Hamsteak Podcast

This week: Oh gosh, a whole bunch. Abdication, coronation, cryptic exposition, a splintered timeline, more cryptic exposition, and a bunch of self-trolling (and troll-trolling) paradoxical Pesterlogs. Pages 3508 to 3568. There’s also: This nudibranch* (hee) that totally does look like PM. The sweet animation introducing us to splintered-timeline-Dave’s Land. (Find the jam on Bandcamp here.) The other sweet animation in which Jack Noir gets his usurping on. (Find this jam on Bandcamp, too.) Postgame of Thrones, which we keep talking about because it is a good podcast about Game of Thrones *Alex apologizes for conflating sea cucumbers with sea slugs. Hamometer reading: 20.39% complete. 40.34% of the way to [S] Cascade! Next week: Mostly, we recap the Year 1 Recap. Also John goes through a gate (and doesn’t die this time.)

Or: The Hams go to meatspace.

This week: Multiple appearances of eggy loking

thigns [sic]. We meet two queens. PM’s objectives escalate rather

quickly. John, Dave and Rose turn the trolling around on the

trolls. Pages 3402 to

3507.

There’s also:

Let Me Tell You About Homestuck is a podcast read-aloud of

Homestuck (with music!) that runs just about through where we

are now in the comic.

The

Homestuck Podcast digs into a different Homestuck topic in

every episode.

The Allusionist,

not a Homestuck but a linguistics podcast.

Lydia bought the mega-album

Homestuck vol. 1-4, and you can too.

Hamometer reading: 19.65% complete. 38.88%

of the way to [S] Cascade!

Next week: PM cuts a risky deal. John follows

GallowsCalibrator’s advice. Four months later, everything has gone

absolutely to hell; Rose and Dave handle it. Archagent Jack Noir

finally snaps. Pages 3508 to

3568.

Homestuck is over, but it goes on in our hearts. And in this podcast.

This week: We talk about The End (but we don’t spoil anything - we didn’t even watch it). PM remembers who she was a long, long time ago. AR doesn’t. Grandpa Harley makes an appearance. Rose’s planet is hands-down the most beautiful. Pages 3307 to 3401.

There’s also:

A revisit of WV’s chalk scribbles, which make a lot more sense now.

That one panel where John looks really cool.

Blebs the Seal, of “Crybaby Learns to Swim” fame.

A lady who is (safely, ethically) friends with lots of animals in Montana.

Next week: Hamsteak comes to you live! Meanwhile, in the comic, something falls out of the sky in the futuredesert. Dave makes a bunch of stuff on his rooftop. The trolls are blowing up everybody’s notifications with veiled advice. Against his better judgment, John listens to them. Pages 3402 to 3507.

The intermission is over, and we’re back to our regular cast for Act 4!

This week: John explores a gloomy planet covered in glowing mushrooms, where talking salamanders spew cheeky RPG-style exposition. The shouty grey troll outside of time learns some things about this human emotion called friendship. Jade makes a mess of things. Pages 3258 to 3306.

There’s also:

The game that makes up the bulk of this week’s “reading”

Neil Cicierega’s “guides” to the alien races of Star Trek and Star Wars, which only came up as a tangent based on a tangent, but, listen, a one-bullet list looks kind of lame and these are pretty funny

Next week: We see what John just saw from a very different point of view. Rose explores a weird planet of her own, guided by voices in hear head. The clock is ticking on Dave’s meteor, and Jade falls asleep. Pages 3307 to 3401.

Or: I Was Born in the Spiritual Horse Calendar. Or: There’s a Little Grey Boy On It.

Heads up for a bunch of gory cartoon violence, again.

This week: We lay eyes on Snowman and find out why it’s a bad idea to kill her. Some sick visual comedy and some gruesome dismemberment go down. Then Slick kills everybody but Snowman... sort of... and finds a screen with a troll on it. Pages 3163 to 3257.

There’s also:

A couple of really good calendar jokes.

A couple of Problem Sleuth references.

This cool-looking panel.

Our small grey son.

Next week: John explores the other side of the first gate. Then he gets trolled. Jade keeps the tradition of house-mangling server players alive. Far in the future, the exiles practice nonviolent conflict resolution. Pages 3258 to 3306.
