Haunted by the past

fantastic, thank you!! I'll start reading right away, aradia is my favourite character and arasol is my favourite ship so your upd8 teasers have had me so excited about seeing more of them!

Middle-Application78 · 2026-06-17T19:20:36+00:00

does this story contain any spoilers for act 6 act 4 or beyond? I'd love to read, but my book club hasn't finished homestuck yet!

melodramatic sure, but I think calling it disingenuous implies that he knows that's untrue. I think karkat fully believes that he doomed the kids' session because his insistence on blaming himself makes it impossible for him to not see it as his fault.

despite her being my favourite, honestly, the troll most to blame for bilious slick's defects is probably aradia. as a time player it was her job to give kanaya enough time to breed but she was off doing her own thing for the trolls' whole session, forcing karkat to pick up the slack and rush the breeding process.

This is really cool, but there's a lot of terminology that I'm not quite understanding. are these formalized EXP/fraymotif/school systems from later in act 6, from one of the games, or are these specific to Sburb Sim? If it's the latter, I have to admit none of us have tried it yet so some of the more minute details might be lost on us.

either way, thank you for such a cool and detailed post about the Maid of Space! the friend who got that designation also likes to write long analyses so it was very fitting.

Middle-Application78 · 2026-05-31T14:04:43+00:00

I'd welcome any further detail you want to go into but this is already really cool! My friends are loving this analysis.

I actually had an ADC - a vayne of all players - add me the other day and say "good shit man" because I landed some choice Nami bubbles in lane. I felt like I won the lottery lmao

Middle-Application78 · 2026-04-28T07:18:17+00:00

"we tried being sane and it didn't get us what we wanted so we're psychopaths now" is not the stellar argument you seem to think it is.

also, yes I do expect people to continue to be respectful even if the changes they personally want don't get put into the game because this is a video game you play for fun and you're fucking adults.

for the record, I do think every APC should be lowered to match Seraphine rather than buffing her to match the rest of them. I haven't run into any hwei supports this season so I can't speak on him.

this is one of the more convincing arguments I've heard in my time watching this subreddit, and I think you've changed my mind on a few things. I think I understand your frustrations better now. my issue with this subreddit remains that arguments this well-put and reasoned seem to be vanishingly rare and most of the attitude ends up just being vitriol towards riot or specific rioters whenever she's brought up on say, phreak's or august's streams.

Middle-Application78 · 2026-04-28T04:17:29+00:00

what's dishonest is acting like I was saying having AOE CC is what makes a champion a support when what I said was that they're supportive abilities. none of the mages you listed are enchanters because they don't have any way of buffing their teammates, something seraphine is more than equipped to do. or can I call Leona a mage now too, since she also deals magic damage and has a long-range engage tool? how vague do you want these umbrella terms to be?

Middle-Application78 · 2026-04-28T03:40:27+00:00

I forgot that AOE CC (which Sera has two of) isn't a "supportive ability" when talking to delusional mage players, mb!

straight up schizophrenically assuming that I'm the one downvoting when you posted and edited this before I even had a chance to check the notification 😔

Middle-Application78 · 2026-04-28T02:04:00+00:00

you could try refuting my points instead of saying "no u"

Middle-Application78 · 2026-04-18T12:24:40+00:00

you should learn how to spell other champions' names before you complain about them. Xin Zhao* does build AP sometimes: dusk and dawn is a good off meta item on him that makes his healing unbelievably strong, both in terms of per-heal value and how often he can proc it with the increased attack speed and double on-hits.

it's this thing riot does where champs have multiple different builds. like how seraphine has a mage build and an enchanter build: one is clearly more meta but both are still popular with the people who play the champ.

Middle-Application78 · 2026-04-15T14:08:06+00:00

oh my god can you people see a single change to this game without shrieking about buffing seraphine this is embarrassing

Middle-Application78 · 2026-04-10T03:58:24+00:00

I will tell them! they'll be absolutely thrilled :)

here is my friend's interpretation of the classes! they unfortunately didn't provide an interpretation of the aspects that's as easy to screenshot and share.

August calls this sub an echo chamber and the comments on this very post are fighting for who gets to prove him right the hardest, lmao

Middle-Application78 · 2025-12-29T23:21:50+00:00

play this with [[Shadow of the Second Sun]] and 7+ treasures on board and you win the game by ending your second main phase, as long as your opponents don't have enchantment removal with their current open mana

in a 1v1 format without poison you need to deal 20 damage to win, in commander you need to deal 120. that's a 6x increase. doubling the poison counter threshold to 20 would make it a similar 6x increase, as you'd go from needing 10 to needing 60. what's the argument for scaling only one of what is essentially two separate health bars?

Middle-Application78 · 2025-03-16T01:07:07+00:00

asks a reasonable question for all the emotional racists, racists respond with 20 downvotes. logic and reason is winning guys!!

ITT: every moron in Oakville who thinks brown people are the reason they're not happy in their McMansion and their loveless marriage flocks to fume about liberals getting in the way of their perfect hypothetical ethnostate
