shrimpsturbance
were the disturbances a cave dwelling species at some point?
is that why they have no eyes?
or do they just have lots of tiny eyes?

@Mr42 May however know a thing or two about the new shrimp mascot of Thrive (as I presume they made it)…

The new mascot reminds me of Opabinia.

Now that I looked at it again, it seems to have these 4 head-limbs… Just like Disturbance!
All I know is that they are great at climbing kelp and have a barnacle like mouth

Soon enough it will become the face of Thrive as it seems…

It evolved its superior eyesight to outmaneuver its prey, which are blind. Soon its prey might even become extinct in the wild, though some isolated specimens may remain as well as those fossilized in the historical record.

Wait… Does the new mascot prey upon DISTURBANCE?!

What 3d modeling software did you use to make the shrimp?

Pretty sure they made it in blender, like their other creations.

It looks pretty similar to the old one all thing considered, which is probably for the better.

This means that your species needs to be adapted to the conditions of the environment you want to live in: temperature, pressure, UV, and even the presence of oxygen.

It was extremely outdated. I put the most relevant art to the press kit page to have some chance to have such a thing be updated.
And what did it used to do? An RSS feed needs a reader program to be useful. For me on Firefox it just forces me to download the XML file, Chrome does show the raw XML but I hadn’t tested the old website what Chrome thinks of that feed so I’m not sure if it at all different.
Testing with a real RSS reader the post feeds looks fine with it.
For example if I add it to Thunderbird as a feed:
Though I guess the dates might need some fixing.
Edit: I checked and the dates are actually correct, Thunderbird just shows the latest updated field and not the original publish time. Also I investigated a bit and it seems it is the expected behaviour that a browser will show just the raw XML, and people should know to put the feed URL into an RSS reader if they are user of such a thing.

So basically it works as intended, correct?

As far as I can tell, yes. And I asked an AI which said that I could technically do something like adding a browser stylesheet or force-redirecting any browsers away from the XML, but the AI also said that those are not really necessary and that most feeds just let people figure them out.
