>83464184
I think I can peg that as around when I started to have an active exhaustion with updates instead of anticipation, though I was winding down to that for a bit without realizing it. I remember having to load on my shitty iTouch the page while I was getting gussied up for a party with a bunch of friends at a house, and seeing Scratch and kind of going "...ok, I guess"
Did LB hit the ending? What'd they think?
Was it confirmed a ruse?
>>83464184
why do people hate on the doc scratch intermission? doc was funny, there was like a whole extra scene with the cool panels on top and it had a lot of cool dialogue and happenings! like the nanna/fedora freak, the doomed john convo, and the rose/dave banter
>>83464220
Oh it did. By a mile. I just wish I had known what they knew then.
does the guy who actually made the midnight crew have anything to do with the comic nowadays?
>>83464267
we never learned what rose wanted dave to tell John huh?
>>83464199
When and why did Homestuck achieve the status of being something you don't want to associate with? There's nothing in the comic that's exactly offensively bad, except for the poor ending. Is it the fans playing up the troll romance shipping?
>>83464313
The fandom is infamously bad. It's the same reason a lot of people started hiding their pony art.
>>83464296
>made aradia oc
based
>>83464228
I dunno. I didn't even like the trolls that much, but I always felt that Hivebent had some of the funniest moments in the series. That mock trail will never not be fantastic, and it singlehandedly turned around my opinion of Terezi's character.
>>83464267
I dislike it because it felt like a lazy way of condensing several important story arcs, as if Hussie just wanted to rush to Act 6. It ruined the Rose/Jack confrontation as well, and honestly the best part of the Doc Scratch bit was when Doc Scratch wasn't narrating.
>>83464313
I think a lot of people just got exhausted in the 2012-2013 range and moved on. Hussie had no momentum left by then, no frequent updates or brilliance in the work, he was just coasting on empty down a long dead road so everyone left him behind.
>>83464313
It's all about the fandom.
>>83464345
But so is the fandom for Undertale, isn't it? What about Homestuck prevents people from separating the fandom from the work?
>>83464362
I didn't dislike Hivebent, but that was when the comic stopped having that incredible feeling of wonder for me
>>83464362
Was there even a point to the whole shoosh-pap Karkat<>Gamzee thing?
>>83464399
A lot of the work WAS the fandom.
>>83464415
Yeah, this. Hivebent was actually fine on its own, awesome locations and funny moments.
But it didn't have that same nameless magic the previous Acts had.
act 5 is when the user prompts stopped innit?
>>83464166
>still remember the first time i came into an HSG thread
>update had just happened, shit was hitting the fan

