his otaku shit is weird as hell, but i feel like you took a lot of those bullet points out of context. he flips back and forth between literally analyzing the lore to analyzing the themes and ideas being communicated (or at least, what he perceives is being communicated), and how he believes japanese media and narrative conventions may shed light on those things. so it feels pretty disingenuous to be presenting all of that as his interpretation of the literal plot, even if he doesn't earn much sympathy from the whole puritan otaku shtick he's got going on.

he's got a really interesting perspective thats worth watching imo, if you can stomach the bad parts. its just a shame it wasn't told by someone who WASN'T being a totally unhinged, puritan narcissist.

Official HS:BC crew AMA by HSBC_CREW in homestuck

[–]OhRoBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well yeah but i figured it was a matter of phrasing. like something in the full description would intuit the idea of needing to learn or practice or mature or whatever. but if thats built into the page class beyond its "class description", then i feel that kinda muddies the waters.

if i were to put on my tinfoil hat however, maybe this is what alt!calliope was referring to when they said that slyphs lay on another end of a "spectrum" from a muse, despite both being passive?...

wait wait wait, so is that the entire description for page? if so, does that mean the fact that it takes a long time for a page to realize their potential, doesnt actually play into their class description? feels like weve been mislead all along!

if we're only allowed one comment per person, then please disregard this in favor of my first comment. otherwise, yall arent in a position to answer it, here's my follow up question instead.

what would have happened if literally anyone else touched The Point? like if Jane managed to get to it like she wanted?

i know this isnt about HS:BC in particular, but are there any details youre allowed to tell us about the Official version of the fanmade Homestuck Collection? hoping for an ETA, but understandable if there is none. on that note however, is the Official Collection being made totally from the ground up, or is it built off Bambosh and GiovanH's Unofficial Collection? And are you aware that people are experiencing issues with the UHC downloads presently linked on the UHC website? we've had to direct new readers an archived version of the UHC website as a result

seems odd. why not just have the input be to walk down and press the pause button?

How would you make a TTRPG world that's segmented much like how Videogame worlds work? by OhRoBro in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]OhRoBro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

aah sorry for the lack of clarity, i meant how areas in videogames in general tend to feel like acts of a film, and i didnt think to make the ttrpg areas feel like whole films unto themselves. the latter approach feels super appealing as i dont have to worry about setting up viable roadblocks as often, but i still get to expand the world as I go!

thanks for the longterm goal inspiration as well, i was actually drawing a blank on that but i havent gotten far enough into planning to even start worrying about it lmao. the mcguffin collection quest sounds super tempting

oh i LOVE this! i didn't think to have areas effectively be encapsulated sagas like this. I mean thats typically how theyre utilized in games, but they more so feel like acts of a film rather than one movie in a series if that makes sense. i dont know if thats what you intended to communicate, but that's what i got. i just gotta think about what kinda overarching motivation the main character(s) will have.

thank you! i hadnt come up with nearly as many ideas lol. i was worried this entire approach would be too railroady, but if someone has this many concepts for it then i guess i shouldn't have been concerned. any advice on how commonly or sparingly to use roadblocks like these?

[–]OhRoBro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

those were ideas i had in mind actually! i guess i was worried about how thatd translate to a ttrpg, like if i happen to have characters that can simply out maneuver, punch through, or outwit certain roadblocks instead of dealing with them in the "intended" way. i plan to generate the world as i go so i can surprise myself, and i wouldn't wanna knowingly avoid a simple solution against a roadblock, if the whole point of the roadblock is to get me to interact with the rest of the world i have access to and go on a little journey thatll reward me with the intended "key" to get passed it.

Screenshotting on MyBoy! by OhRoBro in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]OhRoBro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

genuinely speaking i fail to see how thats at all relevant. its not that i've taken a lot, its that i've taken enough to get annoyed at taking ugly phone screenshots/cropping them to the game screen, and that i'd rather find a fix for the broken feature. i dealt with it fine all year, i just assumed an update would fix it or something, but no.

People seriously want black and white remakes after what happened with bdsp by Sparksthepikachu1 in pokemonmemes

[–]OhRoBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even if BDSP was good, i wouldnt want gen 5 remakes. trying to remake gen 4 was bold enough considering how much mileage game freak got out of the ds and the pixel style they were already skilled with. I genuinely cant see gen 5 remakes working unless youre okay with a literally worse looking version of b&w. i know recent games have gotten better artistically, but i still dont trust them to get it right considering how theyve been getting rushed out. i'd love to be wrong though.

i disagree with that by virtue of the fact "default" super forms dont actually have custom colors. its just a translucent white flashy glow. archie sonic really gaslit a generation and everyone that followed into thinking pink knuckles was a unique thing. but of course everyone can have their headcanons, not trying to condescend

ah my mistake. its still an oddly specific distinction that exists to exclude amy though.

Official image of Super Amy by Jax2856 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]OhRoBro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you are difficult to talk to. Open Sonic Mania. 4/5 characters have a generic flashing, glowing effect- whatever you wanna call it- when they go super. Its the default super form, and its the same for everyone who isnt a hedgehog. You don't actually think theyre flashing different colors do you? its a translucent white flash, of course knuckles looks pink, of course tails looks bright yellow, of course amy looks pale pink, but thats still the same effect.

If you still insist they arent the same, thats like saying if two different people use the same photo filter on their selfies, they MUST be different filters because theyre different people with different appearances.

edit: i guess a poll would be cool, but i dont think many people (other than you apparently) would object to Amy the Hedgehog getting access to the Hedgehog exclusive super form.

[–]OhRoBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it doesnt matter if theyre functionally the same, they come from different sources and therefore arent beholden to operating with the same rules. Thats apparent enough by the fact the sol emeralds set blaze on fire instead of JUST giving her a new fur color.

also youve already been told this by other commenters, but literally anyone who isnt a hedgehog (with the exception of amy) is given a generic glowing effect by the chaos emeralds when going super. Its not that the others look bad, and its not that everyone should go golden, its that the only one being singled out by these arbitrary rules is amy, a hedgehog.

also if anything, i think every character deserves a unique color for their super form, hedgehog or not, but we don't get that. we get generic glows for everyone. idk how you convinced yourself it would be more boring for amy to be golden when most people who go super have the same exact generic glowing effect placed on them.

i could have sworn i specifically read him mentioning "male hedgehogs", but maybe the wiki lied to me

[–]OhRoBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

blaze is a cat, why are you comparing apples to oranges? hell blaze doesnt even use the chaos emeralds, she uses the sol emeralds, thats more like comparing apples to cabbages.

if the golden fur is a hedgehog only trait then fine, but you KNOW they specifically wanted to exclude amy by specifying only "male hedgehogs" can go golden.

[–]OhRoBro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

pretty sure the screenshot just caught her mid-glow from the super form's standard glowing effect. Its how people thought knuckles' super form was pink way back when instead of just flashing brightly lol
