Lobe finned versus ray finned fish

Short answer: ray finned fish evolved from from lobe finned fish

Long answer: Lobe finned fish were dominant for a long time in the waters before they climbed up onto land and evolved into you, dear reader. This occurred around 400 MYA (million years ago). Sometime before that, about 425 MYA, ray finned fishes had evolved, but remained relatively small. This was until the permian mass extinction (290-245 MYA), when many lobe finned fish died out, and ray finned fishes (teleosts) were left to flourish and evolve to fill the empty evolutionary niches. The only lobe finned fish left behind today are the elusive coelacanths and lungfish. ***AND*** as the awesome people in the notes would like me to add, all tetrapods (tetra meaning four, pod meaning foot) are phylogenetically lobe finned fishes as well. this means amphibians, reptiles, and mammals.

Since you guys liked the finished planted tank so much, have the tetra update!

A little bit of glass surfing is still happening but honestly was more because I was bugging them with my phone camera than anything. Most of today they were all over the place exploring~ also weird thing in the tank is a Banksia Seed Pod, threw it in for some extra tannins to help with any transition stress (natural antibacterial).

[mod2amaryllis]

what do you mean by black water? I'm Curious but I don't know fish things.

it's a style of aquarium where you add tannins to the water to get this tea coloration

tannins are released by wood and what's referred to as "botanicals," stuff you find in nature like seed pods, pine cones, leaves, basically organic matter that breaks down slowly in water. it's cool cuz the idea is that you're mimicking the natural environment of the fish, and it's really good for them! you can look up the benefits of adding tannins. i put leaf litter in my tanks, just not enough to make my water too dark. when i boil the leaves i even add some of the "tea" for an extra little boost.

visually it's just sooooo cool.... you can't go too crazy with plants since the light won't penetrate, but the botanicals plus just a few pops of green is gorgeous

neon tetras are considered ideal for black water because it's so close to their natural environment in the Amazon. they're happy in it, and in fact their bright colors are that way BECAUSE it shines so brightly through the tannins; in the wild it helps schools keep track of each other!

Finally finished the updated reference sheet for Gale's team (that I started back in... january). Click for better quality!

More about each team member below:

Monty:

Main gear: Tentaclinger Earring (not pictured), Urchins Jersey, Blue Slip-Ons

Favors mid-ranged slayer type weapons (sloshing machine, slosher, most blasters but especially range blaster) but is generally pretty flexible

There's a somewhat small independently published magazine in Splatsville about what's currently popular (fashion, weapons, splatfest speculation, etc). He writes articles for it, mostly noting what is currently popular, what that means for the direction of the meta, that kind of thing.

He's one of the founding members of Gale's current team. He likes to analyze how teams play and experiment with different team compositions and strategies. He tries his best to stay on top of what's new.

Outside of competitive stuff, he likes card games. He likes to collect stuff and is kind of a completionist.

Jessica:

Main gear: Retro BluFocals (not pictured), Patchwork Bomber, Mako Bucket Hi-Tops

Really enjoys backline, anchor type weapons. On her own she plays the Hydra, though she's skilled with most other splatlings. She also likes long range chargers (scoped E liter, splatterscope, snipewriter), and if you give her enough time to de-rust she's good with the jet squelcher.

She plays X rank in her free time, her peak power being in the 2600s, though she still has plenty to learn. A goal she sets for herself is to have more self discipline, since she occasionally feels herself get impatient and "one more set" or "one more match" when she probably shouldn't.

She and Monty are the founding members of Gale's current team. She'd known him from seeing him a lot in X rank, since they had similar powers at the time. They both share a similar philosophy regarding competitive play; not doing it for the glory of winning, but for self improvement and enjoyment.

Outside of competitive stuff, she likes to play video games. She's really into open world games. She also sometimes offers individual, one on one coaching for younger players.

Leela

Main gear: Cephalo Pods, Lime Ski Jacket, Gray Sea-Slug Hi-Tops

Likes weapons that skirmish a lot, and was a tetra dualies one-trick for a while. She doesn't mind playing support roles either, so she'll play the n-zap or splash o matic if the situation calls for it. She also likes the trislosher, but that's more for when she's playing soloqueue rather than on the team.

