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 interesting looking at just how the shift towards centralized social media has impacted what remains of forum culture

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, otherwise it stays up)

I... won a 10x with Gold Dynamo. Somehow. Not well but it was the first 10x I've seen this fest and Gold Dynamo is literally the single weapon I'm worst with other than Literally All Chargers and I still managed to get the win. Damn!

Realized there's actually no reason why I couldn't or shouldn't post my Mandalorian armor. So here's an actual real life photo of me in the handmade custom armor my siblings and I built! The design is entirely made by me, but the majority of the actual construction is my siblings

THE NIGHTMARE OVER! I'm doing a SoulSilver Shiny only playthrough, and after 3,109 resets, got Bill's Eevee! She's the 6th member of my team (Team is Feraligatr/Sandslash/Beedrill/Gyarados/Skarmory), I didn't enjoy this hunt, but given that it's under odds, I will TAKE IT!

Last night I dreamt that someone here decided to post a list of most active SquidBoards members were and what plushies they thought each member would be, but they didn't know me at all, so their assignment literally read "Idk anything about them, so a Bluey plushie?"

My brother didn't believe me when I said I've been sewing plushies (Which is funny because I've literally texted him pictures), so I got to then show off the one I brought with me on Christmas vacation. Everyone admire my sillyass homemade octopus OC plushie

Being an adult is so cool. What do I want for Christmas? Well it's still toys. BUT! It's also essentials for my dorm that I can't afford. But primarily it's toys. Who wants to get me 15 stuffed animals.

Made another Octo plushie but it looks... less... good... so I'm not posting it. Instead here's a cat toy I made with a mini version of my Octo pattern. I think she likes it

I didn't buy the Side Order artbook because I find the price of importing too expensive to justify buying a book I can't read, but one of my friends did. To which their copy got delayed. And now they're messaging me every one of the sparse images from it posted on Twitter so we can both live vicariously through others

I didn't do too well at the Splatling challenge, only landing bronze, but I've also learned that I uh. I've really been sleeping on Nautilus. My first ever time playing Nautilus 79 and I got a 20:8 KDR. Damn okay!

Dapples are a fickle... fickle weapon. Just when I think it's time to drop them again and go back to a weapon that doesn't completely suck to play and is actually fun, I'm out of my loss streak and getting knockouts and triples again. Sure, why not. Truly I never know if I'm going to pop off or feed for an entire game when I play Dapples, and there is no in-between

RAAAA new icon Had no motivation to draw something new (...plus no good ideas) so instead I just grabbed an older piece of art I'm still happy with and slapped a flag on it lol

Another plush! This one is the best I've made so far in my opinion, I think I got the shape JUST the way I wanted!

The purple plushie was in my last post of my sewing shenanigans, but TOO BAD she's getting posted again, to compare between her and my newest one! Also because they're a package deal do not separate

TODAY OF ALL DAYS THEY NERF FIZZY. I haven't played in like a month because I've been bogged down with school and with increasingly exhausting art projects (Sewed more plushies, forced myself to try digital painting!), but today I FINALLY got back to playing! Aaaand they're explicitly nerfing Fizzy being thrown to harass backliners </3

The squid plush I made for my friend finally got shipped out today!! Super excited for him to see it, I've completely avoided telling him what it is, so it'll be fully a surprise!

Got maybe a little wild for the past week and made a bunch of plushies. Just maybe. One is my OC, one is a gift I made for a friend of his OC, and then two are beanbags I made with the leftover scrap fabric with the stated purpose of being "very throwable", as my mother put it

I've forgiven Dapple Dualies. <Won several games with vdaps, including two fistbumps in a row
