Give them then experience I wanted when I first started my comp journey. I may be low level, and my words may mean nothing. But I’m always gonna make sure people I play with are feeling good, even if we are losing, because it’s a learning experience.

That’s a wrap for Meso’s journey at #Riptide2026! We loved seeing the sights, mingling with other pods, and screaming their hearts out cheering for the competitors. Goodbye Sandusky, we’ll see you in 2027!

Day 2 of Riptide came and went, and Mesopelagic spent it socializing and enjoying the venue! They got to meet up with their grandcoach, grab dinner, and end the night with some swimming!! Nam and Random also got to participate in “Pop the Balloon” to find their perfect teammate 👀 #Riptide2026

My team always helps each other to figure out how to work around one another’s weaknesses and strengths with each weapon we play. And I’m very grateful for that.

NamNam @namisbab.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I’ve learned from my teammates that I don’t have to give up what I love because someone else is wanting me to play god knows what.

NamNam @namisbab.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

They’re just wanting me to play what’s considered as Media/ what they want me to play rather than what I want to play.

NamNam @namisbab.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I always take this to heart because it makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong with the weapon I play. I’ve come to realize this is not the case.

NamNam @namisbab.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I’ve been playing dread for little over 2-3 years now and I still have things I’m learning about it. I’ve had coaches tell me I need to Give up on playing it and play Vslosher or any other Slosher.

NamNam @namisbab.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

This might not make but sense but. I sometimes think about my weapon and wonder why I stick to just this specific weapon. I’ve come to realize I like my brain to work around why this weapon works and why it doesn’t , I’ve seen a lot of people either dislike or like dread.

Happy (Very) Belated birthday (5/6🎉 to our marvelous meso member, @herooftrains.bsky.social ! Featuring an illustration and a very true story by @burntghosttoast.bsky.social all about Train, Olive, and Oile surviving in this Baka life full of fish. #splatoon

Three individual black and white drawings of Train Splatoon:
1. A bust shot of Train smiling open mouthed with party popper confetti flying over their face hocto hair and head. One eye is open while the other winks with the text next to it saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TRAIN!” Outlined by emphasizing action lines.
2. A goofy doodle version of a full body chibi train splatoon with a pacman shaped mouth lifting a handful of lava cake into said mouth. A curly arrow points at the cake saying “LAVA CAKE”
3. A bust shot of a pleased Train looking into their hands holding a small shark, laying on its back in their gentle embrace. A speech bubble next to their head reads “COOL SHARK!”

Page of campus notebook with story hand written as follows:

FULL OF FISH
5/6/26
ONE DAY, Olive and oile went to the market to buy some fish. Little did they know, they would run into an old friend and enemy, a FRENEMIE if you will: CAPITALISM.
They had no goddamn money, but they were SOOO hungry. The fish was RIlIGHT there! IT WOULD BE CRUEL to deny them this gorgeous meal with such empty, rumbly tummies. "Five bucks".
said the Inkfish at the register. The
rows of glassy eyes practically begged Olive to snatch them up in newspaper. The still glistening fins nearly wiggled and flopped themselves into Oile’s arms. Alas, without any currency, the dream of a simple candle lit dinner in Oh I dunno, probly anhour or so from now was impossible.
"WAIT. have an idea "whispered the ever clever Oile.
"An idea? At this hour? From you??" Olive mumbled incredulously.
"Sure. Just wait and see."
"By the time you get back, ill be skin and BONES."
Oile called the police and had the inkfish at the register arrested. It was all Clearly illegal endangered species. No amount of "WAITS "or "WHAT'S tHE MEANING OFTHIS"s could convince these sea pigs of shit.
"See? That's how it’s done" Oile beamed as he wiped his hands Clean. However, with no vendor, the fish could not be sold. Ah, yes.
Inquisitive render! You know now part 2 has only just begun. Hiding their glee, the two partners in crime delighted in pilfering the pescados productos and had planned this from the peginning.
People were unaware as the stand laid bare, letting these fish bandits loose to do whatever they wished with their prize. Yeah they cooked and ate those Mfrs for breakfast, lunch, secondlunch, dinner, and dessert for a year or two.
Wait. That's it? AHA. Yet again l underestimated you, dear reader.
They couldn't have gotten all this home by themselves. You would Be absolutely correct. 100% (a small golden star sticker is inserted here)
There was an accomplice...
TRAIN SPLATOON.

A black and white page in a campus notebook with a pencil illustration of a Thomas the Tank Engine clone but with Train Splatoon’s face having a gleeful expression. Olive and Oile ride in the conductor car small and faraway. The cargo is an open top car carrying a stacked high pile of fish with seagulls following overhead behind. Text box reads as follows: Carrying all of those beautiful fish, TRAIN splatoon singlehandedy, saved OLIVE and OILE from Starvation and capitalism.
-Below that text box reads as follows:
Some seagulls ate some fish though so fuck them...
-An upper body drawing of a wide mouthed seagull deep throating a fish

A gray triangular nightcap drapes behind their head with a light gray ball on its end. Blue/indigo pixelated shadows emphasize its folds and light gray folded strip of fabric wraps around the brim of the nightcap. A watermark below reads Living the Grid living-the-grid.com

as well as contact teammates to get to us. They’ve also joined one of the splatoon tournament servers, I can’t remember which one, but it’s hard getting men to understand I have no interest in you please leave me alone.

NamNam @namisbab.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve blocked accounts and they’ve been able to find me, even after repeating time and time again I have no interest in them and would like for the to leave me and my sibling alone, they continued, they’ve even gone as far as trying to threaten showing up to our house

NamNam @namisbab.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

I feel this so much, me and my sibling have been harassed/groomed by this guy since we were like 16-17. This started in another community and when we voiced we no longer wanted to be around this person they preceded to in a sort of way chase us around and contact us through miscellaneous accounts.
