    Where'd you get your username?

    I'm a passive fan of the web series "No Evil" (Go watch it it's really good I promise), and I really like the character Calamity, so I took that to use as my handle when playing Smash Bros with friends. I never even played online, so it's not like I had any particular reason to need one, but I...

    Unconscious Incompetence ("I'm so good at this!") -> Conscious Incompetence ("I know what being good looks like, and I'm not") -> Conscious Competence ("I have to really focus on this to do it well") -> Unconscious Competence ("I don't have to think as hard to do well"). Feeling like you're...

    If you're talking about skill? Well the good news is that feeling like you're doing worse at a skill suddenly is actually commonly a sign that you ARE improving! Building skills often goes through the stages, and feeling like you're getting worse just means you're more aware of where you can improve

With such a small community, individual posts...

    Like, if you look at how many posts people who have accounts dating back to Splat1 era Squidboards have that are also on the top reaction score list and the post counts of those who are from the modern era of Squidboards, it's WILDLY skewed. I'm on the top reaction score list with 166 posts...

    I won't post it because it's too long, yet not something I actually want to make a full thread on, but one fascinating part of Squidboards culture is post:like ratios and how it's changed. I've never been one for modern social media and always been more oriented towards forums, but it's really...

    What weapon/s would you play if your current main/favorite was deleted?

    I'd try and force myself back into VDaps probably? I can't play NDaps anymore, I just can not tolerate them anymore, but I want the gold badge on VDaps so that'd be at least SOME motivation to try them out... if I had to choose an ENTIRELY new weapon that I've NEVER mained, probably one of the...

    It's NEVER logged me out before at the very least lol. And if I started maidenposting you'd trust me right. All of those single women in your area. I'd never lie to you about this

    Huh, I was bizarrely logged out of my account despite not having actually ever logged myself out. Weird. Anyways, happy 1 year forum anniversary to me (And also 1 year anniversary to me having this specific tab open lol. The ONLY times the tab has been closed have been when I close ALL tabs...
