Hi! I'm Jake! I don't like Twitter, and I don't like YOU. Tra La Laa!

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

Hi. I still exist. You can listen to my voice if you don't believe me.

*Is it true that X-Formerly-Twitter has some stupid policy about sharing links to other social media sites, or is that just one of the many conspiracy theories allowed to flourish here?

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

So long, X-Formerly-Twitter!

Now that the other Twitter-but-not* is finally allowing anyone to create a profile without an invitation, I'm struggling to find a reason to keep coming here.

I'm AtSymbolJake over there. Same profile picture.

By the way, this is the THIRD time I've needed to postpone my Frogger sequels stream. Maybe fourth?

You'd think a Frogger curse would involve more alligators and speeding cars, but missing the point is what late-era Frogger is all about.

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

Short version: No stream tomorrow.

Long version: I started a new prescription brain pill this morning. My psychiatrist told me it's very similar to two other medications that I absolutely could not handle...

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

Am I already feeling side effects, or is my anxiety disorder just playing a funny prank? It's only been a few hours, and the pill is the smallest dose I've ever taken of anything, so it's a little early to jump to conclusions.

Whatever the cause, I do not need an audience.

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

We're live with what is perhaps 1999's most overlooked classic, Outcast!

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

(That sentence might be missing a word or two.)

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

Q: Is my whole streaming setup falling apart before my very eyes?
A: Duh!

Fortunately, I discovered the problem a couple hours in advance. With 45 minutes to go, however, I still don't have a solution.

Might be a little late. Might not.

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

Blechh. Stressful, I think this is gonna work. And then I get to play Outcast, and you get to join me, so it's ultimately going to be a good day. This game rules.

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

Feelin' kinda crummy today. Moving the previously scheduled Outcast 1.1 stream to tomorrow. See you then!

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

Live!

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

We're chillin' and illin' in one hour.

Happy Frozen Food Day!

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

I announced this stream before I knew what it was going to be. I was sure I'd have to cheat.

Like, maybe farming and fishing games? Or the game based on John Carpenter's The Thing, because the alien eats people in Antarctica?

But no. I took the premise seriously.

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

Tomorrow!

Join me at https://t.co/mETGYgwM8U for a Frozen Food Day celebration!

This is a real thing that I'm doing. I have put so many hours into finding games that are directly connected to frozen food.

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

Just got off the phone.

No stream this week. We'll Frog another time. How long until the next Leap Day?

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

Reminder: No stream today.

We called an A/C repair company yesterday. They're supposed to call us back today. It's noon, and I still haven't heard anything.

I'm sure this will be a quick, inexpensive fix, though. Businesses care more about people than profit, right?

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

It's February in Texas, and you know what that means! The temperature inside my house is currently 83℉.

My computer is freaking out, so I'm going to shut it down until the air conditioner agrees to cooperate. I'm also moving the Frogger stream back to actual Leap Day.

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

(Well, tentatively. Assuming this is a problem that can be resolved in a day, we'll be Frogging on Thursday. And if it's not, I guess I'll melt, evaporate, and eventually rain into a different kind of stream. You guys, it's so hot. Texas is stupid. I hate it.)

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

I'm streaming these Froggers and more tomorrow at noon, Central Time. (With a new stream in that time slot every week! I still haven't quite worked out what I'll be playing to celebrate National Frozen Food Day, but we'll find out soon.)

One-two Froggers pose before you.

You are driving on a busy road and can't slow down. You are on a collision course to hit one Frogger, but there is no way you can hit both.

What do you do?

[Hippy Hippy Jake @AtSymbolJake]

Who lives to see the other side of the road?
