For all the creepy stalker people here who couldn't live with the thought of having permanently missed a formspring update, here's the last batch before he closed it, ripped from the tattered remains of his account with
Google.
In the Homestuck Beta, you eschewed the anti-aliased art style you had used for the rest of the adventures, but when you started the Homestuck Stable Release, anti-aliasing was back. Was there any particular reason for either of these decisions?
Because I didn't actually know what I was doing.
I was either not aware of the low quality setting which displayed vectors as aliased, or I didn't think it looked that great. I don't remember. I was also not even remotely aware of how much easier it would be, as well as aesthetically preferable, to just import loads of GIF graphics and animate those in Flash.
This speaks volumes about how all of HS has been approached. There I was, preparing to embark on something I knew would last at least a year, planning to do every page in an application I knew practically nothing about. Adjustments were made, as they have been the whole way through.
Launching into HS has been like partaking in an extreme wilderness survival challenge. I parachuted into the middle of the jungle with no equipment except for Picasso's stupid blank-loaded pistol. The beta was me unloading all the useless rounds into an angry tiger on the first night.
Whoof want to know when the next flash is coming?
In a few days or so. You might not see much til then.
I just wanted to inform you, Picasso carried a gun loaded with blanks that he would fire at people who asked him what his work 'meant'. Perhaps you should try something similar to the PLBs?
I didn't even know know that. Is that true? I haven't verified it via the internet yet, and I might never bother.
I think if anyone ever has a problem with me they need to keep that factoid in mind about him, to understand the true nature of a real life raging piece of garbage.
Meanwhile, I have never even owned a gun. If you combine that fact with the fact that the things I do are so much cooler than his dumb shitty paintings, the score rounds out to approximately Picasso: zero, Me: a hundred and fifty billion.
PP sux. I have found a new sworn arch rival from the grave. Too bad it's basically no contest already.
Hey, you know that Homestuck thing you do? Your side project to the Formspring? I love it, and I love you, and thank you. Just, thank you for creating something that I love, that I can truly enjoy, that is constantly expanding, and that isn't porn. <3
Thanks for saying that, and also about the formsprings too. And also for being grateful I don't do porn? You're welcome.
This is still by and large the type of question I get, and even most of the "troll questions" tend to be playful and harmless.
The picture I paint with some of my question selections is probably pretty different though. Why is that? A strange form of theater I guess. Probably some people think it is unsettling, but that's because it does too good a job at rendering a great pit of hostility beneath the surface. Such is the power of having complete control over the flow of information. This is the advantage the media enjoys, and which is why they can keep a lid on important and completely true conspiracies from being known.
I was kind of wondering if I went too far in any of my recent answers. Feeling mildly concerned about this, I reread everything I wrote, and I am pleased to report in the light of a new day that I have been 1000% exonerated. My FS answers remain as lucid as ever - coherent, informative, humble, and at worst, transcendentally hilarious.
And if anybody was wondering, the comparison of myself with Picasso below was in fact a strikingly successful attempt to place myself on the same level as one of the greatest and most acclaimed artists who ever lived, if not significantly higher. In no way was the comparison made simply because everyone has heard of him, to make a separate point. If that were the case, ideally I would have selected a very bad and unfamous artist to maintain a pleasing veneer of humility. This is the most important thing an artist should ever concern himself with, we all agree about that.
I love the story of Picasso's gun, whether or not it's actually true.
EDIT: Aw damn, he hosted them all elsewhere, and it was already linked. Well, whatever.
