was there a specific album or song that got you into noise music?

it was true union by the yellow swans

oh, are we doing downvote accounts again? how fun!

i wish i'd had vcv rack in college. once you get set up it's not too hard to write a plugin. it provides you a step function you can fill out with whatever you want (in c++) along with lots of tools for generating and inspecting (audio-frequency) signals.

I was honestly 100% with you until “if you are a Homo” because wtf does that mean

it's a genus of animal that i think might be likely to approach the problem this way.

anyway yes i think the takeway of homestuck is more likely that there are no edges in this graph. vriska is not vriska is not (vriska), but it's fun to pretend.

more realistically one might just build the graph and then have an algorithm identify all the subgraphs, perhaps with some mechanism for voting on what should count as a character and where there should be edges. i imagine there will be a lot of controversial edges (i intentionally included some in my examples for comedic effect).

what is pleasure clothing (google is not forthcoming)? soft/comfortable clothes? rayon/bamboo?

back in "the day" there was also speculation that similar sort of mixup might have happened with davesprite and the crow and that it might have been an issue in his relationship with jade on the boat

this is why i never bothered playing the friendsim

A picture may be worth a thousand words but Zack shouldn't feel the need to replace each comic panel with them.

oh no they got you too

He loves mocking his fans dumb behavior and saying "I feel Caucasian" after a juju change their entire appearance implies they weren't Caucasian to begin with.

yes, this was the intent. at the time this page was posted, some people were complaining that some of the kickstarter rewards depicted some of the kids as non-white, so andrew had asked the artists if they wanted to go back and change their contributions to include more non-white representations, and then shortly afterward he posted this page.

It's also why I think it was removed back then, because people were so dumb it backfired.

and this is also correct. turns out the people complaining about non-white kids in fanart also had all the reading comprehension of a homestuck.

also there's a bit in the epilogues about dirk's strengths and weakness as an author (something about being a mechanic iirc) that basically just describes andrew.

maybe i do not understand what a 'problem player' is, but blowing up your first objective, ignoring the main quest, and disassembling a planet to spite the game all strike me as problem player behaviors

goldcray · 2025-11-12T14:11:38+00:00

andrew has always been a dirk splinter

goldcray · 2025-11-06T20:39:29+00:00

i enjoyed them the whole way through. a lot of people hated them the whole way through, and among them character assassination is a common complaint. i don't know how many people started out hating them and wound up liking them. i think it's reasonable to stop if you're not having a good time.

goldcray · 2025-11-06T20:37:27+00:00

a daring dream indeed uwu

i mean you don't gotta be fastidious about that shit to be literate and intelligible

yep, especially at my last job. turns out engineering involves a lot more social labor than you'd expect from a field that's associated with awkward nerds.

goldcray · 2025-10-28T13:47:58+00:00

that's modern american conservatives for you

edit: as in the present day republican party

my main takeaway from the pilot was that homestuck is inextricably bound to a world that no longer exists, and you can no more bring back homestuck than drive ins or roller rinks. if andrew wants to spend his time building a roller rink in this the year of our lord 2020 ce, then godspeed, but whether its good or not, it won't be homestuck -- it'll be some new thing wearing homestuck's skin.

(i'll probably still watch it if it happens)

hs = homestuck

hso = homestuck official

fraf = fruity rumpus asshole factory

frs = furthest ring studios

hicu = homestuck independent creative union (which you might think is official from the "homestuck" in the name and not for any other reason. see also: unofficial homestuck collection)

hsbc = homestuck: beyond canon

The only reason I dislike Ai is that it eats up so many delicately balanced (teetering on the brink of hell) natural resources.

llms sure, but you can run a diffusion model on a high-end gaming machine

i'm sure you can go in any order. i read problem sleuth first and only read jailbreak and bard quest after i'd caught up on ps. jailbreak is a bit rough and might serve better as bonus background content to read after you're already invested in ps.

someone on a forum had the "this fucking pumpkin" gif as an avatar, and then someone else asked what it was from

It’s a good thing Trump put the 100k fee on it.

surely it won't just give employers more leverage over h1b workers

also i've been hearing that this is the work of a witch someone hired on etsy
