I held off touching No Mans Sky until now and holy crap I'm so glad I waited for all this content and updating before diving in. I'm addicted.

Just got 2nd in a Magic tournament and opened this $100 card, once again outperforming my Splatoon winnings in a random weekly.

Nick Hitzel @hitzel.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

I've played 3 times in 3 days and so far I'm having the most fun with S-Blast 91.

Nick Hitzel @hitzel.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Is Splattershot range equal to Splatoon 1 now or is it still less?

Nick Hitzel @hitzel.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

About to play squid game for the first time in a hot minute wish me luck.

Nick Hitzel @hitzel.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I'm seeing Bluesky content get more interaction than identical content on Twitter. Is this really happening?

Nick Hitzel @hitzel.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

So this is a really good thing right?

Additionally, these weapons have specifications that form the benchmark for various other weapons. By improving these, we also intend to make room for further improvement of specifications for weapons with similar distance specializations as these weapons in future balance changes.

Would your kitchen counter make for a good Tower Control map?

The only upside to being unable to make it to all the LANs this year is knowing that when I do show up, my beard will be surprisingly larger than the last time everyone saw it.

Imagine a LAN team called Quesadillas with 4 people named Casey Diaz. I think that would be really hype.

Nick Hitzel @hitzel.bsky.social · 04/09/2024

When you play Mini Splatling, do you have trouble handling the slower bullet velocity / shot lead? This is something I don't experience, but a complaint I hear from most trying the weapon for the first time. (Something something my first FPS was Halo 1 something something in my blood I guess.)

Nick Hitzel @hitzel.bsky.social · 16/08/2024

Found myself discussing developer intent in Splatoon. Was Splatoon meant to be for-fun and casual, then the players forced it to be competitive like Smash? I thought of this Splat 1 dev interview, then realized this is a part of Splatoon's history that everybody should see:

On the face of it, Splatoon looks like a typically cute Nintendo game, but underneath it's a quite sophisticated tactical shooter. What kind of player is the game aimed at?

Been enjoying these decks most lately. I don't update my it nearly enough, but you can check out some of my decks on Moxfield. I tend to update my cEDH decks most. www.moxfield.com/users/Hitzel Next I'm thinking of putting Blue Farm back together and building around Valley Floodcaller.