She's pretty new to competitive play. She met Jessica through X rank lobbies, where Jessica saw a lot of potential in her. Leela occasionally struggles with coordination-- she's very used to soloqueue, so she'll miss callouts and get caught off guard. As such, it's her main focus of improvement.

Outside of competitive stuff, she loves music. She almost always has earbuds in and is trying to discover new bands. She also plays the saxophone. She's optimistic, talkative, and can be stubborn to a fault.

Gale

Main gear: Knitted Hat (+ heart pin), Chili Octo Aloha, Violet Trainers

She's fairly flexible in what she can play, but she's strongest with shooters (her favorites being 52 gal and splattershot, sometimes splash o matic). If she can be aggressive with it, she'll play it.

She's the newest member on her team. She met Leela after regularly seeing her in anarchy lobbies, and Leela introduced her to the rest of the team. At first, Gale would fill in during scrims when one of the team members wasn't available, but when that team member had to leave, Gale took their place.

Gale hadn't played on a competitive team in a while, so they were a bit rusty. Monty recognized them from their previous team years ago, though he never mentioned it. He knew they had potential, though. They take their role on the team very seriously out of a desire to do better than last time.

Outside of competitive stuff, they like to cook. They're very social and dedicated to their work, but tends to hold themself to impossibly high standards.

Decided to go all out with another massive attack this year. I went around the artfight website and other online places I frequent to gather characters I thought looked neat. I hope the attack looks alright because my monitor has been compressing it when ever I try to look at it outside aseprite. Scale and size might be a bit awkward in the attack because I draw most sprites in 36x36, so I'm sorry if some details look a bit strange. It was an interesting and fun challenge to draw some characters that had so many small pieces that added a lot to their design. Below is a list of where the characters are all located on the mass attack. If I accidently missed you or made a credit mistake, feel free to reach out so I can fix it! I hope you all enjoy the attack as much as I had making it! Link to the attack! Ship Beam: Kailani (@something-paranormal), Nous (TheQueenOfSpades), K.E.R.F (Kerfus)

Major Takeaways I had from my first tournament

T’au are fighting an uphill battle right now. It’s sad, but true that right now we don’t have much that hits hard and we don’t have much staying power

1st turn is REALLY important for how we play. Since Kauyon doesn’t kick in till turn 3, the difference between 2 and 3 rounds of getting shot at is significant when it comes to your Kauyon Output. Plan accordingly to hide if you get 2nd turn

Strategic Reserves are your friends. Especially when fighting Space Marines, you need to keep your big targets off the table at the start of the game. My Stormsurge was Oath of Moment’d in 2 of my 3 games before it could get a single round of shooting off. If you’re playing a big crisis bomb or Stormsurge you need to keep it in reserves until you know you can shoot with it

Ghostkeel and Piranhas are our MVPs. I’m not including Tetras here because they’re Forgewold and hard to get, but these two did WORK. The durability of the Ghostkeel on my Home Objective is what made me present a challenge at all to my opponents, and the two Seeker Missiles on each Piranha plus the drone harassment are crucial to hurting enemy vehicles and knocking opponents off of objectives for secondaries

Ethereals are worth it for the CP alone. I had two Ethereals, one leading a strike team, the other alone, and the extra CP generation gave me some much needed flexibility. It allowed me to use great stratagems like Tank Shock and Grenades that I otherwise wouldn’t have the CP for. Plus if you put a gun drone on them, they act as a pretty good action monkey once you bring them in from Strategic reserves

STEALTH SUITS. Between the rerolls of 1s to wound for guided units, to Infiltrating with Stealth, to bring a cheap source Markerlights guiding, to the FREE once per game Rapid Ingress, this is a must have unit. I ran 3 minimum strength units and will likely be doing so indefinitely

Our enhancements are great! I used Exemplar of the Kauyon, Puretide Engram Neurochip (PEN for short) and Through Unity, Devastation and all of them came in clutch at different points of my games. In particular, the PEN was fantastic as it allowed me to Rapid Ingress 2 Crisis Bombs (for FREE with the Stealth suits) on my opponent’s turn two when I went second and it gave me the possibility to Overwatch a second time as well

It’s still possible to have fun in 10th. I lost 2/3 games, but my second loss went 54-56 and was one of the best 40K games I’ve ever played. Play your best, aim to have fun and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t do well. We got this, Shas’os!

