I found a YT channel recently that does quick, funny recaps of moments/players/controversies in competitive Overwatch’s history

I really wish Splatoon had this. It feels like the real history of the games, outside of just results, gets lost to time

All Splatoon content I see is just knowledge slop

Going back to the United States of CARS after like 2 weeks in a country with fast, accessible, cheap public transportation that goes almost everywhere feels AWFUL

Took me three years of rolling the gacha to get the Shy title in S3

this game blows

Played in a Splat tournament + some Q sets for the first time this year

Definitely feeling the rust but game is still pretty fun, looking forward to going to lans again next year

So weird how Pokemon is so innovative in the TCG space but outputs the worst, low-quality AAA video games out there at the same time

Like Pokemon is either amazing or terrible depending entirely on where and how you partake in it, moreso than any other brand I’ve experienced

I’m going to meet a teammate from my very first Splatoon team from 10 years ago in Japan this August

After that, I will have met at least one teammate from every Splatoon team I’ve ever been on :)

Share a piece of Splatoon lore about yourself. (Bluesky edition)

Will link the original post below! I couldn't find a version of this on here so I wanted to post it myself.

For me it helped to have sessions where I forced myself to not look on discord/watch vids/browse web in-between games. Basically just removed my typical distractions so I could naturally focus, otherwise my attention span would keep failing me

Also making sure I wasn’t hungry or had low sugar

Learning how to guess shock dodges, bag, and front run on top of all the movement tech and shortcuts in MKW has been so satisfying

MKW’s ranked system is lowkey good, no stupid titles or comeback mechanics or anything, just a number that goes up if you’re good and down if you’re bad lol

I’ve seen the entire staff around me at work leave and get replaced. Some got fired, some left for something else, etc.

Making me really consider if I’m cool with rotting away in a cubicle my whole life just to be a real human for 2 days a week

ik I shouldn’t take job security for granted but man…

The fomo of going a year without Splatoon lans is so tough

It felt like such a pointless yet fulfilling hobby, I really didn’t know whether to interpret it as healthy or not. But I definitely miss it lol

I was gonna chill on Splatoon for the year but Mario Kart just died…

I wish Splatoon had tanks, they always end up being my fav role in hero shooters

I mean a real weapon not brellas

Finally hit GM for this season in Marvel

Lowkey miss how unserious Splatoon comp/ranked is, nobody actually practices so it takes (comparatively) not a lot of effort to be good at it compared to other games

It’s addicting for someone that likes competing since its not as big of a timesink

I’ve been almost 2 months clean from comp Splatoon this might be a pb

I’m not even trying to not play it’s just the combo of no more teams + no lans + Marvel Rivals

4

Shy @shy3k.bsky.social · Jan 2

Straight up addicted to Marvel Rivals, I just solo Q’d for like 3 hours and enjoyed it

Might stream it at some point since solo q is kinda lonely

My new year’s resolution is the same exact thing every year (start working out) and every year I don’t pull through lol

But today makes 2 months straight of working out every other day, feels pretty good

Shy @shy3k.bsky.social · Dec 29

I like team-based games and going to lans. No other team game really has lans like splatoon

I also like how easy it is to be/stay competitive as an individual player, you need wayyyy less hours than any other game

Shy @shy3k.bsky.social · Dec 18

Also TTYD is SOMEHOW WORSE THAN THE ORIGINAL

Jamboree is great I want to play it more

Shy @shy3k.bsky.social · Dec 18

Least Splatoon I’ve ever played in a year…

I’ve had less and less opportunities to play the game as the scene favors pickups and SQ more and more. I really like the game itself, but for once I feel like the game is pushing me away instead of me losing the urge to play.

I gotta branch out lol

Shy @shy3k.bsky.social · Dec 11

Same guy who was hanging with a banned player at a lan is trying to play with banned players at an official event…

all for some eshop points at the cost of your/the community’s rep???

Splatoon 9-5ers are actual morons bro
