Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Homestuck still haunts the internet.
And yet nobody can ever experience it the way it was originally again since they killed Flash.
It's like coming back from the war with PTSD and nobody understands what you went through. Except the PTSD is about buckets and dating quadrants.
The official Homestuck site will still let the original SWF files load as long as you have something that can play them. Ruffle works fine. You can also use one of the few browsers that still supports PPAPI plugins (like Falkon) with the official Flash plugin.
But personally I'd say to just use The Unofficial Homestuck Collection, which is more pleasant to read through than the original ever was.
