In order to breathe some life into this place I figure we can try one of the basics. Maybe a few threads will get us noticed.
I was in college for interactive multimedia development and was very into web comics as an emerging media. I had been following about 20 of them and even had my own short lived attempt at one. One day during a class I noticed one of my classmates reading Problem Sleuth. The idea of having a forum driven story was certainly interesting, and the first time I’d seen that done.
I was still checking MSPA after Problem Sleuth had ended and Homestuck pretty much blew me away at the haunting piano refrain. Being a complete sucker for soundtracks, the idea of a webcomic having one just… well I’m here now 15 years or so later. I don’t think I’m the most die hard fan but I was probably deeper into it then I am proud of.
It’s actually something that I’ve only experienced via my friends who experienced it as it was coming out, and who booby trap chats with memes related to it. My understanding is nowadays with flash out of the picture, it’s not something you can really experience the way it started, right?
I’ve slowly been doing a reread with this its working pretty good for me.
Cackled, I’ll have to try and get this working on Linux
