Love Budgett's frogs. In every stage of their life they just look like that

I have never seen a Kickstarter for something completely new I've been THIS on board with, this one's gotta make it 🙏 www.kickstarter.com/projects/inw...

In Waves: A Man Turns Into A Crab

We've written a feature-film about a woman who must learn to let go after her husband turns into a crab.

Crumb herself is fine and her current round of spiderlings are still in her nest. She's gotten thin from not leaving them like the first time, but besides that seems perfectly fine. I've been watching her close, I was actually more worried about her than Plum with how much he was thriving.

I've accepted that this is an unfortunate reality of trying to raise these guys, they're tiny, fragile, and unpredictable that's why they have hundreds of offspring at a time; but I'd grown really attached to Plum and I just can't believe this happened. I really thought he'd make it.

He was nowhere near any water droplets, he wasn't crushed, the room temperature hadn't changed, and he was well fed. I looked him and his enclosure over every way I could to see what the hell happened and nothing was out of the ordinary. It didn't seem like a molting mishap either.

Sad update on the jumping spiders, the spiderling I'd kept from Crumb's first round of babies, Plum, unfortunately passed away.

I have no clue what happened to him. He was eating and drinking normally, still had plenty of energy, looked healthy in every regard just hours ago before I went to sleep.

Always kind of a weird time of year for me. I love the fall season, I love Halloween, but I'm one of those people who actively dreads their birthday and that's smack dab in the middle of October. Always a bit of a buzzkill, that.

Just finished up, made some good progress! Stubbornly stuck to my guns and managed to finally cheese out a win in the flying type gym.

Cut things a tad short just because I've been feeling a bit light headed since I woke up, hoping to make up for that with some more Emeral Seaglass this week 👍

We're back for some more Pokémon Emerald Seaglass!

We've had team shake ups, a shiny, & a nightmare scenario with a nearly un-killable Porygon; needless to say this has been a pretty eventful run through Hoenn. Excited to see where we end up tonight, stay tuned!

Didn't get a whole lot of sleep today and likely just going to fly solo tonight, but I'm going to be trying really hard this week to keep some momentum with my streams. Starting to actually feel like I can shake this weird, inactive antisocial rut I've been in, just gotta keep with it

Scary Draconic Bastard 🎃 @deshex.bsky.social · 6d

Oh thank you! I really enjoyed the hack, super cool seeing what can be done to a game's atmosphere like that and I dig the graphical effects a lot. Great stuff, happy I gave it a go!

And just for fun: here's the promo graphic I put together for Sonic is Alone before all the filtering and editing. Put a couple details in there that got kinda lost and obscured in the edits.

Just finished up, that was a lot of fun! Both rom hacks were actually really great, the Sonic Adventure stuff was fun, really just a good time all around. Thanks for tuning in!

Both Sonic is Alone and Sonic Halloween are great rom hacks, was really pleasantly surprised by those!

Moving on to the last stop of the night: Sonic Adventure. Got the Halloween DLC from the Dreamcast and then some other fun mods for the season I put in for some extra fun

And I did check: yes, this is real and has been documented well before "generated content" became a thing. I was pretty skeptical at first.

CW: Spider

Fun fact I learned that genuinely doesn't seem real: Camel Spiders can make squeaking noises when they're threatened. It's called "stridulating"

I'm an insect/arachnid weirdo and never knew this until today. Weird. Cool! But weird.
