First Animal species of the day (491) :
Mexican beaded lizard / (Heloderma horridum)

The Mexican beaded lizard (Heloderma horridum) or beaded lizard is a species of lizard in the family Helodermatidae, one of the two species of venomous beaded lizards found principally in Mexico and southern Guatemala. It and the other members of the same genus, including the Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum), are the only lizards known to have evolved an overt venom delivery system. The Mexican beaded lizard is larger than the Gila monster, with duller coloration, black with yellowish bands. As it is a specialized predator that feeds primarily upon eggs, the primary use of its venom is still a source of debate among scientists. This venom has been found to contain several enzymes useful for manufacturing drugs in the treatment of diabetes, and research on the pharmacological use of its venom is ongoing.

Threatened throughout its range by overcollection and habitat loss, it is a CITES protected species. The Guatemalan beaded lizard (H. charlesbogerti) is one of the rarest lizards in the world, with a wild population of fewer than 200.

Description

Adult beaded lizards range from 57 to 91 cm (22 to 36 in) in length. They are substantially larger than the Gila monster, which only reaches lengths of 30 to 56 cm (12 to 22 in). The snout-to-vent length of a beaded lizard averages 33 to 48 cm (13 to 19 in). The average body mass of an adult beaded lizard is 800 g (1.8 lb), about 45% heavier than the average mass of a Gila monster, with large specimens exceeding 2,000 g (4.4 lb). Maximum weight known is 4,000 g (8.8 lb)[9][10] Although males are slightly larger than females, the beaded lizards are not sexually dimorphic. Both males and females are stocky with broad heads, although the males' heads tend to be broader.[11] The beaded lizards' scales are small, beadlike, and not overlapping. Except for the underside, the majority of its scales are underlaid with bony osteoderms.[11]

Their base color is black and marked with varying amounts of yellow spots or bands. The beaded lizards have short tails, which are used to store fat so they can survive during months of estivation. Unlike many other lizards, this tail does not regenerate if broken. Beaded lizards have forked, pink tongues that they use to smell, with the help of a Jacobson's organ; they stick their tongues out to gather scents and touch them to the opening of the organ when the tongue is retracted.[5]

Habitat and range
Beaded lizards are found in the Pacific drainages from southern Sonora to southwestern Guatemala and two Atlantic drainages, from central Chiapas to southeastern Guatemala.[11] Their habitats are primarily in the desert, tropical deciduous forests, and thorn scrub forests, but are found in pine-oak forests, with elevations from sea level to 1500 m. In the wild, the lizards are only active from April to mid-November, spending about an hour per day above the ground.[12]

The Mexican beaded lizard H. horridum is found in Mexico, from Sonora to Oaxaca. The Rio Fuerte beaded lizard (H. exasperatum) is found from southern Sonora to northern Sinaloa. The Chiapan beaded lizard (H. alvarezi) is found in northern Chiapas and the depression of the Río Lagartero in Huehuetenango to northwestern Guatemala.[12] The ranges of these three species overlap, making them sympatric.[13] The Guatemalan beaded lizard (H. charlesbogerti) is the only allopatric one, separated from the nearest population (H. alvarezi) by 250 km of unsuitable habitat.[13] The Guatemalan beaded lizard is the most endangered of the species, if not of all lizards; it is found only in the dry valley of the Río Motagua in northeastern Guatemala; fewer than 200 are believed to exist in the wild.[12]

Ecology
Diet

The beaded lizard is a specialized vertebrate nest predator, feeding primarily on bird and reptile eggs. A semiarboreal species, it is found climbing deciduous trees in search of prey when encountered above ground.[14] It occasionally preys upon small birds, mammals, frogs, lizards, and insects. Steve Angeli and Robert Applegate, noted captive breeders of the beaded lizard, have remarked that captive specimens do best on a diet of small vertebrates such as mice and rats. Confiscated wild-caught specimens can be made to feed by using egg on the prey item.[11][15]

