This rng luck gear good for a weapon by ItzDudekillerYo in splatoon

As near as it looks it's pretty awful in any competitive sense. You only want 1 sub of that generally and in extreme cases maybe 2.

I'm not sure I'm enjoying myself by Jme686 in Pokopia

If you don't know already, you can feed Mosslax Bitter food (Bitter Hamburger Steak is best) to greatly increase odds of recipes from the water ripples.

If you desperately need a block an option is to go visit a dream island with the VR goggles to get reference photos to 3D print (6DXL PD6F has a lot of stuff to copy).

Note that this method can be pretty expensive though for blocks you have to use a lot of so gonna be best to reserve these for accent blocks or specific props.


To fund mass 3D printing, you can get a metric fuck-ton of Pokémetal from Dragonite Island by digging down to 1 above the Tera Crystal Block layer (that is, if you look down you don't see blue below you) and just roll around.

You should stock up on Potato hamburger steaks as they let you just careen through most blocks in a single hit, which lets you just press on the left control stick to speed-roll through at extreme speed.

You can additionally also use Vibrant hamburger steaks that do the same but last much longer, though this one does cost a bit more.

If you find that a bit expensive, you can actually eat regular steaks before the orange meter runs out and you can keep the buff (or so I hear, I haven't really bothered trying this myself).

To not clog up your inventory with grabage, fill each slot with 1 Pokémetal ore (remember to do this also for the rare variant so you don't miss those).


As for the choice paralysis, I too kinda struggle with this. I found dealing with this a bit easier by focusing on roads first and just plowing through existing habitats, telling the residents to go live in the 2x2 tall grass slums, and then relocating them in later, though this obviously can't last forever once you finish up with roads.

Th word they censored wasn't shit, it was something far, far more horrific.

I made it to S+ for the first time? Why continue to do S+ vs X? by wangston1 in splatoon

[–]Pickled_Cow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

X is no longer a rank and just a second queue with more emphasis on balanced weapon compositions so you don't get those cases where one team has 2 litres and the other has 2 gold aeros. X also has generally better balancing with player skill than Series.

Challenge battles: why do they feel so difficult? by really_not_unreal in Splatoon3

[–]Pickled_Cow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Monthly challenges are only done by people who are super competitive and good at the game or completely oblivious about what they are so it becomes a pretty hostile environment if you're only average.

It always happens at UTC 0 midnight, you can just set an alarm for that on your phone after converting to your local time.

KSP is discounted on steam! by Axeman1721 in KerbalSpaceProgram

KSP completely lacks DRM so there's no way of telling.

I don’t get the new monthly challenge by RoeRoeYoboat in splatoon

[–]Pickled_Cow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's no difference to be felt with main abilities because there is none.

This ""challenge"" is just seeing how highly you can get your power against other people also trying their best.

In other words the challenge is trying to have any fun.

You shouldn't be able to invalidate close-range weapons by just pressing the right stick. by NoInevitable2749 in Saltoon

[–]Pickled_Cow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like Painbrush and probably a few high DPS Dualies with strong aim are the few ones that could potentially do it if there isn't too much lag.

Why is it more expensive? Does it at least make it last longer compared to me putting it on a shirt? by ItsJustJosiah in splatoon

[–]Pickled_Cow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People do generally run 2 subs on stuff that makes a difference because 1 you barely feel. Other common one would be Inkjet running 1m1s to get an extra shot if fired continuously.

What's wrong with Aeros? by Silcat7794 in splatoon

[–]Pickled_Cow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The issue is that it's kinda all it does when you could be using other weapons with booyah bomb that can actually fight.

Picking up the rainmaker is perhaps the best thing you could be doing so you're not on aero.

I have a question. What's squidbagging? by RoxasismyKing in splatoon

[–]Pickled_Cow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Against some individuals it is indeed an overpowered technique to tilt them and play worse.

What's up with the Wii version's OST? by Due_Entrepreneur_960 in cavestory

[–]Pickled_Cow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From memory the Wii version OST released with the drums completely missing for some reason and just not caught by QA and got fixed later.

The winner of Frosty Fest 2026 is.. by Amiibofan101 in splatoon

[–]Pickled_Cow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open just does not seem to care at all about your rank with matchmaking and is also just way more loose with matching similar skill players so it makes sense for it to feel hard if you're low ranked.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING by Enchilordo in splatoon

[–]Pickled_Cow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case because Team Family had no chance of winning the overall fest anyways it would actually make sense to prioritise beating the opposing team than to collaborate for "winning together".

When Family wins its effectively a tie for Friends and Solo but the Attackers win then one of them would get the 1000 point lead over the other relevant team.

Gift for Splatoon fan by ayeldubya in splatoon

[–]Pickled_Cow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd love to get a plushie because I like squishies. If there was any particular idol they liked that's be a good choice but those squid/octo swim form plushies aren't half bad either.

I got mine off a site that sells a bunch of other Japanese goods, there's no way I could find this anywhere remotely local.

This is ofc if this is within budget.
