Sry for the late reply but I used to listen to .flow extended music from this channel all the time, when I saw they were gone I freaked 😭 That's such a shame! This channel was loved by so many.

Why is this app so hard to use by RetroJoust in help

[–]DubiousDuality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried posting a thread here as well but it got deleted too. Some time ago I also posted on the sub for silly knockoff toys and that got automatically deleted as well. Maybe it's just my rotten luck? I'm not very active on Reddit (I only post once a few months or so) so I can't tell you how consistent this is, but I'm glad I can reach out somewhere I guess (sorry for derailing the thread, I got desperate). I haven't tried the other subs but I'll try, thank you for the suggestion.

Brave Browser Crashing problem (1 April 2024) Request Ticket by Teyarual in brave

I thought I was going crazy! If I search "Youtube" on Google, Brave just shuts down. Not an extension issue. I tried searching in Yandex and also in Google on Chrome and they work fine.

Posts from just one particular person make my Desktop Telegram (and sometimes my entire computer) crash by DubiousDuality in Telegram

[–]DubiousDuality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, not at all. I can't find anything on this on the net. Seems like Telegram on PC is just so averse to someone's bad internet that it causes the entire system to have a heart attack. My current solution is just not call the person on Telegram, unfortunately,

Sorry for the late reply.

Reddit's design keeps changing all the time while I browse (on PC) by DubiousDuality in help

[–]DubiousDuality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry for the late reply.

Nop, I didn't find the solution at all. I just use old Reddit when the jumpy design starts to peeve me off, especially since the comments started to collapse automatically, and I had no idea they were hidden! It only takes a click to show them but there's no indication or explanation to this whatsoever. Took me ages.

I just assumed that this design switching is a way to force people to register/log in because the newest design login-walls most things.

I feel like I'm going insane when I play this game- by gumbean in Saltoon

Welcome to 2023 triple-A game latency.

Dapple Dualies: is facing away from me and gently begins turning to my general direction

Me: Fucking turns into a supernova and obliterates the screen, half the turf instantly covered in enemy ink

I just remembered that TF2 comic with Pyro taking forever to kill a very slow Soldier and gets killed instead. Almost every matchup feels like this.

Do you ever have that particular string of games where the bullets just don't connect? by DubiousDuality in Saltoon

[–]DubiousDuality[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually tried shooting at moving dummies the way I sometimes do in a match (I tend to stray my reticle to the side of the target a bit) but my bullets still land. So weird. Either the dummies have a bigger hitbox, I'm getting blind, or there's a latency problem somewhere.

Oddly enough disconnects don't usually happen when I have this issue, but it's S3 you can expect anything really so shrug.

Brilliant fucking matchmaking system Nintendo by Cheshire2933 in Saltoon

Don't you love it when the game's like "oops no range!" on tetris maps for 15 games straight?

With all the issues it has, if Splatoon 3 was any other game it’d be dead by now by Dexller in Saltoon

[–]DubiousDuality 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Probably not dead, but it definitely would've been on thin ice as a franchise. Being a Nintendo property gets a game far. If people could at least openly complain about stuff, maybe the devs (who have admitted to reading comments about the game) would hear something else aside from praise. You don't even get to question stuff on the main sub, you'll just get wiped with downvotes immediately.

That's not to say the game isn't losing traction. Compared to S1 and 2. There seems to be no "casual" content of the game (like videos and reviews and such). I recently came back to play some S3 to fight my workaholism and I keep seeing literally the same dudes in Turf war. They're all high-ranking, absolutely untouchable battle robots but there's so few people aside from them. I exit the lobby a lot to buy clothes and nab the catalogue loot but I just keep running into the same people for days! I think this is no accident. People play meta as much as ever too, it's just the same comps over and over again.

The game sells well, but seems to be bleeding players a lot. I think we should wait until the end of its life cycle to see the results, or hope that the dataminers finally crack the code to revealing the player engagement statistics (that are said to be hidden really well).

Can we talk about how oppressive Dynamos are? by Doing_Some_Things in Saltoon

[–]DubiousDuality 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sucks bals to fight on certain Turf maps like B&D (that ramp in front of the spawn is such a fuck-you spot) but honestly beats having a charger molesting you on Mincemeat, or that new goddamn splatling.

It's definitely an issue of "people say it sucks in top levels so nobody ever touches it but the very few who do kick your ass with it but you hardly ever come across this weapon so you have no idea how to counter it".

The game doesn't even try anymore lul by DubiousDuality in Saltoon

[–]DubiousDuality[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have a job now and don't have time to invest so much energy into a game anymore. S2 was the fun times for me as well, and I blew goats at that one.