Venom
The venom glands of the beaded lizard are modified salivary glands located in the reptile's lower jaw. Each gland has a separate duct leading to the base of its grooved teeth. When biting, the beaded lizard hangs on its victim and chews to get its venomous saliva into the wound. Although its jaw grip is strong, its unsocketed teeth are easily broken off at their bases. The beaded lizard's venom is a weak hemotoxin, and although human deaths are rare, it can cause respiratory failure. It consists of a number of components, including L-amino acid oxidase, hyaluronidase, phospholipase A, serotonin, and highly active kallikreins that release vasoactive kinins. The venom contains no enzymes that significantly affect coagulation. Almost all documented human bites (eight in the past century) have resulted from prodding captive lizards with a finger or bare foot.[16]

While invertebrates are essentially immune to the effects of this venom, effects on vertebrates are more severe and varied. In mammals such as rats, major effects include a rapid reduction in carotid blood flow followed by a marked fall in blood pressure, respiratory irregularities, tachycardia, and other cardiac anomalies, as well as hypothermia, edema, and internal hemorrhage in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, eyes, liver, and kidneys. In humans, the effects of bites are associated with excruciating pain that may extend well beyond the area bitten and persist up to 24 hours. Other common effects of bites on humans include local edema (swelling), weakness, sweating, and a rapid fall in blood pressure. Beaded lizards are immune to the effects of their own venom.[17]

Some compounds in its venom have been shown to have pharmacological properties relating to the possible treatment of diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and even HIV.[18] One compound, a hormone named exendin-3, is marketed by Amylin Pharmaceuticals as the drug exenatide.[19] A study in 1996 revealed that it binds to cell receptors in breast cancer cells and may stop the growth of lung cancer cells.[20]

Reproduction
The beaded lizard becomes sexually mature as early as 3 years, and typically mates during summer months. In captivity, breeding generally follows the same pattern, but successful breeding can occur any month of the year. Males engage in ritual combat that can last several hours; the victor mates with the female.[5] Clutches of two to 30 eggs are generally laid late summer or early fall, hatching the following spring or summer.

Young lizards are seldom seen. They are believed to spend much of their early lives underground, emerging at 2–3 years of age after gaining considerable size.[21]

Conservation

The beaded lizard is surrounded by myth and superstition in much of its native range. It is incorrectly believed, for example, to be more venomous than a rattlesnake, can cause lightning strikes with its tail, or make a pregnant woman miscarry by merely looking at her. As a result of this superstition, locals often kill the lizard on sight.[21]

The beaded lizard is protected by Mexican law under the category A (Threatened), and it dwells within the range of several protected areas.[22] In Guatemala, it is protected by national legislation, and part of its range is within protected areas. It is listed on Appendix II of CITES.[21]

It is estimated that fewer than 200 lizards remain in the dry forest habitat of the Motagua Valley, and this species of beaded lizard (H. charlesbogerti) was facing extinction due to local extermination and loss of habitat for agricultural purposes.[21] A conservation effort has been launched known as Project Heloderma to preserve the semiarid habitat of the Motagua Valley by the Nature Conservancy and partners such as ZOOTROPIC, CONAP, the International Reptile Conservation Foundation, Lincoln Park Zoo, Zoo Atlanta, and the San Diego Zoo. This effort has been successful in getting the Guatemalan government to list the beaded lizard under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species as an Appendix I animal, making it illegal to export the species.[22]

In captivity they are pretty tame mostly i think, they arent really flexible as well so even though they are venomous they are kinda safe to handle if you hold them correctly. Your not likely to die from a bite but its one of the most painful lizards bites ive heard.

