My shopping list consists of specialty coffee beans and way too much stationary.

I'm at #39c3 this week, if you want @iplabs.ink stickers feel free to find me. For people wondering I am working in the 2025 splatoon comp scene stats atm. Taking me a bit longer this year.

Been great to see it grow year upon year, even if I've not been there to collect them all 😢 You and the team have put so much effort into organising it, and it shows.

It’s an honor to have been hosting this project for four whole years now! I never thought it would grow in numbers so much since we first started in 2022. Did you know that the first ever Riptide Trading Card Project had only 11 artists?! Look how many incredible artists are a part of it now!! 🧵

Splatoon LAN Updates @splatlans.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

We keep teasing it, but now it's time to reveal the amazing Riptide 2025 poster by @mdoebling.bsky.social! Amazing work, we can't wait for you all to see it in person!

The complicated part of doing a poster for a LAN is not finding the artist (which is still hard to whittle down) but working out how many you need to print in relation to players and attendees going. This is a rabbit hole of working out stats from previous LANs.

We're rebuilding @iplabs.ink player database and well... some players really like shouting their name. This is an example of why you need to cap the length of string in software. (Looks at Battlefy...)

I've been back from Basel (Switzerland) for less than a day and I already miss the cycle infrastructure. Can Greater Manchester get better cycle infrastructure pls. I enjoy cycling without being rammed off the road by a deliveroo delivery or by a taxi driver in a rush.

I did a 40 min walk from my hotel in France to Germany, and then back just to get Spezi. Am I mad, yes but I've missed having this drink.

Who knew trying to redesign @iplabs.ink's production system, database was such a headache... I'm slowly being reminded why I didn't want to add to the system any more.

Vincent Lee @eternaldilemmas.space · 08/01/2025

Nice choice, I've not decided what I want to get for this year and we're already at the 8th of jan😭 Is tempting to go back to the hobonichi techo again. From my plain note book that I failed to somewhat use last year... Thanks job...

Here the same but for the total player entries. I've removed all of CCA's data from these graphs

Vincent Lee @eternaldilemmas.space · 05/01/2025

Also should thank @glumbaron.bsky.social for giving a hand working out the line of best fit for the graphs that use it, remove the horrible sin wave that was present. These updated graphs are in the Notion post now.

I need to thank @sendou.ink for putting up with my API requests & @inkfarer.com for their work on interfacing with start.gg's API. Without their work this wouldn't be possible.

Vincent Lee @eternaldilemmas.space · 05/01/2025

For the 3 platforms they each have an API, for sendou.ink & start.gg they have their own official APIs that are documented. For Battlefy they have an API that isn't documented but the website uses. We create a common format between the 3 platforms then make the graphs from that

With 2024 behind us I've done some work to graph out the Competitive Splatoon Community over the year. To see it graphs and my short write up with them you go here: bit.vlee.me.uk/splat24 Feel free to ask questions

Out of curiosity, would the EU Splatoon Scene want one more @iplabs.ink King of the Castle? A final dual per say, given I never did a final send off. I stopped running it due to low turn out and cause I had work more hours at my then full time job due to client work coming in.

My Pixel watch has been really hit or miss with activity tracking that I gave up hoping to get anything usable out of it tbh, otherwise I probably would also do that

Vincent Lee @eternaldilemmas.space · 19/10/2024

I would host an EU tourney again if I didn't need to attach a prizepool to get a decent turnout. Though maybe one day we'll one more KotC again... maybe... no promises

Decided to rewrite how IPL/Low Ink does player verification and seeding with a brand new system. I think the staff are enjoying the new system as we have it in Alpha atm.

Yep, I'm rather glad IPL has GitHub paid Team's subscription now cause we eat through so many CI actions minutes per month now from all the stuff we're working on currently.

best "behind the scenes worker" as always is @inkfarer.com and @jpg-is.online Especially with all the new overlays, the upcoming release of maps.iplabs.ink v2 and still working on my crazy ideas.

An endpoint that you can share will return the map_pool.json file so you can give the IPL-OCP a link directly to get the map pool instead of downloading the JSON file to upload. Something like maps.iplabs.ink/json?options...
