I think they were legally able to divulge this to kickstarter backers because they were part of the project's funding, but it's possible they couldn't have made this public on their own. They can't even namedrop the companies they're talking about, even though everyone knows who they are, and they k...

Other than the rape, which can definitely go, I think a lot of HS2's concepts are perfectly salvageable. Most of the comic's problems for me were in presentation. It was full of this not-so-funny narration, a ton of kind of incomprehensible dialogue and character interactions, and a tone that felt c...

I dunno, I think if Hiveswap was going to die it was going to have happened during act 2's development. The fact that it actually came out tells me there's not much reason to assume another one couldn't. I wouldn't say there's clear evidence that anything going on internally now is worse than then o...

Well, we've got a release date (February 3), screenshots, a name and a Steam page, it's called Psycholonials. Apparently it's developed by "The Silence Mill", and will be another multi-volume project like the Homestuck visual novels. It also has support for 9 languages, making it the first multiling...

Not very original, but I think Richard Horvitz would make a good Karkat. The Invader Zim comparisons are obvious, but ironically I think the more deadpan and dry tone of his performance as Raz from Psychonauts would sound better reading some of those diatribes. Zim is good for screaming specific wor...

In one of the book commentaries, Hussie explains that Jake has more than one forgotten separate family at various points around the world. The virility of his sperm would destroy the rest of the characters in the series even if the ones on-screen didn't count.

...Why?

I think people overrate the difference in pacing between acts 5 and 6. Act 5 is always on its feet with so many things trying to kill the cast, but it constantly jumps between so many viewpoints, and never really opens and shuts any specific books. It becomes kind of hard to form a consistent thread...

Uh, no, this bit of discourse literally started with people theorizing that the writers are just lying about what stuff is and isn't Hussie's ideas, which is exactly like the weird conspiracy shit I mentioned. Also, I literally said IN THE PASSAGE YOU QUOTED that I'm not a fan of this stuff. Why wou...

We're allowed to think the writing decisions made were bad. I don't see why it always has to be bigger than that. I've only been in this fandom about a year and a half but I constantly see this frenetic addiction to attribute intent or meaning to the writers' decisions beyond them wanting that to be...
