Welcome to the

No seriously, how is this the first discussion thread about the comic. I blame the lot of you for getting me hooked. You know who you are.

Crackpot theory #1: The scratch turns out to be the emergence of the13th troll, based on Ophiuchus. :derp:

Ah, Homestuck was the first thing that I have read from MSPA. And I agree, the first act was pretty slow. Hivebent, HNNNNGH <3

Is Problem Sleuth a quick read? I might pick it up in my spare time...

It's around 2k pages, a full year long. Still totally worth reading. In many ways it's even wackier than Homestuck, and it has nearby weasels.

I've never been able to get into Homestuck much because most of the first act was such a fucking drag to go through and I don't really like skipping pages. The story gets much better with the inclusion of the other kids but it's still boring as shit urgh

I had the same problem when it came to Problem Sleuth. I didn't much care about the main guy or how he got out of his room, and there wasn't any awesome music, gifs, or flash to keep me captivated.

Also, OP edited for importance.

Ehhh I'm still following it but I feel like it's lost some of it's charm, mainly because the ratio of action to dialogue has shifted dramatically.

I think Hivebent in particular just dragged on and on, there should've been less trolls, especially since Karkat, Terezi, and Kanaya were the only ones relevant before it.

I think Jade's penpal/grandson is the Ophiuchus troll. :V

My friends are really into Homestuck, so I'm trying to catch up with them.

I thought Hivebent might have been a little too long to me too just because I was curious what was going on with the four kids, and there was a long stretch you went without hearing anything about them. But that was offbalanced somewhat by the fact that I read the entire comic only about a couple weeks ago, so I didn't have to wait around for updates ever and the whole thing read like a novel. That might have had something to do with it.

I think the really great thing about Problem Sleuth is that its depiction of the moon-logic puzzles of 90's adventure-games is 100% spot on. And then it applies the same moon-logic to the entire setting.

Really, I like Homestuck. I don't mind the text; the Pesterchum logs were always Homestuck's defining quirk. And yeah, it's not exactly the same as it was before, but sticking to one ... thing was never the point.

I'm kinda annoyed I listened to the Vol. 6 soundtrack so much. I wonder if part of the impact of the flash was lost because I already knew the song. :<

I'm kind of glad that Aradia came back, I sort of felt bad when she exploded.
She....grew on me. :3

Also, you know that "Internet University" thing? They were making a MSPA version of that. They decided that Hella Jeff (who warned you about stairs, bro) should teach architecture.

Also also, my moment of awesome for today: On my MUD, we have a bunch of people playing as some of the Homestuck characters. I created a Lil Cal object, which invisibly teleports throughout the various rooms of the Troll Sanctuary (i.e. you don't see him come or go, you only see him once he's there). When you type 'look Lil Cal', you get a great big picture of his face in Ascii Art. >:]

It's little things like this that I enjoy so much in Homestuck. :V

Wouldn't be surprised if Frogs were needed in some fashion, especially considering how illegal they are.
