No intention of breaking the game.
First I was trying to figure out where I was, then I went to drop down to go fight some more pokemon before moving on (hence going off the side down the ledge) and this happened.

Ur damn right im a fat ass, I enjoyed Mountain Dew and Mike and Ikes allll set baby~
I don't forget that I'm fat, nor will I forget that after G3 rage quit!
When people say "If you love the game, why are you so angry with XYZ changes or actions taken?"
I'm frustrated because I love the game and know it can be and want it to be better. I've put thousands of hours and $$ into the series and know it can be a shining game on the VG hill
If you do this, please don't be mean to the person on the end of the line; they did not decide this. They can log the complaint and that's about it, so please, be respectful to them!
It's time to stop putting pressure on eachother, and start putting pressure on
@SplatoonNA
and
@NintendoAmerica
We all want this game to accessible to everyone

All ima say on some recent tweets... you all don't know me:
1) I'm down about 25lb this year, and eat better than I ever have in my life
2) This was my first tourney with TZS since Aug.
3) I missed FLUTI to take care of my health, as I was sick
and with that 💙💙💙💙 @.everyone
**I'm writing this on my own, not expressing opinions of other TOs even in similar situations**
*This is not specifically just about any ongoing situation, however the recent events with Gem are another layer to this and are part of the reason I am writing this.*
From a LAN TO:
Ngl I was about to write a thread about why right now we should swap back to S2 for comp. The game hasnt even been out a week so ill give it more time. For now I will leave it to this:
If things don't change in the right direction soon, we may need to go back to S2 for comp.
I'm curious, what is your spicy Splatoon take?
Please remember to be respectful with replies to others.
I'll start with one (though ive said others before): New Splatoon 3 Maps overall are worse than 1 & 2 due to abandoning the traditional 3 lane system
This isn't the only time they have done this, they pmed multiple members of a pickup I did for Dolphin Splashdown trying to get on our roster for the event for the badge.
Today has been a good day to make a better splatoon community. There has long been an open secret that there is a group of terrible folks in and around the top of the community. Hopefully we can begin to remove those bad actors and take a step forward as better community.
In case anyone wants an idea of how much effort goes into Low Ink..
If we payed TOs & Production $10 an hour, we would have to pay at least $1,500 to run a SINGLE Low Ink, and that doesn't include overlays, time of TOs to answer questions over the month, and other smaller costs.
Alright gamers... if the splatoon devs allowed you to make a custom weapon kit to add to S3, what would you pick as your Main/Sub/Special?
You can make a kit using ANYTHING from the multiplayers of the 3 Splat games.
With the report of multiple people testing positive for COVID after Shine, if you were at Shine, please get tested, especially if you plan to go to Riptide.
Heck, if you didn't go to Shine, before coming to Riptide I recommend testing yourself. In the US you can get free tests.
Pulling this out of this convo to say:
THIS THIIIIISSSSS
It's not a raw number, it's based on play style.
General shooter player? you got 77 options. (tho still suggest narrowing it down a little bit)
Niche style player? maybe 2-3 if ur lucky.
@lildevilhorns
Good rule of thumb to follow imo is to keep weapons that have similar play and aiming styles. Range and Stamper play vastly different but require similar aiming, tetra is kinda a one-trick type weapon but it's easy to flex to other Dualies and short ranged shooters, etc
@melon_lite_
Not defending Gem here, but he said that because the restraining order case is still pending and he is challenging it. Six has even said that it's only served, so he has a right to challenge it in court. It could be civil, but that likely would be later. No one is going to jail.
So, people have been post their own tier lists for Splatoon weapons. I think is it my turn to make the PERFECT tier list. Sorry everyone that has come before me.
I realized I play video games a bit weird, so I'm curious
What do you all do while playing video games that would be considered "weird"?
I'll start: Every time I take a fight, I take a deep breath and hold it until the fight is over.
A bit of inside information on this. We have attempted to bring a major since the late winter. We had tried to work with sponsors and other collabs that fell through. We finally decided to do it ourselves with the funds from you all from patreon, and from donating to the twitch.
Introducing 👾SUPERJUMP👾: Our Splatoon 2 Major!
🔼 Two day event for all skill levels.
🔼 $500 prize pool (donations accepted).
🔼 September 25 - 26th.
More details:
I am not the first to point this out, but there will be a final day you play with your friends that you have now. It may be many years in the future, but it shall happen.
Just thinking about my old BO2 gang, hope they are all doing well. Shadow, SK8, & Others, miss ya all.
🔥 Riptide has hit 270 players! We are just 27 ppl from last year's count!
151/270 or 55.9% are BRAND NEW to
@RiptideSSB
34 of the 151 have went to LTC before but never Riptide! Welcome to Sandusky!
24 players have been to EVERY Riptide! We're glad to see you back!
🧵 ⬇
I'm glad we have a date but damn that might be one of the worst dates possible.
Sorry everyone going to Riptide. You'll have a new game dangling in front of you, maybe in your hands and not play it much that weekend.
I did cry slightly on stream.
For those that missed it, I will be stepping down as a Head TO for Low Ink. In my place, the amazing
@Mr_Popgun
will be taking over.
I will not be stepping down from IPL as a whole, just as a head at Low Ink.
Thank you all! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

