Nah, the alternate history shit in Act 6 was every bit this bad in terms of style (although this gets worse with the implications of the subject matter)
Originally there was some backstory content hidden in some cursed tags in this site code. I came up with the concepts years ago for internal purposes, not originally intended for public consumption. I thought some might find it interesting if the material were leaked in the site code in an obscure way. I think it has proven to be neither obscure as imagined, nor all that rewarding to read. The subject matter was inflammatory in careless ways, and the negative reactions to it are legitimate and should have been expected. A drafting process can be messy and can result in some ill-advised nonsense which often should not see the light of day. Letting a bunch of rough draft text files be deployed in this way was not a well considered move. Obviously this material has hurt a lot of people. Which isn't what I was going for, and didn't anticipate, but certainly should have. As far as the intentions behind it, I'm sure I believed it would be read as condemnation through satire, but instead it came off as excessively irreverent and disrespectful of a sensitive topic (to be clear, the main topic relates to antisemitism, which of course is not an issue that should be handled frivolously). After receiving criticism it's obvious to me where I'd been mistaken, and why no one could have possibly read it the way it was intended. I know this content was bad, I regret putting it in a place where people would discover it, and I regret that it was drafted in the first place.
I acknowledge that there are certain subjects which demand an exceptional level of care, and that I have been inexcusably thoughtless in handling this. I understand that there should be a certain standard of consideration and review for the content that is presented to an audience, and in forgoing that consideration there have been serious consequences for those people whom this issue directly affects. This could have been easily avoided had I sought a more careful review before it was posted to ensure that what I actually wanted to convey was being properly conveyed.
I am sorry that this lapse of judgment has been hurtful to so many people. I cannot undo the damage that this has caused, but I can promise that I am aware of the gravity of this mistake and that, going forward, I will be more mindful of the serious impact careless decisions have on those they hurt.

You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.
apophis passes the earth peacefully. however, a smaller piece of the asteroid breaks off and heads toward earth. andrew hussie, who now resides in eastern siberia after he was forced to exile due to the disastrous events of january 2019 looks up to the sky wistfully. an old promise is about to be fulfilled
he peers back to the cabin where he has lived the last years with the disgraced swidler president donald trump and banished vladimir putin, ectobiological child of a naked mole rat and stalin’s right buttcheek. hussie enters the cabin for the last time and locks the door behind him
the meteor collides, killing the trio instantly. a hooded figure crosses a name from its list. old sins have been redeemed. Death itself stands at the edge of the crater. the doomed timeline has been averted. the world will now enter a era of peace and prosperity for generations

Bah, I've got this melody I've been trying and failing to remember what it's from for like an hour. Pretty sure it's from a Homestuck track. Can't describe it very well but I'm kinda desperate to figure it out at this point. I think it's a lower key moment in a sorta fighty track, but it's still energetic, and it's like, rapid plucks on either a harp or the strings of a violin, with some strokes on some deeper string instrument in the back.
My daughter has been playing Undertale lately. I had to explain why the main character thought she saw a ghost when she battled Toriel, was because I killed Toriel on my first playthrough. My daughter was horrified at me.

I didn't know! I tried sparing her four or five times, but it didn't work, and then I didn't realize the more someone doesn't want to fight the more damage you do. It was horrible.
We're up to Asgore now and both of us were crying when the monsters appear in the castle and tell the story of Asriel. It still makes me a mess every time I read that.

Such a ridiculous long game to have the first track with a real instrument sound to it saved for that moment and it pays off so hard.

What really gets ya with the toriel fight is that the game waits until just before the point where you’d expect the tactic to work before slamming you with the ridiculous damage numbers. It’s a nasty trick, and a perfect way of saying “no, you can’t do it this way.”
Man, I still haven't finished Homestuck. I decided to finish it last year by starting from the beginning, but I stalled out at the start of act six. I'll probably start from there next time I start it up but my reading list has only been growing lately.

I love Homestuck but for me I think it definitely benefited from being a community experience.

It benefited being a community experience up until that community became THAT community and I got rid of all my Homestuck clothing.
