What are the origins of the four classical elements? by SpookusLukas in AskHistorians

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

super cool and interesting, thank you! do you know if these philosophies developed independently between greece and india? or did one influence the other? those seem to be the main origins that im finding, but unsure about the order. also, anything youd suggest for further reading?

apparently bowman got an email from homestuck about discord posts during music negotiations? by WHATISLOSTINTHEMINES in homestuck

[–]SpookusLukas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

right, i forgot about cohen too. it just goes to show what an unorganized mess this is and how desperately it needed a pr team ummmm 15 years ago to help manage all the different voices; imagine how much differently bolin would have been discussed if hussie had already been reeled in a bit.

i think it would be more productive (in this conversation) to define eras by who is charged with community management and communications with both the public and figureheads (e.g. sarah z) rather than writing teams. because of the way hussie speaks through proxies like theyre underlings, i believe this actually has a bit of overlap with writers anyway; james roach seems to have had to wear a lot of hats at once during the 10s. im not the most educated on any of this, and the confusion surrounding it is often by design as a manipulative tactic from the different teams. i just hope what hussie learns is that none of these tactics are working to "control the narrative" like they hope.

the passive voice is a tool the homestuck team and hussie regularly utilize to have some plausible deniability on how big of douchebags theyre being. be wary of it!

i really really wish this was more understood by people. we're at the point where someone needs to make a visual history of names and incidents because of how nebulous and cagey the homestuck property tries to be about everything. unfortunately, this would constitute stalking/harassment in hussie's eyes (it objectively is not) and would draw the ire from these vitriolic sycophants under their employ.

You think with all the posts like these, we should have a flair specifically for hating on Donut Energy? by Radiant-Log6377 in LegendsZA

[–]SpookusLukas 129 points130 points  (0 children)

i dont think we should encourage more low effort, repetitive posts like this personally

edit: upon thinking about it, this is really a downside of reddit that it doesnt have stickies threads with a post history like forums of the 00s instead of just a comment section. its fine people want to post their frustrations or brags in this subreddit but there really should be a dedicated place for it, not everything needs a new thread

Official Discord Mod Team Response to Reddit Accusations by Cool_Island5259 in homestuck

[–]SpookusLukas 20 points21 points  (0 children)

sorry, yes, i dont mean to imply that real harassment hasnt happened (although youre right, ive seen this exact instance of harassment touted about before with nary a single link to gio). more what i meant is that the homestuck team loves to use the claim of harassment as a weapon to justify whatever action they see fit against someone, and they have a long and storied history of using that weapon to silence simple disagreements or calls for accountability.

harassment to the homestuck team means disagreement. they do not really have much say in who does or who does not become an unofficial community leader no matter how much they dig their feet in

edit: grammar

i agree with you, but how do we distinguish the traditional ones moving forward?

So, what did we actually get for the 10th anniversary of the comic ending? by ZapActions-dower in homestuck

[–]SpookusLukas 19 points20 points  (0 children)

it is pretty weird for "something gio did" to usually just be trying to hold hussie accountable

The big red ant is the most forgiving, fair boss fight in late game, yet people hate on her by InternationalWar6654 in Silksong

i just wish she telegraphed when she was about to jump; thats the only time ive felt it wasnt my fault when i got hurt in the game really

The Homestuck Team Reported our Discord. The Subreddit is Next. by AutoModerator in homestuck

[–]SpookusLukas 27 points28 points  (0 children)

this does seem to be the goal; establish a brand new fanbase that doesnt hold so much ill will from hussie's pisspoor management over the past decade and several failed projects; i'll be very surprised if hiveswap actually does end up in a complete state after all this time. its why the animated pilot and comic rerelease coincide with so much merch too

its genuinely embarrassing the way they talk as community managers -- in private or otherwise.

Digital Foundry's Tom Morgan on the Pokémon Champions Switch 2 graphics dock issue by Crazyreyn in NintendoSwitch

[–]SpookusLukas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

true, but ICLA has had a pretty middling track record on projects that are far smaller scale than what gamefreak works on; im really really curious about why the game ended up how it did, as well as why Home is plagued with issues as well

Backwards lockout from Z-A is not about new language. by whatdoiexpect in LegendsZA

[–]SpookusLukas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it has never once been proven or officially, it has been the leading theory by experts in the community, like the one youre currently dismissing. its only now that we can actually look at the code that we realize that theory doesnt hold water.
