A new viewpoint on antlers reveals the evolutionary history of deer (Cervidae, Mammalia)
fullview recommended!
something i've wanted to do for a while now. i've scoured the internet for something like this and can't find anything that compares all the different types of antlers together. except one recent study on their evolution, which is also very interesting on its own! i simplified it to provide a visual reference, while still trying to be scientifically accurate. some things differ between this and trophy scoring terminology like where the beam is and whatnot, so if something looks weird that's why.
small additional note, this study and others provide a lot of evidence that eld's deer should be in their own genus as it doesn't appear similar enough to barasingha and schomburgk's deer. however this doesn't seem to be adapted anywhere yet, so they're still in Rucervus for this guide.

Itch.io Releases AI Disclosure Tag
Itch.io has their store edit pages to include an AI disclosure toggle, asking if your project contains the results of generative AI. Each option adds a tag to your project: "Yes" automatically assigns the AI-Generated tag, while "No" automatically assigns the No AI tag. Assets comprised of generative AI (even if modified afterwards) that are not tagged will no longer be eligible for indexing on their browse pages.
You can read more about this here.
This system should allow users to filter the tags that they don't want to see in their search options. If you have a project on Itch, I recommend checking your Edit pages and completing the AI Disclosure!

The noble Bus is a mode of transportation befitting the descendants of hunter-gatherers. Bus is a sort of urban beast that must be tracked, pursued, and taken, by force if necessary. It brooks no cowardice; by its own fortitude it engenders nobility in its hunters. Driving is faster, granted— but cold, solipsistic, enervating of body and spirit. The car is an apparatus of regression; the driver cocooned in womb-like solitude meets no hardship, no test of his mettle, and reacts to all discomfiture with the dyspeptic grumbling of an opium-eater prodded from his stupor. To travel and arrive by Bus requires resourcefulness, grit, alacrity, patience, and guile. The Bus-rider laughs at adversity and looks upon his fellow-passengers as brothers. What though the road construction waylay him? What though the rain wet his shoes? Shoes— pah! What cares he for such baubles? Not for him the base ignominy of "road-rage" hang on my stop's coming up I gotta finish this post

Favorite media genre by far has to be “no trust me, there’s nothing I can tell you or do to prepare you for what you are about to witness.”
