S3 does not want you to feed constantly- the game is just at a faster place because specials aren't stally. i think they finally got it right with mixing the specials with how fast players actually want to play
it's a movement shooter, and the fastest one at that- slowing it down would be miserable

Okay I'm gonna write what my thesis on what "the meta" really means in this thread and hopefully this model can help look at strategy a little differently. It operates on 4 layers.
Layer 0: The Game.
This is what you're allowed to do, the code. It's the rules you cannot break, physical reality.

There is a Town of Salem 2 youtuber who managed to create a very healthy viewership for himself despite the fact that 98% of the people watching him have never played the game. Town of Salem is even smaller than competitive Splatoon but that does not matter because he's entertaining.

Fun video idea I unfortunately probably cant take advantage of is explaining splatoon to other shooter games as a series.
For example a video comparing splatoon to valorant and how to be able to make a switch and enjoy it. I have a lot of ideas for this so dm me if u want more #compsplatoon

- tryouts have been going well for BF and Ink Opaque
- aced a job interview, I do hope I get the position bc it would pay close to $15k more then I was making before
- I'm experimenting with how I practice splatoon I think shorter more focused 1-2 hr sessions > longer grinds

I can always adjust wording, and I'll have a blanket statement above all of them stating that staffing applications for tournament orgs aren't always open.
I already have @iplabs.ink an @dappleprod.bsky.social's application links, but more would be appreciated!

To any tournament orgs - would you be able to respond with or DM me staffing application links?
I'm considering putting them on Sunken Scrolls to make it more accessible for people to get into TOing/production/commentating, since there isn't a central repository for staff applications.
