When I stayed with some long-time friends I met through Splatoon in Georgia in January 2024 I really enjoyed it. Visiting friends in the middle of non-capital zero-tourist nowhere with no set itinerary was awesome. (...)

‪I should plan my X rotations a day in advance so I can go into each ticket with an idea of what I should watch out for or what I could do differently from last time. Then save 1-2 tickets worth of replays to review, and repeat. ‬

Weapons I want to push next season (this month too if I can claw my way above 2k power again)

- TC: Liter (any unscoped kit)
- SZ: Snipewriter 5H
- RM: ? (splatterscope?)
- CB: ?

Some things I know I should work on already:
- Opening positions
- Aim / mechs (for lethal chargers)
- Reading teammates’ signals without voice comms and making judgments
- Not playing too much (sometimes I gain some points but keep playing that rotation and burn out)

I feel like I’ve been trying to claw back the progress I was making in May-July but I similarly feel cursed now. It’s not anyone’s fault I don’t think (mine or the people I pick up with), things just don’t seem to pan out for me like they used to.

I’ve been trying to just make baby steps forward.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

🥚❓

I have a twin sister irl as well, so that can mean only one thing.

We've finally found it. The SECRET THIRD THING.

I'M VERY CLOSE TO 6 STAR VAC RAPID, THIS IS *MY* TURF, ASSHOLE

Same case when I watch higher level replays / recordings, especially with my weapon pool. I can definitely tell they're doing *something* better than me, but I can't quantify it or set goals based on it. If I was any good at doing that, my improvement would skyrocket.

It would definitely help a ton for me to get into the habit of solo vod reviewing X games. But when I try to do that I end up just going "oh, I shouldn't have done that, next" without any idea of what changes I should make in the immediate term to *apply* what I see.
