this is unironically my favorite part of homestuck. im serious. as fun as the kids and trolls interactions are, as compelling as the story can be sometimes, its the actual mechanics of the game- the medium, planets, questing, godtiers- that appeal to me that most. especially when you consider how even just tiny changes to a team composition or sprite prototyping can affect the entire game. not to mention things like glitches or bugs that could or could not exist.
