We are doing the Splash Zone marathon this weekend! Raising money for my flooded house. Stop on by! twitch.tv/smight - Starting NOW! with Drain Sim, and here's the rest of the schedule! Also, new stuff in the Tantrum store! They're generously helping me this weekend with a larger cut. Thanks !
Doing some fun stuff this weekend to fundraise for not fun stuff! Basement flooded, so that's the theme. Saturday, my brother and his kids are going to use donations as a good reason to throw water balloons at me while I try to play Mario brothers Sunday, we have many arcade pits!
In the opposite direction of jumbo snails, meet some of the micromollusks that you might need microscopes for! Snails like 'Angustopila psammion' (0.5mm in height) and 'Acmella nana' are so small that five of them could fit inside a grain of sand. That's 1/50th the size of a common garden snail.
Triton's Trumpet is an enormous sea snail that gets as big as two heckin' feet. They're one of the few creatures that, somehow, enjoy eating crown-of-thorns starfish, despite the venomous spines all over its upper body. This starfish can overpopulate, leading to Triton's Trumpet being protected.
The Giant African Land Snail is the largest on land, sometimes as big as 15 inches. The novelty of huge, cute snail made it popular for a pet. But unfortunately, it has become an invasive species as it can carry health risks to humans and plants. Alas, enormous snail.
The older ducks have been influenced by this honking lunatic to be terrified of everything. The ducklings don't care about that and are happy to see me; we raised them separately because these nimrods kept running them over and chasing them around. Her name is five-alarm chili.
Sunday snail time: The candy cane snail has white shell with various spiraling stripes of colors. It lives in the Caribbean, hanging out in trees most of their lives.
🐌 The endangered Volcano Snail lives in the boiling hydrothermal vents as deep as 9500 feet. They don't mind the sulfur or CO₂ (they eat it), or that the vents exceed 600°F Also known as the Scaly-foot Gastropod or the Ironborn, because their feet are covered in metal armor they grew themselves 🦾
Going to have a box art battle game eventually on my app as well; gonna filter out movie poster / asset flips sort of box art. Debating allowing sports but how can I deny this one
My currently untitled game ranker (combination of scrandle, Tee-KO and other concepts) needs a name and more work before i let it loose to the public! Throw em at me if ya got a good one. I just want something fun, fairly unique, SEO. Playing with it on stream!
The totals are in! Thanks for a great marathon, everybody! Nice work @tietuesday.bsky.social and team in all the organizing and great events. See you next year!
Snail teeth are very tiny and arranged on a ribbon-like tongue called radula. They can thousands or even tens of thousands of them! Their jaw cuts bigger food up and then they scrape it against this murderous-looking wheel of sharp bits to eat. And snails do eat just about anything they feel like.
We have these goofball runner ducks. Some new ones just got born. Their likes include being soaking wet, the mirror, and yelling at me.
Some snails have eyes at the bottom of their tentacles like Leptopoma nitidum, the blushing snail 🐌 they still use their eyeless tentacles for sensing humidity, smells, and temperature. I hope this snail Sunday fact finds you well.
Helping my mom move, this VCR has been attached to her desk for so long it has been joined in some sort of unholy matrimony
Only 12 games left out of the 250 I have started in the damage shuffler. People keep adding more (very grateful !) but I am keeping pace. Maybe we'll finish tonight? twitch.tv/Smight
There was a time about 20 years ago where lying, annoying and sometimes dangerous ads like this were only seen much on seedy third-party sites & random blogs, instead of being featured at the top of YouTube app with priority as common practice. The intolerance for this sort of manipulation has gone.
Now that all my stretch goals got hit, the big giant 210+ game shuffler is gonna allow people to reset cleared games at random with tips. I've cleared 110 games so far, and here's what the wheel currently looks like...!
