I like to think most of the people I mentioned in my post have become more empathetic, kind people in the years since these occurrences have taken place. I am also an adult who has had to unlearn bad behavior (and continues to grow every day) so I know that people have the potential to be better.

If you're around New York and love watching Splatoon, be sure to pop in to meet other fans in the commmunity. And while you're at it, why not take a look at our booth 🫧

Hey guys! I feel like I've been seeing a lot of people having difficulty sorting out their Splatoon Schedules given all of the events going on, so I figured I'd make a chart (catered to North America) so you can keep an eye on what events are happening simultaneously and plan accordingly!

The weight of these stars are about to burst into action! Please welcome Gravity, who will be competing at Big Dapple 10! These legendary players will be bringing their all this weekend! Who will be strong enough to take them on?

TO's hate them, players fear them! Coming to Big Dapple 10 to delay the LAN as much as possible please welcome LAN Destrouyers! With a strong roster capable of taking on some powerful teams, will they go the distance or will forgetting their switch end their run before it starts?

A team that has become a staple to Big Dapple and is a fan favorite will be competing once again at Big Dapple 10! Please welcome Malibu Rising! Their consistent improvement shines bright, with Topic joining their forces, how far will they rise?

hello if you are a splatoon artist that has something open starting with c and ending with ommissions would you mind commenting? there is not enough artwork of my deedling in the world. feel free to point me to people you know as well

Today I'm releasing a minor update to Inksight that aims to add clarity to MMR and X Power, and also adds a new stat "Time Alive (%)". This accounts for Tacticooler and Quick Respawn, so it would tell a better story than raw K/D ratio. Check it out! 🔗 hana.lol/inksight

Pop-LANtis itinerary update- we got a busy season ahead of us! With Seabattle completed, we are on the way to Big Dapple this Saturday! The following week we will be at BOTH Dont Flounder AND Sunset Surge 🔥 And finally in May, we are thrilled to share that we will be at MOMOCON!! More info soon 🫧🍑

We are 1 WEEK AWAY from the Big Dapple 10! Here's a look into our schedule we have planned for the event! Our menu looks delicious, let's break it down! Once doors open and players/teams check-in, They'll be aiming to win as many matches as possible to land in Bronze, Silver or Top bracket!

With Piko stepping down, we’d like to introduce @glitchedcactus.bsky.social as a new member of the team! He brings his experience in marketing, video editing, and most importantly, a passion to support the Metro Ink. community. Please welcome Cactus!

FREE AGENT POST, FINALLY. . . sorry for the lack of results I never play any comp, but I still hope you will consider me ❤️

Piko has officially stepped down from his role at Metro Ink, citing taste palette conflicts. He is moving on to become the head TO of H-Town Splashdown, where he hopes to integrate Bluefin Zones and his deranged love for Sbarro pizza into the state of Texas.
