Social The Social Thread 3.2.1

[Dutch Raikuna]

God I need a break from social media.

I lack the massive willpower to do it......................and this is like the only social circle that I can leave and not really worry too much.

Still I lack the willpower and I hate myself for it. Feels like with stuff happened back in March, the job and stuff my attention span has been messed permanently.

Hand I've been dealt.

do you think Frye likes fries

Fryes that likes fries that are fritter fried..............

This is just your way to go to KFC with a group of friends to get a 3 Piece Meal with a cosplay to make a funny joke isn't it

Nah I have to really go out of my way to get KFC, it ain't worth it

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Zinger Burgers over Big Macs, Chicken Royale's and (mostly) Whopper's any day.

I stand by that.

 

[CureParfait]

Now that makes me crave KFC or any typed of fried chicken.

The con was pretty fun, I spent a buttload of money on ulatimately useless ****, had some small talk with some pretty nice people that ultimately won't come to anything, and saw way too many Genshin and D*ngnronpa cosplayers

Overall not the worst use of my time in a day when I can barely tell left from right due to a lack of sleep. Dunno when the next con is but I'll probably go if I can

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Huh, so team rock won

For once it wasn't a steam roll like last games where one team would dominate. I like it. I feel like to tri ink war had something to do with it because I was getting absolutely screwed in those tricolor battles in team scissors

Edit: lol nvm that wad editied, yeah Rock won

 

[Dukefire]

Well, my new favorite special so far is the reefslider. You get to ride the bike as from Splatoon 2's story mode octo samarai and a reference to an old anime movie.

Rock won in every region. In Americas and EU Scissors got crushed but in Pacific/Asia Paper folded

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Digimon Survive is a bit of a slow burn to get the plot started, i like how it feels like a more mature take on the first episode of the original Digimon anime.

Group of teenagers hanging out in a summer camp wander off from the rest of the group and wake up in the Digital World.

I know at a anime convention that I went to at least 80% of the cosplayers were Demon Slayer, like 10% were gension and I saw at least one Nagito, someone holding a Monokuma plush, and someone all dressed up as Lelouch As Zero

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Lelouch As Zero

Every convention has one.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Yeah, after the halftime tricolor, i knew we werent gonna win it.

As fun as that halftime turf war is a lot of stuff about it need to be reworked like how the winning team has such little space and how the other two teams take up most of the turf so the winning team can't even Turf much stuff before they are overran. Also the sprinklers need to be toned down a bit because once those things come up everyone, mostly the winning team, is practically screwed and the ultra signal spawns way too fast it needs to be toned down

Oh there were a bunch of Demon Slayer cosplayers too

It's just that while I'm not a big fan of the show it bothers me significantly less than Genshin and Danganronpa

Run from him, dread him, Zero still arrives

I personally loved the Danganronpa cosplayers that I saw and didn't really care for the genshin cosplayets. the only thing I did not like was all of the Demon Slayer cosplayers. Like they show up in all three conventions I went to and it's getting annoying and I just want to see some originality

Completely agree with you there, I always go for the Zinger Burger whenever I am at KFC (even though nowadays I do enjoy Taco Bell a lot more.)

I saw Nope yesterday with my family.

Overall, a solid 8.5/10 movie for me, carried to 9/10 by having the Akira slide.

This was my first Jordan Peele film but my mom really recommends Get Out so I'll probably see it after.

I watched this yesterday with my brother. It was definitely interesting. The twist was odd but helps it stand out. The final act also has some crazy visuals.

idk what team Rock was on, but as someone on team Scissors I did notice that almost every tricolor battle I did had the exact same results: Rock beat us, but we did better than Paper. The saddest part is I was actually on a streak of winning tricolor battles even with Scissors's disadvantage when the splatfest ended.

I think it's because people over the course of the day learned how to work better together, which benefits the 4-person team more than the 2-person teams. In general, just from that one day, I feel like Splatoon 3 is pushing HARD for teamwork to make the dream work. All the subs and specials feel like they work best with backup, and I was always doing well when I stuck with a buddy, especially in those tricolor battles.

I personally think tricolor battles are skewed against the winning team to an unreal amount

Nearly forgot to post this, but this week's AMA subject shall be...

Dyllybirdy !

If they're available, I'll try to get their AMA up sometime on Tuesday

They could be better balanced maybe, but what eventually happened was that we on team Scissors learned to split ourselves up into two teams of two. And since the winning team has such immediate quick access to the high ground on that map, If we were all backing each other up, we could use that high ground to take out the other two teams before they even got to the middle. It certainly became possible to win after a time, but it started off as just blowout after blowout with us losing.

At least we did better than Paper lol

This is the official announcement tweet for those that want to see it

The Splatfest World Premiere results are in and #TeamRock has crushed it! Congrats to the winners!

A big thanks to everyone for participating, and we’ll see you in Splatsville when #Splatoon3 launches on 9/9! pic.twitter.com/NorOFbhYDk

Maybe this is just me being a Salty team Scissors member but I think Tricolor turf wars are a bit overtuned against the current leader.

So debate's over, yeah

For those that did not know, here are the splatfest results.

Man, scissors took a 180 turn once the halfway point for tricolor battles.

Did you know that Super Mario Brothers 2 isn't actually Super Mario Brothers 2 but rather a reskin of a Japanese game called Doki Doki Panic?

****ing crazy, am I right

splitting up and working together doesn't matter when you get over ran by the other two teams so fast because they have more room than you. Once they kill you because they cornered you and get the signal it's all over for the winning team

 

[Z25]

Didn’t realize my last post was a double post so I’ll repost it and remove the old.

Did a few multis for Ash and the one where I finally got him was pretty crazy!

5 stars in a row is as record for me. Got my first Looker to which is neat because he’s new in the pool and looker is one of my favorites.

 

[TheMightyP]

I feel like the Multicolor waa balanved but the stage itself was horrible for a test run. Sturgeon Shipyard was not made for 3 teams

 

[MooMew64]

I like Tri-Color when my team isn't the one in lead because it lets me bully the people winning.

 

[Wario Bros.]

The Splatoon demo was fun but I'm right now not going to get the game.

Do I actually need any of the galar starters in my pokemon fighting game?

100% Team Rock is not winning lol

You jinxed it

No, they're some of the weakest starters in the franchise, if not the weakest

It's really up to you but I just can't see a feasible way for Rillaboom to fight
