accidentally checked splat twit, heavily regret

Controversial take: You have to actually try in order to get better at things. Jkjk I think most ppl know this to an extent but sometimes it feels like people forget the fact that hard work and sacrifices are needed to get the results they want. This is abt splatoon but also applies everywhere.

Can’t win fights? X Rank -> write notes between games Struggle with coordination? Scrim -> discuss with team Stomping most competition but faltering against better opponents? Open Level Tournament -> VOD review Bad at REVIEW!? Seek Coaching -> implement in PRACTICE

Smth I don't give myself credit for is that I have gotten WAY better at being in leadership roles All the way back in like 2022 I started by staffing Artifact (furry art server, was administration) and the r/yugioh discord server Nowadays, I staff Stronghold, captain FEP + some SBA teams, etc

Complain about your avenues to get good practice if those methods don’t serve you, but unless your skill is super ultra-far beyond where your results or merit is, there is definitely a good place for you to practice

Quickly adding my thoughts to the practice discussion: Practice puts your improvements in CONTEXT and exposes WEAKNESS Review seeks to understand CONTEXT and provide SOLUTIONS. This can be vod review or just post-game reflection. The former is the means to the latter, analysis is EVERYTHING

Mfw even the cheapest apartment here is over 60% of my paycheck AUGH I JUST WANT MY OWN SPACE IS THAT SO HARD

The comp splatoon scene has talked a lot about solo q getting you fast, frequent games for practice, but there’s an additional underutilized benefit: You can vod review any game you want, *immediately* after playing it. That’s either impossible or impractical with all other forms of practice.

1: for those requesting unbiased, always available practice with ZERO gatekeeping 2+3: for those desiring practice with opportunity to fight better players who can't say no 4: for those seeking consistent long-form team practice against consistently challenging opponents #compsplatoon

don't rlly have a take on the 8s/gatekeeping discussion happening but what I will say is that this is the kind of problem where you will always fail to please someone and I don't think its necessarily a bad thing that some people are not happy - its all a matter of perspective

For the first time in ever I have $1000 saved ($850 in bank $150 in cash) YAYYYYYY

Hello #compsplatpon friends with ADHD or similar struggles: how do you stay focused in games? I find that my biggest challenge is my own ability to pay attention. My mind wanders to and I go on autopilot. I have a couple of things that I do which I will list below but I’d like to hear others too.

I'm a drug addict and I'm relapsing

thinking about making a teampost looking for +1 pen and one of the things that will be listed is "doesnt hate playing pen" because you can tell when a backliner begrudgingly used it and it lowkey effects their play if you dont like your weapon you cant be a nerd about it and being a nerd = improve

i also felt this way when everyone in the comp splat community was acting like splatoon alone invented bad netcode and having bad maps in a modern shooter call of duty (peer 2 peer also btw) used to make way more new maps and everyone hated them so they gave up and just rerelease the same maps lol

TRIPLE COOLER

corbeaus battle theme in legends za is the best and its not even close

my favorite thing to do in warriors games is ignore the objective and spend 20 minutes capturing all the keeps that are clearly so out of the way they aren't going to be encounter relavent only for the game to delete them later on in the same mission

Rare #fursuitfriday pic Starting to fall apart unfort and idk how to fix :<

Yayyy

FUCK I HAVE PNEUMONIA

Going to urgent care bc this is the third day in a row I've had to call in sick and I might get fired if I don't have documentation This week is not my week 😅

www.academia.edu/34821396/Ins... would rec ppl give this a read when you get a chance

honestly, not sure about this take A third-person movement-heavy team shooter with many avenues for personal (in the creative sense) and skill expression? I'd be surprised if it *wasn't* played competitively Though I would like to hear a further elaboration if possible

heehee axe go chop

Today I was planning to get a bunch of things done and be super productive... - Transmission in my car died - Nearly 2 extra hours of traffic in the city for no reason - Took me 30 minutes to find parking for work Things are going GREAT so far

#gratitudejournal -think I'm sick bleh, have sick days to use though so its more like a 4 day weekend for me -okay scrim yesterday, was iffy at a couple points but rep wants to talk abt some stuff tonight that hopefully should get us all on the same page -been feeling more confident in x recently

In today's update: - standings (both on tournament page and user profile) for tournament with many starting brackets, notably CCA - more tournament maplist generation algorithm work (main problem I was trying to fix was repeated maps in single mode tournament) #sendouink

made this edit while watching a frankly dog ass video essay

A lot of team recruitment posters I see say "minimal tilt", "no tilt", etc. When are we gonna get a team asking for maximum tilt? Where are the people willing to throw a chair after winning OR losing? #highdivsplatoon

CHAT I'VE FIGURED OUT HOW THEMES WORK WE'RE SO BACK

I think i've got the general structure of tentakeel outpost down! The forum isn't open for registration and won't be for a while, but if you wanna look at it in its default glory be my guest tentakeeloutpost.boards.net #compsplatoon for suggestions, as always. it'll be our board after all :)

Interaction slop (no I did not steal this from spfdark what are u talking about ;>)

Came out as NB to my mom yesterday,thankful I have family that supports me. Hopefully gonna start on HRT sometime soon!

Now live: discord.gg/FVjEenQpsU we'll see how this works out, and it's also open to people around mid-level who want to help, as we have a role for you :) #compsplatoon

I did the numbers (thank you @ariikitty.bsky.social :)) 42.8% of people are in their 20s (20-29) 49.5% are 19 or younger (>19) the trace amount of 30+ year olds being small (less than 8%)

The data itself says that most of the community (57%) is 20 or under, I think aux is just wrong here The comp community (left) is *SLIGHTLY* older on average than the entire surveyed population (right) however even within the comp community it is fair to say <20s are a majority or near majority

would any low-level teams be interested in a program where you'd scrim a mid-level team and receive coaching after the session? I especially want to hear from those around D7 or D8, as I think facing anything further down the comp ladder would fall off in terms of effectiveness #compsplatoon

Players constantly forget that Splatoon TOs do this for the love of the game. There is no money to be paid, and recognition doesn’t mean anything either. Keep treating your TOs like shit, and they’ll just leave to do something else.

Further drafting how a potential evolution of the tournaments subs feature could look like. Feel free to comment about your potential use-cases. #sendouink

#gratitudejournal -found a broken healthy food for me (chicken fried rice w/peas and carrots) easy to cook & budget friendly while also being extremely nutrient filled - reached a new all time x rank peak yesterday - did some open with teammates and had a bit of fun practicing callouts

I am raising the line

📌Heya, I'm Radha! I'm an Irish Splatoon player and community contributor! I'm a Director for @splstrong.com I do Interviews for @broadcastbeep.com, and for my own Youtube channel! www.youtube.com/@IsMiseRadha My main goal is to platform important voices to inject the scene with personality ❤️🔁➕

I’m pioneering a new playstyle called “ultradive” where you just jump straight off the map from spawn #compsplatoon #highdivsplatoon

Minor #compsplatoon annoyance/PSA: If you have a team on Sendou, please just at the bare minimum fill in some info on your team bio. As someone who likes to gain intel about my opponents, literally what is the point of being secretive about your results? People can see it plain as day anyways. 🧵

When I had someone pop into my SendouQ VC and preach about Jesus saving us for half a minute, they never said anything about curing my autism 😭 Glad to finally have the full picture ty unknown13-gi5rq, I love fluorescent lights and unspoken social cues now!

they call me double 0 7

Genuine question - would players be willing to be interviewed mid-tournament? I think this is a great idea, but want to know if players would actually do it live between sets before diving deeper. Similar to how ESPN pulls the coach for a quick interview between quarters.
