@joythedatanerd.bsky.social and I have just launched an 8s bot!

It streamlines the process of 8s by automatically managing members, text and voice channels, and the events lifecycle.

It also provides a player queue, role selections, and utility commands.

After three weeks of hard work I’ve migrated splat.top to a much more flexible framework.

What does this mean? If you have a discord bot and you want it to stay online 24/7 and super easy to update, let me know!

Excalibur’s 8s bot is the first such bot hosted on it, thanks to @hfcred.dev the goat!

You know, thinking about it, 67 is a much less annoying meme to older people than I’m sure “the cake is a lie” was.

I can’t imagine how incomprehensible it was for young people to call every cake a lie

Splatoon is weird in that it's the fastest game that the market can tolerate, and I'm partially convinced that the market only really tolerates it because it's a Nintendo IP.

RIP Quake Live, gone too soon but never forgotten
something i think we don't recognize enough is how genuinely difficult splatoon is

like. it is the fastest paced shooter game out there, with the most unique movement mechanics, and you've either got MOTION CONTROLS or sticks without aim assist

Reading my old blogs makes me wanna write again.

Feels odd though, I only want to explore topics that interest me and tear them apart to put them back together. Like how odd it is to be a programmer in a field of artists and rarely be considered a “creative.”

I’ve raised my kid entirely on Spanish, as little English as possible, and today he said “Guau” instead of “Wow”

I’m incredibly proud

Reading takes by non-systems type people on how player rankings should work is as painful as reading takes by STEM bros about how modern art is pointless and dumb. Both have no experience with the subject but are utterly convinced that the problem is trivial and the creators are morons

Update: Now everyone (up to high-level) can get the chance to scrim up!

I'm hoping this and the QoL changes encourage more people to join the server and scrim down as well :)

One of Facebook's worst features is "Memories" because it consistently gives me new situations to cringe over. Today I discovered yet another situation where I rejected a girl without even realizing it. Incredible stuff, really. I can see why my now wife had to ask me out lmao

I have no idea why this post took off with the developer community
As part of the effort to make splat.top easier to maintain, it’s now moved to ArgoCD! It looks so nice looking at my website all laid out like this :D

Kinda wonder how chaotic it would be for a server (like the 8s server) to grant “credits” if you play a match in the tier below, and playing a match in the tier above would cost credits. So if you’re T1 and wanna play a TX match, you have to have at least one credit from playing a T2 match.

Did my first scrim session with the folks here.

Was an eye opening experience & I learned a lot about the things I need to improve upon.

Highly recommend this server to anyone in the low level looking to push midlevel.
Now live: discord.gg/FVjEenQpsU

we'll see how this works out, and it's also open to people around mid-level who want to help, as we have a role for you :)

For SQ map list how important it is that it balances out the maps at map list stage.

Like I could balance out so that both teams get equal amount of "votes" and then it might be that the end result favors one team over other. This just would be an easy fix for the "default maps" problem

Thoughts?

would any low-level teams be interested in a program where you'd scrim a mid-level team and receive coaching after the session?

I especially want to hear from those around D7 or D8, as I think facing anything further down the comp ladder would fall off in terms of effectiveness

It only took the better part of two weeks for the community to break the head of the new Excalibur 8s server, incredibly disappointing.

Idk why people debate Nim Chimpsky having a grasp on language, this clearly communicated what I wanted.

I didn’t expect ever having to explain necessary and sufficient conditions within a Splatoon context.

This community is full of surprises, it’s great :D

I’ve been thinking a bit how to do feature prioritisation for sendou ink and something that could be tried is monthly or so sessions to go over what would be the current focus. Then ppl could also submit their own ideas and I can at least comment on those.

TBH simply too many things I’d like to do