>laughed like a maniac at these pathetic fools and said "boy i'm glad that i'm not so insane about my media consumption"
>five years later i'm still in hst waiting for the final update
>>83464399
The work is ridiculously hard to get into from the outside, and someone not paying enough attention will fail to understand or really appreciate quite a bit of Homestuck even if they try and read through it. Undertale has the benefit of being a fairly short game with some mainstream indie game charm, so it's easier to focus on the work itself and ignore the fandom. For most people, the fandom is all they will see of Homestuck and I have a feeling all of our dumb jokes and memes and even serious discussions about the plot are more absurd than normal for the people outside looking in.
>>83464427
At the time is served to pacify Gamzee, and to justify him not murdering all the important trolls.
In actuality not really, aside from being a plot device.
>>83464415
>>83464462
That's fair.
That said, though, I still think that Act 5 had some fantastic moments.
John ascending comes to mind immediately. Or Jack getting the final prototyping.
>>83464362
Scratch felt, like, indulgent. Without being really funny all the time like the others managed. And he stole light from Slick which was lame. He just didn't sit right.
>>83464496
Nah, that was sometime after we saw WV. It actually came back for a little bit in Act 5.
>>83464313
During Act 5 Act 2 up till about Act 6 Intermission 3 (the heyday of the comic basically) the fandom was at peak cancer mode.
Think about the combined autism of FNAF and Undertale fanbases, with the self-importance and obnoxiousness of Steven Universe's fandom.
It was like that but worse.
>>83464507
>John ascending comes to mind immediately. Or Jack getting the final prototyping.
Oh, there was Act 4 magic in Act 5, but instead of being purestrain, it was packed between walls and walls and WALLS of troll text and romantic flirting and Murderstuck and just didn't work. It was getting too big for its britches, and instead of Cascade trying to cleanly snip that up and drive us right to the end within a year, it just ballooned shit even MORE.
>>83464263
We all watched Act 7 with her.
>>83464547
I don't think I've ever been to a con where the word "BUCKET" wasn't screamed at least once.
>>83464592
As a greeting or a warning?
Who's next /hsg/?
>>83464166
Very few things have sent me into a craze like that. Undertale got close, but then I realized that Toby would never make a sequel, and that the fandom was unbelievably autistic.
It's just.... will anyone ever put that much time and effort into an update schedule that insane?
>>83464496
Actually they stopped partway through act 4
I believe it was this page:
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003449
The troll names were also user submitted, but thats about it
>>83464557
Sure, I can agree with that.
Cascade really was a mess, and I hate how Jack ended up getting handled. Throwing him to the wayside to make room for English just felt kind of wrong, especially after Cascade showed him destroying an entire universe.
>>83464547
the most fun
who here /irl con shitposter/
>>83464399
Undertale has a much better reputation than Homestuck because it was too short for a fandom as bad as Homestuck's to form and the work itself didn't get bad at the end. If the Undertale craze had gone on long enough for a massive cancerous fandom to spawn, people would be mass-deleting their Undertale shit too.
>>83464399
Undertale isn't even a year old. How big do you think it will be 6 years from now? It'll either be largely forgotten about as people move onto new things, or it'll get dragged out with sequels and go to shit.
>>83464605
Just in general.
>>83464399
MSPA in general has always been driven by the fans to a huge degree. Even after user commands ended Hussie kept using the comic to comment on the fandom's current state. As the fandom became more cancerous, Hussie did nothing to stem the tide of it's influence on his work.
This is why Act 6 has aged so poorly. If you weren't around to see the source of the references and inside jokes you just get left out of the loop.
Imaging trying to explain *PEACHY* to someone who never witnessed the headcanon race debates.
>>83464547
being a homestuck fan had its advantages
before hussie started going "all in" social justice, the homestuck fans had thicker skins than other fans, even on tumblr
though they were depraved, they were often also self-deprecating and humble
they seemed to be impervious to harassment and flame wars, unlike the "superwholocks" of the era
overall it was a very friendly and somewhat unified community
>>83464631
I thought that was going to be the point Jack went even further in his narrative role and became more realized as a character, maybe with a [I]2 featuring him dogging around and working out what was next.
Instead, well, Bec Noir pretty much died conceptually after he killed that frog. One of the coolest character bad guy concepts, and he just tossed it out.

Those poses put me in mind of the sissy goddamn pirates from Wind Waker.Which is somewhat charming, I'm sad these anims are dead now.
yes but did act 1-4 havve eri

