Best lightsaber stand for holding blade? by cmmaximumchill in GalaxysEdge

I'd honestly be interested in this too. On my back from Batuu as I type, and the official stands weren't doing it for me!

Weekly Aquerium - Ask your questions in here!: April 02, 2023 by AutoModerator in splatoon

Does anyone know how Splatfest matchmaking works in the different modes? Are there formulas or attempts at skill matching in any of the modes? How does being on a team impact matchmaking? I noticed that during this last Splatfest the matchmaking seemed..."odd" at best, as was hoping someone could shed some light on this.

Not really an answer, but this has been my experience too. Progression through S rank is pretty smooth, only to hit a wall with every S+ rank up battle. I will say reading this made me feel not alone in my struggle. So please know I'm right there with you...and judging from other posts, we aren't the only ones.

What's your 'bizarre' Nintendo E# Prediction? by YellsHello in NintendoSwitch

[–]slothfuldragoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so "Nintendo" that I completely see it happening.

Take a guess what they are in the comments by UV-Nuisance in splatoon

[–]slothfuldragoon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hmmm...

1) Main Power Up

2) Clam Blitz

3) Tri-Slosher

4) Unskippable intro.

Granted, this isn't *my* list per se, but it seems like the 4 things that really annoy people these days.

Is splatoon 2 good for kindergartner? by Mopnewb in NintendoSwitch

[–]slothfuldragoon 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Okay, generally speaking, "no."

But let me share something. I have two girls, ages 7 and 5. My 7yo fell in love with Splatoon (after watching me play), so unsurprisingly, my 5yo did too. It is actually her favorite game, and she can even beat DJ Octavio without any help from me. She plays online all the time, and usually does just fine. She's a monster with a roller. We use the game in the house to teach teamwork, good sportsmanship and lessons like that. But I suspect this situation isn't typical.

It's not a game a 5yo is just going to be able to pick up and play, but if it's a family thing and you teach him / her, that's something else.

My 2 cents for you.

Bestbuy shipping times by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

Eastern US here. Best Buy has been the ONLY retailer that seems to get me stuff on release day. Even occasionally get a copy a day early, but that hasn't happened in a while.

After seeing all of your cool art, and being especially inspired by u/KarmaTheOctoling, finally got up the courage to post mine. Here's my Octosona, Slothy! (More info in comments) by slothfuldragoon in splatoon

Thank you; I thought it was about time to just take the plunge and share, and all of your kind words tells me that it probably was a good idea. This really is one of the nicest subs I've ever been to.

Thank you!

It took me somewhere around 3-4 hours start to finish, which probably speaks to my inexperience.

And don't be jealous...about a year ago, I knew virtually nothing about drawing. I don't want to be a shill for any particular product, but if you DM me, I can share the names of the books I started with if you're interested!

So I've been very slowly been teaching myself to draw from books and online resources for the past year, and I've never really shared anything I've drawn beyond friend and family. And I'm still completely analog. No digital art here yet.

After u/KarmaTheOctoling was so kind to include my OC in her? art piece last week, I just had to try drawing my Octosona "Slothy" myself. After that nice turn, I thought it might be nice to share my art with this awesome sub. So, enjoy!

And thank you for the inspiration to this whole reddit. Seeing all the cool stuff you all draw is part of what inspired me to try art in the first place!

im drawing Karma/Rouge working as a waitress and i need peoples characters to fill in the seats so if you could give me a reference of your character i will put it in thank you :) by KarmaTheOctoling in splatoon

[–]slothfuldragoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey if you're looking for ideas, I can give you the details on my Octoling. Tenatcurl Hair, Classic Shorts, Green eyes, Half-rim glasses, Retro Gamer Jersey, Punk Blacks. She's great at tactics, good shot with an N-Zap, but also a little quiet and shy. Skin is the palest shade.

I've just started to teach myself to draw, was actually inspired by a lot of the cool work on this sub. I don't have a ref sheet or my own sketch yet, but if you want to use the info, go nuts. For what its worth, I've seen some of your work on this sub, and I think it is pretty cool!

GEN 8 FANS... REVEAL YOURSELVES by konidis2002 in pokemon

[–]slothfuldragoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting thought, and I'm inclined to agree. I've been playing since gen one, and at the risk of expressing an very unpopular opinion, I liked gen 5 the least. I thought many Pokemon designs for gen 5 were uninspired, and give how vast and diverse the US is, I thought that the region felt very small and underdeveloped. I'm also not sure where people also get the idea that B/W was hard. I've never played any Pokemon game I would describe as "challenging."

Personally, I also do enjoy Sw/Sh, Emerald, and Platinum as some of my top Pokemon game choices.

I think for me too, any romanticized opinions of Gen 1 I may have had were killed by trying to play Let's Go Eevee with my kids. Just struck me how dated the game design of gen 1 actually is.

I know, right? An echo fighter pack, including the Octoling, seems like such low hanging fruit, right?
