So does staring at the corner of the screen. I'd be more tolerant towards them if they ever said anything interesting but it seems like they have one line of dialogue for each map so its just an annoyance.


Which is a pretty fair assessment IMO. Reminds me of TF2 at launch, which only had 3 maps. Was fun but the lack of variety starts to get to you. On the other hand, we know for sure that Nintendo is gonna being adding more content for free so its just a matter of time.

TF2 had Granary, 2fort, Well, Dustbowl, Gravel Pit, and Hydro at launch

I forgot it was a map too lol. Like I was sitting there for a good minute thinking "i KNOW there's a sixth one" before looking it up.

I guess that's just a testament to how long its been since TF2s launch that I don't even remember all the original maps. Thought it was just 2fort, Dustbowl, and Hydro. I remembered Hydro because people were hating on it from day 1.

I saw Fury Road and bought Splatoon on the same day so I was a bit overstimulated when I drew that.

Come with me if you want to not die.
So it turns out you don't actually *have* to do any of the limited ink runs to get the sound test/rhythm game. Though they're an interesting enough challenge I guess, they're just not as fun as running through things as a kraken.

It's an "empathy button" rather than a like button, so depending on the context it changes from "Yeah!" to "Yeah?!" to "Yeah..." because Nintendo.

I'm stuck on the roller. Tried out other weapons, but I just can't seem to get a 700+ game. I've seen it done, just can't get it with something like the .96 gal despite the much better grenade.

Didn't get to play much over the weekend, only up to 16. But wow I want to walk this back. I remember one 900+ game with the Roller. With the Aerospray I had 2 in the first 5 and eventually had a 1400. I've triggered the inkstrike for 100p and hit 400 in the first 30 seconds. Then another inkstrike in the last few seconds, which counts for the final % but doesn't give people a chance to cover it up. Ridiculous.

Level 18, I like it a lot but I've only done really well with it a few times. Echolocator on a charger is great.

I still like the kelp charger and kelp scope the most. Sprinkler is so good at helping you snipe, and killer wail stops you from being overrun.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
Did anyone else run into someone with 3 star gear and just order it all over the weekend? I should be able to get the shirt tomorrow, drat thing is 30k though. I think Urchin overcharges but so far I haven't seen 3 star stuff in the stores, gotten some good 2 star things though.

Also that tip about being able to super jump to your teammates at any time is super helpful, you can also go back to the spawn point that way.

Nice. Though I'm still partial to Bombs Away. It's a great charge breaker, decoy, and pathmaker. It flushes out inklings taking cover from chargers, and it gives cover while you try to squid away.

I tried switching to the charger weapons lately. Snipers can easily be one of those players who can decide the outcome: Depending how my gyro aim is at some rounds, I can control the enemy movements easily by sniping away all those unexpecting squids. Hanging around the platform in the center area of Overpass gives me a clear view of both entrypoints. Although - if you tend to miss shots, you're next to useless if you haven't mastered inking areas with the charger. Combining those two you can easily cop +700 points per round.

After getting the scrolls in single player I at first wanted to be sad for Judd, what with him being the last cat alive, but then I realized that he was depicted in the 2000 year old scroll. So he is basically an immortal cat living in a world of fish, and is a massively important part of their society. He is living the dream.
