Hey everyone! Welcome back to our yearly tradition of 🦦 Otter August 🦦! The rules are simple: successfully guess tomorrow's genre and earn a bonus otter 🦦 (and a shoutout in the intro)! As with past years, there is some pattern to uncover that will at least narrow it down a lot, if not give you the exact genre. Please put your guesses and any speculation about the pattern in spoiler tags!

Kicking off this month (on Supersized Saturday, no less) is an Ayeheya! No otters today...

Rules: Shade some cells such that no two shaded cells share an edge and all unshaded cells form one connected network. Numbers within a region indicate how many shaded cells are in that region. A horizontal or vertical line of unshaded cells may not cross more than one region border. The cells within each region must form a 180° rotationally symmetric pattern.
