@Tappy Sixtons discontinued I mean yeah the genesis project is neat but it isn’t proper Sburb I think their reasons for wanting to play sburb is either a desire to escape their current situation, a simple desire to feel in control or, the reason my mum is interested in sburb, wanting to renovate our house.
Yet another link between Caliborn and the Gnostic Yaldabaoth: Caliborn attempted to play Sburb, and thus become a creator, alone. He murdered his sister before maturing in order to do this, resulting in his stunted growth meaning he can never achieve self-actualisation. So his desire to work alone is what causes him to be a failure both on a symbolic and a literal level.
This series is so full of interesting, insightful, and embarrassingly validating content that I'm seriously considering creating a patreon account just to join that discord chat.
yes but sburb not only lets you go on the path of a hero it also lets you go on the path of a villan(to the point where you can side with the derse carapacians and overthrough the black king and you win that way, side note you can still do this and become a hero) and also let you become neither(refer to rose considering she never went on the games intended journey yet she still went on a neutral journey). Also ,while yes sburb is played with multiple people, making you rely on them so you can progress and rise as a hero/villan/neutral, even though your not supposed to, you can do this alone(refer to caliborn), and while yes caliborn did need hussie and gamzee to progress, he more or less used them to progress like someone would make someone else get on their hands and knees so that they may step on them to get higher. My point is, sburb gives virtually limitless freedom of choice.
That's quite true! But Sburb still takes a pretty clear preference towards teamwork and friendship, and away from ruthless conquering. Caliborn's dead session is explicitly a punishment for him, after all.
These videos are awesome and really well put together. I've read your stuff on medium as well and I love it. I honestly wish I could donate, but I can't. sorry :/
I'm starting to feel bad about the fact that people keep saying stuff like that, to be honest, haha. Really it doesn't matter! If people are enjoying my writing and enjoying Homestuck more that's 100% the most important thing to me. Btw, if you've read Homestuck all the way through I've also written stuff exclusively hosted on Tumblr, in case that interests you. In any case, thanks a ton for the message and for enjoying this! And really don't worry about money, if you're enjoying Homestuck and find more to like about it and the content I create makes it easier for other people to get into it, that's more than I could ever ask for.
on maslow, near the end of his life he said self fulfillment should really be at the bottom of the rung, and it is not something quite like the confidence you just described, more like the knowledge that you are doing good to the people you live with, in whatever shape that takes.
I'd be interested in a quote for that Maslow statement on...flipping the hierarchy, if I'm understanding you correctly? I don't necessarily doubt it--I definitely don't know enough about this stuff to discount the possibility. It's just that I've never heard of anything to that effect, so I'm curious. As for Self-Actualization being more like doing good to the people you live with, I certainly think it involves that, though being held in Esteem by others is the rung that seems more in line with that. My memory on this is a little foggy at the moment, but it's certainly possible I muddled the ideas and mixed in the Hero's Journey self-actualization to Maslow's themes a little more than I meant to. Thanks for letting me know if so, I'll look into it.
this really makes me want to somehow play sburb

And also the fact that Caliborn created homostuck which is a failed horrid version of homestuck already implies his connection to homestuck

Aw jeez, that's really sweet to hear! If I can ask, in what sense is it validating? That left me pretty curious :)
optimistic Duelist if it means anything now, you’ve certainly validated my continued use of the classpect system to build characters haha
A topic that Id love to see talked about is the Green Sun, both from a game and scientific standpoints.
I didn't know the rabbit hole I jumped into until I started watching these videos
Somehow, hearing you talk about this is like reading the comic all over again, even though I know all this already.
Is it just me? Or would it be a little easier if these were numbered?
UA-cam automatically transcribed Yaldabaoth as 'yoga veil' and honestly same tbh
Me too tbqh. I have no idea if I'm pronouncing it right
I say it "Yal-dah-bouth"
I say it, "Yall-da-bowth"
I do too honestly.
I wish I could see Hussie react to this series...
I love these videos as I have been interested in learning more about Sburb as a game! Keep up the amazing work with that awesome editing!
Thanks! I worry about the editing sometimes so I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it :) Definitely will keep it up!
Now I REALLY wish sburb existed irl

Google translated needed
Es increible lo mucho que esto suena a sobre analisis y a su vez lo mucho que todo encaja .
Ya estos vídeos son muy buenos en especial si quieres todavía más homestuck (lo que es mi caso) de lo que ya tenemos
I can't wait for the live action VR PS 10 home stuck MMO in 2038
Wow this is really interesting!
>kra tos is incorrect pronunciation. It is Kr A Tos
gamers rise up
Awesome!
"Vertical Movement"
HSE PREDICTED CANWC CONFIRMED
You could also use the title "Vertical Propulsion" just to mix up the second word in the title
Otherwise cool vid
