Speaking from personal experience, the best way to get good at Splatoon isn’t ranked, it’s scrimming.
But the community killed that in favor of Sendou Q, so now it’s ranked by default lol
Anecdotally I was definitely at my best as a player when I could scrim for hours straight with my bros

I bought Digimon Time Stranger last night and its depiction of Shinjuku is so cool
Stuff like Digimon/Persona/etc always make me jealous, I wish there was an RPG that takes place in NYC…
I really liked Earthbound for its American themes, I really hope something like that exists eventually

New Air Riders video, playing as the WORST character in City Trial!
Tried going for a funnier/informative intro with some more editing for this one.

Forgot to mention it but I started making Kirby Air Riders content :)
Gonna be focused on City Trial, just some simple gameplay vids with commentary trying out different strats. Gonna try to post once a week, we’ll see how long that lasts…

This year felt like I lost most of my hobbies to time
Hopefully I can find something to be passionate about, life is kinda boring without something to get good at

With that, Gourmet Race finishes 7th place in the Playoffs of Season 1 of the North American League!
I genuinely could not have asked for better teammates for this event. Being one of two pickups in the playoffs is incredible, we hope to see you again next season one way or another👀
Roster below:3

Been thinking about changing careers lately, but the idea of going back to school/no income is scary
I like my job but it is not recession proof and doesn’t really offer OT

Air Ride is the first ever game I played as a kid…
This is the most passionate I’ve felt about a game release in years, the fact that a sequel to this game exists is such a miracle
It’s so easy being a Kirby fan

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

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.

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

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