First Animal species of the day (492) :
Duobrachium sparksae

Duobrachium is a monotypic genus of comb jellies (Ctenophora) belonging to the order Cydippida, family unknown. The only known species is Duobrachium sparksae.[1]

Discovery
During Océano Profundo 2015 ("Deep Ocean 2015"), an expedition to explore seamounts, oceanic trenches, and submarine troughs off Puerto Rico,[2] shore-based scientists of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Marine Fisheries Service using the remotely operated undersea vehicle Deep Discoverer deployed from the research ship NOAAS Okeanos Explorer captured video footage of three specimens of Duobrachium sparksae, a previously unknown species of comb jelly (Ctenophora), on April 10, 2015. Deep Discoverer filmed the specimens moving just above the sea floor in the Arecibo Amphitheater inside the Guajataca Canyon north-northwest of Puerto Rico at a depth of 3,910 metres (12,828 ft).[1][2][3][4][5][6] With the gathering of specimens impractical during the observation, the scientists identified the specimens as belonging to a previously unidentified species based only on video footage, the first time NOAA scientists exclusively used high-definition video to describe and annotate a previously unknown creature.[6]

The NOAA scientists announced the discovery of Duobrachium sparksae in November 2020.[6] Although the identification of new species based on imagery alone had been controversial in the past, the NOAA scientists used a new virtual method of describing and documenting the discovery and received little criticism of their techniques or of the discovery itself.[1][6] The 2015 imagery captured by Deep Discoverer became the "type material," or "specimens," upon which the description and name of the species are based.[6] The videos became part of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History Collection and are accessible to the public.[6]

Behavior and distribution
Scientists observed Duobrachium sparksae maintaining a specific height above the sea floor and moving like a hot air balloon with two lines dangling to the sea floor below.[6] They did not observe any of the specimens directly attaching themselves to the sea floor with their long tentacles, but video footage suggests the organism touches the sea floor with its tentacles as it moves,[6] and it is possible the animals use their tentacles to adhere to the seafloor.[1]

As of the announcement of the discovery of Duobrachium sparksae in November 2020, its role in the ecosystem remained unknown.[6] Its discoverers hypothesized at the time that it could play a role similar to that of other comb jellies (ctenophores) near the ocean floor, although it also has some similarities to comb jellies found in the open ocean.[6]

In April 2015, within days of first observing Duobrachium sparksae, its discoverers noted that a similar animal had been seen during a remotely operated underwater vehicle dive over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in 2010.[3] As of November 2020, however, the distribution of Duobrachium sparksae within or beyond the Arecibo Amphitheater inside the Guajataca Canyon was unknown, although its discoverers noted that they observed three specimens in a fairly small area on April 10, 2015, suggesting that Duobrachium sparksae is "not extremely rare."[6]

Physical characteristics
The animal has a rectangular shape when viewed in the tentacular plane, but oval from the perpendicular plane. It has two long tentacle arms which protrude from the centre of the sides of the body, and extend downwards. These are about a third as long as the body. These arms encase retractable tentacles which are approximately 30 to 56 centimetres (12 to 22 in) long.[1]

Taxonomic classification
In announcing their identification of Duobrachium sparksae, its discoverers described it as easily distinguishable from all other known species of comb jelly and suggested that it could be classified within the order Cydippida, which they described as a "problematic and non-monophyletic order."[1] However, they noted that while "its robust tentacle arms are more reminiscent of benthic species of [the order] Platyctenida, particularly those of the families Lyroctenidae and Ctenoplanidae,"[1] it possesses ctene rows — fused cilia used for locomotion — unlike most platyctenid comb jellies in their adult form. Its retention of ctene rows in adulthood is more reminiscent of the comb jellies of the family Ctenoplanidae, allowing a limited ability to swim. This led the discoverers of Duobrachium sparksae to hypothesize that it could represent a lineage that diverged from other comb jellies near the origin of the order Platyctenida.[1]

[modest isle]

I don’t understand where is the fun of shooting at another living creature minding its own business
Like they are not hunting these animals for food or survival or self defense they just do it for fun

Like Hunting Videogames already exist to solve that problem so they don’t need to do it IRL

