Petition for the collective to stop moralizing "meta" and "off-meta" and perhaps stop using those terms as personality traits or descriptors as a whole and we instead just play the video game.

The current state of the meta is provoking me to just take a break until this paint paint paint bs winds down, its genuinely unplayable for me and i would rather not play pen

I feel like the several sagas of people picking up v96 for a week and then dropping it is the perfect summary of why I particularly despise this meta. The stuff that is good right now is so low effort, simple, yet highly rewarding to the point that it's more interesting to look at how clips go wrong

Rule 1 of tournament etiquette: Please don't check in to a tournament unless you are actually ready to play the tournament. Being late to your set doesn't just delay that set but the rest of the tournament. Everyone else shouldn't have to wait just cause your team is unable to be there on time

Honestly after the buff Dynamo is such an interesting weapon - it's still really difficult to use but all its attacks feel impactful now, and knowing how & when to use each one while managing its ink consumption creates so much room for skill expression and interesting gameplay... ...in salmon run.

Picture of LessThanThree and N_A_M standing on the central tower in Splatoon 3's Scorch Gorge stage. Taho's octoling is holding an E-Liter 4k while standing on a block to the left of the platform. N_A_M's inkling is standing on the ground in front of that block with Twinklez Splat Dualies. Altalyra's octoling is to the right of both of them with a Stickerz Splatana Stamper. Pancakes's inkling is jumping on the spot to the right of Alta holding a Tri-Stringer, and Arikitty's inkling is standing on a block to the right of the platform, holding a Splash-o-matic and a Power Clam. In the background there is a large metal cage around the top of a pole, and several pale peach/orange rock formations in the distance.

LessThanThree and N_A_M's inklings and octolings gathered around the base of the Clam Basket on Splatoon 3's Scorch Gorge stage. Ariikitty is close to the camera on the left side of the picture, looking at the camera. Alta and Taho are slightly right of the centre of frame, further away from the camera by the lump on the ground in front of the clam basket. Pancakes has just super-jumped out of frame, leaving a trail of green-yellow ink from the area Taho and Alta are standing in leading straight upwards into the sky. N_A_M is standing slightly left of the centre of frame, further away from the camera on the raised platform by the clam basket, looking upwards toward the basket.

LessThanThree and N_A_M gathered around the base of the Clam Basket on Splatoon 3's Scorch Gorge stage. Alta is closer to the camera, slightly left of the centre of frame, facing away from the camera, throwing a clam towards the open basket. Ariikitty is in the right hand side of the image standing on the lump at the base of the clam basket, looking to the left slightly away from the camera, also throwing a clam into the open basket. N_A_M is standing on the ground nearby her, closer to the camera and looking in the same direction. Taho is standing on the ground in front of Arii, closer to the centre of the frame, looking towards the camera. At the very bottom of the frame, towards the right hand side is Pancakes in swim form, partially out of frame with 4 clams around them.

I added a third circle because I'm such an overachiever :3 (that and cooler slander is my passion)

Venn diagram of splatoon 3 special weapons sorted by my opinion of how good they are, fun to use they are and how healthy for the game they are. In the "Good" circle are Tenta Missiles, Tacticooler, Ink Vac, Reefslider and Triple Inkstrike. On the edge of the "Fun" circle is Kraken. In the "Healthy" circle are Ink Storm and Wave Breaker. In the overlap between "Good" and "Fun" are Triple Splashdown and Trizooka (these are more of the border of the "Fun" circle tbh). In the "Good" circle on the border of the "Healthy" circle is Big Bubbler. In the overlap between "Fun" and "Healthy" are Inkjet and Super Chumps. In the overlap between all three circles are Crab Tank, Booyah Bomb, Zipcaster and Ultra Stamp. Outside of every circle is Killer Wail 5.1. Screen is in the abyss, where it belongs

Screw your special tier lists. I want to see people's special venn diagrams on what specials are not only good but actually fun to play (this is highly a personal opinion and I am smooth brain)

A venn diagram of Splatoon 3 specials being placed on how good they are and how fun they are to play. In the just good section, there is: Zipcaster, Booyah Bomb and Tacticooler. In the just fun section, there is: Kraken Royale, Ink Jet, Ultra Stamp and Super Chump. In the good and fun section, there is: Trizooka, Crab Tank, Triple Inkstrike and Ink Vac. Big Bubbler and Reefslider are on the edge of the good and fun section as Ariikitty is undecided fully on these two specials. Outside the diagram, there is: Tenta Missiles, Ink Storm, Wave Breaker, Killer Wail 5.1, Splattercolor Screen and Triple Splashdown as they are neither good or fun in Ariikitty's opinion

Here in X Rank Civilization, no one chooses to jump for the ttek region. It’s better to be safe and do the one block jump for the takaroka, rather than risk your entire queue time for just 1 game tick less lag.

My thoughts on Splat Safety and recent community discussion

Image of part 1 of a text reading:

I understand that this discussion is extremely emotional for many. However, I hope we can all find common ground in that something like Splat Safety should exist. Without something like it, TOs and organizers (like me) could not do the work they want to do and would likely quit (and we're already seeing a lot of organizers expressing that they are no longer motivated). More importantly, victims would have to make their case to many different orgs to get perpetrators out of the community, and I don't think any org would be equipped to adequately investigate a situation like Splat Safety does. Without something like Splat Safety, the community becomes a much more hostile environment towards victims.

I trust Splat Safety, and its volunteers have my utmost respect. They voluntarily and repeatedly investigate the darkest sides of our community to keep it safe, without any pay, without anyone saying thank you, with many community members spreading hate against their work. I cannot stress enough how emotionally difficult that must be. I imagine the only thing that keeps them going are altruistic beliefs in a better and safer community.

Image of part 2 of a text reading:

I can see how others do not have that same trust, especially if you feel Splat Safety has acted unjustly. I hope that some can watch their video and see the same maturity and responsibility for a safer community that I did, but I also understand that some will not. Trust takes time to build, and is almost impossible to keep up for a small volunteer org like Splat Safety, when the cases they regularly deal with too often contain extremely dividing sides. I hope you can at least see that Splat Safety and its volunteers have good intention.

I understand and encourage voicing criticism you have of Splat Safety. I would ask you, however, to not spread hate or misinformation. Sending emotional, short, and not-fact-checked messages is far easier and faster than trying to investigate and find the truth. Please take the time to carefully review the public information we have before sharing your opinion. Please realize that in many cases, you will not and should not have access to every part of a case. Spreading hate and hurtful messages doesn't help anyone, let's talk about this in a constructive way.

To quote Dr. Piggy, "Twitter justice doesn't work." Bluesky justice doesn't work. For everyone's safety and well-being, we need an organization like Splat Safety. I hope that at least this is something we can agree on.

The only thing I will say: I could not do what TOs do for Splatoon. Volunteering your own time with the risk of being harassed and/or discriminated against is mind boggling to me. I don’t know how they do it but when they do leave, as we have seen many great people leave, I understand why.
