 Sburb Glitch FAQ (Fanfic)
comment
Sburb Glitch FAQ is a Homestuck fanfiction that is written as if it were a Strategy Guide, written by a Sburb veteran for Sburb players. The author writes of the many glitches in Sburb, such as the Dummied Out "Clown" title, the unfortunate case of the temporally unglued pumpkins, the Saccharine Doppelganger, the undocumented "Instant Death" Radius around the prototyping towers... and the elephant in the room, why there are Sburb veterans in the first place.The problem is not that the game actually does transport you to another dimension. It's not that dying is everyone's favorite hobby. It's not even that every single instance of the game destroys a planet and civilisation. It's that the children who play the game are promised the Ultimate Reward... and it turns out it doesn't work. Instead, the game kicks the players into another game of Sburb, which when won drops them into another, and another...Although the FAQ itself doesn't dwell on it, much. Because the game is supposed to help you grow up as a person; it just happens to be so bugged that there's not much chance of getting out alive without a guide. Or a guard, like a Guard of Might.Contains many, many references to the Homestuck soundtrack, extensive worldbuilding, and a subtle subplot about how the narrator himself is trying to deal with the game. It also managed to spawn an extensive list of fanworks, most of which are on AO3.

Knight in Sour Armor: Most veteran players on the associated roleplay forum/chatroom. They speak of the game bitterly and have given up on ever expecting any breaks, but whenever a player (new or old) has a problem they'll flock to give helpful advice.

Easter Egg: The Skaian Magicant, a.k.a. "That basement with the record player". Of course, as an area that can connect other areas and in which enemies can't spawn it actually turns out to be pretty important in many sessions.

Unintentionally Unwinnable: When the game is beaten, there are two options available - accept the Ultimate Reward at the end of the credits, or select the little 'Replay' button in the corner. Sadly, the credits screen always bugs out, making the 'Replay' option the only chooseable one.

Wham Episode: The 'Advanced Game Theory' chapter, where we find out that Players are forced to replay the game again and again for what could very well be forever. Although the author himself now regards it as an Old Shame.

Dead Character Walking
 Sburb Glitch FAQ (Fanfic) / int_988357f9
comment
Dead Character Walking: High level Doom characters get access to an ability called [Even in Death], which activates when they are about to die and freezes the script that kills them when they hit zero health. As a result the player keeps running around even though they are technically 'dead'. They will even auto-ascend upon touching their crypt slab while in zombie mode.

Event Flag: Entering the first Gate. The Knell. The Slaying of the Beast and the resulting Terraforming. They're everywhere. And of course, in true buggy RPG fashion, you can accidentally fail to trigger some and then get stuck when a later scripted event doesn't trigger until you go back and redo it.

comment
Mood Whiplash: Dealing with Death part 3, a chapter about how to accept the permanent death of one's coplayers, is followed shortly by SBURB STUNT FAQ, a chapter about BIKE STUNTS. Though if you compare them, the Stunt FAQ was what the last line of Dealing with Death was talking about... Given hints that the narrator is the only one left alive in his session, the STUNT FAQ isn't quite as whiplashy as it first appears.

Coming of Age Story: The game appears to be trying to invoke one of these, with all its focus on "Maturity" and gradually taking away lifelines like your parents and your sprite, and major boss battles that are really just emotional trials. It somewhat missed the mark.

Obvious Beta: Sburb in its entirety. invoked The entire Void Aspect is either a horribly buggy feature in need of a patch, or working exactly as intended. It is most likely the second of the two as Void is explicitly meant to be ridiculously hard to find any mention of and deals entirely in non-existence and lacking. It is also coded specifically to compensate, and sometimes overcompensate, the player for the normal game features that it removes.