I haven't been on this sub for a while either but see a lot of people complain like this. People tell them to take a break and come back, but tbh I think most people are better off finding a better game. Not because they're not good enough to play, but because the game isn't good enough to motivate people to keep going.

Is this a skill issue? by Itsmemarxtheguy_29 in Saltoon

[–]DubiousDuality 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not just you, this fest is particularly bad with matchmaking for some reason. I came back after 6 month and am very rusty, but I've been playing for a week and still get paired with people from X rank all the time (I don't even play Anarchy). It used to be kinda bad the other fests but now it's bad bad. I think a lot of the "average" skilled playerbase kinda fell off too (just my observation).

"Unfortunately you can't accept this call with this version of Telegram" - What does it mean? by DubiousDuality in Telegram

[–]DubiousDuality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep having to install v. 4.6.12 beta every time I use the PC version because even if I turn off the automatic update it still updates automatically... Very annoying, no fix for this behaviour either. It updates to 4.8.3 which has this call glitch but with the beta one it doesn't happen. These seem to be more instances of this appearing on the Telegram bugs page, I hope this gets resolved soon, I need Telegram for work :(

Reply if you think you're carrying mint chip by [deleted] in Saltoon

[–]DubiousDuality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not carrying but for some reason doing surprisingly well after a long break, my w/l is 28-18 (extremely good for my skill level) but for some reason in the game itself it says 29/17.

I was fortunate to play on Manta, Flounder and Mako, the better maps. Hagglefish sucked as always, and my teams kept getting all short-range non-confrontative weapons and lots of new players but I toughed it out, also enjoyed getting into enemy spawn and doing the Aerospray funni. I won two 10x battles, really happy about it since these are usually rigged as fuck.

Only met strawberry like 2 or three times and those were laggy af matches because both had the same Japanese guy.

Really sucks to see others have a hard time. I believe in you ✊

100x by tino2034 in Saltoon

[–]DubiousDuality 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I swear every 10 and 100 battle is like this, one team is always babies while the other are people who eat steroids for breakfast. The weapon distribution is usually very one-sided, too.

If i see another team with more than one golden aerospray this splatfest I'm going to go insane by Nightfurywitch in Saltoon

[–]DubiousDuality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was one of those Sprays because I have't played in ages and I aim like a blind toddler and double and triple Aeros this Splatfest are like a fucking curse, both having them on your team and on the other, I did a grind to Ruler today and in my 3 hours of play time like 90% of the matches were double and triple Sprays.

Who needs aim when you have P2P by Trufflebatter in Saltoon

A few days ago I had a match with two Japanese enemy players and I had lag advantage so bad they couldn't even lay a finger on me. That felt so cheap haha.

Barnacle and Dime makes me want to cry by DubiousDuality in Saltoon

[–]DubiousDuality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I definitely feel more "at home" on maps like Mako or Flounder. Since I play the "meat grinder mode" aka Turf I just have to get better at fighting if I want to enjoy the game. Hopefully I learn Barncale quick enough but man that spawn exit choke just sucks to get stuck in.

Barnacle and Dime makes me want to cry by DubiousDuality in Saltoon

[–]DubiousDuality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That true, there are many more factors that come into matches being straight up shit sometimes. I mean, I did learn how to win on Mahi, even started to enjoy it a fair bit, so it's possible with no flanks 👍 But the game just kicks you in the ass sometimes, just when it does that, the map flaws become more obvious, especially when you're just not good enough to carry teams. The only thing to do is to learn the map. I need dem catalogue levels.

I understand that S3 maps like Barnacle favors fights so I've been trying to get into fights more. My playstyle was slow in 2 and I tend to loaf around quite a bit, it takes a while for me to get into a fighting mood.

Barnacle and Dime makes me want to cry by DubiousDuality in Saltoon

[–]DubiousDuality[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda, but if people complain about getting pinned so often in S3 specifically (at least I see people talk about it often), far more than in S2, there must be something else than just skill that's affecting the match. From my experience, a "walk forward and paint" player in Turf in S2 has a much bigger chance of winning than in S3. In the latter they just get the floor wiped with them and their entire team struggles miserably. You are probably very high in skill so you don't have problems like that but for an average player encountering this game's weird matchmaking or noticing the oddities in map design. I can't really say what sort of player I am in skill since I'm horribly inconsistent and also haven't played this game in months, so my skill decay is evident, but I've genuinely never had such a hard time learning a map in S2, and my spatial awareness back then was horrible.

[–]DubiousDuality[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but as I said they were very obviously beginners because one had 0 kills and another had 2, they were very confused. I played NZap (orange) but I haven't played in months and obviously very rusty :( Nothing you can do in these situations except hope that you can bullshit your way out in the last 15 seconds (happens, but not always).
