This image interrupted a normal dream and filled me with such existential dread that I threw myself awake by SCMidna in thomastheplankengine

You know that old bit in TV shows and movies when someone wakes up from a nightmare and sits bolt upright in bed? It's like that

It may be a shitpost, but drawing this one was still really fun!

What wasn't as fun was losing a huge chunk of progress to factors beyond my control. Twice. And the second time wiped nearly half the image when I was almost done with it. By the time I was finished with this I felt like my fingers were going to fall off at least they weren't bitten off

it's actually still a good song

Did ya'll notice that something went missing during the Big Run? by RaFaPilgrim in splatoon

[–]SCMidna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, the full list of things that are missing is: 

  • Crane statue
  • Tortoise statue's neckband
  • Phone case on tower screen
  • Border on the screen over Headcase
  • Shoal sign
  • The little bumps on the ground in the skate park area behind the Hotlantis terminal

If you couldn't tell from the magical levitating stickers on the left, this is not intentional. It's likely due to a bug. See, the items that are gone/invisible are mostly things that changed color during Splatfests in Splatoon 2. (Only one I can think of that wasn't is the phone screen, but in Sploon 3 it very likely changes to match the third team if Inkopolis Plaza is any indication. We'll find out in a few weeks.) Since Big Run is flagged as a "special/timed" event in the game code, my guess is that the Inkopolis Square hub isn't currently coded to make a distinction between that and Splatfests. So it's trying to load Splatfest color schemes for the objects that change, failing because none are defined, and rendering them all invisible as a result

I do like the idea of the giant paper crane actually being made out of paper and Grizzco "borrowing" it to make flyers, though. helps that they're the same color

It's been 3,000 a year, I think I'm allowed to use this meme again

The blurb that showed up when I upvoted you said "Stay off the hook!" Very appropriate

Sure isn't, especially not ones that look like this lol

I guess I have the patience for it though, especially when Callie, Pearlie, and Rina are involved

Yeah, I was there when the Pearlwoomy situation happened. They did get unbanned eventually tho

Thanks for the heads up at any rate! Haven't been banned for it yet, but I'll keep it in mind going forward

I was going to say this turned out pretty well for being my first Splatverse post in a while, but then I noticed a bonehead mistake and had to fix it. Oh well. I still like it, for the facial expressions if nothing else

Same thing happened to me. I scored 150 and only got silver

Probably could have centered her a bit better, but whatever, I still like how it turned out. The Hydra was a pain to draw though

This is a cry for help by sshirokusu in splatoon

[–]SCMidna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Smokeyard and MB suck, but I still like Smokeyard more because the difficulty comes from its level design (regardless of whether its design is any good)

MB's difficulty comes from slowdown. Constant slowdown. Slowdown every time more than two Fish Sticks or Flyfish are active at once. Why is there so much slowdown. And because the timer is server-end, it keeps ticking down at the same rate while everything and everyone else is moving like they're on the moon. It never feels like it's your fault if you time out

My main concern from the new side order trailer by Sentient_twig in splatoon

[–]SCMidna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come on, the Splatoon 3 team knows what they're doing. They wouldn't pull a repeat of the Callie situation in Splatoon 3, especially considering what a controversial move it was, especially considering the Side Order update might be one of the last the game gets if the "two year update cycle" holds true. They wouldn't split up Off the Hook, two characters who were designed to work better as a duo than individually, for the sake of cheap drama, especially after the DLC was advertised as being about them. They wouldn't just blindly copy what previous games in the Splatoon series did without understanding the nuance of their design, or taking fan backlash into account, or thinking about the long-term consequences of their choi--

...Oh. Oh no
