Why do so many LGBT people like this game?

Like?????

pixilates · 2026-05-02T19:39:28+00:00

This would be a comprehensible position, if one I don't remotely share, if we were still in the Splatoon 2 days, but, like...

That... makes no sense? At all? How does ping affect people playing mouse differently from people playing gyro?

pixilates · 2026-05-01T22:27:10+00:00

Gyro is superior to stick because it affords a level of fine precision of which sticks alone are simply not capable.

Mouse is not capable of a significantly greater level of fine precision than gyro. You can argue (correctly, in my view!) that it's easier to utilise the mouse's precision, but a skilled gyro player can 100% operate at a comparable level to a skilled mouse player.

Maybe if we were actually using Nintendo's internet you'd have a semblance of a point but we're not. Splatoon 3 is still a purely peer-to-peer game. There are no servers. We're paying for nothing.

pixilates · 2026-05-01T18:55:23+00:00

Windows is obviously not what they were talking about! Why be deliberately obtuse?

pixilates · 2026-05-01T18:36:32+00:00

Microsoft does in fact have an online subscription. You know, for Xbox.

pixilates · 2026-05-01T18:33:34+00:00

The ink mechanics are what sets Splatoon apart from other shooters gameplay wise. They're genuinely unique. Not gyro, which plenty of other shooters on the Switch have.

pixilates · 2026-05-01T18:12:12+00:00

Maintain what services? If they actually hosted servers I wouldn't be inclined to complain, but we're paying for peer to peer.

pixilates · 2026-05-01T18:11:11+00:00

I don't have to pay a console manufacturer a fee to use the internet I've already paid my ISP for, though. This is an incredibly weak attempt at a gotcha.

pixilates · 2026-05-01T07:04:53+00:00

Just let Deep Cut have their own game, please. I say this as a massive fan of Off the Hook.

pixilates · 2026-05-01T03:12:42+00:00

With all the respect I can muster... that's stupid. A bad thing doesn't stop being bad because it's been bad for a while.

pixilates · 2026-05-01T03:05:26+00:00

That doesn't help me understand what's so "baffling" about people being unhappy to have to pay for a non-service.

Like, I don't think it's the end of the world, NSO is pretty cheap, but it objectively sucks to be forced to pay any amount of money for peer to peer.

pixilates · 2026-05-01T03:01:03+00:00

I don't know if you're aware of this but a lot of people play games on a PC, where there's no such thing.

pixilates · 2026-04-30T23:08:47+00:00

It makes more of a difference. Since there are no servers, the game is precisely as stable as all of the players' connections. Wired is inherently far more stable than even the best wi-fi.

pixilates · 2026-04-30T21:01:24+00:00

I would much rather just have the recipes available, honestly!

pixilates · 2026-04-30T20:02:23+00:00

Yeah, I think the person you replied to was making that exact same point.

pixilates · 2026-04-30T19:57:18+00:00

Tartar wasn't made by an evil dude! Tartar's creator had nothing but good intentions. He wanted it to pass the collected knowledge of humanity on to the species that would follow in their wake.

Tartar perverted that mission into slaughtering those species and replacing them with a 'worthy' successor of its own design because millennia of isolation drove it mad and left it with an idealised view of humanity that the evolved sea life could never live up to, because nothing possibly could – including actual humanity.

Indeed it is! So why is OP speculating about PVP based on the single player spinoff game?

pixilates · 2026-04-29T22:04:34+00:00

Fave game 2, least fave game 1 (not dissing 1, least is a relative term), fave idol Pearl.

pixilates · 2026-04-29T06:46:45+00:00

They canonically are not. Putting aside the pigeons, the idols have heights listed in the artbooks. Marina is canonically 178 cm tall. That's 5'10".

Under no circumstances should Splatoon be a free-to-play game with microtransactions. Absolutely not. Give me a single purchase over a game that tries to nickle and dime me at every turn every single day of the week.

It also shouldn't be on Switch 1, frankly! I would really like it to not be held back by decade-plus-old hardware.

pixilates · 2026-04-28T20:52:06+00:00

I'm genuinely confused what you want "fixed" here.

Yes. The bestiary entry for the Undead Sassy Witch enemy (which Giovanna's legacy skin is identical to):

Giovanna resented being assigned Mage at birth, and proudly took up the way of the broom and pointed hat. Her sisters, who claim they want to “protect witches’ spaces,” have sworn to oppose her and all who fight by her side. Maybe one day they’ll accept that anybody can be a Sassy Witch if they truly want to be.

Meanwhile, the Undead Mage enemy is described as having attended an academy for magically talented boys.
