It's amazing how much left and right wingers have in common. I dare say the two of you have more in common than any two other groups on the planet. You just can't keep yourselves from talking and acting exactly like each other, can you?

I'm trying to get as per the PDF here (https://bitbucket.org/newgrounds/newgrounds.io-for-unity-c/src/master/), however I'm getting an error in regards to some sort of a login call whenever I try running the game inside of unity. Is there a way for me to fix this or is this something that gets automatically fixed when you publish the game since it actually works in browser then?

My code at line 27 in the helper script is:

Based on the console log, I'd say it's because it can't find the ngio_core.sessionLoader component – which means you're trying to use it before it's "ready". You need to wrap the call in onReady as well, especially in Awake or Start functions triggered in the same scene as the core.

If I omit this step, I get the same exact error. Adding the onReady callback is the safest option (to some degree of success, you could also change core script's Start to Awake, or init everything in the main menu, pass it to the following scenes and only use it there).

By the way, you don't really need the checkLogin function on Newgrounds, but it helps
Otherwise, NG users are automatically logged in, and if you try to unlock a medal for somebody who's not logged in, it will fail, but won't crash the game or anything.
However, you can't use the ngio_core before it's ready, and wrapping it in the onReady callback makes sure you don't.

Does it help? If you'd like to, I can send you the full script.

I think it would also be cool to have a little game jam going alongside the animation jams sometimes (except of course for the regular events, e.g. Pixel Day). There's a lot of animation jams, and even if there were no prizes involved, it'd perhaps be interesting to officially encourage people to join in on the fun under the same hashtag.

For example, there were five muskjam artworks, no games, six audio works (some of which were used in the animations). Even if they weren't part of the judging / award process, it'd be fun to play a couple of Musk-themed games alongside the main attraction of the animations. If you don't think it'd draw people away from the animations themselves.

Speaking of badges, it'd perhaps be useful to give the winners a special trophy. E.g. if a new user sees the winning submission of Musk Jam, they'll only know it was "Daily 2nd Place" and "Frontpaged", whereas the most impressive feat of winning an animation jam isn't visible, unless they visit old forum posts or browse the history.
I don't know, something like:

Yesterday, I talked with someone who apparently can't run Ruffle on his computer. Is there an option somewhere to prioritise Newgrounds Player if you encounter problems?

Personally I like all three of these covers for The Hobbit:

(This last one is a Finnish edition illustrated by Tove Jansson, who created the Moomin series, fun fact)
While I'm not quite the world's largest fan of this book, I have to say the cover is absolutely slick:

And on the search for that last book I found this absolutely amazing one:

And the cover of Retromancer is really appealing to me, though I haven't read it and am honestly just a little hesitant after my last Robert Rankin book:
