Free to use (with credit Watcher) slugcat twitch emote!
It's a "lurk" emote but feel free to name it whatever. Rain World has become such a comfort game, especially lately, so I wanted to draw something to any other scug enthusiasts! #rainworld #watcher #rainworldwatcher

Thought this was a good free resource. Whether you are tracking your viewership stats or doing scientific analyses, good spreadsheet organization is really helpful!!
Helpful papers for trainees #3:
Data organization in spreadsheets
Reviews: consistency, columns vs rows, dates, informative names/labels, notes in separate columns, readme files, NO HIGHLIGHTING, etc.