[sullen merlin]

And then to top it off he wen to look for animals that are endangered as well

[modest isle]

[barren bear]

Not justifying because you get what you bringth upon you
But games almost never bring the proper experience of the irl

However, a lot of normal people have hunt irl because of pest control
Like kangaroos here in aus

[modest isle]

Fair point
Also hunting invasive species can be good for the ecosystem
Because invasive species can disrupt the balance and wipe out the native species

[barren bear]

Not really invasive in this regard
Just overpopulation

But yeah

[sullen merlin]

I mean no but its not different than murder, theft or any other crime imo. U ' d rather have ppl play a game doing that than actually commit those crimes IRL. I aggree that hunting can be necessary sometimes for population control or invasive stuff etc but not in this case

Idk if what this guy did was legal or if he did it on farms or whatever, im not implying he was committing crimes but my point still stands

[modest isle]

Overpopulation is also a sign that the species no longer has a main predator or the species that hunted them went extinct

Like the “Tasmanian Tiger” and the “Marsupial Lion” that used to hunt Kangaroos but are now extinct, leaving the Kangaroo 🦘 with no natural predators now they can overpopulated

That sounds Awful , this should be illegal its morally unacceptable to do this to your pets

People who are willing to donate their pets to this Zoo shouldn’t be allowed to own pets in the first place

[sullen merlin]

Real

[full patrol]

It's an inflammatory clickbait article
They aren't asking people to donate their healthy pets. They're asking for animals that have been or need to be euthanized due to health/quality of life issues.

It costs like $500 USD to euthanize an animal at your local vet. The zoo is offering those services for free.
However I do understand the emotional conflict of that beloved pet then becoming food for various zoo animals.

Someone dm me because i want a friend

pls

[sick gyro]

From what I heard, the program has been around a while and does not accept cats or dogs.

The term "pet" was poorly chosen, as what the zoo is actually requesting is livestock. With the most pet like critters being rodents (commonly fed to snakes at pet stores worldwide, especially when they over breed in house).

They want farmers to send them actual live chickens because it's healthier for the wild predators they keep.

First Animal species of the day (493) :
Norway lobster / ( Nephrops norvegicus )

Nephrops norvegicus, known variously as the Norway lobster, Dublin Bay prawn, langoustine (compare langostino) or scampi, is a slim, coral-colored lobster that grows up to 25 cm (10 in) long, and is "the most important commercial crustacean in Europe".[3] It is now the only extant species in the genus Nephrops, after several other species were moved to the closely related genus Metanephrops. It lives in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean, and parts of the Mediterranean Sea, but is absent from the Baltic Sea and Black Sea. Adults emerge from their burrows at night to feed on worms and fish.

Description

Nephrops norvegicus has the typical body shape of a lobster, albeit narrower than the larger-bodied genus Homarus.[3] It is pale orange in colour, and grows to a typical length of 18–20 centimetres (7–8 in), or exceptionally 25 cm (10 in) long, including the tail and claws. A carapace covers the animal's cephalothorax, while the abdomen is long and segmented, ending in a broad tail fan. The first three pairs of legs bear claws, of which the first are greatly elongated and bear ridges of spines. Of the two pairs of antennae, the second is the longer and thinner.[4] There is a long, spinous rostrum, and the compound eyes are kidney-shaped, providing the name of the genus, from the Greek roots νεφρός (nephros, "kidney") and ὄψ ("eye").[3]

Distribution
Nephrops norvegicus is found in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean and North Sea as far north as Iceland and northern Norway, and south to Portugal. It is found in the Mediterranean Sea and is common in the Adriatic Sea,[5] notably the north Adriatic.[6] It is absent from both the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. Due to its ecological demands for particular sediments, N. norvegicus has a very patchy distribution, and is divided into over 30 populations. These populations are separated by inhospitable terrain, and adults rarely travel distances greater than a few hundred metres.[3]

