Friendly reminder that we are all fallible human beings. I had a lovely interaction with @midwestgamesco today and learned about the upcoming game @Hivejump so I decided to stream it as @TanookiZoot to show off my new OBS setup. Little did I know, my mic and lofi were both muted.

If anyone wants to view the game being played, preceded by three minutes of silence, and wishes to add their own commentary when my mouth is moving, feel free to check out the stream here: twitch.tv/videos/2232468084

Followup- I think the mic and music are better balanced. Plus, I successfully finished my first run of @Hivejump ! I'm really starting to see the appeal. Thanks again to @midwestgamesco for introducing the game to me! New @TanookiZoot stream is here- twitch.tv/videos/2233280041