@Kbot_273
,
Thank you for doing it all over the last few years & TY for assisting myself and IPL as a whole over the last couple of years. We hope to fill in the whole the best we can.
I'll see ya around mate, and one day we'll get you to a LAN w/o being staff.
It's time to update the Splatoon
@RiptideSSB
map for hitting 250 players!
We have 31 US states with at least 1 player! Top States: OH (20), TX (14), VA (12)*
There are 5 Canadian provinces represented!*
There are 4 other countries with at least 1 player: AU, DR, BR, & UK!
Riptide 2024 early registration is over! Splatoon is already at 1/3 of our attendees last year!
20/50* US states have at least one player coming to Riptide! Virginia has the most players with 9*. Australia and Canada both have multiple players heading to Sandusky, Ohio!
@Doeboy
Biggest thing that worries me is it shows they want/may choose to micromanage the community more, which we know the results of that thus far.
THAT is my biggest concern.
Since this is not included in video, yes I have this badge
You don't need to have 0 hacks like I did from what i hear, but idk the max number to recieve this badge. (my hack number on the bottom 2. 1 vending machine that run too)
WELL, I made an error trying to get someone a EU Eshop card, so time to allow someone to benefit!
EU ONLY: I have a spare 15€ Eshop card. To enter, just Like and RT this.
I'll randomly choose someone on 6/1 :)
Reminder: Most folk voicing their frustration and still playing S3 is because they love Splat & want it to be the best possible. They constantly see awful choices made where there are better choices possible. There is a difference between a few mess ups & constant poor decisions.
Even if you have been to
@RiptideSSB
before, there will be plenty of new Splat faces!
77/150 (51.3%) are new ppl! More data below!
We have 1 person who has made all LTCs & Riptides, make your guess...
Sign up by May 31st and save some $$$ & meet these amazing folks, link ⬇
Something I want to note: The Devs may also be getting some pressure from above making XYZ decisions even if its against what they want. We really don't know. They handled 1 & 2 mostly really well, but it seems that people above are cashing in on that success, push for a lot of..
Shoutout to the real
@DoubleTrbl_spl
, which does the same style event (2v2... along w/ more) and has for a long time, and doesn't use AI art like this event!
AND THE STREAM IS OVER! Thanks everyone for stopping by, and thanks again to Vincent for helping make this possible.
Don't forget to play in Cat MAY-d SoS all month! The first one is tomorrow:
Full picture as promised below!
For the record: I have no hard feelings towards anyone even Momet on this, like they were just angry and tried to let some frsutration out.
I /gen wish them the best (go win beta!) and think yesterday was a fluke, I think the team just had a rough day and/or out of practice
Alright I'm done.
Too many jokes about this being the last Low Ink.
We canceling September's Low Ink to prove a point. No if, ands, or buts.
*splashes away*
Well, this explains why we haven't been getting much free DLC + balancing updates, the Devs have been BUSY with new paid DLC.
I would have been happy with this in the future, but I think this harmed the launch of the game which bugs me. Either way CALLIEEEEEE IS BACKKKKKK

Hi everyone! I am polling the Splatoon Community on tournaments and maps! If you have a spare moment, it would mean a lot for you to fill this out:
And if you are just interested in answering the map questions, you can skip right to the map section.
A good example why people should use their actual online name on Battlefy and in game!
Funny (admittedly) but also a facepalm moment...
(And for note, this isn't @ Biscuit cause they actually have their name correct!)
Tough to reply to all, so a small list:
1) I'm not pushing for this *today*
2)You all shouldn't be so accepting of a game in such bad condition. It's a new game, but it didn't need to come out like this.
3) My goal was to get people talking about this, and I am thankful for that

Sometimes it's like that for me. Other times it's like this... in the first 30 mins.
Haven't found any more (at least wild) glitches since tho. A couple small odd things but nothing this bad.
Everyday I watch you all understand more and more the reasoning of tweet I sent in September of 2022...
Even if you dont agree, I think ppl understand why that thought was even in my head at the time. Many of the same issues are still there from then... 😭😭😭
Fun fact:
After the Splatoon 3 NA Championship, Nintendo witnessed the current habits of top level weapon selection. In order to add more variety in team comps, they have decided to nerf the most problematic weapon in the game. Heavy Splatling

Assuming this is due to threats made because of screen, this is a short term "gain" for a long term loss.
Something I want to greatly express when it comes to
@IPLSplatoon
is we are not done adding more for the community. What we have announced today is just the start... we want to bring more to the table as time goes on. If you want to see something from us, feel free to suggest it!
First time helping LI in any major way in a longggg time. While I'm staying retired from the event, shout outs to Group D being the best group today! (Aka the group I watched over) 💙
fan service, which may be pushing against what the devs feel they want. Unless we can get a conversation (with openness) on this, we will never know.
And if above wants fan service/choices to sell products... then thats what they get even if it hurts the game.
I'ma say it...
I'm finally excited to play S3 for the first time since its release.
Looking forward to patch time. Still some stuff I would like to see fixed, but finally, I feel a huge step in the right direction.
Last call for anyone that didn't get a IPL Pen or Play Low Ink sticker!
Also, to sign my white anchor tee if you haven't!
I'm in the front row by the big screen. I'll try to find you all if you haven't!
Caravaggio Gang (Quad Inkbrush) with 4th place today in JCC! GGs to everyone we played.
