hi ive gained a few followers from the acht video but i want to specify: i may discuss/retweet suggestive content here, so if you're underage and/or don't want to see that, you might want to unfollow. do what's best for u and don't feel like you gotta stay if you're uncomfortable
i think salmon run rewards are getting a little too geared towards the hardcore overfishers and im not afraid to admit that
it's not a skill issue at this point it's a Time Issue. what average player is going to have enough time to get even 800 bronze scales in a reasonable time
watching
@chuggaaconroy
's newest splatoon 2 episode, and when this image was brought up, i realized something
this!! this is in the splatoon 3 "Return of the Mammalians" trailer, 1:10 in!!
overlapping gif just to illustrate my point a little better
this looks to be the same imag even down to the ink splotches in the background....flounder heights?? are you returning??
and this is only Some of the past gear, which means it can and Will get more expensive. not to mention you need to spend scales to unlock more things to spend scales on. this is not good grinding, this just sucks for everyone who isn't already playing SR day-in and day-out
some of the hardcore salmon run players have said
- they hate it too
- it's arguably not even FOR them because they're not going to be able to use that gear in their favorite mode (salmon) because it's pvp gear
and i appreciate the solidarity and apologize for the generalization
Satellite images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRise camera show the face of a bear on the surface of Mars. The topography is possibly shaped by volcanic deposits filling an impact crater.
next time someone has a complaint about splatoon lore that boils down to "this didn't fit my headcanons and i'm mad about it" im sending them this

@Timm8o
imo i am not okay with the idea that i need to spend scales to spend scales on things i actually want. relying on RNG to get these pieces of gear is not the same thing as *earning* them. i would just be lucky to even get 13 bronze scales in *62* king salmonid shifts
@SplatoonNA
anyway, check out my ridiculously angry thread about what's wrong with saying this doesn't follow lore, because popular people are saying that!
@OatmealThoughts
remember how they said "For Splatfest Points, adjustments to the Halftime Report should make it feel less like the winning team has already been decided." in the patch notes and then this happens three times in a row
to everyone saying splatoon fans are desperate for new info: not me! im fine combing through this stuff and ive been doing it nonstop. looks like there's still more to find if this is any indicator LOL
@thetruecourtesy
i like these!! i also have a headcanon that donated octarian venom is used to make toxic mist...like harvesting snake venom from their fangs but you do it yourself
@MoolaMixtape
@helleboreblood
been saying this. what about "anarchy modes" is anarchistic? it feels like nintendo is using the definition of anarchy that falls under "disorder due to not following authority," except they're doing that anyway and also don't acknowledge the organization in actual anarchism
i've seen some talk about the potential for playable cuttefish in splatoon 3, so i'm throwing my hat into the ring in terms of guessing what they might look like
i don't feel like drawing kid form predictions right now, but there's a little more info to these in the thread below
octo expansion fundamentally changed the kind of person i was and im very grateful for that. ive developed other interests thanks to how i interact with one franchise and managed to land on some good opportunities for myself
happy 7th anniversary, splatoon
@AlexButJust1
when i cite the 800 bronze scales, i mean i think even THAT is unreasonable, not even getting into anything worth more than that because i felt it spoke for itself
ok im muting this because it's gone wayyy past my usual circles, but i would once again like to apologize for using the term "overfishers" incorrectly and do not intend to blame them for this kind of thing, but there IS some kind of hardcore demographic they want to reach w/ this
something i've noticed about side order art is that some people draw the "clones" as having dark sclerae (like sanitized octolings) when the light and dark parts of the eyes don't actually change in the image that shows them. i think it's interesting, so. notes (and short thread)
yall are quick to take something new, different from what we know (as it's undiscovered! by the SRL previously) and say it "doesn't follow established lore!"
if a real octopus species was discovered that has perpetually "fuzzy" skin, would it be not following the lore of earth??
@urfriendlyrival
WAIT i also forgot that she just....tries to take the credit for the balm stuff even though it was laventon's idea and lian is kleavor's warden in the first place (and she didn't want her own clan to do anything about it in the first place)
@Timm8o
and that's not counting all the failed shifts Before i get to the king salmonid, that's not counting all the successful shifts TO get to it, and that's not counting all the times i get different kinds of scales instead of the ones im actually looking for, setting me further back
@HDHaZmY
i never said i was blaming the overfishers, or any other group of people who "no-life" salmon run, and im sorry for giving off the air of singling them out for something they didn't do, but the point is that the goals can already be unrealistic for people who Do play that much
Boom! We didn't want you to wait too long. Observe how a user can group ink strikes closelyβ¦or space them out strategically. Truly, this is a weapon that rewards the flexible and calculating user. Apologies for our earlier "boom"βwe do get excited here at the Squid Research Lab.
@ChongoTweet
not to distract you too much but your livetweet threat showed up like this just now and its so fucking funny to me i couldn't not bring it up
@Timm8o
it's just not friendly to anyone who doesn't exclusively play salmon run. these aren't long-term goals if their acquisition is based on luck. they're not trophies because they are not earned like one.
enamored with the ability of video games to let you die in a strange way and immediately have other people test out the way you died. kioe, i already miss you
@SplatoonNA
people be working without the full picture and saying its law and dislike seeing anything that doesn't follow their idea of canon. there's a reason i say all of my ideas aren't set in stone because i am not writing the plot.
various side order musings
i really want the order gear to be back, but i think it would be cool if they did something sinister with it... stealth missions...
use your fucking brains if you wanna talk tough about a story you, yourself, are not writing. think of parallels in-universe and out. im sick of this shit
@ProChara
think the weirdest thing about this is when people go "b-but what if this was available for everyone?" as if it wouldn't be sticks vs motion all over again
accessibility needs can differ wildly from one person to the next, but the problem is when changes like this AREN'T official
@RadicalJawz
at least that's a NEW thing; as wild as that price is, at the very least it's not old gear that, in the past, we got for a fraction of a fraction of the time and effort
These Pokemon Do Not Exist
The fakemon AI was asked to generate "A dark, ghost, and poison-type pokemon". Here's what it thinks that looks like!

#LookingGlassAI
You know them as Dedf1sh, underground DJ extraordinaire, but get ready to meet them as Acht, an Octoling pulled into this world like Agent 8. They've been here a while, so they have the deets on things even we at the SRL don't know about the Spire of Order, color chips, and more.
