A little Homestuck PSA
As 4/13 is right around the corner I just wanted to remind everyone about the Unofficial Homestuck Collection. As Viz and the death of Flash have been slowly killing the intended Homestuck experience there is still a way to see it how it was meant.
This offline program allows for all the flash to be seen and mini games to be played as intended and helps protect from spoilers. If you are going to start reading Homestuck or are planning to trick some unsuspecting friend into reading please consider using this program!
And - I love new livebloggers! Let me know who you love to watch make this journey.

An offline browser built from the ground up to archive Homestuck and its related works.
Also! Homestuck has some language that has not aged well (i.e. slurs and unkind terms, especially towards the begining) so someone also made an optional patch that removes that language and replaces it with stuff that still keeps it funny! Not everything gets replaced outside the main comic but I know they are working on it!

I think it’s hella cool that this option exists for people that may not be comfortable with the very late 2000s internet language of homestuck, but this post opened my eyes to that fact that homestuck mods can exist, like we can mod homestuck now,

Hey all - heads up! They updated to version 2.0.
bringing this back in circulation to say u got a few options now too. unfortunately the main page is down (theres talks of an official version coming soon but for now id still recommend this offline version)
Unofficial card to help people while the main page is down
parts of this fan adventure are out of date but it has relevant information as well. i used it during my first install and now they both go hand in hand in my mind.
a simple unofficial guide on how to install the unofficial homestuck collection.
hope these help you on the newfound present!
(PS: about the current shutdown, i seriously doubt theres gonna be anything happening to this program. so many clones exist of it online, i even have a friend hosting a clone of the main site if you’d want the link. once you download it its saved to your computer so even *if* anything happens to giovanh you’d still be ok to download.)
heres his site just to keep up to date with the ongoing news and id recommend joining the discord if you have any problems downloading
