OLM!!! watch out for the audio peeking in this one- my first-time using audacity for the voice lines (because. because cave echo is fun). I SWEAR I will have the sound clipping taken care of by next episode :^) donut worry

ALSO what are your thoughts on the sound effects for when images and videos are displayed on screen? Too intrusive or A-O-K? I think it's all good

ALSO ALSO also also hey. hey how's about joining the community discord? We have calls every tuesday :^)
