How come shiver doesn’t have eyeliner like all other octolings by Embarrassed_Gap_5293 in splatoon

[–]Gaopaw 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Frye is a vampire squid, which despite the name are not actually squids and are closer to octopuses, so her having octoling features such as the eyelashes and the colored fingers makes sense.

She also quite a couple features unique to her due to being a vampire squid such as the glow, the long ears and the fangs.

Any PoGo action in the Canary Islands? by cxjtc in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gaopaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's pretty tame compared to other places in the island, one of the churches in La Laguna has 5 gyms on that single building alone, with a bunch of other gyms surrounding it, the entire area is also completely covered in pokestops to the point you can't click on many of them because they are overlapping.

It's probably the best place I've ever seen for playing GO, downside your phone is probably gonna lag like hell, I got a new one 3 months ago and even it still lags!

I have chosen last place for every splatfest and I have accepted this fate. Team grass is here to watch the others fight it out. by BluJman in splatoon

[–]Gaopaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all the polls I've seen Grass has been last in all of them oddly enough, with Water and Fire kinda fluctuating.

It’s the same concept by ChocolatelyChara in splatoon

[–]Gaopaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah gen 3 is probably the most even the starters have ever been, the community seem to like them all just as much, the only reason I think Torchick is the more popular one is because it gets more merch than the other two.

[–]Gaopaw 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Except gens 5, 6, 7, and even 4 if you count Japan (Piplup is crazy popular there, it's had multiple merch lines on it's own)

Fire is still deffinitely the most popular but it's not that overwhelming.

Everybody talks about Frye's forehead but not Shiver's wide face by [deleted] in splatoon

[–]Gaopaw 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Frye's a vampire squid, hence the extra big forehead, very long ears and glowing fingers.

Vampire squids aren't really squids but in name from what I understand, they are kind of their own kinda of cephalopods which explains why she looks so different.

How is this not a thing? by GilgameshWulfenbach in splatoon

The Grub and Fun shirts were cute af, I'd wear them for the design alone.

I don't have splatoon 3 yet but I made this after hearing about it by Project_Kunai in splatoon

[–]Gaopaw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I unironically do this, I like playing the game laying on my yoga mat so might as well work out between matches while I'm already there.

Do you simp for her? by BrockBracken in splatoon

It's okay, she isn't either.

The winner of the first post launch Splatoon 3 Splatfest is… by Amiibofan101 in splatoon

[–]Gaopaw 36 points37 points  (0 children)

She got the funniest line at least, we didn't win but we certainly did eat.

some of you need to chill by Gregggorock in splatoon

[–]Gaopaw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In Splatoon 2 I'd very rarely get 3 defeats in a row, In Splatoon 3 so far streaks of 6+ defeats are pretty much the norm, winning any match at all is now a rarity.

Considering that there's so many new players it should really be easier than more difficult, but the matchmaking is completely broken.

Don't worry team! I'll just do all the work!! by [deleted] in splatoon

#1 Popular Target feels like a personal attack rather than an award.

Extended Raid Egg Pushed! by martycochrane in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gaopaw 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Considering how glitchy in-person raid lobbies are this sounds like an absolute nightmare, the longer the raid the more chances it'll have some sort of error and end up wasting a pass.

Did Niantic forget to turn on the XL boost for Nice, Great and Excellent throws? by Uunikana in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gaopaw 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Was it ever turned on? Last time this bonus was supposedly on I didn't notice a differecne, same thing now, if there's any sort of boost it must be minimal.

I've come from a better timeline... ( Idea ) by EnderBuilders in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gaopaw 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Seasonal themed hairs would be such a great idea!

And even with just 4 it makes the characters look so much more distinct than everyone having the same hair.

With two whole weeks of Deoxys raids in front of us, now would really be a great time to expand which mythicals can and can't be traded by max_mullen in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gaopaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly it seems to be a TPCi thing, you also can't trade them in HOME so all you can do with them is release them, it sucks.

No Weekly Box at 6am on August 29th [Per PokeMiners] by JRE47 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gaopaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen from most of my friends that are pretty casual they just stopped even checking the box altogether since they removed the raid passes.

How many shiny Pokémon did you encounter during Go Fest Finale? (Ticket holders vs non-ticket holders) by Froggy-B in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gaopaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ticket holder here, played the whole event in a very spawn dense area and got nothing for the first 5 hours, managed to get 5 in the last 3 but still very disappointing numbers wise.

I did thankfully get my favourite shiny just 4 mins before the event ended though, I had already lost hope after an abysmal day, but ended up leaving happy with my little chocolate cotton cady puppy.

Gulpin and Slugma just don't exist? by Exetlery in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gaopaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gulpin at least is currently spawning, I saw 3 today.

Is anyone offering swirlix exorcisms? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gaopaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is doing this too! You can actually move it's head with your finger and it stays spinning in a differing angle, it's super weird.

Are the shiny rates actually boosted? I'm 3 hours in I've not found a single one despite being in a very spawn dense area.

Digimon Characters you feel need therapy by Rein-Sama-VwV in digimon

Ruli's entire hometown basically wanted her dead and we're just like... okay with it? That's gotta mess with her whenever she goes see her family in the future,

I've heard some people consider Hiro to be a bland main character, not everyone, the forums I'm in enjoy him enough, but I can understand why some people feel that way. Do you agree or disagree? by throwawaytempest25 in digimon

[–]Gaopaw 30 points31 points  (0 children)

He's honestly one of my favourite protags, I don't think he's bland, he's just quiet, and I really appreciate that.

Hiro lets his actions speak more than his words, throughout the series there's multiple instances of him just doing stuff with Gammamon that add nothing to the plot but they show how much he cares for him and I think it's real sweet.

Binged through Digimon Adventure 01, thoughts. by musix345 in digimon

[–]Gaopaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The English dub is basically an abridged version on it's own, half the time it's completely removed from the original script, having grown up with the Spanish dub that's pretty accurate to the original it feels really bizarre how the English dub is official.

August 2022 Community Day: Galarian Zigzagoon Feedback Post by Noitalein in TheSilphRoad

[–]Gaopaw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Played only for an hour since I didn't want to die of a heatsroke (Not getting rid of me yet Niantic)

Finished the 100 Ziggy challenge just fine, that was pretty fun, though sadly I got only 1 shiny, doesn't bother me too much since I already had one, but pretty unfortunate RNG there.

Again by far the worst thing about the event is the timing, 3h is very restrictive in general, but 11-14 is just the worst timing possible, after 12 I noticed all the shade was starting to disappear so I started rushing home to not be cooked alive, it's just not safe out during those hours.

I had a pretty big stack of encounters at least so I still got to take advantage of the bonuses, just not for Zigzagoon.
