I have never read Homestuck and quite frankly every time I see the name I think of Homestar Runner which I have been meaning to look at for a while but the whole Flash thing put me off and now it's Complicated.

@ifixcoinops@retro.social My continued ignorance of what homestuck actually is has reached the level of finely-crafted bit.

No really, it's been called the greatest work of fiction of the 21st century, but it's a webcomic so hardly anybody knows about it

But of those that do, none of them will ever believe that hardly anybody knows about it

@ifixcoinops@retro.social it's an undertale, right?

@ifixcoinops@retro.social [hipsteur trying to start an argument voice] eh, it did some interesting things with form and metanarrative but the actual storytelling is only average, too many plot elements fail to hold up under close examination, and the ending did not live up to the hype

People don't understand how niche their hobbies are

Countless Screaming Argonauts

@ifixcoinops@retro.social That's why I make sure my niche hobby is nested inside another niche hobby (sometimes inside a third niche hobby), so I'm sure it's so obscure that no one I meet will know what the hell I'm on about.

@ifixcoinops@retro.social there was a online knitters culture war about green socks (or maybe green yarn) a while back. I missed that one but Iā€™m still kind of mad at ravelry for doing one on the migraneurs.

Heh, #wrestling fans understand. Maybe not folks who are exclusively fans of WWE; they might be shocked to know.

The rest of us are often shocked to learn there are independent promotions running our towns. When you go and see a venue set to hold maybe 75, 100 people only two-thirds full, you quickly get the idea. You recognize that any show legitimately selling out is a blessing, even at fifty people in fifty paid seats.
