Ended up caving and just buying Trails in the sky remake now. will probably make a thread with all my opinions after each chapter but I like it so far (just finished the prologue but i need to sleep for class). also the remake is making it feel not as slow as the OG with the Voice acting.

whoever RBG leon is in X rank PLS uninstall bro I'm so serious

I have played like 0 SendouQ this season (Idk why) but probably will at least calc at some point

Gonna pick up trails in the sly remake and probably binge the whole series at some point (waiting to finish silksong and some other stuff) might do like jrpg 2026 or something there are a ton of them I wanna play but been busy

didnt post my thoughts on the direct but I enjoyed it just think that these weren't necessarily the games I'd expect to be shown for the Switch 2s first year but also I suspect most bigger teams need a extra year to have stuff done (like xenoblade, new 3d mario, new mainline kirby).

Bold of nintendo to run 8 weeks for a league but only you top 5 placements matter so maybe it wont be that bad

That was a great set for the final Squid junction

Listen, having individual orgs investigate their own player bans cannot be an option. I know several org leaders who are minors. It’s extremely irresponsible as a community to expect children to investigate some particularly heinous cases. We NEED a group of adults dedicated to that, SSC or not.

Please take the time today to listen to the TO's and other community leaders who are speaking about their experiences today, there have been many times their voices do not get the attention and respect they deserve and we have lost too many people good people already, I'd like to not lose more.

Being targeted due to my role in this community lead me to serious points of self-harm twice. I am not the only one. Your TOs are suffering. Because we are being left to clean up the bullshit that you won't hold your peers accountable for. The truth matters.

the splat safety stuff is funny because you can tell who actually watched the video and whose just mad because its splat safety.

We created a song cover of 'Komm, Susser Tod' for Squid Junction 100! This was a very ambitious project, we hope you enjoy! ... and we hope you sign up for Squid Junction 100 on Saturday 23rd of August at 7pm ET/1pm CEST! Bracket: sendou.ink/to/2329/regi... Full orchestra credits down below ⬇️

I'm not great at statements for stuff like this, nor should my voice be the the main one for this discussion today, but I wanted to briefly speak on the tournament situation today. If anything is unclear or needs clarification please let me know in the replies and I will try to clarify.

mfs deadass get on SendouQ to sit in queue bro

Pfp change! Won it from a giveaway by @ticartoonist.bsky.social and it looks sooooo good!

7.3 FF14 msq is probably my favorite story since 5.3 so glad they’re finally going back to old 2.3 plotlines

honestly this topic probably deserves its own discussion/video because just rewatching the vods I see so many small scenarios where playing to win rather then not lose just wins the game and I've had this issue with western comp for ages so expect something within the month on this topic

From a TOs perspective, one thing I'd think would help close the gap a lot is hosting more events where Japan plays, allowing for more exposure to that style of play. I also felt like this when I was playing at a high level years ago, but imo western players are way too slow individually. (1/X)

oh shoot its august welp tetra (and dapple since I wanna learn it) month begins

Reason I main tetras is because in S2 X rank I got diffed by I think the best JP tetra at the time and got so tilted I said “This shit is easy I’ll play it myself” and thats how i ended up maining a top 7 hardest weapons

Also think in August im gonna try doing Tetra only for a bit (I want to see if the copium is real with the right comps/time investment)

Im now even more of a unc (I turned 23 today)

www.twitch.tv/carboneden Playing Baja's blast with UNCs (pickup) come hang

UNCS got 5th in SoS as seed 24!! @okwoke.bsky.social “naut” @plusandstuff.bsky.social “god damn im washed” @bahablast.bsky.social‬ “UNC STILL GOT IT” me: can’t win a set without 19 deaths @litblurocker.bsky.social‬ “👴” ggs to everyone we faced!!

Got 5th in SoS GW, first tourney in 2ish yeahs solo vdualie/twinkle

first impressions on Stent + Twinkle dualie comp: - Feels good to play on a base level - Lockouts are oppressive if you get set up you can unironically 100-0 people with the amount of stalling - I don't know what 4th weapon should be (this comp needs pencil to function) - Retakes are a bit weaker

Thoughts on SuperJump 5: - Froz-n Pro is a top 5 weapon and the best "support" - Dualies either need to theory craft more or are falling off - Mint is broken and beats bucket + sblast - Pencil still best cooler by a decent amount - Hypernova comp is interesting and I think with tweaks is meta

The 30 new weapons added to Splatoon 3 have been a lot of fun! but 1 of them stuck out to me in particular, the Planetz Big Swig Roller. It's made me think more about Swig as a whole, and how I've always thought it's better than people think! So let's talk about it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PITE...

feel like I'm reaching point with splatoon now where I probably need to start scrimming but I don't really know how to reach out to my old top level/high level connections to see if people wanna play. Kinda just need to ram my head into a really good scrim to have something to vod review.

5 pages for just the Splattershot Jr guide as a rough draft (this is just the first kit I gotta factor in custom and the eventual 3rd kit) I'm excited to get this project running but jesus I need to lower these shits down hopefully or accept these videos as a base line are gonna be 50-60 mins long.

Bro splatoon is fucking hard compared to when I last was active but I'm slowly getting it. Also doesn't help I'm learning Twinkle dualies as a new main but I kinda like this support/dive hybrid role

No way sendouQ crashed LMAO

I highkey fuck with new wiper this shit is FUN

Stamper is the straight white male of this fucking game it got 3 FUCKING GOD KITS BRO

I'm free...

Also nintendo PLS give Chara a good dread kit I do not wanna see the crash out if that shit has like line marker/chumps

perish trap

Nintendo MIGHT get me to comeback to comp if that dualie squechlies is good

www.twitch.tv/carboneden Streaming some Mario Kart World and vibing hop in (I will stream more often now)

Average Western player

The big event that I’ve been hinting at will be revealed next week. Our goal is to get more viewership than LCS, which is the #1 viewed Splatoon event so far this year on Twitch outside Japan. Falco’s crew raised the bar, and we want to set it even higher. We got the right event to do just that.

Hot take I might make into a video: too many tournaments killed the tournament scene. We are seeing the likes of tournaments that have been around for years barely gain any entries. We are seeing new tournaments pop up every two weeks or so and run with only 4 teams in it. Thread 🧵

There’s no easy way to say this but Tommy (Gamer) took his life earlier today. Tommy was one of my best friends. A genuine, devoted, kind, loving soul. I’m grateful to have been able to spend so many years with you. I’m grateful we were able to talk so much.

Switch 2 obtained we move

Great games, greater sacrifices 💸

lowkey the switch 2 pricing info killed all the hype/good will for this console (I'm still getting one day 1 I saved up expecting to spend this much). Also $80 games just means GTA6 might deadass be 100+ bucks and it'll still sell 50 million units.
