When I play video games my cat crawls into my arms and turns himself into a pillow for me. He is a good cat.

My other cat meanwhile bounces around with this cute dumb look on her face and tries to party with my lazy dog.

One of my cats sits and paws me when I play. She is petting me, she wants pettuns back. Cats are cool and good.

You know what I'd like? I like playing Krak-on roller, but I never know exactly where to put the beacons. I'd love to see a map with the good spots marked out.

I'd also like people to use my beacons. That's what they're there for! Use! Use!

I rock those headphones because it gives me Ink Saver Main on the least useful gear slot; I also wear headphones a lot in real life. Ditto for hoodies so I have an excuse to wear the Ninja Squid hoodie other than min-maxing

I'm going to confess something important.

I used to live with both a cat and a dog. The cat would never stop scratching at my door and getting his fur all over my stuff. The dog wouldn't stop barking loudly and could never decide if it wanted to stay inside or outside and never responded to my calls.

Truth be told, I hate cats and dogs with a passion. Every relative I have has one or the other and they always bring them with them during family get-togethers and they do nothing but be annoying and loud and crawl all over me and ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH :argh: :unsmigghh: :flame: :fuckoff: :killdozer:



Basically what I'm saying is I only went with Team Cat because I despite cats slightly less than dogs.

Had a crazy Port/Tower match earlier where we actually stopped the tower at 1 on our side, fought it out for 4 more minutes, and then had some miracle moment at the end with everyone on my team being alive & all of them dead which let us push the tower in for a knockout in overtime. Everyone had their specials ready to go at the same time to it was magical.

Independence day is the event that is most like the Japanese festivals that splatfests are intended to signify.

But they should have done it on the fifth.

You might get 2 shells, but I don't know if you had to have shown up for those or not.

I have come to learn that this is nothing more frustrating then watching your squid pals swim all the way to the splatzone when you've already put down a beacon.

I rarely jump to a beakon that's right in the splat zone, because the splat zone is always getting shot at, except sometimes on port mackerel.

My housemates own two dogs and a cat. Never really had pets before so I thought they'd be nice to have around before I moved in, but since then I had to put up with them barking at the neighbours, yowling in the middle of the night, pooping in the kitchen and leaving fur all over my stuff. Might be to do with my housemates being really irresponsible with them, but it's soured me on the whole pet ownership thing. Glad I just had to pick between Rock or Pop.

I don't even know what to do with all these seashells, guess I'll upgrade the newbie outfit to three slots and mess up some gas maskers rofls.

Awesome!

That's why you've got to be smart with beakons. Usually behind a wall is decent enough, though the oil rig map has two pillar things just behind the splatzone. People seem to rarely look up there, so that's a great place for one.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

Salt Spray is one of my favorite tower control maps. There, I said it.

I usually place it further back, behind the inflatable thing over there. Harder to get to, and requires the enemy divert attention for longer to mitigate it.

When are Splat Zones and Tower Control going to be playable in non ranked? I want to be able to play with friends, but also the "losers get no gold" really crushes my balls. Like I don't care about my rank at all, it's just there to keep me matched with people roughly around my skill. But earlier today I played a splat zone match on skatepark where the timers at the end of the five minutes were 88 and 82. It was such an even match that nobody could hold onto both points for very long. It was actually pretty cool! Until it turned out that, since I lost, I only got about 40 gold.

I want to play fun modes but I still have weapons and gear that need purchasing. :sigh:

Oh yeah, there was this other tower control match where everyone on my team, me included, kept getting blown up by opposing ink mines on the tower.

I think if you ink a Mine it'll blow up without having to get close. If I'm not just misattributing things and this is the case, then you want to always try and ink the top of the tower before getting on it yourself.

Inking it will reveal it, but you gotta shoot it a bit more to pop it I think.

Using a beakon to get the enemy away from the splatzone sounds like a good idea, actually. I should try that.
