Normally I don't post non-Splatoon stuff on here, but substance abuse prevention is very important to me. Substance abuse killed my favorite artist, who has helped me get through plenty of rough times with his music.

This month and next month deal with substance abuse recovery and prevention:

September is National Recovery Month

For help with substance abuse, visit findtreatment.gov or call 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

October is Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month

would really appreciate engagement on this bc I am curious on peoples interest:

would you be interested in a podcast or long-form talk type series where I and perhaps one other host talk about our and other peoples lived experience in comp spl, and how its changed their lives and affected them?

inspired by @whit3fi3sta.bsky.social making a scorigami board for the #S3NAL, I've put together a scorigami sheet for LUTI season 16 - one board with all scores, and one for each mode individually. #compsplatoon

would people be interested in something like this? I think it could be a fun and interesting way to assess upcoming talent and to hopefully give them a shot at higher levels of play

it would require a lot of scouting though (in an environment where spectating isn't as easily accessible)

xi @imxi.bsky.social · 5d

had a really cool idea for something

basically, it would be the comp splatoon version of a "wonderkid" (the soccer/football term for high-potential youth players) list

this wouldn't be based on age, but rather current playing level (likely LI eligible), and would be revisited every 3-6 months 🧵

xi @imxi.bsky.social · 5d

it's just a graph of every unique score

black = impossible (usually because loser score > winner score)
white = hasn't happened yet
green = has happened at least once

Hi, I'm xi! I'm the Head TO for the Splat World Series, one of the Head TOs for From The Ink Up (though I am currently on hiatus for this event), and a Head TO for something yet to be announced! I'm also a part of the LUTI Seeding Council, and I have helped seed Riptide 2025 and SuperJump 5 & 6!

If being "power-hungry" got me to a position where I'm doing cool things for this amazing community and all I get in return are a couple hundred loyal fans, then I guess being that is not all that bad.
