It's a Tuesday and on jackalstream we're continuing The Longest Journey (2000), a solid point and click adventure with voice acting. April is stranded in a fantasy world and must find her way back to future-tech Stark. www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

Ah I see Rue Valley is out. Probably not the sort of game to do on jackalstream gameplay-wise, sounds VERY text heavy. If I do, I'd have to fit it somewhere in the schedule... maybe I could find an opening somewhere in 2027?

I woke up once in the middle of the night but got back to sleep. That's two days of 6 hours of sleep. Is my insomnia receding? Maybe. By Ace Attorney "once is a coincidence, twice is a pattern" logic though, yeaaaa I'm cured!

Ah yes, the two genders (and cultivars of apple); Paw Patrol and Bluey.

It's Monday and on jackalstream we're resuming The Room Three. We didn't get far last time, but more intricate puzzles as we try to escape imprisonment by the mysterious Craftsman. www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

Probably gonna be a bit late to start jackalstream tonight - had to run out for ingredients real quick!

Doing a 5GB encode three times in one night was not great. But at least that's over with!

It's Sunday and on jackalstream we're starting The Longest Journey (2000), a solid point and click adventure with voice acting. April Ryan finds herself protecting The Balance between the twin worlds of science-based Stark and magic-based Arcadia. www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

It's Saturday and on jackalstream we're finishing up Goosebumps: The Game by facing down Slappy at the local shopping mall. After that we'll be trying something a bit more visual novel-y by starting Until Then (2024). I hope it's not a feels trip... www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

Seems @peacemaker9669.bsky.social karaoke nights might just be a Friday night thing? Glad my voice doesn't show up in his VoDs though, I was struggling particularly spectacularly last night eheh. Was fun seeing @nswitchplayer.bsky.social, @ryuuthetiger.bsky.social, and @nikdragon4.bsky.social too!

First, forgive the color, camera sucks. It's closer to Baja Blast color IRL. Whipped cream is nice, filling nails the Baja Blast taste. It's not sour as much as pretending to be sour? The crust was passable but not nice, a proper graham cracker crust would've really elevated this pie.

Thursday collab with Leif on jackalstream! Finishing the main story in the RPG "Secrets of Grindea" (2024). It's a blind playthrough for me, but not for Leif. Also I have forgotten how to play and we were in the middle of a boss rush so this might get ugly! www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

Welp, mistakes were made.

Q: Hey hey, Jacquelyn, did you know Syberia Remastered just released? Yes! No need to keep telling me, I'm aware. It's been on my wishlist. This is nice - this means people can play the game without compatibility settings or running the Mac version on Windows! It was a pain to play the originals.

It's okay, money company, I'm not a grown-up.

The worst part of this insomnia is of course how hard it is to function on so little sleep. But the hardest part is the isolation. I get up and most people have gone to bed; once I catch up on my feeds nothing new will happen for hours. By the time other people are online I've been up 5-8 hours.

It's a Tuesday and it's a weird one on jackalstream with two blind playthroughs. Point-and-click rhyming adventure set in Norway, Milkmaid of the Milky Way (2017) and then if there's time, more of the FMV murder mystery Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? (2022). www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

For each kink you hate, I guarantee you have at least one friend who is secretly into it -Each time you are aggressive about that kink, that friend is scared you will subject them to violent emotional abuse and abandonment -you can forever improve that friendship by being a bit nicer about kink art✨

It's Monday and on jackalstream we're in the last act of Grim Fandango - it's time to return to El Marrow and set things right in the Land of the Dead. Afterwards we'll check out the demo for a puzzle game that's still in development, The Next Stop. www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

It do be like that

behold: ace attorney the 4kids dub version

Nngh. I wish I could just forget a series of events from years ago because I'm not raw about it anymore and not gonna air dirty laundry but... I sure did lose a bunch of money to an artist and never got closure. They retired and also got brutally canceled, which sucked for them.

🐶making a picture for my friend cooper with crayons and i promise i didn't eat any of them yet🐶 - Adorable art by Pastelberry on Furaffinity ^^ #kidfur

It's Sunday and on jackalstream we're continuing Grim Fandango, a point-and-click adventure. Manny's on the trail of a kidnapped woman, and must cross the sea by doing some crimes to work on a boat. Film noir / Casablanaca vibes to start with, as we try and leave Rubacava! www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

Hahhhhh watching some VRChat footage of myself, working with controller hand tracking is just like fursuiting, I have to remember to make exaggerated motions and keep my arms/hands further out from my actual body or it looks weird.

