random thought: i see a lot of people tackle improvement as "fixing mistakes" but recently ive been thinking of it more as optimization. "i need to fix my positioning" -> "i can optimize my positioning" it reframes mistakes as opportunities to improve instead of failings as a player :> it's nice!!

People are always trying to create resources to meet a need 100% instead of using resources that are 80% of the way there. So those new things are haphazard, and only get 85% of the job done, so there's a lot of excitement, for like 2 weeks. Use the resources we have. Stop decentralizing.

Can’t win fights? X Rank -> rage requeue Struggle with coordination? Scrim -> tell team to carry you Stomping most competition but faltering against better opponents? stop complaining, most people aren't as fortunate Bad at REVIEW!? DIE. this is the mindset of winners

"if only there was someone here to help stop this push!" our reeflux in the enemy spawn:

guys it's okay they're just waiting for the NA league to be over. well get third kits after it's done. it's okay guys it's okay

ive made 3 dollars total from music production.. because my teammate bought my song for 4 dollars from bandcamp, lol. go buy music and put it on a usb drive and actually own it!! nobody can take it from you! everybody wins! besides spotify. spotify loses. (which is why they dont want you to do this)

Obligatory post along the lines of "a single purchase of a CD or vinyl or download will give your preferred artist more money than a lifetime of streaming ever will" that I post every time people start motioning towards cancelling Spotify but never actually doing it.

Lord forgive us our clips as we forgive those who have clipped against us

im doing my best o7

ok so! i played NA X rank for 3 months and this is what i learned! (short thread) - it feels.. fine? there was never a point where i noticed that the games felt "worse." - there were more games than i was expecting! there were only a few times i couldnt get a game when i was playing at odd hours

PROCHARA SAID IT SO IT MUST BE TRUE

my 180 skills on sword are finally starting to transfer to brella ✨

splatoon clips that make you feel like the main character

my bad

ok but genuinely -20% angle shooter tracking time with 1 sub of bomb defense makes me so sad. why does it do that

recreation of a dream I had

I reject the notion that "practicing down" is a waste of time. For example, when you practice around the same level or better, teams usually focusing on winning. Playing against weaker teams allows you to focus on how to KO and how to setup for big pushes. Or experiment with new ideas/gameplans.

*teleports behind you* nothin personnel, kid

the lion does not concern himself with the flank that just killed 2

I think that the recycled brella is a fun weapon to play!

so, lately ive been experimenting with the way i think about splatoon, and ive slowly been building a mental model that has really been helping me think about the game better. this is a short thread explaining the concept ive come up with: kinetic vs potential pressure.

Few mins late to getting the best view

pew pew pew

the more i play cycle brella, the more i realize just how strong it is? it was awful on launch but it's gotten huge buffs in all the areas it needed, and it's like a different weapon now. feels kinda like ds, where no sane person would ever play it but it can still win. luckily, im not a sane person

"Last time on the Splatoon 3 NA League..."

play undertale yellow. i cried so much

it's out it's out it's OUTT!!! My first single Remnition is out now on most streaming platforms! (Thanks again to @splatzparty.bsky.social for the awesome cover art! <33) links to the song are here !!! vvvv distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

i think people forget that social media is fundamentally a transaction between social media companies and advertising companies. it was never designed for us

EVERYONE GET READY TO LISTEN !! BIT IS THE GOAT WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC FR

I'm excited to announce my first single, Remnition, is releasing October 10th!! go click this for links or something i think !! vvv distrokid.com/hyperfollow/... (thank you to @splatzparty.bsky.social for the awesome cover art!! <3)

i will say, as someone whos actually releasing music soon (my first release Remnition is coming out everywhere on october 10th teehee) GO USE BANDCAMP!! directly buying songs from artists pays them soo much more, and then you have the song forever :>

the other day i hit the fucking 🧍‍♀️ into the Gone Forever

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

As we head into October, I'm so excited to share my clip challenge! I myself know I don't post enough clips, and i never see enough here on bluesky! Let's change that! Here are the 31 tasks for #Cliptober2025 ! #Splatoon3 I can't wait to see everyone pop off! (Or flop!)

SOS is wild this week

okay i need to know,, does anyone else here play cycle brella in comp?? idk if ive met another person who actually plays this thing yet

interesting thing ive been doing - ive never been able to get myself to vod review, so ive just implemented one rule: start every session by watching through one replay. i find ill always notice something even without thinking, and it usually sparks me into deeper analysis! id recommend trying it :>

i havent played it too much but so far it's literally fine..??? we'll see how things progress but theres no noticeable difference for me so far

im trying NA x rank this season, wish me luck o7 a couple top players play it, surely it cant be that bad right??

hah. see, people who complain about soloq really a- *sees that my x power corresponds to div 8* uhh ermm uhh i mean uhhh
