I wanted to talk a bit more about playing off meta at top level Dread is not the first time I've done this either. I tend to push off meta or unproven weapons when I notice they work for me results wise, and I am totally up to giving advice for others pushing their own weapons on how to make it here

I wanted to briefly speak on the idea that top players won't let you use off meta weapons mostly because I feel I have a very important pov here. I started using Dread late last year and at the time I did, no one had gotten a tourney win or anything in either scene with it. The weapon was entirely unproven and seen as dogshit by a lot of high ranked players for being a worse bucket, or zones cheese spam, or too slow for the meta or whatever. However when I won the first tourney I did with it, I had no trouble practicing and using the weapon in that environment.

Maybe its different lower down, I have no idea honestly, and yes I obviously still had to get good results with it first, but I think in general you prove yourself as a player first before anything. But the idea that you can't play these weapons is just wrong, I had multiple groups play with me and I only struggle to find them now because the groups I had are now on teams (which obviously makes sense to prioritize) and I am picky on the comp I want built around my weapon. That's totally fine.

Oh yeah the Chapter 3 superboss is rough and I do really like it because of that. Although while I agree that the normal Spamton NEO fight isn't as hard as Jevil, I don't think it's that much easier and solo Spamton certainly gave me more trouble

I decorated my graduation cap in the style of the game that partially prevented me from dropping out of art school two years ago. I had a lot of fun making it! Thank you to splatoon and the wonderful community of artists and players for inspiring this art major to keep pushing onward!

A splatoon-themed, hand-drawn graduation cap with a lavender-colored squid up top. Underneath it says "Thanks, Splatoon!" in the classic S1 font and 「イカよろしく~」, the Squid Sisters' iconic catchphrase in Japanese. On the left and right are two quotes from the Squid Sisters' dialogue from the splatoon 3 grandfest. "Without all the stuff that happened in the past, we wouldn't be who we are now." "You're right! Our shared memories are our greatest treasures!" Beneath the text is Callie and Marie's classic dialogue icons and a sticker of a purple inkling girl in a school uniform.

Do you want your team to have some trading cards for Riptide? I want to help!

I'm opening an Interest Check to see how many people are interested and to connect teams with artists.

Solo Cards are also available!

Made a version of this meme I wanted to see.

Meg Griffin ans AI says "You guys always act like you're better than me."
The rest of the family are dressed nicely, Peter is labeled "Digital artist", Lois is labeled "traditional artist", Chris is labeled "Pixel artist", Stewie is labeled "A literal child with crayons"

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately?

anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.