Ecology

Nephrops norvegicus adults prefer to inhabit muddy seabed sediments, with more than 40 percent silt and clay.[3] Their burrows are semi-permanent,[7] and vary in structure and size. Typical burrows are 20 to 30 centimetres (8 to 12 in) deep, with a distance of 50 to 80 centimetres (20 to 30 in) between the front and back entrances. Norway lobsters spend most of their time either lying in their burrows or by the entrance, leaving their shelters only to forage or mate.[3]

Diet
Nephrops norvegicus is a scavenger and predator[8] that makes short foraging excursions,[9][10] mainly during periods of subdued light. They feed on active prey, including worms and fish,[11] which they capture with their chelipeds and walking legs, and food is conveyed to the mouth using the anterior walking legs, assisted by the maxillipeds.[3]

There is evidence that Nephrops norvegicus is a major eater of jellyfish.[12][13]

Parasites and symbionts
Nephrops norvegicus is the host to a number of parasites and symbionts. A number of sessile organisms attach to the exoskeleton of N. norvegicus, including the barnacle Balanus crenatus and the foraminiferan Cyclogyra, but overall Nephrops suffers fewer infestations of such epibionts than other decapod crustaceans do.[14] In December 1995, the commensal Symbion pandora was discovered attached to the mouthparts of Nephrops norvegicus, and was found to be the first member of a new phylum, Cycliophora,[15] a finding described by Simon Conway Morris as "the zoological highlight of the decade".[16] S. pandora has been found in many populations of N. norvegicus, both in the north Atlantic and in the Mediterranean Sea.[17] Individuals may be found on most segments of the lobster's mouthparts, but are generally concentrated on the central parts of the larger mouthparts, from the mandible to the third maxilliped.[18]

The most significant parasite of N. norvegicus is a dinoflagellate of the genus Hematodinium, which has caused epidemic infection in fished populations of N. norvegicus since the 1980s. Hematodinium is a genus that contains major pathogens of a wide variety of decapod crustaceans, although its internal taxonomy is poorly resolved. The species which attacks N. norvegicus causes a syndrome originally described as "post-moult syndrome", in which the carapace turns opaque and becomes highly pigmented, the haemolymph becomes milky white, and the animal appears moribund. Other parasites of N. norvegicus include the gregarine protozoan Porospora nephropis, the trematode Stichocotyle nephropis and the polychaete Histriobdella homari.[14]

Life cycle

The typical life span of N. norvegicus is 5–10 years,[19] reaching 15 years in exceptional cases.[20] Its reproductive cycle varies depending on geographical position: "the periods of hatching and spawning, and the length of the incubation period, vary with latitude and the breeding cycle changes from annual to biennial as one moves from south to north".[3] Incubation of eggs is temperature-dependent, and in colder climates, the duration of the incubation period increases. This means that, by the time hatching occurs, it may be too late for the females to take part in that year's breeding cycle. In warmer climates, the combined effects of recovery from moulting and ovary maturation mean that spawning can become delayed. This, in turn, has the effect of the female missing out a year of egg carrying.[21]

Adult male Nephrops norvegicus moult once or twice a year (usually in late winter or spring) and adult females moult up to once a year (in late winter or spring, after hatching of the eggs).[3] In annual breeding cycles, mating takes place in the spring or winter, when the females are in the soft, post-moult state.[22] The ovaries mature throughout the spring and summer months, and egg-laying takes place in late summer or early autumn. After spawning, the berried (egg-carrying) females return to their burrows and remain there until the end of the incubation period. Hatching takes place in late winter or early spring. Soon after hatching, the females moult and mate again.[3]

During the planktonic larval stage (typically 1 to 2 months in duration) the nephrops larvae exhibit a diel vertical migration behaviour as they are dispersed by the local currents. This complex biophysical interaction determines the fate of the larvae; the overlap between advective pathway destination and spatial distributions of suitable benthic habitats must be favourable in order for the larvae to settle and reach maturity.[23]

