Nearly got ran over twice this morning... I'm okay now; slowly getting better, but wow I hate the way people just lose all sense behind the wheel. If anything, I guess it serves as a reminder that life is short... there's no telling if we'll see tomorrow, so we might as well make the most of today.

started to do my x calcs for the season, I'm kinda happy with how it went. 2k may seem unimpressive for a d5, but I struggle way more in solo where I don't have comms and I'm more reliant on my average mechs. who knows, this might be the first time I hit 2.3k, either way wish me luck #compsplatoon

So throwing it out there cause I helped someone with it, if you hate 52 try brella Object shredder sbrella invalidates 52 when done right, wall doesn't exist and it's a even to positive mu with just the main weapon. Much less when you're practiced on brella which I'm not at the moment

I'm going to say this til the gun gets nerfed but 52 is actual bullshit 😭 compare these two clips and tell me which one was more hype and took actual effort to hit I'll wait #compsplatoon #highdivsplatoon

I'm genuinely so pissed at this meta, there's been other bad ones but this one is so unbelievably ass after a year of grinding naut and finally getting to play my damn main, I get hit with this fucking paintslop...tell me why a jumping 52 can two shot me at max range like make it make sense

genuine question: most of you probably know me for splatoon, but back in the day (I sound like unc ugh) I used to stream geometry dash and mario kart wii. would people be interested if I streamed gd alongside splatoon? I still need to find a method that doesn't cook my pc, but it could be fun :p

5 ways you can make a more welcoming scene: - Say GGs, hype up opponents after your sets - Thank TOs after playing a tourney - Loudly share good creators; resist spotlighting bad ones - Get involved (become a TO, join SBA, etc) - Research how to improve your + your friends’ mentals #compsplatoon

I think it's really interesting that we always talk about "the meta" but I never hear any low level players talk about a low level meta. I wonder if something like that could be developed, cause I already notice things like dualies, dread, sword and ttek are more prevalent here than top level

Hey #compsplatoon if you're worried about needing to win "random" clutches in X rank then you should analyze why you're getting these into "random" clutch moments in the first place. Just winning clutch plays is not what gets you even 100 more points in the long run

108 games of Splatoon were played for the SendouQ Season 11 Finale. About 40 of those games were captured on video. 70~ games went completely lost to time outside of 0-3, 1-3, or 2-3. 3 teams didnt get streamed at all. No video, no replay, no stats. It's so hard to build stories off of nothing.

I swear someone needs to make a nautilus guide asap because the more I climb the more I hear "I don't know how to play around naut" and it's demotivating ngl like yeah I know it's niche so it makes sense but man is it hard to find comps for it or people that want to play with one #compsplatoon

Are there any midlevel players who are willing to play SoS with a low level player? While my goal is to get to midlevel, I’m still not sure what that goal looks like. I’m looking to find people at that level so I can understand the goal I’m trying to achieve. #splatoon #compsplatoon #highdivsplatoon

itd be nice if we could create actual change, so on the topic of this + pika's qrt about resulting-- in the past i couldn't figure out how mentality/ego could be improved but in hindsight the answer was straightforward: surround yourself with solid people and build the right culture internally \
