    My class schedule is really light, because I'm not taking more than I need to be considered a full-time student, as well as the fact that one of my classes got changed to online last second. Hilariously, this means I can track how the campus wifi gets more and more use throughout the day. Directly after my morning class? Smooth as butter. In the evening? I got 4 DCs in a row

    I had fully resigned myself to not getting the new amiibo, my budget was just unfortunately too tight and I couldn't justify spending it on silly figurines... only to decide on a whim to attend my colleges trivia night and walk away with a bunch of prize money. So. SQUID FIGURINES HERE I COME

    It's not hosted often (From the sounds of it, once a year), but it was literally advertised as "Free Money Trivia Night" so... lol. Each won round (With a round consisting of 15 questions) had prize money, and so did a bunch of little challenges between. I didn't go with the expectation of winning, I mostly just enjoy trivia games, but hey! Free money is free money!

    Do you know when the new amibos are supposed to come?

    I don't unfortunately, but GameStop is where I ordered them from, and they're really good about getting items in on time, so I suspect pretty soon after release!

    Well, I don't think I'm getting the gold banner from Splatfest Shell-Out spins unfortunately, not unless they do fest reruns down the line. I'm 66 spins away, which is really close, but I average like 40 spins per Splatfest, and I'm also living on campus now and have to rely on [shudders] campus wifi if I want to play so... yeah. I get the silver title in 4 spins though!

    While I forgot to post about it here before/while it was happening, if anyone watched the GDQ Side Order speedrun yesterday, that was some friends of mine doing it, both the runner and her couch! It's a really fun run and it was SUPER cool to watch them live

    It's actually SO lame I have to be an ADULT and go to COLLEGE instead of playing squids forever. Professor I would like an excuse from all classes forever because there's squids and they live in my brain

    After 38 shifts and only TWO losses, I've now officially gotten to EVP 999 on Hydroplant! I managed to go until 840 EVP before I lost my first shift, which is BY FAR a new record for me, and this was the most painless grind I've EVER done in this game. I even managed to take down another Tri king while I was at it!

    I made 999 but still have yet to do the Triumvirate.

    Hey, congrats on the 999! That's a massive achievement! Triumvirate is already a very challenging time on it's own, but this map in particular I've found very difficult to actually get kills on thanks to the route Horrorboros takes, so hopefully you'll have a better time on different maps!

    Random teammate disconnected the INSTANT we lost lead... man c'mon that was a salvageable game until then </3

    Unfortunately, that's just the grind as it is sometimes. You just gotta remember to take deep breaths and not let the losses tank ur brain bc that's how u end up tilting. There's always a different angle to look at.

    Same. A- rank is actually difficult and I need to get good or rank down

    Yeah, it sucks to get in a loss streak, but ultimately one of the positives is that there are other options if feeling stuck. My go-to is SR, since Im consistent with it, but even then, changing up weapons or waiting for a different mode is always there. I think I'm done with PVP for a bit, the loss streak is getting to me, plus I'm planning on getting my 9s in the gold rotation, so its all for the best!

    Gamers... I have failed us (<Bought the new Hollow Knight plushie instead of preordering the new Amiibo) (I'll get them eventually but I've also been waiting for that specific character to get a plushie for YEARS and I never thought they'd actually do it)

    Saw a 333x for the first time ever and promptly lost </3

    After a painstaking 5 hour grind, I have managed to lose two separate 100xs AND a 333x. It's official, I have gone the entirety of Splatoon 3s lifespan without getting a single day 1 float photo

    I will not tilt. Tilting is the mind killer. Even if my random teammates make unfathomably terrible plays and lose us the lead I Will Not Tilt

    Just got +4.9 power. On that #grind

    Had SUCH a good two first games of this challenge, choked hard and lost the third match for my team in a single dumb play at the last moment, and then continued to flop through the next two matches. However I also pulled a Fresh card for my daily Shell-Out spin so if you think I'm about it, I'm the TRUE winner overall

    Well, it's official! Bought my nephew Splat3 and the expansion pass for his birthday! He doesn't have NSO and he's a bit too young for online games anyways, so he won't be playing any online matches, but the story mode is big enough and fun enough that I think it was still a worthwhile purchase, and he's been really wanting it for a while anyways. So... WOO!

    I take back everything I said before I hate Salmon Run. Just got a disconnect after a WON GAME that banned me for 10 minutes. I don't know WHAT has been going on lately, but I've been getting DC after DC with NO rhyme or reason, my internet is fine and I didn't have these issues before

    that's so frustrating. I once got a disconnect just as we had defeated cohozuna and I was so sad :C

    NSO is a joke. You pay for the privilege of using ancient matchmaking servers that are worse than throwing random people together in a lobby, the way Pretendo does it with their NEX replacement at the moment. There's no Splatoon servers outside of that, they just facilitate players finding each other before they play between themselves peer to peer.

    Idiotic idea in a game where you play in groups of 4 or 8 people on a portable system, with people using the worst internet imaginable to play, while having their system hammer at up to 7 random IPs. Things get even funnier when you randomly get Japanese players while playing from Europe, the latency gets insane. True P2P netcode like Splatoon is the dumbest idea, on a platform like Switch.
