d4p admin here! it's in the most recent #announcements post. do note though that this CTA was actually a bigger success than i thought and a few artists have jumped into the boat now! that means i might end up needing to decline future volunteers (playing by ear for the next few days though)

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out

the number below doesnt work, as Stripe has changed their number, and is demanding a $2.99 fee to even tell you what it is.
however, this number DOES still work and will let you leave a message:

finally a reeflux kit that convinced me to play it for more than two games. bad news guys. i like it. a lot. this isn’t even about the kit i just finally had a reason to feel around the main for a bit. ive been studying the bow… the one-shots on this thing are literally easier to me than on blasters

mini is always weird without a burst bomb, but i do appreciate the vision behind beakon. it’s a bit more methodical than the vanilla, you need to be a bit more supportive and pick your fights carefully. but i kinda like that on mini. plus beakon deploy into low ink strats actually kinds goes hard.

new hydra is just a damn good fun time. does it result in a unique playstyle? not particularly, but considering how inflexible the main can be, having 2 kits covering what it does best in 2 different ways is gonna feel SO nice. plus deployables feel nice, continuation is super important with hydra.

is it good? oh surely it probably is. maybe even beats out the vanilla zones niche. but the vanilla niche is so FUN, man. it would be different if it was something like torp; then you can still feel like a powerful fighter while surviving to save your crab. but now surviving needs to come first. idk

here’s the hot take: not a fan of hornz dread from a casual perspective. maybe it’ll warm up over time and comp is a completely different story, but the loss of a good bomb in addition to getting a long-duration, timing-sensitive special just kills the playstyle that stole my heart when it dropped.

jet squelcher. they finally made a kit that’s not a snoozefest and it still just feels like sexplo but a shooter. very grateful my baby now has a burst kit but you just get sad knowing what it could have been. but it’s just a damn fun reliable anchor at the end of the day.

it’s strange how similar brnz painbrush feels to the nouveau. like, it’s a painbrush with a somewhat useful utility sub and a powerful, quick ranged special. nouveau is more reliable, brnz has higher risk and reward. both fun but they kinda overlap way too much. wish we got a kraken or stamp instead

no one cares about my kit opinions but i’m gonna share them anyway. 96 is FUN, dart isn’t great ofc but it’s cheap and does help out its mobility a lot especially with cooler. honestly might prefer it over the deco and might try to squeeze it into comp sometimes.

Bluesky "feels empty" because you are responsible for finding the content you want to see, as opposed to waiting for an algorithm to spoon feed you content it tells you that you want to see.

in honor of team grub lets roll up big man on a spit and roast him over a campfire (succulent)

(Deep Cut, right after the helicopter crash)
Frye: I told you we should've packed food!!
Shiver: Relax, let's kill and eat Big Man.
(The mechanic is horrified to hear this but Big Man paying no attention due to handheld gaming)

He's never gonna hear the end of it.

#splatoon

A comic including Shiver, Frye, Big Man, and an unconscious pilot on the beach of a deserted island. The comic reads as:
Shiver: Fun?
Big man: Ay? (what?)
Shiver: You wanted to bring FUN?!
Big man: Ay AY?! (You thought I was SERIOUS?!)
Frye (small font) So Hungry...

Surely the Splatoon devs didn't forget about a certain special when designing 3rd kits...
