    Yeah, it was the worse joke and the worst people were taking it as ammunition, regardless of what it meant.

  • Ms DapperMs Dapper Yuri Librarian Registered User regular
    Even as someone who was not into Homestuck at the time I heard about the joke due to being on Tumblr at the time. It was a huge deal on there and I saw a lot of people being super shitty and using it to harass others. I actually looked at the comic to try to get some idea of what was happening, which to be honest didn't help that much. When I finally did learn what was happening it made me really see Andrew Hussie in a bad light. It basically made me write him off as an asshole for a very long time.

    Yeah.

    While he admittedly did a decent thing by removing it because it was being used to harass people, it really would've been for the best if he had given more thought to how it would be received, and changed it before it went out.

    yeah that original joke is the one thing I will point to as an example of andrew letting his frustrations negatively impact his writing

    I think the updated version works well enough as a silly callback to jade's dancing fruits

    imo Trickster mode is great and creators aren't responsible for shitty fan behaviour. (Especially if they take action to try and stop shitty fan behaviour like Hussie did. Eg: MLP creators response to bad fan behaviour vs SU creators response to bad fan behaviour.)

    they're not responsible for shitty fan behavior but they sure as shit are responsible for when they pettily snipe at their fans for having the audacity to criticize their work

    Trickster Mode did get the kids to go godtier, which gave us the Rogue of Void outfit which is the best, so Trickster Mode did one thing good.

    Also, I finally found an old video someone made of Calliope.

    Been meaning to find it for a while, but couldn't figure out the right search criteria until now.

    Episode 9: Let Me Tell You About Ironic Child Abuse

    00609.gif
    Me and Ashley continue exploring Dave's um... unfortunate home life, as he sifts through piles upon piles of plush puppet ass to build an assortment of deadly replica anime weapons to challenge his Bro with, accidentally participating in puppet snuff films along the way. It's not all sex dungeons and criminal neglect though, as John takes some inspiration from famed Night Court actor Harry Anderson to unlock the secrets of SBURB's punchard-based crafting system, and it's a good thing because it looks like he'll need it soon! Oh, and also? As of this episode, Ashley is OFFICIALLY A HOMESTUCK FAN. WELCOME TO THE DARK CARNIVAL, SISTER

    @MsDapper remember when the biggest mystery of the comic was what the deal with Jade GG was

    For reference this episode and the next 1-2 come from our 6th recording session

    Last night we did session 31

    @Ms Dapper the longest we've recorded for is ~7 hours

    If we assume the worst case scenario that every recording session is 7 hours long (which is definitely not true), then we have 25 untouched sessions

    7 * 25 is 175 hours

    If we start doing 2 hour episodes with act 3, then in the worst case scenario we have 88 episodes recorded

    Which isn't even 2 years! The outlook isn't as bad as we've been thinking!

    Well most likely finish putting these out before totally reprise ends!

    Whoa what there were 156 episodes of Totally Spies? Okay yeah LMTYAHS ending first seems pretty likely.

    i got bored and decided to do the math more accurately

    assuming file size roughly correlates to file length, which both makes sense and seems to be true empirically, an hour of recording is about 300 MB

    sessions 7-31 add up to 32100 MB

    or about 107 hours

    divide that by two, and there's enough material for 53 2 hour episodes and 1 1 hour episode

    that's not so bad at all!

    The rest of part 6 adds up to about 1400 MB, or 4.333 hours

    so toss another two episodes onto that and add the remainder to the 1 hour episode and we're caught up with where we currently are by August 2017

    the much scarier metric is that we recorded part 6 on April 25

    which means we've read ~112 hours of homestuck in the past 65 days

    that's nearly a rate of two hours per day, and assuming we're sleeping 8 hours a night represents slightly more than 10% of our waking lives in the past two months

    Wow. It sounds like Ashley has been pretty thoroughly told about Homestuck.

    Out of curiosity, is there a reason for switching to 2-hour episodes rather than, say, releasing 2 1-hour episodes a week?

    I have a twitter.

    either would work i guess

    the main thing is we want to get these dang episodes out the door

    Also, breaking it into smaller episodes means more time spent on introductory stuff for each part.

    When you get to the Act 6 stuff, you should adopt the latter-day Homestuck release schedule. Just huge dumps of audio every so often. 12 hour podcast? Sure, why not.
