[S] Calliope: Exit

[Qmark]

Yeah, just shipping really.

But really, if there was Sburb exposition specifically, and it was not classpects, what would you actually want to know?

Well in that case, how about all the different grist types/underlings/quest factors/methods of ascension/pretty much everything related to Denizens?

Also, we NEED to see the Vast Croak in action before the comic's over. It has to be done.

[recalcitrantIre]

But really, if there was Sburb exposition specifically, and it was not classpects, what would you actually want to know?

As much that could be put into a weeks worth of exposition

Hussie could just take an entire week to write up all this S___b stuff, take 10 minutes to draw the panels and post the pages after a break

[genteelGunslinger]

GG: You would not BELIEVE how many fights get started of KAnaya's sexuality. People are REALLy angry with Hussie over that one, because "IT GOES AGAINST WHAT HE SAID IN CANON."

For reals.

Hm. Well, that doesn't stop me from shipping her with Rose, so all is good.

Unless Rose is also not a homosexual.

In that event, I'll simply accept them as the best friends ever.

[Ace of Dark-Hearts]

I've been wanting to know all the different Grist types for SO LONG.

Grist is REALLY INTERESTING for some reason.

[Freack]

In that event, I'll simply accept them as the best friends ever.

YOu would give up a ship over a thing like canon? I tip my hat to you, sir. I could never be that strong.



But really, most of that stuff aside from how Skaia works seems like it would not really effect the story that much? Like, you will never get to play the game. Why do you care?

[PumpkinMan]

I've been wanting to know all the different Grist types for SO LONG.

Grist is REALLY INTERESTING for obvious reason.

You seemed to misspell something. Caught that for you. Because really. GRIST. Goes without saying it needs more screentime.

[Qmark]

In summation, if Hussie ever makes a full Sburb game manual, I will take out a blank check, write "ALL OF MY MONEY" accross it, fly to a convention he's attending and personally hand it to him while wearing an expression of grim determination.

bonus points if the entire guide's written in the form of an issue of GameBro.

*Affect :)

Why do we want to know anything? What is the point of ever trying to figure out how something works? What is the point of theoretical science? It's pretty much useless in the end.

If canon did not dictate my ships, then my rant for the last couple of pages would have been pointless.

Someone take away my abilities to mess up words.

RP buddies....

Also, yes. Dead Cat Troll.

What about it?

There is disagreement on this point for some reason.
Why? Your guess is as good as mine.

I actually think it is exactly that. Or, a 'fetish', if you want to use Hussie's word for it.

A) Spelling? Me? Hahshjkhawe;uiyhrnkv?

B) Yeah, but hypothetical science is REAL-er than grist which WILL NEVER EXIST. Yup.

I only really care about the game when it Affects the story. Mostly because I hate games. Mostly because I suck at them.

It's fun to pretend though.

Also, some of us just like worldbuilding. All the finicky, irrelevant details like grist types and S---b phernalia and how planet names are decided are oddly appealing.

[Tirgo]

i find it extremely likely that after homestuck ends, hussie will put out a SBURB encyclopedia explaining a lot about the game that we previously did not know

because, you know, money

My point was that humans are naturally curious -___-

Yes exactly. World building is like one of my favorite parts of every game I've ever owned.

Platformers always have such interesting levels :3

I would buy the fucking SHIT out of that book.

[Freack]

I dunno.

The Harry Potter Encyclopedia never happened. I am still bitter over that.

I generally like world building. That was my favorite part of a lot of fantasy series I have read. I even like a lot of the world Building in Homestuck. But it is so spread out and confusing in places and I suck at this kind of stuff.

Has anyone put together a huge compilation of everything we know about Sburb and the world it creates. Preferably in the form of a bulleted list?

[Tirgo]

hussie has a lot of time on his hands if he does homestuck after all. maybe even know he's making notes about sburb so he can compile it into a book

maybe the book is done and will be announced soon

maybe it's already on topatoco

You placed that link, convincing me it was a book. But I fell for your trap.

I should have seen this coming.....

[PatsuSenpai]

I wonder if the secret project he was talking about would be an encyclopedia... I doubt it though.

[Ace of Dark-Hearts]

Hussie has gone basically as big as a story can get, what with creating universes; what do you think his next story will be like? Do you think it will be drastically smaller-scaled, or are you hoping for more video game-esque complexities and grandeur?

[Kíeros]

In summation, if Hussie ever makes a full Sburb game manual, I will take out a blank check, write "ALL OF MY MONEY" across it, fly to a convention he's attending and personally hand it to him while wearing an expression of grim determination.

I think that would be a common reaction to that. Now we only need him to do that.

What about it?

There wasn't anything really about it, it's just yours looked really silly, just like Ace's title does right now (Uses Abbrvtns 2 Condescend (i'm sorry to interrupt, but i have to point out that i am a baka who is unwilling to spend the time to type out 'you' on a keyboard. anyways...) you)

maybe it's already on topatoco

Oh cool. A youtube link, instead of a topataco. To where does it lead, I wonder?

[Freack]

He talked about jumping genres.

I think he would at least take a little break from Homestuck. I have seen him say in interviews that he sometimes forgets things, which makes it seem unlikely that he takes very good notes.

Did you know that when Stephen King wrote the last Dark Tower book he had a person help him compile notes to explain everything that happened?

No, but, really, no giant list? Damm

[genteelGunslinger]

Didn't he imply that it was going to be something different from what he's done already? This will be a completely different form of media. Or something just different in style. WE DO NOT KNOW.

Also, this is adorable:

Well, Problem Sleuth began in a small room and ultimately progressed to stitching a universe together.
Homestuck began the same way and has expanded to fit four universes so far.

If Andrew's move to another medium doesn't compromise this style (it probably will), then we can expect at least 15 universes to be obliterated.

First of all, I did that because I was having a hard time making it fit, second of all, I actually do that.

Whenever I type something like "LOL" or "OMG" it's usually condescending/ironic.

MEANWHILE AT VALVE...

anyway i am hussie's best friend and he tells me everything so i feel obliged to reveal to you that the squiddle session will not be published in web-comic form. it will be made into forty-eight parts each roughly the length of homestuck act five, spread into like 100 books, all of which will be fifty dollars. he has been keeping this a secret but i cannot hold the information in any longer. sorry.

I think
It's probably hells of unhealthy in all honesty but it's a thing I do too without much remorse
