- 1st Splatoon LAN and 1st LAN where I actually knew of and or were friends with a lot of people

- Getting to meet my team in person for the first time who are now all among some of my best friends

- Winning Silver Bracket in game 5 and riding the euphoric wave for the rest of the trip

MIT held a major called Stormbreak in late 2022 and I did seeding for it and got to work with people such as Kbot and Roundy. Eventually joined Minnow Cup staff late and did helpdesk + match moderating duties. MIT's gone inactive since so I haven't done much of anything the past 6 months

Back to MIT, I became a head TO of the LaunchPoint Draft Cup which in addition to my earlier duties there allowed for me to help create and balance teams, to help seed players, handled giving/removing the appropriate server roles and also have made a few map lists.

While doing the above I joined Little Squid League's staff and mostly answered questions in the helpdesk area and in the Battlefy chats. At some point I also joined From The Ink Up when it was starting out and eventually became one of the heads of verification there for a few months.

Started off as a match score reporter in MIT for LaunchPoint Drafts who handled tallying up the leader board and announcing the top 10 players of each season. From then I joined MIT's verification team and verified people for both LaunchPoint and Ink Odyssey, the mid level version of LaunchPoint.

I went outside at 6am this morning and was greeted by this stray kitten I had never seen before begging for food so I fed them

Hell yeah

Having an understanding of how the points system works now, I think I can get 1st the next time I try one which will be either next Sunday or the one after. Was less than 3 points from 3rd place and probably would have gotten it if one of my shifts didn't have someone dc in wave 2

Could be a good opportunity for someone.

We're:
- A well established team that's been around for years

- LGBTQ+ friendly

- Minimal to no tilt

- Lots of paint support

- Open to comps that aren't necessarily meta

We're also LI banned and though we havent played in many, LU eligible as well

It's with a heavy heart that we're announcing Demo will be leaving the team. It's on good terms so we wish him the best with his future endeavors 🫶🏾 That being said,Jelly Squids is looking for a frontline or aggressive midline D5 player! If you're interested DM either diamond00 or natonx on Discord!

Granted I haven't tried a lot of them to this point, the 3DS/WiiU era (and Miiverse) gave me an appreciation for indies. Each time it felt like I was actually playing a game made by gamers, for gamers.

May be thinking about creating/joining a pickup for this

I believe both are true

Watching people play the TOTK randomizer makes me wish I knew how to mod and make my own mods for the game. I do like the base game but there's so many things the base game doesn't allow for that would make it way more fun to me

As expected
