youtu.be/-K9WcIAmFHM?... Good deep dive on the appeal of the Splatoon franchise

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

The day? Fathers'. The run? Big. The comps? You better believe they're silly. twitch.tv/squid_school and youtube.com/squidschool/...

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.

It's Sunday, and we're silly! twitch.tv/squid_school and youtube.com/squidschool/...

Due to a recent influx of community safety concerns IPL has received, we created a formal report system in our Discord server.

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.

youtube.com/shorts/4AoUj... I'm looking for replays to analyze in future content. See the video for details!

The creator had me at "I made Divekick" but turns out they also did game balance for even more established mainstream fighting games like KI so yeah, they know what they're talking about

very funny how splatoon 3 naturally phased out the ‘noob teammate that paints the walls’ joke as a byproduct of removing all of the paintable walls

It's time for the FIRST EVER Silly Comp Sunday to occur after LAN of 10,000 Lakes #2! twitch.tv/squid_school and youtube.com/squidschool/...

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.

AREA CUP is currently looking for staff members to work as global liaisons. Both English and Japanese are required. Native English speakers are welcome, but applicants should have JLPT N2-level Japanese proficiency or equivalent. If interested, please contact me or the AREA CUP X account.

BlueSky decided to be down when @gemthesquid.bsky.social and I were about to go live, but the VOD is up if you missed it! We talked about all sorts of things related to conversations about games, gender, sexism, and also a lot of the struggles gender roles place on boys youtube.com/live/gQ7F4Fd...

wow guys did you know LAN of 10,000 lakes happens in MINNESOTA? :3

WoOOoooOo you want to go to LAN of 10,000 lakes this weekend WoOOOoOoOoo start.gg/10klakes ( #splatoon3 #splatoonLAN #highdivsplatoon )

they never let me know what kind of coffee they wanted💔

youtube.com/shorts/KunHJ... Some advice from your elders on what to do this weekend: #splatoon3 #LANparty

We're starting stream early this week to do a lesson before Silly Comp Sunday! All aboard at twitch.tv/squid_school and youtube.com/squidschool/...

Points at you, then points at the link below. Join us. Become a loon. You won't regret it, I promise. www.start.gg/LANof10kLakes

high/top level players aren’t holding their map open they’re flickering it knowing exactly what info they want out of it so it doesn’t really impact any other awareness because it’s literally up for like 1/4 of a second

I heard y'all, so let's do it in video form! Explaining the museum example more in depth, then giving one recommended and seemingly less conventional retake option for EVERY stage! (Sorry Popgun it's longer than 5 minutes, this game has a lot of stages) 🔗Link: youtu.be/zfjs9gKefzE

The Switch 2 gamechat should have a feature where you can replace your actual likeness with a 2D rig MiiTuber

If you've ever thought of me as smart, I would counter with the fact that I only just realized how heavily StarFox is influenced by Star Wars. Arwing...R-Wing...the framing of the planet and the music cues before the ships fly into frame in the trailer...THE NAME STARFOX...i dumb

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]

It's time for Silly Comp Sunday, the sunny day where we play silly comps! youtube.com/squidschool/... and twitch.tv/squid_school

I'm starting to get she/hered in public from the long hair

I hope this post doesn’t have an unintentional impact of taking attention away from women’s experiences and perspectives A message to the other guys in the community:

Not everyone will agree, no experience is universal, but I don't want people to think that this whole space isn't worth entering. If it weren't worth it we wouldn't be trying so hard to improve it

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.

#splcensus thank you the magnificent @zapfisk.splstrong.com for helping me with the numbers in such a short time frame! Below is a table showing indicators of discrimination based on gender identity among different groups within the community. I hope this helps support the ongoing discussion

I’m tacking on what I spontaneously yapped abt regarding this stuff on twt, the gist is that there are so many small things women get that may not seem that big of a deal at first but they build up over time to be really annoying or defeating

I've got replay codes for Winners and Grands of LCS and I am going to put my eyeballs upon them. twitch.tv/squid_school and youtube.com/squidschool/...
