anyone know anything about homestuck

i just started reading homestuck and idk if i'm just stupid but it doesn't make sense like i feel like im misisng some context like why does the game affect the real world idk if i skimmed past something important or not and also the flash games arn't accesable to my knowledge so idk if that will take away from the story or not

sorry i swear i can spell im just too lazy to care
