I'm getting bored of checking in only to see an angry tentacle horse.
What happened to Homestuck? It hasn't updated for two full months now, the stated update frequency is twice a month
Hussie got bored and finally sold it off to the tumblr crowd
>unironically subjecting yourself to ^2
I haven't read/watched/played any official content in years, I just come to these threads to watch the trainwreck it became
A lot of the team already fell apart, Hussie supposedly left, and they lost their only artist I think.
^2 is way better than Act 6
so hiveswap act 2 is essentially vaporware now, right? the coronavirus excuse seems like a cop out.
also it's amazing how terribly they bungled the community of homestuck. I'd wager it's "fan presence" has decreased by nearly half. nobody cares about it anymore which is kind of sad
>boring ghostwritten relationship drama schlock and meta wank that went on for too long
vs
>""subversive"" "'"political"" """I'ts bad on purpose""" relationship drama schlock and meta wank
hell of a choice
They lost
>their lead writer
>their lead artist
>and Hussie, who was revealed to be an absolute megalomaniac publicly
>it's "fan presence" has decreased
>tfw will never have gray body paint smeared all over my dick from fucking a home stuck fan girl at a con again
>decreased by nearly half
I reckon it's more like 90%. Homestuck was HUGE back in the day, now no one talks about it.
>ghostwritten
How much of Act 6 was by Hussie? Because this would explain a few things.
People leaving the team.
Also extended hiatus.
I hope it tanks and isnt brought back, the only thing of value to me that would lost is these threads.
Ive accepted hiveswaps death as a sad loss, I sincerley hopes that hs^2 dies with it.
Good, how fucking long can you discuss a shitty microsoft paint comic like it's high art
no it isn't Kate.
You could probably compromise by finding a Rose or Roxy cosplayer and get her to put on some black lipstick before going down.
literally every single "animated" page in hs2 so far has been 2 frames. when they said they weren't planning any interactive pages I was very doubtful that it would ever come close to recapturing the zest of the original. something as simple as that pogo game and a walk around flash gave homestuck so much charm and character. what would homestuck be if there was no act 4 flash and you didn't hear george buzinkai's "doctor" in the background? the leitmotif's and music of homestuck was part of the comic damn it. just a solitary hs2 album with no incorporation into the comic doesn't cut the mustard
Homestuck hasn't updated since 2016 my man.
The epilogue was only made in April 2019, and Homestuck^2 started in late 2019.
user, the modern writers don't understand why people liked Homestuck. To them, it's all about being progressive as possible.
Literally all they needed for hiveswap 2 was to release it earlier; it would've gotten enough sales to fund a second installment if they'd been able to release it before the tail end of 20 fucking 17 after the property had already become irrelevant.
>no flashes
>no caliborn
>dogdick and cuck memes everywhere
This, like holy fucking shit. Why can't you sad palookas move on? Find something better, god knows there's piles of webcomics ongoing and yet totally neglected out there.
^2 isn't Homestuck, it's a garbage trash heap from people who are reaping the fruits of their poor life choices
It is foul like a dumpster near a melted-down reactor is foul.
Lie
No, not at all, not even close, you're lying, why are you lying, fuck you, fuck off
And drama, like there is no adventure at all, is a completelly different kind of story now.
It's shitty drama too.
it's like five minutes out of my day every two weeks to go, haha, this sucks, and then i move on because i don't have emotional issues
You clearly suffer from sunk cost syndrome tho.
>what would homestuck be if there was no act 4 flash and you didn't hear george buzinkai's "doctor" in the background?
I want you to know something user, and I dont care who hears it. I die a little bit inside everytime I go back and think about 10 fucking years ago when I first discovered homestuck! The act 4 flash was my first introduction to the comic. I had no idea what HS was and I thought the whole comic was a game at the point! What a magical time to be alive it was back then, and I'll always treasure those moments I had about honestuck.
Fuck the fandom and what it's become! Fuck tumblr! And yet, I can't ever truly leave this place.
we're cursed to remain here forever. it's an abstract form of torment.
also, that may have been a typo, but "honestuck" is kind of a neat way of putting it. it felt more "honest" or sincere, even if the comic lampooned 2000's culture a bit
We were murdered in these halls, and we haunt them indefinitely because we cannot move on without closure regarding our deaths. At no point is the Homestuck we loved given a conclusion. The characters we followed decayed into hollow caricatures of who they once were, so the ones dear to us do not have endings. We're trapped here until Hussie decides to redo Act 6, and that obviously isn't going to happen.
Hussie'll probably die before he admits that he's fucked up. We're seeing that now where he pretends like everything he does is intentional and tries to twist it to his favor.
>>and Hussie, who was revealed to be an absolute megalomaniac publicly
Huh?
Doctor will definitely always have a special place in my heart but it wasn't until I read through it and hit Descend that I was sold on it all. Fuck I love that flash.
There's one big, good point made in this thread - ^2 is missing so much that I liked about homestuck
I would be very curious to see his commentary for all the awful fucking shit he did to this comic. He's going to eventually have to stare killing off Spades Slick and letting Jack Noir get off scottie-free in the face and say something about it.
Wow it's like /hsg/ is writing it
>shit writing
>misunderstanding characters
>shitty memes over actual jokes
I still listen to that shitty overly-compressed song now and then
>www paradoxspace.com
>this site can't be reached
yeah, it's dead
He's already pretending like he planned shit in act 6 like davekat in the current commentaries.
Shit, Mr. Seven was the only good thing made for Homestuck since 2012. Did anyone save it?
Fuck off retard I hope you and your whole family die of kung flu so humanity is spared your gene pool
Ovipositive was more in character and better written than any of HS^2 was.
If I start something I need to finish it
What a spineless weasel he is.
Daily reminder that "it's supposed to be like bad fanfiction" is not an excuse to be literally bad.
is it over compressed? i thought it was made on a cave story soundfont program and that's why it sounds like that
everyone LOVED dogdick and futa in general before it was canon. to suggest otherwise is shameless revisionist history.
It really wasn't but the point is it's like/ hsg/ is writing homestuck now
No they didn't, fuck off furfag.
Right and everyone shipped korrasami and everyone used to love tom king. Fuck off
>everyone
Fuck off. It was shit then and it's shit now. You actual faggots who pushed that shit on everyone and enabled trash like ipgd are the reason we're in the mess. Quite literally because ipgd was the one who made the dogdick shit come true.
So fuck you.
recently there was drama between Hussie's team and the moderators of Homestuck's reddit (because Hussie's team is so incompetent they get into fights with random fans).
Hussie demanded that the reddit team replace all their moderators with WP employees because the current team wasn't diverse enough for him.
I don't know enough about music to answer that, but I'd kill a man for a cleaner-sounding version of it - at least the big ending part
This. And fuck all of you who helped crowdfund the horse dildo she sent to Hussie, because that's the only reason they ever became friends. Literally your fucking fault if you did that.
kill yourselves
Just look at all the old /hag/ threads retard newfag redditors
This.
