i think it seems really impressive. the fandom seems like well like a fandom

The start of Homestuck is really boring. Going to attempt to persevere but... really, this has a dedicated fandom?

i was totally with it as soon as the improperly-coded inventory gag got going
― thomp, Sunday, 9 September 2012 14:44 (eleven years ago) link
there's no actual gameplay in homestuck, right?
― Mordy, Sunday, 9 September 2012 14:47 (eleven years ago) link
as of a couple hours in there has been a section where i have been able to walk around the locations and examine things, but it was skippable and nothing i did could impact the plot
― thomp, Sunday, 9 September 2012 14:51 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, it's not a game. The inventory-coding thing was an okay gag, but nothing mind-blowing. I'm just wondering how/where/why it changes into this cosplay-enabling fandom-instigating fantasia.

This is pretty well done but I've now made it to Recap 2 and1. it has taken really unjustifiable amounts of my weekend, wtf am I doing2. if a recap of material I already read makes me go "oh, is that what happened / who that is / uh I don't remember that at all" nearly every other sentence it's probably a bad sign (and part of the recap is marked "previously unseen")3. despite 1 I'm only halfway through by # of pages and beginning to realise that it may not actually be finished yet, which is not a bad thing in itself but is going to piss me off if I spend more days wading all the way through hoping for a grand resolution
having said that there are some neat ideas in here, I like the art style, and I am curious to see what happens
(I am probably too old and earnest to be the target audience anyway - the target audience would never type something so longwinded, sincere and point-missing - but in other ways I am totally the target audience: weird RPG/adventure game mechanics, mutant time-cats, inscrutable computer systems? yes please)

on the kickstarter for the adventure game he wants to write he says he'll finish homestuck in 2013

homestuck is quenching my ever present desire to be 'with it' and 'hip with the times'

thanks for the warning thomp! also, eh, maybe I shall throw some money at this guy's kickstarter, bcz I love adventure games and I won't even care if it's any good or not as long as it has cats in

true story, Andrew Hussie hooked up with a girl at my college that some of my friends were friends with and I think this made them all mad at her. Maybe she broke Andrew Hussie's heart?
On the other hand maybe Andrew Hussie shouldn't be dating undergrads? idk

i just really don't understand why people want or like or need to identify as 'members of a fandom'
― thomp, Monday, 10 September 2012 02:12 (eleven years ago) link
i might possibly be a homestuck 'fan' but 'a member of the homestuck fandom', i don't know
there's a girl on youtube who writes and performs a song about homestuck accompanying herself on the ukulele
but i mean, it's not that girl, it's the 1,700 people who clicked the 'like' button and not the 'schedule an intervention' button

this guy must have some celebrity from before homestuck, right? bc i mean, it's nice but is anyone really passionate about the dozens and dozens of clown jokes? maybe there's a big crossover fandom w/ juggalos.

MS Paint Adventures hit the big time when he was doing Problem Sleuth, the predecessor to Homestuck. The first MSPA was a Something Awful thread.

no lols except possibly at the dubious cosplay pic (and there's a whole tumblr where that came from), but this is where the previous Homestuck talk was, and apparently there was a piece on it in the New York Observer:http://betabeat.com/2012/10/tumblr-andrew-hussie-homestuck-kickstarter-game-adventure-text-teens-young-adult/

i wish i liked homestuck more but it's pretty tedious idk i got bored

I read on a fair way after the previous conversation. I liked the 'Mayor of Can Town' bit, but a lot of it I just didn't find interesting enough...
― emil.y, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 20:30 (eleven years ago) link
I have now read the whole thing to date, despite going "is there really going to be a whole act abt these characters? lame" during 3 different acts, and despite being fairly sure I'll be thinking that again
wish I could show this determination wrt some of the various self-improvements which have sat undone on my to-do list for years
should probably have put this on the kickstarter thread so as not to derail the lolz thread again
