I always suspected Homestar had no idea how to spell things. Or maybe it's just hard to type without visible arms.
Either way, he's just trying his best, and I'm proud of him.

photoslob, me too. Disabled it after one of the recent zero-days. This is one of the rare instances where it hurts...

It's also on Youtube, for anyone who doesn't have flash anymore.

Of course, given Strong Bad's excellent typing abilities whilst wearing boxing gloves, typing as an activity might well be a very different thing in the Homestar universe.

I nearly jumped when Homestar said he knew what HTML stood for, and started reciting it correctly.
"Hyper Text Markup" ah, yes, yes! "Lotion" NOOOOOOOOO.

schmod: "How do you write ECMAScript 6 with boxing gloves on?"
It's literally the only way to write ecmascript.

So I guess we're agreed then that it's necessary to keep Flash going after all?

I'm sorry did Homestar just write that his likes include A PLATE OF BEANS?

NoScript was a man, I mean, he was a dragon man
Or maybe he was just a dragon
But he was still NoScript!

The Homestuck fandom is trying to figure this out too, since so much of the webcomic is built on Flash. Some parts are interactive, so just YouTube videos isn't going to cut it.

Don't worry, there's absolutely no danger that he'll overthink them.

Let's just rename it the Homestar Runtime and only allow it to work on homestarrunner dot com.