I was getting several 2-5 second stutters, not even the usual microstuttering when playing Fortnite Festival this morning. It was... very unpleasant. I hope the solution is just to dump the cache/redo shaders because otherwise that level of stuttering is gonna really put me off playing for a while.

It's Saturday and since Day of the Dead is this week, on jackalstream we're playing Grim Fandango (1998/2015). We're doing the remastered version, trying to look a bit nicer plus have point-and-click instead of being stuck on tank controls! www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

Had a lot of fun tonight doing some karaoke with @peacemaker9669.bsky.social and @kurtiswulfgar.bsky.social! I'll definitely have to join another one of these sometime when I'm less eepy!

Got this cute bat from @kiddlit.bsky.social the other day, and now it's just hanging out. If you haven't checked out his shop ko-fi.com/cryptidshado... you totally should, he's got lots of neat stuff for sale!

Trick or Tr(eat)! The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats' Happy Halloween.🐺🐐🎃

Hmmm which to wear? For claire on kofi!

It's Tuesday and on jackalstream for the first 30 minutes we'll wrap up The Dig. After that we'll start the Goosebumps: The Game (2015), which was a tie-in to the movie from that year. Tons of Goosebumps references and maybe a few scares! Point and click adventure. www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

Two Point Museum: Zooseum? How much do I want to get my hopes up that, "maybe this will be the video game animal content that actually has black-backed jackals in it?" Nah... I'm sure it won't. Not sure why jackjacks are such an unpopular species!

It's Monday and on jackalstream we're continuing to solve delightfully intricate puzzles with a otherworldly vibe by starting the Room 2 (2013). Trapped in a Null-dimension and on the trail of our mentor, the mysterious A.S, can we find out what happened to them? www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

Unaccompanied adults will be made into accompanied children.

It's Sunday and on jackalstream we're going for that 90s nostalgia with Goosebumps: Escape to Horrorland (1996). Three kids find themselves back at the monster-themed-and-or-staffed Horrorland. Can they find their parents and escape? Point and click FMV-era adventure game. www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

I'm going to add to this, as a former food bank manager, Cash is king, while gifts of food are highly appreciated, Money in the hands of a food bank goes MUCH further, they have access to networks that can buy goods at significantly lower prices.

It's Saturday and on jackalstream we're doing a blind-ish playthrough of Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of Orpheo's Curse (1994). FMV-era point and click game. Two kids sneak into a haunted theater, and must lift a magician's curse or disappear! www.twitch.tv/BassJackal

He won't leave me alone I DON'T HAVE CANDY!!!!!

I don’t get SNAP because we make too much money even though we r still in poverty. When we went to the local food bank they gave us 20+ lbs of cole slaw and lettuce. And after that we still needed food for our pets

ragdoll kitties are not really known for their athleticism.... and Miya is no exception, much to her dismay 🐱

Last post for the night. Played Little Miss Can't Be Wrong (which is by Rock Band 4's standards a challenging bass song) and ow my hands, but then I played another 2 hours. Also felt nice to know I haven't totally lost my touch. When I tried this in Rock Band I barely managed 4 stars. Demoralizing.

Ugh. I really phoned it in this season. I should probably stop with the whole Fortnite Crew thing.

It sure was a hassle getting Clone Hero + a Xbox PDP Riffmaster to work together. Some of that's a new Microsoft-related issue, but if Microsoft didn't lock down Xbox peripherals so much in the first place, none of this would even be needed so it's kinda all an MS issue ;)

You ever have one of those dreams where you just are suddenly peeing but are wearing Goodnites, and are casually explaining to someone that you're focusing so you don't pee too fast or you'll overwhelm said Goodnites? I sure did. Wasn't padded up IRL but thankfully also wasn't peeing IRL.

It's Tuesday and on jackalstream we're doing a sci-fi ghosty point and click, a real LucasArts classic, The Dig (1995)! Commander Low and crew end up on an abandoned alien planet, haunted by the occasional ghost trying to tell them something. Let's get them back to Earth! www.twitch.tv/BassJackal
