Whenever someone gets banned privately, they get to take it to social media first and set the narrative of the conversation. Then it becomes public and a mod has to defend their integrity against a mob. This time it was just an alt, imagine if the proof was sensitive information regarding victims.

[Splatoon 2] Nintendo has posted a special illustration for the series' 10th anniversary on Nintendo Today! Depending on the platform you're viewing this on, the quality might have been drastically reduced due to compression. Check the Nintendo Today! app for the original.

Happy 10th anniversary, keep the battles going! #スプラトゥーン10周年 #Splatoon10thAnniversary #Splatoon

A message from the Little Squid League staff

My thoughts on where tilt in competitive team video games comes from, the effects it has, and how one can work on improving their mentality. #compsplatoon youtu.be/exnfPx7hNmM

tired

It's honestly kinda funny to see all of the ragebaiting on social media (incl. bsky) nowadays. See something wild? Don't just blindly believe it. Check it out for yourself; exercise some critical thinking. :)

for TOs, i think the following pieces of data are pretty important / concerning: there's quite a bit of interest in watching our events!! but, nobody knows where to find them. almost every single respondent uses youtube, yet only IPL consistently streams to there, and only a few orgs put vods up

Some runs recently

I want to use this account to finally clear up a surprising misconception about the new ToS for Switch 2. Thread down below and repost when you can.

we need to normalize saying “i don’t know enough to speak on that”, because silence rooted in humility is wiser than noise rooted in ignorance.

Hello #compsplatoon ! I'm doing a survey on team scheduling, as this is a topic I think a lot of teams are varied on and I want to compile the data together to see the differences in mindset between people! Retweets + likes are appreciated! Share around if you'd like! forms.gle/pyYjw9SCqfKu...

Generative 3D models aren't seen as often as generative 2D art, so here's a thread on how to spot them.

Are there really too many tournaments in the scene? Why aren't 2-day events around anymore? How can we bring in better events to the best players in the game? Today we go over this topic in my new video!! youtu.be/ZFzRtur9_fw

I think the community forgets that SS was formed with/by TOs and some of the most influential people in the community that want to keep everyone safe and see it flourish.

You should come watch us (Splatastrophe) play tonight :)

This kind of commentary comes up regularly but I do wonder if it hasn't always been like this and the site just makes it easier to visualize it since you have everything in one place. That said you are not competing against other tournaments I would argue you are more competing against teams just

+3? im the brella

Hello #compsplatoon people! I'm conducting a survey about livestreams of competitive Splatoon and how much people keep up with competitive Splatoon. This survey is anonymous, and anyone in the community is welcome to respond, even if you don't compete! forms.gle/9f2tmzk26QXV...

what if i just posted running stuff on my bluesky?

I think the funniest thing in Helldivers II is sticking a thermite throw onto a teammate and watching them struggle to get it off before it burns them lol

splatoon is such a deep game sometimes

Congratulations to My Little Henlo from @floridasplatoon.bsky.social for winning the Splatoon LAN Championship Showdown! 2nd place - Prickly Pear from @sunsetsurge.ink 3rd place - glub glub from @metroink.bsky.social

Listening to Bad Piggies theme while coding goes surprisingly hard

THANK YOU for watching the LAN Championship Showdown! This event couldn't have been put on without the help from so many great people in the community over the past 8 months. We hope you enjoyed the broadcast!

Was able to make Silver bracket in SAC earlier today. We had to drop unfortunately because of scheduling conflicts, but was nice to see we could punch higher than we normally do.

For a large monthly tournament is a max runtime of 5 hours too long? /gen With the main stage being a guaranteed playtime of 2 hrs and the remainder being top cut with DE, the event would be 4h 30m if there's no bracket reset after grand finals.
