The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

    homestuck is a story presented through chat logs, flash animations and sometimes games. it's this huge narrative that took 7 years to wrap up, not including spinoffs and epilogues. if you'd really like, i can boil the quadrant system down to 4 basic categories:

    Show

    on the left, we have romance/passion. full-hearted feelings, on the right we have more mild emotions, hence why they are more pale. i'll list the gist of them below

    heart: basic romantic attraction
spade: hating someone so much you message them just to be mean and possibly try to kill them from time to time
diamond: basic friendship
clubs: hating someone but not enough to go one-on-one hatred. you basically get a third person to temper the hatred so you don't spill over into a more passionate rivalry

    i am so sorry

      Ok so I went back in since my post, there was quite a bit about fake arms, and an intricate inventory system, which is neat. I do like the adventure-gamey-ness of it, that's kinda unique.

      I found a link to the explanation in-media for the system, I saw the pic you posted there. This system has been living rent-free in my head since I first heard about it, tbh, lol, so nice to hear it's not just me... thanks for typing it out. Is it ... relevant to us? What are trolls?

      Incredible that I'm like 74 pages in and the bit I just read from is like page 2700 or something? wowee it's long

        i would recommend you download the unofficial homestuck collection if you wanna keep reading. the sound and most of the games are busted since flash player support was suspended. it also has every MSPA series as well as every soundtrack and supplementary creator journals and stuff

        you'll learn about trolls later, i don't want to spoil it