>headcanon race debates.
Was that before or after the [strilonde] is trans fad?
>>83464557
Honestly, I could have lived with an Act 7 ending after Cascade. Just wrap it up neatly so that all the character arcs are a bit more tied up (everyone goes off to the new universe to live happily ever after, English is destroyed before he is created, thus invalidating that shitty plot arc or maybe tying it up in a MC comic, PM kills Bec Noir).
We'd end the comic on a high note, have lots of fun laughs, solid decently developed characters that progressed through their problems with all the characters having solid character moments, and no fucking retcons.
Then just show Act 7 meeting the Alpha Kids, and then maybe make a separate story to continue on from there with new plot points and themes.
>>83464664
So can we blame Trolls for changing that?
So did hussie compose the first 4 volumes of the homestuck albums?
>>83464623
Hussie had such a unique blend of skills, it'd be hard to find someone that could do the same things he did.
And even then, we'd actually need someone BETTER than Hussie, or we end up in the same mess we're in right now.
>>83464838
No. Hussie only made one music thing as far as I remember and I can't even remember what.
>>83464715
>everyone goes off to the new universe to live happily ever after
I don't think this is a good ending for homestuck, and if we are to end the story after Cascade, I think we are better off without it
Cascade is effective as an ending because their triumphant victory is them breaking free of their fucked up, hopeless session. Settling down in a new universe is counterproductive to the impression of freedom. Instead I'd like to imagine them traveling paradox space, exploring new worlds and interacting with people across the multiverse. Cascade leaves us with the impression that Jade has the power to prevent another huge fuckup, so we don't have to worry about the cycle repeating itself again.
>>83464645
Not to mention the fact that it's a short, relatively simple game means a lot of the fans actually interacted with the work directly. With Homestuck there was a surprisingly large portion of the fandom that never read more than a couple pages of the comic if even that, but rather knew the characters from fanfics and art and comics and comic dubs on youtube etc. and was essentially a fanbase of the fanbase. I wish I was joking when I say I've seen more than a couple youtube comments roleplayers actually think Homestuck was Octopimp's franchise.
>>83464713
I'm not sure because I remember both as far back as 2011, maybe earlier
>>83464872
Yeah, I mean, we got sold so fucking idiot hard on the Green Sun being eternal and ultra powerful, and now Jade was a PART GOD DOG WITCH OF SPACE, she was directly channeling the Sun and its power, making you think she has some degree of literal meta power now, or just seriously fucking potent spacetime ability.
Which never gets used, as she is quietly forced to suffer for the rest of the comic.
>>83464856
>Hussie had such a unique blend of skills, it'd be hard to find someone that could do the same things he did.
Not really. Hussie was just a talented writer and artist, he know a lot about programming but he didn't actually do any of the game sections himself, and he knew enough about animation to make things look good with minimal effort. I can think of a few creators who are more talented than he is.
What really made Homestuck as great as it was were the people that Hussie attracted to the project, mainly musicians.
>>83464968
>Hussie dropped musical motifs almost completely during Act 5.
>Rose never played the rain.
Fuck.
>>83461429
All of those trolls are overdesigned save for the girl.

The trans fad predated the race thing but they overlapped for a little while. It was particularly bad for a while.
Teenaged white girls were shouting over each other about how 'if your headcanon Dave isn't a black MTF you're racist and transphobic :)'
>>83465076
You're tearing me apart, anon!
>>83465098
Fuck yeah I would
>>83465085
Oh, you're right. They should all be in t-shirts and shorts. Genius, anon.
Once I discovered the game was a shitty, generic adventure game, I became extraordinarily glad I hadn't given any damn money to that whore Hussie. WHAT is the POINT of a Homestuck game without it including at least some Sburb gameplay!?
Karkat is shit!
Shiiiiiiiit!
>>83465116
it's comforting to know the world will always hate minorities and deviants
no sjw will ever get what they want outside of tumblr
they can have tumblr
the world is ours
>>83465184
shut the fuck up nerd
-kicks sand in face-
>>83465163
>WHAT is the POINT of a Homestuck game without it including at least some Sburb gameplay!?
It's a game inspired by the last 4 years of Homestuck, no Sburb.
>>83465174
He's okay. He didn't develop in a shit direction or anything like Terezi or Vriska or Dave or Rose did, that's all I can say for him. It would have been nice if he grew though.
>>83464968
Hussie had three qualities that made Homestuck work. Everything else was incidental.
1. Insane update schedule. This is not the only ingredient, but it is the MOST IMPORTANT ingredient to Homestuck. It was what propelled all other aspects. The speed of updates turned it into a phenomena that caught us all in the torrent. When this left the comic after Mom and Dad died, around that time, is when the comic died.
2. Color. Hussie was really great at simple, striking, bold colors and lines and using google images to integrate into his scenes. Everything had a vibrancy and game-feel to it that he nailed. This got more sloppy, lifeless, and haphazard over time.
3. As you said, he attracted talent. He also had us, the readers. Overexpanding his team, and closing reader suggestions killed the comic as well, because then it was all on him, and his ego could not handle it or the uncontrolled scope.
Hussie authored his own demise.
>>83465163
FOR J O E Y!
>>83464296
What do you mean no more /qst/ nonsense
>>83465232
It's the most bitter humor that Hussie stumbled upon a concept as awesome as Sburb, and then did EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER to avoid it, dislike it, and make sure he knew he disliked us for enjoying it.
He became so contrarian he ate his own tail.
>>83465184
It's just a fad anyway, which is inherent for that age group. Mall goths, weeaboos, emo scene kids, and now "trans uwu." It'll be dead pretty soon and replaced with something else.
>>83465239
>he didn't develop in a shit direction
>>83465163
I was really annoyed at how whenever it was brought up it was brushed off as "We wont make a full sburb game."
Like, yeah no shit. There's no way you could do that. But its perfectly reasonable to have a game with sburb elements in it. Especially when the whole fucking setting of your comic is basically a point and click already.
Its so messed up that I have to be worried about how badly they can fuck up what is essentially a paint by numbers game where you can simply copy paste most of the comics gimmicks into a game and it will be fantastic. I don't even know if fetch moduses (modi?) will be in the game or if they're too lazy to come up with fun puzzles in how its used.
>>83465251
*prostrates self to joey*
>>83465163
Isn't there going to a sylladex system in the game? I'm pretty sure it's like a universal constant in the homestuck mythology.
Has Hussie said or done anything since HS ended?
>>83463814
Cool, will use that as a reference.
>>83463902
Agreed. The "game" stuff is actually pretty neat; everything after that... not so much.
>>83465251
>Joey will never know life or her destiny
>She is a living doomed session of a game

