Oh hello. I started the game this morning and found a new Splatfest waiting for me.

I don't know what I pick. I like snowmen better I guess but I hate being cold.

Sandcastles are a fleeting moment of crumbling fortifications compared to the entire Winter of Snowmen reigning in triumph :colbert:

I can make sandcastles year round, anywhere I want. I can make snowmen once a year, assuming snow even drops. While you're waiting for snow, I've already taken over your lands with the Sand Army.

You can actually build sand castles, but in my experience snowmen are usually just lumps of hard snow tacked together to try and sorta make it look like balls stacked together.

You gotta do it when the snow is sorta wet, otherwise it's not sticky enough.

Sandcastles are a bitch to make, how are you going to defend your country with sandcastles from a whole armada of snowmen?

Check-mate, sand people. :colbert:

Sandcastles are usually destroyed by water.
Snowmen are made of water.
Room-temperature water can melt sand beams!

I'm going snowmen but I'll be away during splatfest so... probably won't get play.

So uh,
sandcastles is going to be the popular choice because of where the majority population of North American Splatoon players live,
right?
Snowmen is the arbitrage bet this time
right?

gently caress you that failed me like ten times in a row. I want to be the jerkbag who doesn't pick sandcastles based on knowing in my heart snowmen are boring. I need the arbitrage bet to get the most expected value out of time put into maxing splatfest power/score/whatever it is called now.

If you're asking which choice is the try-hard choice that'll match you up with other try-hards, than it's probably going to be Snowmen.

Oh, I guess that thing where you don't get awarded any snails if you take too long to start the game is still a thing. I finally end up on the winning side of a Splatfest and I get exactly zero snails

"Team Snow(handsome)man is so perfect (usually in appearance) that it is too much for me to handle." or something of that effect.

She's saying that, after the young person gibberish Callie spouted in favor of snowmen, she doesn't want to side with her.

According to urban dictionary's third or so definition it means "perfect", like (actual example from urban dictionary) Zayn from one direction is so fleek.

Or, according to definitions one and two, either how a mexican says flick and simply gibberish.

Japan's getting a Splatoon zine-ish thing on March 23; it'll include lots of info/data from the game as well as celebrity interviews (the Attack on Titan author, members of America Zarigani and Kirin, various voice actors), developer commentary, listings for merchandise and fan works, etc. http://www.famitsu.com/news/201603/14101321.html

Here's a drawing from the mag by Attack on Titan author Hajime Isayawa
