I don't understand why or how anything goes viral on this site

The more I think about the movie whiplash, the more I think it’s a great Rorschach test for a view on what greatness costs. The average reading of it is that it’s a cautionary tale of obsession. Haven’t been able to stop thinking about this film for years.

SplatVote is up, and the inaugural vote is tournament tiers! I've selected 18 tournaments, and I'd like players to pick whatever tiers they believe those tournaments belong to. Don't know? Skip it, it's fine. Don't wanna do all of them? Also fine!

It’s a terrible day to work in energy analytics and I’m heavily considering muting the word “oil” lol

I was annoyed at nostalgia playlists being just the hits so I built an algorithm that creates Spotify playlists that are nuclear grade nostalgia and built a 200-song playlist from my high school years and I’m sorry to report this shit oneshotted me. I must bury this algorithm deep.

I’m working on a website that’ll allow community polls and I’m going to have the inaugural poll be voting on a few tournaments and assigning labels. The goal here is to calibrate towards what the community feels a “major” is. So! Any suggestion for tiers and tournaments to vote on is welcome

2025 was pretty incredible. Massive validation of the enormous amount of effort I have been putting in myself for the last decade and some change that even setbacks have been manageable. Onwards and upwards.

My biggest physics student pet peeve is the rampant misuse of “Schrödinger’s ___” and it kills me a little more every time I see it

Worth noting that if the apology for the gem situation involves trading which person is “the bad one,” it’s not really growth. It’s saying “I’m sorry I picked the wrong team”

Please judge this statement by my own words, not what someone else said about it on Twitter. My accusers have spent a long time spreading their narrative and may bomb this with comments to poison the well, while this is my 1st chance to publicly explain what's... docs.google.com/document/d/1...

this is what we were meant to do with the tier maker on sendou youtu.be/OI4UCqwB1rg #compsplatoon

I just realized the movie school of rock is a direct inversion to the movie stand and deliver. Like, on every level. It’s kinda weirding me out

The most surprising part of the dreamy situation is the knowledge that there exist “splat safety = illuminati” conspiracy theorists. The mechanism of power doesn’t even make sense. What in the world?

Agent 8s had six minutes of downtime which has killed our 100% uptime streak and we are now at 99.9% uptime. Miserable way to end the streak

AREA CUP winning weapons updated 🔄 Yesterday’s AREA CUP was a record-breaking tournament, with three new weapons joining the winners’ club: iBow (tkf), v96 (Rusu), and vDapple (Neespa). In addition, two more weapons from past tournaments—Forge (Livia) and WNT-R (Lobster)—were added. #compsplatoon

comp.splat.top/learn I've built an interactive ranking simulator to try and explain how comp.splat.top scores are computed. This is actually a simplified version, but should explain the principle I hope

Several changes tomorrow to make uploading VoDs more user friendly - YT preview embed that hovers on the left - Sync match timestamp to embed's current time w/ 1 click - Mode radio buttons (2 click -> 1) - Stage select w/ search & img - Wpn quick select (like SQ) - Copy above map's wpns #sendouink

Since I already collect all tournament info, I wonder if this would be doable as a Balatro mod. Just have it connect to the internet when you start up and get their current streak 🤔 I have too many ideas

Having built and trained two different neural networks to try and autocomplete gear, v2 with 10x longer training time than v1, then examining their brains, it’s kind of crazy to see how v1’s approach to building gear is similar to how a newer player would and v2’s is much closer to a stronger player

I made a video about x rank and why we should stop down playing it's usefulness youtu.be/S8GYzBQBOwA?...

Whoever the observer is for NA League, major props absolutely incredible camera work.

does someone know a good video editor rdy to work rn for some splatoon video

Gambling was such a huge issue in our past that the phrase “bet the farm” is built into our vocabulary and we just kinda assumed we knew better, legalizing it again. Really makes me wonder what other hard earned lessons from our ancestors we’ll have to relearn.

In Thursday's update I will add new tools that aim to aid organizers in making sure tournaments run in time. 1) Bracket displays time each set has been ongoing for 2) Match pages display the target time per set 3) End set option (thread for more information) #sendouink

Holy shit I just got a reply to a post on reddit I made 8 years ago giving specific advice about something I personally dealt with, and this person told me that in the last 8 years they've kept looking back to my words for strength and they're better now. You really can make a difference with words.

A closer look at this moment.

