it simultaneously resembles both something very large and a period of time in which nothing visibly takes place.

Forgotten fact: Damara doesn't actually speak Japanese. She speaks whatever language all of the Beforian trolls speak, but with a ridiculously strong accent. The totally incomprehensible, broken Japanese was intended simply to indicate how hard it is for the others to understand her accent

Which of the trolls knew each other in person before the game session?
Vriska knew Equius
Aradia knew Sollux
Eridan knew Feferi
If you are counting Flarp then:
Vriska knew Eridan
Vriska, Terezi, Aradia, and Nepeta knew each other.
I’m sure I’m forgetting some but that’s all I can remember. Feel free to add any I missed.

Is it ever stated how Sollux flew the meteor from his session into the alpha kids session?

He and Aradia used psionics to launch the meteor with enough speed and momentum to keep it going for three years

Alternian and English aren't the same. Trolls may speak English (somehow), but not naturally. From p=006613, "DAVE: i cant even read your stupid troll language why would you think i can / KARKAT: I THINK YOU SHOULD RECONSIDER. I CAN TRANSLATE FOR YOU."
I think it’s the same language with a different alphabet.

For the language anon, I just assumed English ended up being based off of Alternian (phonetically) (since the trolls created the human universe) but because the trolls didn't go in we ended up with lots of other languages too, but the main four/eight still came from the 'Alternian' language group so they spoke the same language. As for text, I assume that's just Sollux's skills in making the computers translate or something.

Ok.. But I can't do the little mini game parts.. My computer broke a little after I got to openbound(that's the one with the post scratch trolls, right?) I was never able to finish it. I am now realizing how much I missed from it. Do you know any youtubers or something who recorded them playing it? Thank you<33

I’m sure if you google openbound playthrough you can find something. I know they’re out there.
Your welcome, and good luck again~

Is it ever stated how the trolls and kids cross the language gap? Like, is everyone speaking English, does the game do some kinda freaky translatey stuff or what

If it was some kinda freaky translatey thing then they would all be able to understand Damara.

Hey so I'm new to the whole HS thing sorry if this is the wrong place to go or anything. People on my dash got me hooked and now I'm recently caught up and everything but I can't help but feeling like I'm missing something. Like there are whole sections of the comic that I never read, people are sourcing things that I've never seen. Where would you go to figure all these things out?
One, I’d make sure that you read the entire comic. You may have skipped a part.
Two, you could have forgotten. A lot of these facts are really tiny things thus why they are forgotten.
Or Three, check out the mspa wiki for some brief summaries of characters and such.
Other than that I’m not sure what you’d want to look for.
Good luck in your search.

EDIT: You could also check Hussie’s tumblr and old formspring posts if you can find them. They tend to have a bit of extra info in them.