Fisheries

The muscular tail of Nephrops norvegicus is frequently eaten, and its meat is known as scampi or langoustine. N. norvegicus is eaten only on special occasions in Spain and Portugal, where it is less expensive than the common lobster, Homarus gammarus.[24] N. norvegicus is an important species for fisheries, being caught mostly by trawling. Around 60,000 tonnes are caught annually, half of it in the United Kingdom's waters.[25][failed verification]

Besides the established trawling fleets, a significant number of fleets using lobster creels have developed. The better size and condition of lobsters caught by this method yield prices three to four times higher than animals netted by trawling. Creel fishing was found to have a reduced impact on the seafloor, require lower fuel consumption, and allow fishermen with smaller boats to participate in this high-value fishery. It has therefore been described as a reasonable alternative to demersal towed gears, and the allocation of additional fishing rights for this type of take has been suggested.[26]

The North East Atlantic individual biological stocks of Nephrops are identified as functional units. A number of functional units make up the sea areas over which a total allowable catch (TAC) is set annually by the EU Council of Ministers. For example, the TAC set for North Sea Nephrops is based on the aggregate total tonnage of removals recommended by science for nine separate functional unit areas. This method has attracted criticism because it can promote the overexploitation of a specific functional unit even though the overall TAC is under-fished. In 2016, the UK implemented a package of emergency technical measures with the cooperation of the fishing industry aimed at reducing fishing activity to induce recovery of the Nephrops stock in the Farn(e) Deeps off North East England which was close to collapse. A stock assessment completed in 2018 by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) shows that fishing pressure has been cut and this stock is now below FMSY and that stock size is above MSY Btrigger meaning that the Farne Deeps nephrops stock is being fished at a sustainable level. However, ICES also warn that any substantial transfer of the current surplus fishing opportunities from other functional units to the Farne Deeps would rapidly lead to overexploitation. This suggests that controls on fishing effort should continue at least until the biomass reaches a size that is sustainable when measured against the level of fishing activity by all fishermen wanting to target the stock.[27] In July 2023 the area north-east of Farnes Deep was one of three sites designated as a Highly Protected Marine Area.[28]

Discards from Nephrops fishery may account for up to 37% of the energy requirements of certain marine scavengers, such as the hagfish Myxine glutinosa.[29] Boats involved in Nephrops fishery also catch a number of fish species such as plaice and sole, and it is thought that without that revenue, Nephrops fishery would be economically unviable.[30]

Oh

I thought it was licensed

Nvm its november thats licensed

[young gale]

She is uhhh

Ok to playa against i guess

I neither like nor dislike going against her

Shes just kinda meh

And her dog is still pretty bugged i think

Houndmaster is the only original killer i dont have

[hallow mango]

houndmaster is a weird killer tbh

when the dog works, it works exceptionally well
when it doesnt its just suffering

which hive tyrant are you going for

[heavy temple]

I already have the swarmlord, so I'm building a winged hive tyrant with a venom cannon

[heady spoke]

hell yea

i also got a swarm lord

what kind of detachment are you looking for

[heavy temple]

Either invasion fleet or synaptic nexus, though I'm trying to make it a versatile group so that I can potentially do vanguard onslaught as well

But a trygon would shred through my buddy's berzerkers, which is why I'm leaning towards getting that one

And, 2 units of von ryans, a neurolictor, and a deathleaper would be a pain in the butt for him to deal with

[heady spoke]

Why not vanguard assault? You got a lot of solo operatives

I currently only have one unit of vom ryans, not two

⚠️ Windows 11 Update Alert – SSD Issues Reported ⚠️

What’s happening:

• The newest Windows 11 update is causing some SSD drives (where most of us keep our games or run systems) to fail.

• During large installs or file transfers (like big patches or game downloads), drives can disappear, corrupt data, or stop working completely.

