Minor Patch v1.0.102.3

Another patch is live! Thank you to our beta branch players for helping us test these changes :)

IMPORTANT FIXES

• We fixed the cursed issue with the blue pufferfish. You can kill blue pufferfish to your heart's content.
• We updated our audio plugins to hopefully fix an issue where some users had no audio whatsoever.
• We've gotten many reports of the game failing to save progress, but are still unable to reproduce the issue -- so now after you save, the game will check whether the save worked. If it didn't, it will display an angry message and boot you back to the Title screen. PLEASE show us if you encounter this and send us your log file. - Instructions for how to do so are in the FAQ channel in discord.
• We have a possible fix to the issue where the game would give you Umami Crystals for free upon reloading the game. Let us know whether you're still experiencing this or not.
• Added an option for "FPS Limit" in the settings for users reporting high GPU usage