Double digits! sendou.ink competitive season 10 is now open. Play SendouQ and ranked tournaments, rank up in the leaderboards solo & with your team. Claim spot in Plus Server and Season Finale major in February with $500 prize pool. #sendouink

A video focused on this moment and the context surrounding it has a high probability of breaking out of the Splatoon YouTube bubble and into general gaming. You can really do a lot of storytelling here. “How three frames determined a game” or stuff like that. Huuuuge opportunity for content here

Looking to hire a graphic designer/promo artist for any art the Splatoon Peer Review server needs, maybe some other things as they come by. Please reach out to me if interested or know someone who would be, I haven’t really commissioned splatoon things before

Hey all, I put up a public dashboard for the Excalibur 8s bot. It includes data @hfcred.dev and I think are helpful for the community, and excludes things we think might be detrimental. Let me know if there's anything interesting you'd like to see added! excalibur.splat.top

I feel as if I have a parasocial relationship with my past self. I can look at his writings, but I can’t really go back and edit them any more than I can rudely do so to a stranger. I know so much about him, but he knows nothing about me. We can never be friends, no matter how badly I want us to be.

Planning banned maps list for Season 10 and open for feedback. Already decided to unban all SZ maps so this is just about TC/RM/CB. Basic rule is that to unban one map, another should be banned and vice versa. Feel free to give feedback! Current list below. #sendouink

Going through my ancient youtube videos I realized that I had a capture card in 2009. Legitimately didn't even remember. Yes, it was for Guitar Hero. I'm old.

For the next few days, I will be sharing some fun facts about some of the statistics for the Top 8 Teams in the Splatoon 3 NA League! 1) fofofo has played in most number of games (86) against any of the Top 8 teams! They are 56-30 in all games, with RM being their best mode at a win rate of 73%

Race to Crown has now completed 17 of 24 tournaments this season. With the points from yesterday’s championship, Lobster has secured his spot for next year’s AREA CUP Crown with 193 points. This is the earliest qualification ever—an absolute monster. Actual points in the thread. #compsplatoon

Gungame would be so interesting in Splatoon, though I gotta wonder what the last stage would be. Reeflux? Clash?

With the Splatoon 3 NA League playoffs happening in two weeks, I created a dashboard that analyzes statistics for all teams in the Top 8 playoffs for head-to-head matches! You can find and interact with the dashboard here: public.tableau.com/app/profile/... (More information below)

Watching a guy cheat on his Econ 101 quiz with ChatGPT at a fancy restaurant with his laptop out, sitting with his family ignoring them. Incredible.

One of the neat things about having taken the effort to do this major migration is that I have access to a live dashboard on the statistics of how 8s is looking. It takes on average 30 minutes to fill an 8s lobby and it'll run for an hour and 23 minutes :D

@joythedatanerd.bsky.social and I have just launched an 8s bot! It streamlines the process of 8s by automatically managing members, text and voice channels, and the events lifecycle. It also provides a player queue, role selections, and utility commands. [ #splatoon #comsplatoon ]

After three weeks of hard work I’ve migrated splat.top to a much more flexible framework. What does this mean? If you have a discord bot and you want it to stay online 24/7 and super easy to update, let me know! Excalibur’s 8s bot is the first such bot hosted on it, thanks to @hfcred.dev the goat!

You know, thinking about it, 67 is a much less annoying meme to older people than I’m sure “the cake is a lie” was. I can’t imagine how incomprehensible it was for young people to call every cake a lie

Splatoon is weird in that it's the fastest game that the market can tolerate, and I'm partially convinced that the market only really tolerates it because it's a Nintendo IP. RIP Quake Live, gone too soon but never forgotten

Reading my old blogs makes me wanna write again. Feels odd though, I only want to explore topics that interest me and tear them apart to put them back together. Like how odd it is to be a programmer in a field of artists and rarely be considered a “creative.”

I’ve raised my kid entirely on Spanish, as little English as possible, and today he said “Guau” instead of “Wow” I’m incredibly proud

Reading takes by non-systems type people on how player rankings should work is as painful as reading takes by STEM bros about how modern art is pointless and dumb. Both have no experience with the subject but are utterly convinced that the problem is trivial and the creators are morons

Update: Now everyone (up to high-level) can get the chance to scrim up! I'm hoping this and the QoL changes encourage more people to join the server and scrim down as well :) #compsplatoon
