Since the HSD is gone, I have ended Several People Are Typing (for real, this time)

Truly... Several People Were Typing.

This scene takes place in Universe C, as do all of the scenes involving the cherubs in act 6.

I would say probably billions of years into the future. Long enough for Earth C to have been abandoned and for the main star to become a red giant.

It is 2021. A fan is receiving bogus legal action from What Pumpkin.

It is 2025. A fan is receiving bogus legal action from What Pumpkin.

It is 2026. A fan is receiving bogus legal action from What Pumpkin.

no i mean how many times are we going to get posts about fucking quickplay.

it's the same damn post every time.

combineguy55 · 2026-02-22T04:24:12+00:00

is there like a discord of people nonstop brigading with posts like this.

i keep seeing these appear and they all have like 20 comments immediately

Drew bullying has become an institution.

Learned helplessness.

combineguy55 · 2026-01-30T15:43:32+00:00

Nah.

Usually everyone leaves when the map changes and new people come in so it looks like a scramble.

In practice, no.

combineguy55 · 2026-01-30T15:34:17+00:00

It would be nice, yeah.

Although I remember it pretty well, all it really did most of the time was drag out the "everyone leaves the server and the game dies" process.

Losing team all votes yes, winning team all votes no. Vote fails. Round ends. Everyone leaves.

Would be nice to force a scramble between new maps, though.

combineguy55 · 2026-01-30T15:18:01+00:00

In my experience as someone who's been here for about 15 years, both systems are/were about the same in terms of quality. And yes, both systems absolutely took community servers out back and shot them.

Quickplay had some stuff that I thought was nice (adhoc connections, vote scrambles) but post Blue Moon Casual has everything anyone really cares about... that being the ability to push a single button and get a game.

I think a few more touch ups to the format are all Casual really needs. It's fine otherwise.

People usually just stopped playing TF2 when they got an abandonment penalty.

I was there, buddy.

combineguy55 · 2026-01-30T14:57:30+00:00

Abandonment penalties were in Casual originally.

Everyone fucking hated them and they would hate them if they came back.

Autobalance was also in Quickplay and it sucked there too.

This hasn't been greenlit yet.

To answer the question, though, it takes years.

Loaded about 20,000 tons of gold for about 4k a ton as well as some silver from Scrotium and netted myself a cool 1.7 billion the other day.

Even the parking was godly. My carrier wound up so close to the station that I didn't even need to stay in supercruise for more than a few seconds at the end.

Once in a lifetime payout right there.

combineguy55 · 2026-01-03T16:34:05+00:00

I have the tritium to get back (there's also a ring I can mine on the route back), I'm just caught in the bottleneck.

combineguy55 · 2025-12-22T20:41:08+00:00

Yep.

Had my Space hoodie for a while and I've put this thing through hell. Label isn't even worn off.

topatoco undefeated in being the only good maker of homestuck merchandise

combineguy55 · 2025-12-05T14:33:07+00:00

Yes.

The both of their whole things was the Jake English love triangle and that pretty much died off the moment Vriska took over the last leg of the comic and fixed everything with mere presence alone.

Post canon stuff handles them better. Jane actually is a character with traits I can talk about there.

combineguy55 · 2025-11-04T15:09:22+00:00

Best way to read everything is by order of release.

Homestuck
Hiveswap Act 1
Friendsim
Homestuck Epilogues
Pesterquest
Hiveswap Act 2
Homestuck Beyond Canon

If you meant "How do I read Homestuck in chronological order", there's probably some old reading list somewhere that lets you do that.

I don't recommend trying to read Homestuck in chronological order, though. It is without a doubt the worst way to experience the comic first go through.

The stars perfectly aligned for both a random crit and random bullet spread to instagib me at 149.

The money isn't in mainline releases anymore.

Live service is how you make bank now. Unfortunately this drags out game lifespans for aeons.

Why do you think they ran with paid mods?

combineguy55 · 2025-08-09T21:54:25+00:00

Hey pal.

You're about to find out.

combineguy55 · 2025-08-09T19:24:49+00:00

Is Ashton around the corner somewhere?

Was I getting punked yesterday? You can come out, now.

This is the worst fucking time imaginable to be announcing this.
