I want to be lean and mean.
That Cronenberg jellyfish is freaking me out. I wonder if it's supposed to be a Siphonophorae, an animal that isn't actually a single organism, but a collection of organisms that serve individual functions.

It's great that the inhabitants of the underground are all deep-sea creatures.

Old Sting Ray was useless, though. Often worse than useless, because you can't defend yourself if someone gets within shooting range of you, you can't even use subs until the Stingray bar runs out. If they were to revert it at this point they would need to make it a lot more deadly, at least for line of sight.

Old Sting Ray was fine. It was just hard to use because no one knew how to use the specials properly at the time, and you actually had to practice with that version to contribute with it. And not being able to defend yourself was one of the few downsides the special had.

She's not allowed to vote in Splatfests because none of the collective can agree on a single side and she isn't offered the right the vote multiple times instead either.

As Agent 8, the player must complete a series of ridiculous challenges to climb to the economic class that every squidkid automatically achieved. It's incredible that Nintendo has penned such a withering criticism of capitalism.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
How does someone end a match with 0 points? Is it because they dropped as soon as the match started? Because I swear I had more than one person shooting ink with me a minute ago but when we lost two people on our team had contributed nothing.

I think it also reports zero if they get kicked for AFK







I'm a bit sore right now that the only thing I can do in Salmon Run is block people but not report them for being jackasses.

Sometimes, 0p will also appear with ragequitters.

0p will appear for anyone on the losing team who disconnected during the match, no matter the reason. If you see someone on the winning team with 1000p, it means they disconnected during the match.

I see it happen almost every session I play turf war outside of splatfest. Well not RQ, but people will just drop the match if they don't wind up on the same team as their friend. Or they will spin in circles and walk around not shooting just to throw the match.

Turns out octarians may only be bad because of the hypno goggles and because Marina was present during the final splatfest of the first game, she heard some of the squid sister's music and became good.

Happy to report that I'm on team motion control after giving it another go with the sensitivity cranked way up. It feels good now, but I'm still getting used to having to tilt to look up and down.

I think I set it to around 4 out of 5, what do you guys have it on? It's night and day compared to the default sensitivity.
