You know what this is actually a wonderful thing to do so I think I'm gonna do it too! I don't think I've talked about my pookies much on here so I think I will :3

Woooo today is national friendship day and my ass is sappy so this is just a thread thanking my friends in the comp scene. Also #compsplatoon get in on this if you want to. Even if you say it often, seeing something written is special for this kinda thing

Just wanna say I'm all for rehabilitation. Imo Zero is doing really well by returning to the scene and giving back to it via the liquipedia work he's doing. I also personally think Q is mostly okay because she waited past her ban. I'm just against Jared because of him inviting madness back early.

I would definitely like this. Squidboards does need some more accessibility features before we do that, though

Genuinely so cool to see myself on here (even if it’s last page lmao), but also seeing my teammates and friends on here too

Time for the grind to start. This is so fucking cool

i’m so at war with the x rank debate. as someone who plays an unconventional backline i have several issues with x rank. but before i get into those i want to say that x and solo in general are a great way to improve at the game, should you have the time to grind them

red @akainacephalus.bsky.social · 23d

im like 90% sure that so many people coping about x rank being bad/meaningless/unfair and convincing people not to play it set the western scene back by years

what this chart says: people who are likely to be good at the game in tournaments are more likely to be good at solo queue

The first of hopefully many posts on data from the Splatoon Community Census!

Shown is a chart of players LUTI div from the most recent season, compared with their X power, showing a pretty linear correlation

Chart by the wonderful @zapfisk.splstrong.com

Graph which shows a correlation between LUTI Division and X Power

Psa for #s3nal

There is going to be a LOT of new players, people who have never touched sendou or know about the wider scene

TREAT THEM NICELY PLEASE - don't get audibly mad if a team picks urchin turf g1, or doesn't get in the lobby fast enough, etc - a lot of these groups (1/2)

I think the only thing I didn’t like is how normalized DLC has become.

I remember buying full games as a kid and not having to pay an additional 30% for content.

DK Bananza being $20, the inconsistency when it comes Switch 2 editions. I can only imagine how much Mario Wonder will be.

Incoming Nintendo Content Creators:

“WAS THE ONE HOUR DIRECT A DISAPPOINTMENT?”

“Nintendo Direct did NOT live up the HYPE”

“10+ Year Old Nintendo Game Bundle is $80”

Personally, I thought the direct was fine. Some nice things. I’ll probably just buy Galaxy 2 out of the new things announced.

it always feels like we're being forced to throw a dinner party for the worst people on earth, and we have to shut up and smile and be gracious, no complaints, while the worst people on earth are our honored guests and we best not embarrass ourselves in front of them no matter what they do to us