For my personal list, I’m likely going to revise the armament of my second crisis team to have Fusion Blasters and Missile Pods as the Burst Cannons and Flamers are just useless against anything T5 or higher and might swap out the Coldstar commander for a Crisis Commander as the reroll 1s might be worth the lost movement and assault if I’m Rapid Ingressing the unit anyways

tetra i need to ask and im asking thru here in case this helps anyone else: do you listen to any arsenal podcasts ?? ive had aftv recommended to me but i wonder if theres anything else out there thats worth listening to

i am so honored u came to me but i am NOT a huge podcast listener so I can really only give you one! I have become a recent fairly regularly listener to a handful of the suite of footie podcasts from The Athletic which includes the Arsenal podcast Handbrake Off. The episodes are reasonably short (30-45 minutes usually), which I like. It's chatty between Ian Stone (comedian), Amy Lawrence, and Adrian Clarke (ex-footballer who came through the Arsenal academy in the 90s), and I think also Art de Roche occasionally. I just read Invincible by Amy Lawrence about the 03-04 season and she's got a really, really lovely way of speaking about the team and the game, so I especially like hearing from her. They have like a neat little...gimmicky structure that I sort of enjoy by starting with kind of a silly icebreaker -> 2 segments of footie talk -> ending with a "representative" song from each of them. I wouldn't say it's the greatest podcast of all time, but it sort of hits on what I want (different-ish perspectives, knowledgeable, fannish but not crazy, fairly reasonable). so hopefully that's a little useful to u?

I've been recommended Arseblog Arsecast by @longeyelashedtragedy but the episodes are way too long for me (1-1.5hrs), so I haven't actually listened....if anyone else has any comments on which pods they like and why, please weigh in!!!!

🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊 for any character/s you feel like talking about (@likemesomesalads)

OHOHOHOH okay!! i'll give one for each. or i'll try. i don't have too many guys entirely fleshed out yet.

🖊 MARWYD -- has some weird insecurities about the whole scarlet briar thing. they're both really similar. both sylvari. both engineers. both prodigies in a way. yet only one thing really decided their fate was different and it was that damned machine. a part of him feels a little guilty for being able to walk out of it okay.

🖊 TIYRNAN -- his favorite thing to sing is lullabies. they fit his voice the best. he likes old folk ones the most, that seem to be lost with time, and who's meaning has been completely lost. sometimes when alone in the woods, you can hear a distant hum of an orrian lullaby.

🖊 GYAEL -- makes marwyd's clothes! all of them! he's made numerous on commission for him because marwyd keeps FUCKING RUINING THEM. luckily he doesn't have much to do when it comes to being his apprentice. sometimes he jokes that he's marwyd's tailor first and the apprentice second. he. may be a LITTLE insecure about that. maybe.

🖊 AIYNDREAS -- he wishes he was marwyd so bad. he looks up to him every other day. someone with a spine. someone with a bullheaded personality. someone who could toss people to the side with ease. he wishes he could be mean, but, he's far too small, far too nervous, and far too... unimportant, he realizes.

🖊 LONG XUE -- long makes carvings of soo-won out of thicker tree branches. he's very passionate about it. however-- he never keeps the carvings. he instead returns them to echovald forest and allows nature to grow around them. it's what she would want.

🖊 TU YING -- where did he get the glasses? i dunno. it's a mystery to even the speakers he works with. some of them say he popped out the POD with those things on. he BARELY EVER takes them off. apparently tetra knows where the hell they come from, but it's almost entertaining to keep it as a mystery. tu ying plays along with this.

my new aquarium :3 I'm gonna get some fish soon

the first pic is when I first planted two weeks ago. second I took just a bit ago. the brazilian pennywort (tall plants in the back in first pic) died back pretty aggressively but there is some new growth on them! I'm just letting them float for now until they get their shit together tho lol. added some botanicals (all various pods so far) and have more I will add in like a week. planning on going to get another plant because the rock in the front is an easy planter I haven't used yet. will inevitably move the wood and rock around.

anyway, I'm excited and wanted to show off! I'm planning on getting a betta, 6 ember tetra, 6 pygmy cory catfish, and a nerite snail :3
