People who want xQc in our community really sound like "oh yeah we should dump more oil into the ocean because it would increase the total amount of liquid there and also it would stop all of the other shooter game players from saying we drink too much clean and unflavored water on twitter dot com"

I LOVE SHRIMP!!!

Oh boy I can't wait for tonight!

I may be two days late to the X power conversation but I think that if we want to use it we should take the average power between all 4 modes and not just zones

A belief I have held for such a long time is that the vast majority of people at the vast majority of levels do not understand the game's fundamentals in the slightest and the only reason they never get punished for it is because their opponents don't either

Filling ink vac all the way should prevent the user from firing the big shot at the end

Ink Storm is the bigget loser of the S3 kit lottery and it isn't even close. There are two (2) guns that want to use this special beyond "paint more of floor," and we got the dreaded bomb+missile pairing on a shooter before a bomb+storm on anything and it's been 3 and a half years. Justice for storm

Shoutout Yuvi got 2nd in Jounrey's End (I love terraria) Shoutout Yuvi and @mel0mania.bsky.social for running this tourney!

I think Painbrush is incredibly underrated in the current meta because oh my god that weapon can get away with war crimes

Shoutout splatana wiper rust for having the single most nothingburger kit in the entire series

Terraria Master mode Hardcore complete on the first attempt lol. Shoutout to Chocopero (character name) and the Phoenix Blaster

Maybe it's just the greasy and slimy Smash Ultimate player in me talking but trying to learn RoA2 has made me absolutely despise floorhugging as a mechanic

Sort of a Splatoon post but Smash Ultimate's iteration of Inkling has both some of the most interesting ideas for a character but also some of the most mediocre execution of those ideas

I'm glad GG proved that ink vac is still a massive fraud

I feel like the several sagas of people picking up v96 for a week and then dropping it is the perfect summary of why I particularly despise this meta. The stuff that is good right now is so low effort, simple, yet highly rewarding to the point that it's more interesting to look at how clips go wrong

As much as I dislike the kit system overall, the dev absolutely nailed the two flingza kits. Even if they aren't the best in comp, making the same main weapon feel like each of its attacks are for a different purpose based on which one you use is such a good example of what most kits should be like

Splatoon 3 dares to say "we want a short range meta" without actually asking if having a short range meta is a good thing or not

Waypoint will be playing in the NA League this season, and we're bringing a new friend along for the ride! Please welcome @lunacatnip.bsky.social to our roster, and thank @kuroooishere.bsky.social for this amazing artwork!

I like it when there is movement in my movement shooter. If only there was more of that

The meta right now is if everyone was playing a different version of Painbrush but also if there is a liter playing Duck Hunt in the corner and kept making it everyone elses's problem

IT'S FINALLY TIME. THE STARS HAVE ALIGNED. MERCURY IS NOT IN RETROGRADE. COME WATCH PLEASE.

This was by far the most fun I've ever had playing this game, and hearing "go to your LANs" truly didn't do the experience justice. A huge thank you to @littlepetfrog.bsky.social for hosting the event, my team for being goated, and everyone who attended. See you all in a few months for LCS!

I'd be fine with heavy 210p as the only nerf to that gun if there was a second change where failing to get a wave within a full ink tank causes the user to instantaneously explode

Sword players in S3 evolving to radiate the same energy as the Palutena mains is an event that must be studied in a lab

I think the Cactus montage competition has only reaffirmed my belief that Splatoon players are obsessed with making the world's most cluttered and hard to follow montages out of any competitive game community I've seen for literally no reason

Cblast being in genuine contention for the best weapon in the game may hint at the fact that we are in the funniest possible timeline

I think it's baffling how many issues with Splatoon 3 would be solved instantly with skill-based matchmaking that actually works. It's not like the queue times aren't already several minutes long already

Hollow Knight Pantheon 5's first try ended with me dying 3 bosses away from the end. I am sad

Nintendo saying "yeah rapid pro was accidentally nerfed but we were planning to do that anyway so we'll keep it in the game" is so incredibly funny

Recent events have further solidified my theory that I improve the fastest by being thrown off a cliff and told to fly

Running LUTI speed ladder on Valentine's Day as the first ever not-single elimination format will revolutionize the competitive scene

I would like to thank Nintendo for demonstrating why the S3 maps suck for the 8 billionth time by reintroducing S1 dynamo. Turns out that implementing a weapon made for bigger maps with more alternate angles that loves to throw tsunamis down narrow hallways makes it really good

Why is bucket absolutely massive now? This is like if Nintendo listened to all of the Palutena players who kept saying she was a mid tier and casually doubled the size of all her moves

Unfortunately, after rigorous testing (one game of open), stealth jump is still looking like a mandatory part of all builds

I feel like while everyone gets used to aiming on a smaller squid hitbox we have all regressed to A rank weapon select and are using big hitbox guns because it's easier to hit a circle than a line

Bow mains on their way to clip sequences that don't even end with activating flow aura

Unfortunately due to the adjustments to the Stealth Jump ability in Version 11.0.0, it may take Waypoint (except Wings) up to 20% longer to play with their full roster than initially anticipated. We apologize for the inconvenience.

magyk: have you ever had cookout? me: i mean kinda but i can’t eat much there because i don’t eat meat magyk: oh that’s right it’s because you’re a lesbian (he meant to say vegetarian. i’m fucking crying)

it appears Public Anemone is going by different aliases?

Splatoon needs more weapons designed like stamper but also more weapons designed like vcarbon

I don't know how the devs managed to make 96 an actual affront to game design while being just funny enough to be used. Like, what do you mean this thing only has a 20% chance to paint its own feet?

I think Splatoon should have an option like Cloak and Dagger Spy so I can just observe casual players interact in the wild without having to engage

Wait this is a timer?

A pencil player walks into a bar, waits for 72 frames, and then orders 5 shots

8s is a very serious practice environment

An S-blast player walks into a bar and realizes there is no counter

okay guys i mightve cooked with this one... this is a team photo for @waypointspl.bsky.social! thank you for your support and interest :) [ #edit #splatoon #compsplatoon ]