• Reports suggest drives with Phison-based SSDs (like some Adata, Corsair, and WD Blue models) are hit hardest, but others may still be at risk.

Why this matters for gamers and how it could affect you:

• Game installs or updates could get corrupted mid-process.

• Your SSD might vanish until a restart, or in some cases not come back.

• Real risk of losing saves, game installs, or even the whole drive.

• Games crashing during updates.

• Losing progress or needing to re-download massive files.

• In worst cases, your SSD may need repairs or replacement.

What you should do right now:

1. Pause Windows Updates (Settings → Windows Update → Pause for 7 days).

2. Back up your important files and saves.

3. Avoid heavy installs or updates until Microsoft fixes this.

4. Watch for updates—Microsoft and SSD makers are actively investigating.

🚨TL;DR: The latest Windows 11 update (KB5063878) is breaking some SSDs during big game installs or updates. Pause updates, back up your saves, and hold off until Microsoft rolls out a fix.🚨

Google the issue if yall think im just spamming, just trying to make sure fellow pc gamers are aware 🤗

Good morning. I have someone trying to join the Isle Discord, but the invite I sent him says “The user is banned from this guild”. Does anyone know what specific channel to write to the devs?

He’s never been a part of this community, but somehow he got that message. Thanks!

I ACCIDENTALLY OVERRODE MY FIRST SKYRIM SAVE

sorry

a massive loss but not really because the first playthrough was clueless mode

but the first playthrough of a game and being clueless and discovering things for the first time is what makes them so magical

i'd like to play a lot of games for the first time again

[woeful ice]

Does anyone understand why this game is running 15-20 fps with ultraperf dlss on too, like is it just this patch being very funny?

[woeful ice]

Ok I consulted chatgpt, if someone else has this problem, check System > Display > Graphics, add TheIsleClient-Win64-Shipping.exe to the list of programs and set gpu preference. Apparently win11 can override nvidia settings like that.

[pearl coyote]

not to be "that guy" but shouldn't this go in one of the troubleshooting channels?

Might be more useful to people looking for a fix for this issue than having it in the offtopic discussion channel

[woeful ice]

I looked for such appropriate channel for at least 1 min or so when I was posting this, but turns out I was blind after all. I can see it now.

Top one reason why i dont play anymore

[young gale]

Because everyone wants to play the ht and try out rex and elders?

[terse flame]

fair

btw thank you

[sullen merlin]

U act like this is the game's fault

[coral wraith]

cuz it's mine ?

[terse flame]

is it possible its nobody's fault

[coral wraith]

i've waited a whole hour to get in, spawned got killed by a pteranodon within 2 minute and the game disconnected me

[coral wraith]

rectification, 2 hours

[terse flame]

honestly thats how it goes in the wild

spawn killed 3 mins in

[coral wraith]

getting disconnected ?

[terse flame]

getting killed two mins in

[coral wraith]

i wouldn't whine if I only got spawn killed lol

[sullen merlin]

Its not yours but its also not the games fault lol. The game drops a public hordetest with new content + that content includes the most popular animal in the game. Its normal the servers are gonna be flooded

[coral wraith]

My point is they really should open 5 more server by region. Yeah ik it's costy but it wont be forever

[terse flame]

thats why they wont do it its costly

this entire thing is monumentally costly

have you seen a indie game look like this

[sullen merlin]

Baldurs gate

[terse flame]

is it a indie game?

the team for this game is much smaller tho

[coral wraith]

surprinsingly yeah, i like TI and all but it's not a very good indie game, it lack many thing to make the gameplay loop fun

[terse flame]

this game?

