Me, the big swig main, seeing the dynamo slander as of late knowing my weapon will never be relevant:

Walleye is also hilarious, and unlike most s3 maps at least has the decency to give you side routes and circumvent mid completely (the routes sucked but at least they’re there)

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Mahi tc is the closest this game gets to being funny on its new maps and even then it pales in comparison to triggerfish tc (at least the former has a prolapsing trench though) I am also quite fond of trying to get to the enemy boat on manta maria

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

You can do this in mahi rm too in s3 but this is funnier

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Can’t do this in s3 lmao (and yes, you can still do this right now in s2)

It only took like 5.5 years but we finally undid that bullshit paint buff 52 got in s2 by halfway 💀 +27% -> -5% -> -8%

I might’ve been inclined to help if you didn’t press the this way button

wtf did the game want me to do with these people

the mario galaxy movie defense force is getting real embarrassing lmao

Happy 8th anniversary to one of the best Nintendo directs ever and the day I was struck by Apollo’s gift of prophecy 💀

casuals be like "WAAAHHHH!! sweaty comp players are ruining the game!!!" and then they do this in x rank

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

First gold KING BADGE obtained 1/28/26 (1237 days since launch), HORRORBOROS!!! My favorite of the three Could've gotten it way sooner but I wanted to get number 1000 with my best friends, shoutout to @capnstabby.bsky.social @k4rto.bsky.social @jirrky.bsky.social #splatoon3 #salmonrun

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

I’m not like, a Persona superfan or anything, I’ve only played Royal and Strikers and currently playing through Reload after it sat in my backlog for some time, but I really loved Persona Live 2026! Immaculate vibes, incredible performances, would go again But please don’t forget strikers next time

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

3rd theoretical second gold badge achieved 1/15/26, and 4th theoretical second gold badge achieved 1/16/26, steelhead and fish stick! First instance where the order is different It is still very important to kill sticks, in the painting game, having less of your paint is bad #splatoon3 #salmonrun

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

i would've preferred to get my first ever 333x on my main weapon, but running object shredder zooka spam to ruin aerospray rg players' experience is good enough too lol #splatoon3 #splatfest #frostyfest

020

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

the day of reckoning FINAL 333 gold banner obtained 1/9/26!! (after one of my worst goldless streaks 💀) banner 1: 745 days to obtain (9/9/22-9/23/24) banner 2: 266 days (9/23/24-6/15/25) banner 3: 209 days (6/15/25-1/9/26) next goal is the gold horrorboros badge, 22 remain #splatoon3 #salmonrun

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Second theoretical SECOND gold boss salmonid badge achieved 11/3/25, flyfish 💀 Also because freelancers still don’t kill these fuckers; I play a lot with friends and help them get flyfish kills by crippling them instead and yet I still get 20k on these guys next lmao #splatoon3 #salmonrun

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

i think they chose team zombie because they smell like one 💀 #splatoon3 #splatoween #splatfest

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

pokemon za is a joke too lmao 60 bucks, 10 extra for switch 2, 30 for dlc that was announced BEFORE ITS RELEASE, AND the gen 6 starter megas require nso, and then the game looks like this

020

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

yeah, nah. that nintendo direct was already below average to start but all the price announcements retroactively make it the worst direct we've had in the past 5 years (besides the farmslop one); nothing new announced besides a bunch of b-list titles (fire emblem looks neat but not my thing as well)

120

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

uhhhh top 500 happened last season, it's in tentatek division tho so does it really count lmao

100

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

As for stuff I actually did in the game, I played a LOT of Salmon Run in this one lmao, probably way too much (not pictured is having 2 of the 3 banners that cost 333 gold) making some great friends along the way (hi @jirrky.bsky.social hi @k4rto.bsky.social)

330

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

This game also gave me a lot of views on my (dead) channel lmao, at least the shitty map design got me something in the end including a collab which was pretty neat I still really like the Umami video I made, I think the big map design one could've been better but it seems to be well-liked so idk

100

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

But of course, I saved the best for last (totally not biased), BOOYAH BAY!!! EVERY SINGLE ONE! It's been an honor being a part of this, words cannot express how grateful I am for this LAN's existence and being able to actually do something for the community, I love the team I'm a part of a lot too

120

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

SoCallie was pretty neat too in February 2025, I've always wanted to go but life kept getting in the way and then the LAN went on hiatus due to the venue dying; the first SoCallie ran a week after I left LA, going home from vacation lmao I put Nishiki on the wall

100

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Like seriously how did any of that happen we ran triple reefslider + big swig and sometimes quad reefslider lmao I won one of the games by bumping someone off the tower with my swig in overtime 💀

120

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Sunset Surge 1 year anniversary! First time competing in the actual main event and what an INSANE run, my Splatoon career peaked here and it's been downhill ever since, did complete shit in pools but swept through redemption and loser's bracket in top cut to take third somehow???

110

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

I would (eventually) sort of get my wish but in the wildest way I could imagine

110

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

This was also my first time "competing" in a LAN lol, I only played the Salmon Run side event that I didn't even know existed until they announced they were doing signups for it, got to play a little bit with Mickey Mart (Pepe's team); we got third which isn't bad for not playing all the sets lmao

110

RyanSomething @ryansomething.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

I also got to talk to Pika of Cherry Limeade fame and it was a nice chat, got him to look over a Big Swig guide I was writing (...that I never ended up making the video for oops I should probably work on this again now that it has a third kit lol)
