Did you know Homestar Runner at all?

Used to watch Homestarrunner on dial-up.

Would take about 20 to 30 minutes to load a 3-4 minute toon.

Don't miss that part of internet antiquity.

I do miss when videos used to fully buffer though! Now, if I have a crappy connection and I pause to let the video load, it mostly doesn’t.

I always thought it was the same thing as Homestuck and avoided both!

Oh, you missed out so much. Fortunately, the site is still mostly usable, though last time I checked, the games did not work.
