This might sound weird but I only read PS a month ago and I have a pseudo-nostalgic feeling for it? Wtf? I don't know if it's the no S pages or almost no color, but does anybody else feel that way? ;_;

I only read it some months ago so I can't really call myself nostalgic. But it does feel a little nostalgic even for a new reader, because it's so obviously his previous experiment. No music, no flash animations, no crazy use of html, no dialogues, barely any description. Yet it's still cool.

I think that nostalgic feeling comes from PS being incredibly reminiscent of early HS, especially mechanically. That and the fact that it's based on old detective noir films, which themselves carry a sense of nostalgia totally unrelated to MSPA.

I think a lot of Homestuck fans that were serial Problem Sleuth readers will remain nostalgic for it.
Hussie kept the feeling alive by giving us the exiles (and by extension, carapaces) and their silly antics, keeping what-pumpkins being a thing, and having Jane be an avid Problem Sleuth 2 fan.
Heck, one of the final songs on Volume 10 is a Problem Sleuth song.

Heck, one of the final songs on Volume 10 is a Problem Sleuth song. I don't really think exile antics were really that Problem Sleuth-like. People call Homestuck a puzzle, but Problem Sleuth is even more so. The entire story was made up of puzzles all coming together to solve even bigger puzzles. Exile antics are just random, play arround with what's there type things, more reminiscent of Jailbreak. Even the intermission, with its numerous Problem Sleuth references, is more oriented toward moving the story forward through random-ish events than it is actually puzzle solving. The references might be there but it doesn't really capture the feel. Furthermore "what pumpkin?" is a Jailbreak thing, not a Problem Sleuth thing. Problem Sleuth kept it alive in the same way Homestuck did.

Yes, the exiles didn't have as big puzzles to solve as the detectives. There were the antics around delivering and sending items through the appearifiers at one point, but after WQ arrived, that didn't come back.
I suppose a lot of Weird Puzzle Shit à la Problem Sleuth must've gone on behind the scenes during the A2 session, for the trolls to advance in their quests. At least, if the puzzles we saw Karkat and Tavros busy with are any indication.
