Hi everyone! Today's Supersized Saturday puzzle is a Heyawake! It comes with yet another episode of GAPP 101, so stick around if you're feeling stuck! This is one of my favorite GAPPs I've ever made! :3

And here's the solution video for yesterday, once again explained by the ever-eloquent Menderbug: https://youtu.be/9KIJhnIqOwI

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. A vertical or horizontal line of consecutive unshaded cells may not cross more than one bold border.

We've covered this genre and a few of its variants many times, so feel free to check those out before trying this one, if you want!

As always, an example puzzle and its solution are attached with the image of today's puzzle. Solve that here, if you wish (puzz.link): https://tinyurl.com/2ny78se8
