17776 ( what football will look like in the future ) is a multimedia surrealist web story (question mark) showing a speculative future of humanity after being stuck in time told from the perspective of three space probes

I love 17776 and 20020. Funnily enough, I discovered both through a rec list for Homestuck fans. If you guys like JUICE and haven't read 20020, I highly recommend it. Or just if you like 17776 in general, but especially if you like JUICE.

yooo no way 17776 mention! probably one of jon bois's best works of all time, i absolutely adore how it uses it's medium and the story itself is super good. probably like the main inspiration for my own writing in present day jon bois just so nice with it.

i heard he turnt 20021 into an actual book on his bsky, really curious as to how he's gonna do some of the more crazy formatting of 17776/20020 in a book but its probably gonna be sick nonetheless

Woah, I didn't think 20021 was ever coming out. I'm very happy to hear it's not just completely cancelled. Thanks for sharing, I'm going to have to keep an eye out for that.

Not technically about 17776, which is excellent by the way, but I just wanna say that Jon Bois and his crew have gotten me more invested in sportsball than any other force in the galaxy. The Atlanta Falcons videos are perfectly ultimate: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUXSZMIiUfFSzzgEL4N9aYBXPmGVen3zW

I haven't watched the other Dorktown videos yet. This is obviously a gigantic mistake that I must find the time to correct.

The "what year is it" video for 20020 was one hell of an opening. I still remember the opening song.


Barely checked out the recent stuff though. Why make the next one a book? Because money?

HE IS

ABSOLUTELY

hard to really pin down how much i love 17776. i think the part that got me the MOST, though (besides. you know. all of it.) was the guy in the cave who speedran that little video game for years and years and years until he got it frame perfect. second fav is the eulogy for the Livermore Centennial bulb- i used to live there, and i remember learning about it in school. reading that part for the first time was a punch in the gut.
