>>90917904Homestuck Act 1-4 is the last true MSPA style MSPA. The last remnant of that 04 era Newgrounds/SomethingAwful/PennyArcade/NeilCicigera classic internet era.
The formal introduction of the trolls both parodies this style with Hivebent, before turning into a lampoon of 08-11 Deviantart/gaming autism culture.
That's the last successful parody Hussie pulls off. Early Act 6 is a retread of early Homestuck, followed by the absolute disgrace that is A6I3, which was Hussie's failed attempt to parody 2012 era Twitter/Tumblr/4chan culture. All remaining references are extremely forced (snapchat, kickstarter jokes, shitty claymation vines, etc.) and ultimately add nothing to the plot.
Truth is Hussie didn't die. He probably still has it in him to write another PS. He just lost his connection to modern internet culture, and that bothers him. He doesn't think he can improve his work if he can't connect with the modern kids.
Why else would he hand the reigns over to some literally who on Twitter? He wants someone who gets the kids these days in charge of the franchise.