>>83465116
Is the FTM Dave thing still big now that tumblr dislikes FTMs because it's decided that they deserve to be lumped in with all the other evil males and that MTFs are the true oppressed trans people?
>>83465281
Idk /tg/'s Le Board Culture feels a lot better than that of the board it spawned. I can understand why QMs remain there. I like having tegaki and a higher bump limit though.
>>83465330
It's actually the other way around in my experience. radfems throw ftms in with themselves and hate mtfs.
everyone hates mtfs.and honestly it's pretty justifiable as an mtf
>>83465312
>I'm pretty sure it's like a universal constant in the homestuck mythology.
It is. But I don't trust them to not fuck it up like they have every HS related project for the past few years.
>>83465314
he's certainly doing things
>>83465184
>the world is ours
Not yours, common pleb. The fuck are you saying, "the world is ours". You probably don't even own a business, and you're saying the world is yours. You do know the real movers and shakers of the world don't want to be associated with you and I? You're pretty much expendable in all senses of the word dude.
>>83465312
could you actually imagine playing an adventure game explicitly built around john's initial modus? That would be the most tedious hell ever.
I wonder if hiveswap will be big with the Lp crowd like UT was.
>>83465330
No because HS is no longer a thing and no one cares.
>>83465377
Tumblr hates radfems though
They're all third wave liberal feminists/identity politics advocates
>>83465398
god this makes me so sad
>>83465417
Let him have his power fantasies of meaning any more to society than tumblr trash does. He has nothing and is nothing.

This is the appearance of a man who is completely hollow.
For real he needs to stop hanging out with idpd
>>83465419

Are adventure games big with LPs? Other than maybe Walking Dead?

>John had a gigantic pipe organ that controls the breeze

>Jade never played a hauntingly ressurecting bassline on a tree-like axe with vines for strings that would imbue the land with a pumping rhythm for life and growth like she did at home before the game had even started
>>83465398

if I write hussie some great illicit shota watching fic can I dress him up too?

If he actually did anything with his life at this point it would interfere with his cool and hilarious self-aware irony.
>>83465485
I don't recall broken age getting any coverage at all, just lukewarm to negative reviews.
Makes me really confident when Rj says the games will be similar.
>>83465486
Get that normie shit away from Pepe.
>>83465239
It just occurred to me why Aradia's story is so likable. She didn't just change once - like have a character development turning point and just be changed for the rest of the story. She starts as an emotionless ghost who can't care about life or really anything anymore, then becomes a robot (well a frog too briefly) but a super-angry one who still doesn't care about life, then when she is miraculously given life again and makes a conscious decision to treasure the fuck out of it. It's almost like a three-stage development progression can resemble anactual fucking ARC, which is not supposed to be a meaningless term but instead figuratively refers to a real shape.
>>83465503
Doesn't excuse that unironic garbage
>>83465492
There are radfems on tumblr, but the archetypal SJW hates what they call "TERFs" (radfems who don't like mtfs)

I'm worried about Hussie's mental state.
>>83465581
He is rapidly approaching his age of expiration after spending 7 years doing absolutely nothing worthwhile, and his game project is stillborn, while everyone he knew moves on to do better than him
He's fucking *doomed*