[coral wraith]

yeah ti

[terse flame]

well it is kinda hard to make one in a survival game

[coral wraith]

nah i mean it lacks something in the loop

the gameplay is fine

[terse flame]

like

[coral wraith]

A true objective

rn it's only survive

grow

once you're big you're kinda left with what you got and a little wind

[terse flame]

what you wanna collect acorns or somethin

[coral wraith]

No

I like PoT too but it's not better in it's gameloop

it gots some idea but it's not there either

thing is you can't realy have an objective in a game about animals

because they just survive

it's very niche

[terse flame]

but its one you chose

they didnt say that they would add one

[coral wraith]

It lackes something that would make even people who aren't absolutly passionate about animals play

[coral wraith]

of course

But like you gotta play TI BoB or PoT because you like dinosaurs

you ain't playing this if you're not into it

[terse flame]

elder might fix that

[coral wraith]

it's niche

yeah maybe

but even then

what you do once you're elder

to be fair, ti lack humans

[terse flame]

for now

[coral wraith]

and the stuff that goes with em

yeah

if feel like the game will be insane once they're in

[terse flame]

i want some friend slop like game for the human end

[coral wraith]

and once they fix the lag once and for all too lol

well not the lag

the desync

[terse flame]

travil the map, collect soem data box , or dino samples, ect

[coral wraith]

Sometimes I wonder, what if a major film company (like Universal, Sony, A24, Blum House...) were responsible for a film related to The Isle, how would it turn out? Would it be an interesting story related to dinosaurs and government experiments?

[barren bear]

imagine Lost World Novel but with Isle characters and names basically

which would be a dream
IF anything, something done by A24 or Blum House (or basically any mid-range to low-high budget film company that has an actual producer backing the production)

[silent cargo]

[barren bear]

You'd definitely need some sort of artsy Director

In fact I'm at the grocery store right now, and just bagged up some peanuts

i have neither the peanuts nor the crows where i am </3

there's red-shouldered hawks on campus but i dont think im befriending those anytime soon

maybe the scrub jays

[mild barn]

birb

[limber grove]

please do turtles are cool

[uneven wraith]

scrub jays love peanuts, but aren't quite as smart as crows

[mild barn]

:D
just raised the water level in the tank. they were so happy. I have more pictures too

the big soft shell is named Herman, and the little slider is Todd c:

there were some fish in there, but the turtles ate some of them, and a lot of them died when we moved

[austere robin]

I fed the crows around my local Walmart sunflower seeds and now they start to scream in delight when they see me

I'm dead serious

[hardy phoenix]

@Fat Pigeon

[young gale]

Pigeon isnt here anymore

He got banned

[uneven wraith]

yes, they are pretty good at recognizing people but wearing masks or changing clothes can fool them

be careful feeding them too much though, I've heard it can lead to territorial aggression where they attack strangers who enter the "territory", including pedestrians or like your mailman

[austere robin]

Well I've never seen them attack and they're very used to being close to people, so I hope that doesn't become an issue

[hardy phoenix]

Silence, Heresy.

[austere robin]

I saw one get stuck in a trashcan once though

[nimble grail]

I feed the crows peanuts too. Yours city crows or forest crows?

[uneven wraith]

suburbs really
I try to break up the feeding, don't do it every day, because I don't want them to get territorial with my house
I also try to do it more or less in certain seasons
Like if I do it in the winter when they group into bigger flocks, I've attracted like 40 crows, and I don't want that
So I try to do it in spring and summer, when they pair up to nest and are raising chicks
Often I see the same pair come back with a scruffy slightly smaller bird (the new hatch) that keeps squawking at the parents

Also peanuts are the crow equivalent of candy, it's not healthy for them to eat too much

[nimble grail]

Ahh I see. Yeah the ones where I’m at are shier, and don’t drop in too often. there are also a lot of ravens and I’ve found that they get distracted from food because of it quite a bit.
They disappear in the winter months for me

They do recognize this spot though. I noticed they’ve started to watch for peanuts at the beginning of every spring

[uneven wraith]

Oh yeah good memory

[nimble grail]

oh by the way, I read somewhere it’s common for there to be that One crow that is braver than the rest, do you have that one guy? LOL
