#also i think it'll prove to be quite interesting with the implications of some other stuff...

⋆𖦹 oh this is interesting! i'm surprised to see so many pilots who rely on analog! most of my controls are neural, almost exclusively actually but with some motion capture? kinda?

the little quirk is that to enhance the feeling connection beyond even just the neurolink implant is im suspended in a sort of fluid-solid? Liza says it's like some old cradle thing called ooblek? im not sure what that is but she says it does the same thing of responding differently to different types of pressure. I'm not actually sure what the fluid-solid called but alongside the neurolink and (Athena now too) it makes me feel like i am more an embodiment of Wallcreeper than just her pilot, because i can physically feel the impact of each blow or movement, which is helpful data but can leave almost an afterimage of the pain if i get hit? like a mental bruise almost? if that makes sense?

oh also i've noticed i experience a sort of phantom limb syndrome sometimes on dismount, especially if i've been in the cockpit for a good while, cause my brain gets used to computing how to move and balance with the extra limbs and so when i've just got the two again it can kinda mess with my co-ordination a bit (wears off though don't worry)

uuuh im not totally sure what everyone uses, but i know Thebe uses full body capture for her Tokugawa, cause she likes to feel like she's the one fully controlling every movement. I know Liza uses analog for her Tortuga cause she's an old-timer and i assume that's what Dido uses but i haven't actually seen inside her Blackbeard so i'm not too sure, and i don't know what Kanmi uses but i think it's closer to analog with a bit of neural for reaction speed and all that.

thanks for the question though! and hope you can stay out of trouble for a bit (im sure they deserved it but like.. be careful eh), i don't doubt you can hold your own (you look pretty badass) but like ya let your body rest at least.

sending you all good wishes and may the cosmic winds blow in your favour!

This is Ouroboros signing off!

Genuinely curious (Arthur wanted me to do something other then getting into fights for a bit), so I want to put out a question to all the other Lancers out there. What are the control systems in your mech like? I've seen a bunch of different ones and I want to know whats the most popular? Do you have a neural connection? Completly analogue controls? A full body motion capture system?

A """summary""" of Homestuck: Act 6 Part 1

by someone who's glad they've gone back to basics for a bit

Let's (for a brief, fleeting moment) start again nice and simple.

It is the 11th of November, 2011 and today a young girl named Jane Crocker is excited to play the alpha for a game that comes out today called SBURB. How fun!

Jane here is heiress to Betty Crocker's baked goods empire (as mentioned previously in Nannasprite's story), and there is also set to be a major rebranding initiative happening today as well. She likes baking, detective stories, as well as the occasional jape.

But look out! There's another guy! His name is Jake English, and he's quite fond of action-adventure flicks, guns, and blue alien chicks. Fucking freak he is.

Jake is currently helping/pestering Jade, his ectodaughter/dead grandma who is set to give it to John (Jake's relations with him is yet to be revealed), before realising that it'll need a bit of uranium to be finished. He only can get it through a boy called Dirk Strider, (unfortunately), and his Brobot which just so happens to be the only source of uranium on the island that Jake lives on.

Before he pesters Dirk, Jake gets a message from someone (presumably a troll) named UU. They essentially tell him "hey!!! go for it!! i believe in yoU!!! also this event is extremely important timeline-wise, so dont screw it Up!!!!"

Jake attempts to get to Dirk about uranium, only to get the equivalent of an AI-based answering machine, much to his dismay.

He then heads out of the island's forest (with the dread of the Brobot lingering) and into the open. He witnesses the beautiful fauna on display.

Too beautiful for comfort.

Jake attempts a getaway, before being swarmed by a large swarm of fairy bulls! Whatever shall he do now? But not to worry, because a certain BrotherRobot has come to rescue!

He then immediately gets his ass kicked royally, (complete with Tensei's amazing score) and blacks out. He has a dream about someone who kinda looks like Vriska???? But isn't really??? Maybe it's one of the prophecy people that Doc Scratch was talking about??? Or undead Vriska??? idk man.....

He tells Roxy Lalonde about this, who panics because everyone in the group is attracted to Jake in some way. He is a harem protag, apparently.

Anyway, while Jane has the most relatable moment in all of Homestuck by awkwardly confirming her and Jake's 'friendship', Brobot tears out its own heart, then blows itself up, giving Jake the uranium he needs. He also confesses to Jane that he and Dirk would be a good couple!!!!

The Alpha Gang have proved themselves to be superior to the Beta Gang by being gay.

Jake is last seen in this chapter heading down the frog temple, presumably to finally send that package.

Where was I? Oh yeah, Jane!

So CrockerCorp undergoes its big rebranding, changing its symbol to a fork instead of a spoon, which will have very big implications later on.

After UU pesters her about the nature of the game she will play, she continues to look out the window, to no game yet in her mailbox.

While pestering a ditzy girl named Roxy Lalonde, she just so happens to notice that her mailbox flappy thing is up, meaning the game is finally here! She dons a shitty disguise to confuse her dad (which is the same as John's dad), and, with the help of Dirk's robot bunny Lil Seb creating a massive hole in the wall, she lass scampers out of there.

She opens the mailbox, which then proceeds to fucking explode, knocking her out and sending her to Prospit, where Jack Noir ᶠᵘᶜᵏᶦⁿᵍ ᵏᶦˡˡˢ ʰᵉʳ ᵍᵒᵈᵈᵃᵐᵐᶦᵗ before she wakes up.

I think at this point I am completely past the point of no return and have no choice but to cosplay as Gamzee with nothing but grey Sharpie. Other than that, Homestuck continues to keep itself fresh and interesting through established lore (probably from a page you don't even remember because you were too distracted by Karkat yelling).

Even more excited to see where this goes!
