As someone who did not play splat 1 or splat 2, it's very funny when I see this stuff going around. Like that's just what Splatoon looks like. It still looks exactly like that.
Jfc what even is this????? Wizards of the coast have lost their minds making crossovers with my little pony fortnite and now SPLATOON and
@splatLANart
??? who even is this character??? Theyll put anything on a card for cash now I stg
i really want to believe in orgs like splat safety but when splat safety refuses to make a ruling against someone who has a literal protective order against them bc they're popular -- meaning these orgs are less victim affirming than the COURTS -- i kinda lose all hope
Yk not to be like this but it's just craaaaaaaaaazy that the first splat LAN to not require masks is also the one with the largest outbreak of COVID afterwards. Totally random, completely unrelated and we should learn nothing from this
Asking folks to have compassion rn. If you're wondering why ppl r so heated, so many of us are thinking "damn. I have no proof, what happened to me happened behind closed doors and left no physical marks. So a prominent organization in my community would let my abuser walk"
Ok is it my use of nostalgia here that is making ppl feel like they have to explain to me that they're different games? Bc I didn't mean nostalgia in a "everything was different when I was a kid even tho it was the same" way but in a general "missing things from ur past" way
And if you've never been assaulted, you can't know that pain. You can know pain, but not that one. Especially if you froze so you feel like you can't trust your body and no one will believe u. And being told ppl don't believe u has hurt me maybe even more than the SA itself
I don't wanna keep tweeting abt this but my final say is that I wanna hear ur experience with the criminal justice system if you believe this should be left to them. Bc I spent 3 years intimately involved w/ it and I can say with near certainty this case will never go to trial
I hope u guys liked squidly feud 👉👈 I had a lot of fun hosting!! Shout out to
@IPLSplatoon
@RiptideSSB
for having me, all our contestants for playing, production for actually making it happen, and
@NecoConeco_splt
and
@vowelsPlay
for talking me up to kraken last year ilu guys
im going to commit a bunch of heinous crimes. "but hypercube you won't be able to play splatoon anymore!!" not so! don't fret, for i know this one hack. see i will simply get arrested, and then because there is a pending court case, splat safety cant touch me!!
Gamers bad news.....me n another yoke have tested positive for COVID :( if you spent any time with me or the yokes I recommend getting tested now if u have symptoms, or in 3-5 days if you have no symptoms/have symptoms now but test negative today
@kaasiand
I had the same criticism so I spoke to the TO who was v understanding and just didn't have the language to explain this is just for the nonbinary folks who are also girls, not all nonbinary ppl. They changed it to "women and femmes" in their server
@lady__aria
Oh I'm sure! I've heard they play very differently and looking at gameplay the movement looks very different. But the stock promo images look so similar between games 😭
Reminder I only use they/them pronouns!! I have a reminder button on and everything! Ok maybe you can he/him me if ur making a joke. But please don't she/her me I'm like 5 misgenderings in and every instance exponentially increases my likelihood of screaming in reaponse
Since the new COVID booster likely won't come out in time to give much immunity against infection at Riptide (and it seems impossible to get the old booster, at least where I am) I figured it might be helpful to do a thread on COVID safety for large events :) 🧵
We're abt 2 weeks out from LTC which means it is time for me to start plugging the fact I will have 200 beers again this year!!! But more than beer this time :3 I've got seltzers and canned mixed drinks, too! And more than just Busch in terms of beer! Yippee!!
At da airport on my way to my next destination (won't be home for another week!) still a lil sleep deprived but let's go post-riptide tweet: it rocked. Ggs go next. End tweet
If u want to hang out with the yokes in our room I am requiring proof of vaccine in the last 6 months and a negative COVID test fr tho and I will prioritize hanging in the venue with ppl who are masked. Getting COVID at LTC sucked!!
The United States is experiencing the largest wave of covid cases in 2 years. While we are not requiring vaccination or masks at this year's Riptide, we do recommend getting the booster and considering a mask for your health and safety as well as the health and safety of others.
Wanna send out a huge thank you to everyone who showed up to LTC firepit Splatoon 3 Jeopardy last night both to spectate and help out. The warm reception was such a a great way to kick off the weekend! I have so much fun doing jeopardy and I'm glad it seemed like y'all did too :)
@GUSplatoon
i'm sure it was! ive seen clips and if nothing else it just moves so different, and im sure the ppl and the gameplay was so different. but as an outsider it is funny when ppl share that sentiment with the old splat 1 promo images bc they look exactly like splat 3 promo images
Hewwo if u see me at Riptide next week PLEASE talk to me!! I have a trading card to give out! And I love to gab! I am so serious if u see me and I'm not clearly doing something else come talk to me abt lichrally anything. I have highlighter pink hair u can't miss me

Mr popgun called our icon a "sad little logo" it's a yoke Mr. Popgun that's what a yoke is it's that little piece of plastic that goes on six packs of sodies. The ones that choke turtles and whatever? Do you get it? Because it notoriously kills sea life when littered?? Do you ge
I love u Stardew valley Elliott.....had to draw him bc everybody twinkifies him like no....that man is at least 35 years old and has chest hair that would make the 70s proud
Anyway can u tell I'm a still life painter... unfortunately the real star of the show is the fuckin table
I was one of the ppl who wasn't pleased w/ the "women + nonbinary" thing but I spoke to the TO and they were so open and understanding and willing to change the language. I hope u girliepops out there have fun at the women+femmes tournament!!

