Thanks everyone for joining!

Made some more progress in Big Hops, taking it to the Bone Zone and learning how to swim through the mines in zero gravity! Monster Plush of the Week Frog Detective reasons there isn't too much more left in the game

Catch you next time, maybe for the finale!

Time again for a tongue-filled Terrific! Tuesday stream!

We made it to the final (?) area of Big Hops, a menacing mine on an unmerciful mountainside. Come join as we explore places no frog should go and lick things no tongue should touch!

My grandma Rose's birth name was Julia, which she did not want on her tombstone
Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.

Club Soko among many other rad games is in the #FlashGamesVibes Steam Fest until February 10th!

I’m stoked about this event because the game art and tone was partly made as a nod to my roots as a game dev coming up in the late Flash game era. 🖤

Before the charity stream began, content creators from @minnmax.com and @giantbomb.bsky.social weren't sure what number to aim for — maybe $30,000 or $50,000.

Within 15 minutes, they raised $58,000 for local food pantry VEAP. Within an hour, $100,000.

from experience, the vast majority of people, outside of comparison, don't notice something is running at only 30 fps

similarly, the vast majority of people don't notice something displays at only 1080p, maybe even 720p

unless primed to look for something wrong, low fidelity is not a deal breaker
i genuinely think that perception of framerates ~40fps and up is extremely uneven in the population. i can tell the difference between 60 and 120 but i can't tell the difference between 120 and 144. most people i know can't tell the difference between 60 and 120 and some between 30 and 60

having the player be terrible at Resident Evil is a very funny solution to not wanting to show gore on the Nintendo Partner Direct
