I would like to see Splatoon casters make a 90% reduction in the use of the words "fortunately" and "unfortunately." Most of the time, we know which team thinks a thing is good and which team thinks a thing is bad. Unless it was actually luck-based or the audience really may not know, it's brainrot

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

The swell in numbers that comes with a new game is the #1 reason Squid School got off the ground in the first place. Thing is, if you only start posting when it happens, the algorithm doesn't have more of your stuff to recommend after a 1st impression. Gotta post leading up to it to capitalize.

Has X rank felt significantly harder for anyone else since the new season? I'm suddenly ~300 points lower than I was maintaining last season in most modes and not feeling like I'm playing that differently. Still on Takoroka like I was last season.

Nintendo can move slow sometimes because they're a big company and the people with decision making authority are usually pretty high up the ladder, but they almost always do at least have someone at ground level that knows about the problem. Them taking action here probably saved the event series.

Boosting this again today because I would really like for conversations in
#compSplatoon
to refocus on the wider issue of sexism in our community (because even though I think we can say it is in general better than in other gaming spheres, it's obviously still a problem here).

I do also want to note that right now, we don't have a good way of privately handling problems with a head tournament organizer. Third-party safety organizations, like the past SSC, were also supposed to protect players from TOs who weren't treating players with respect.

Something I learned from the AZ Melee scene while I was in it was the value of keeping disputes as private as they possibly could be. If you had a problem with someone, you DMed that person and only that person about it and gave them an honest chance to discuss it with you and make corrections [1/6]

some thoughts from recent discussions in the Splatoon community: thank you to everyone sharing their experiences. it's exhausting that women have to go out of their way to constantly share proof of things in order to be believed or for the chance that some sort of action takes place.
