It’s an honor to have been hosting this project for four whole years now! I never thought it would grow in numbers so much since we first started in 2022. Did you know that the first ever Riptide Trading Card Project had only 11 artists?! Look how many incredible artists are a part of it now!! 🧵
That’s a wrap for the 2025 Riptide Trading Card Project! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so much for your support of this project & our incredible 37 artists who participated this year.
Until next time…! 💛

We keep teasing it, but now it's time to reveal the amazing Riptide 2025 poster by @mdoebling.bsky.social!
Amazing work, we can't wait for you all to see it in person!

The complicated part of doing a poster for a LAN is not finding the artist (which is still hard to whittle down) but working out how many you need to print in relation to players and attendees going.
This is a rabbit hole of working out stats from previous LANs.

We're rebuilding @iplabs.ink player database and well... some players really like shouting their name.
This is an example of why you need to cap the length of string in software. (Looks at Battlefy...)

I've been back from Basel (Switzerland) for less than a day and I already miss the cycle infrastructure. Can Greater Manchester get better cycle infrastructure pls.
I enjoy cycling without being rammed off the road by a deliveroo delivery or by a taxi driver in a rush.

I did a 40 min walk from my hotel in France to Germany, and then back just to get Spezi.

Who knew trying to redesign @iplabs.ink's production system, database was such a headache...
I'm slowly being reminded why I didn't want to add to the system any more.

Out of curiosity, would the EU Splatoon Scene want one more @iplabs.ink King of the Castle? A final dual per say, given I never did a final send off.
I stopped running it due to low turn out and cause I had work more hours at my then full time job due to client work coming in.

Decided to rewrite how IPL/Low Ink does player verification and seeding with a brand new system. I think the staff are enjoying the new system as we have it in Alpha atm.

Note to self: don't log into the @iplabs.ink Bluesky account on my person phone unless you want a constant stream of notification as more people follow the account.
On other hand, we might start to actually use the account one day 😊