@kaasiand
Which isn't to say it doesn't suck like I think there is some levels of nonbinary being seen as women lite/inherently feminine, but at least the TO was able to own up and be clearer abt language
@_xbunnyx__
the person who raised a case abt mr gemothy skwid skool got a protective order signed by a judge saying he is an imminent threat to them and splat safety today ruled they "don't have enough information" and are putting it in their cold cases until the cops (??) make a decision???
Ok that's not it. I shall say my thanks. First of all thank u to level1 production + riptide staff for first of all making that shit run but also for supporting me in squidly feud 🥺

I will never ever regret getting top surgery but I must lament that it came with the crushing realization that I am not and was never great at giving hugs, I just had big boobs
When ur fav oomfies with larger followings than you reply to your tweet to point out interesting visual differences between Splatoon games and suddenly there's 25 strangers in the replies very helpfully explaining to you they are, in fact, different games
🌊The moment you've all been waiting for, the Riptide 2024 stream schedule is here! Featuring 10 streams for 15 different competitions this weekend, you'll have a never-ending supply of amazing competition to watch at home!
@tristan_snipes
PLEASE TRISTAN NOT YOU TOO I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING CRAZY I KNOW THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT GAMES THAT GAVE A WILDLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE I'M MAKING A JOKE THAT AT A PASSING GLANCE THEY LOOK THE SAME
Like btw I'm so serious. If I saw u at all this weekend ur invited to Applebee's tonight. Even if it was a passing glance. I wanna get a little more time in 2gether B4 we all bounce
Have fun playing with your A, B, X, Y buttons, your ZLs and ZRs. I've got the only button I need. You guys don't even know the fun I'm having with the push to exit button. You wish you were me
One more reminder to fill out the super important survey (not the team questionnaire, a different important form) if you're going to riptide!! It's in the SplatLANs announcement ls channel. Please!!!!!!
apologizing in advance but i will be acting like the main character on day 1 of ltc bc it is my birthday. i hope you all will support me in this endeavor
Omg I totally forgor to share the spla2n trislosh I made for
@SamGreszes
!!! I wish I got nice outside aesthetic photos but I didn't get around to it before gifting it
Also btw if you have COVID the best best best thing you can do rn to recover quickly, avoid severe symptoms, and minimize long COVID is rest. Sleep as much as you can. Lie down and do nothing until you feel better.
HUGE fucking shout out to
@HelloKelloArt
and
@mothman_SP
for letting my crash at ur place at 4am after taking the midnight train and grabbing groceries and giving me the felt and command strips for my fake Steve Harbor mustache. U guys r so fucking cool ilu guys
if there was a st louis lan im just letting you know my mother in law owns an airbnb and i have a futon and a couch and id make sure anyone traveling out of state has a place to stay :>
Not my place to say whether or not jerkpot or other big names are forgiven for saying racial slurs, but I will say it does strike me that I don't think any one of their statements have directly named Black people as the ppl harmed or acknowledged what that harm is exactly
its hard to find coaching sometimes bc a lot of ppl giving us feedback are like "erm don't run a sploosh, hedit, tri, and blaster" and we're like well we're going to do that so now what
Fill out the very very important survey...please we need everyone to fill out the very very important survey ..... And please give real answers don't try to be funny someone has to compile all the data and you'll make it really hard writing jokes instead of giving real answers

It's crazy to go from like <20 ppl riptide '23 jeopardy on my own projector in some tucked away corner of the venue to squidly feud on the main stage with 200 viewers on stream fully backed by production. I could not be more honored and I had so much fun hosting
Society is ready for another puppet show but I sincerely do not believe that any studio would take the financial risk to make it and that's why we need to end capitalism
@TeamInk95
@chinoki346
Gotta give my thanks to
@splatLANart
@oyasumilunachan
for organizing FLAWLESSLY, every single artist who all made incredible cards this year, and everyone who collected the art cards. The positive feedback I got from my card was overwhelming and I am so grateful.
in honor of the undertow remake heres art from like 6 months ago i never shared. undertow doesn't look like that anymore and neither does the yokes roster oh how time passes
I thought visiting an old friend and traveling post Riptide would stave off the post lan blues and it's definitely helping but I do miss everyone fiercely!!
And of course I have to end this with my eternal gratitude for
@SixPackYokesSPL

who didn't make it but for being integral to the grind beforehand and the vibes that make the yokes who we are
