Time for a pinned introduction. I'm Jacquelyn (she/her). My character is a 10 year old black-backed jackal who plays the bass, hence BassJackal. I play the bass IRL too.

I sometimes repost ABDL stuff, thoughts, and talk about games. I also stream, see my reply for details!

A reference sheet by Tato for Jacquelyn, a black-backed jackal. In the reference she's 8 years old (4' 0" tall). Several outfits are shown, as well as a pose where she's holding a 4 string bass guitar.

A grown-up ref sheet of Jacquelyn by SparksReactor. The age is omitted, but I figure she's mid 20s here. There's a couple outfit poses and a bass guitar as well. The sheet lists her at 5'2".

There's been a weird uptick of people making fake Star accounts, folk creating ai sexbots of Star, folk pretending to be Star on discord. Star is my fursona, shes really inportant to me, heck she is me in a lot of ways, so if you care in anyway about my art/comics could folk quit with that, thanks.

Even with a better understanding, it was tedious. But that's over with! I didn't experience the infamous portal lockup glitch.

Visually, The Swamp is one of my favorite zones, but it's overly large and the visuals didn't age well at all.

I'll keep pressing on to see if the game is beatable still!

Late night King's Quest posting, but I've been testing this out on a virtual machine. Dimension of Death is such a wall for players because it's large, long, and looks dull.

I wish I could tell late 90s me, "someday this will load in 10 seconds instead of literally 10 minutes" and see my reaction!

A particularly good pick since the one time I remember you pronouncing it, it was way off 😂

Open box. Transport diapers one bag at a time.

I imagine they were talking about the rest of the series which was point and click games? The classic Sierra kind where everything and anything hates you and can cause a game over.

Maybe KQ7 which has Archduke Fifi Le Yipyap?

Jacquelyn @bassjackal.bsky.social · 1d

King's Quest Mask of Eternity (also known as King's Quest 8). The one where they made it a very sluggish 3D ARPG with combat and everything.

Also load times from hell every time you have to switch zones.

Incidentally ... this cursed game is an option for Sierra Sundays in 2026 or 2027. If you know, you know ;)

Nothing screams "this game is old" like requiring a mouse for clicking, but having arrow key + home/insert/end/delete AND Tab/Shift/Ctrl/Alt keybinds. That's so incredibly awkward, I don't know how I ever thought this was "normal", but those were the pre-WASD days!

A menu for keyboard controls. Forward, Back, Right, and Left are bound to arrow keys. Walk/Run to End, Jump to Insert, Switch Weapon to Delete, Center Camera to Home, Open/Close Map to Tab, Modify Action to shift, Toggle Cursor to Ctrl, Put Away Weapon to Alt, and Open/Close Interface to Space Bar

I'm all for point buy! Rolling sucked so bad in AD&D when classes like Paladin had stat requirements including CHA 17. On a 3d6 or even a 4d6-drop-lowest that was brutal.

Jackals are "fox-like", so not sure if this would work. I think testing is required. Lots of testing. I volunteer in the name of science!

Jacquelyn @bassjackal.bsky.social · 2d

Yep, I make use of mute but that means some people I only remember to check out like... a few times a year.

Jacquelyn @bassjackal.bsky.social · 2d

It's Tuesday and on jackalstream we're continuing the third Blackwell game, Blackwell Convergence (2012). Spirit medium Rosangela Blackwell and her ghost partner Joey return and have to solve a case of spirit abuse! Point and click adventure game.

These look great! I don't think I could use shoes like this at work but outside of work..... hmm!

Jacquelyn @bassjackal.bsky.social · 2d

Similarly, a rattle or baby gym don't let me do much with them. I mean, a rattle could be an instrument or a prop (like a scepter!) but on its own, 0 enjoyment for me. Simple stimulation isn't enough for my hungry big kid brain :3

I wouldn't use the phrasing "too baby", but I need what I'm doing to interest me in some way. I can get things that might be tedious or grindy or kinda mindless but actual baby shows don't offer me what I need.

Like... Boohbah or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse just don't engage my kid side.

I'm not going to dissect the design but ya there were a couple things that felt uhhh babyish to me? But compared to other options, this is very much in the "middle" direction without looking medical.

It's still a diaper. It's still supposed to be a "fun" design. That's gonna limit things a bit.

You do not have to like something marketed at "middles" or else risk being a "fake".

You especially should know that these labels span a wide age range, and also that preferences vary!

They're not a perfect match for me, but I think I'm in the minority for being relatively happy with them.

It's Monday and on jackalstream we're keeping on that Engimatis train by starting the second game, The Mists of Ravenwood (2013). A detective and a young girl get trapped in a park full of illusions and must escape. It's a hidden object game: point and click plus Eye Spy!

I bought them and I'm definitely excited! But I also would love to have middle space diapers with just a fun landing zone + plain white shell.

I know we had all over prints before positional printing, but positional printing really feels like it pushed design into an era of cohesive but "busy/loud"

Jacquelyn @bassjackal.bsky.social · 3d

I already figured out what size I need and ordered, but I don't think I saw a size chart on that page?

"What if there were more doors " or "Imagine boobs"?
