I don't really get the argument for all modes? Sure there is variety for players/viewers, but the other modes are so turbulent and snowball a ton. The fundamental skills all carry over anyways. We should just stick to playing Air Ride only #highdivkirby

I'd recommend Libretube, though it occasionally breaks as it's dependent on how quickly people can fix issues YouTube causes Firefox + uBlock + Background Play on the YouTube mobile site is another option

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

This was in Texas too (granted kinda close to a more liberal university but still a very red area otherwise) Making the appointment (oh my god that was a nerve-wracking call) and showing up is the hard part in my experience

They mostly just asked about health history stuff I guess to make sure there wasn't some big safety issues

Planned Parenthood uses an informed consent model - they asked me about my dysphoria and I talked a little about it but they were happy to give an estrogen script. They generally aren't looking to gatekeep, cis people aren't trying to take HRT to transition

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 06/10/2026

The prevalence of people using yuri instead of lesbian feels like manufactured consent, a way for people (mostly cishet men) to further lesbian erasure. It's why I appreciate dyke so much as a word, it cuts through the bullshit

This one didn't exist until 2022 so I was kinda flailing for most of my life with the other 7 😭

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

I was on it with other antidepressants too (viibryd then luvox), and at one point I was temporarily on 3 while I tapered from one to another. Most of my antidepressants felt like sugar pills to me; I'm sure there was some difference but never a massive one.

000

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

I just... didn't notice it after a while. It was inoffensive and what I was used to at a certain point. I never really noticed it do much, but most antidepressants besides cymbalta haven't given me side effects. I only noticed it whenever I ran out a couple times and had withdrawal symptoms

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

It's Auvelity btw, weird combo of Wellbutrin + DXM. Apparently acts on the same receptors as ketamine which is why I delayed starting it for a while when I was still doing those treatments. And I was on Wellbutrin for years up until now too, thank you DXM

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

It took ages to get to that point and I still have things I need to do, but alleviating my base mental health issues have helped make progress on my transition possible again. Before it was driven by spite and relief, now it's a bit more out of self love? Still messy for sure

020

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

I found taking steps to transition helped a lot (HRT, laser, name changes, new clothes, etc.) but it never fixed underlying issues. Helped a lot don't get me wrong, but it didn't solve everything. I still deal with dysphoria but it's not the primary source of distress for me anymore

120

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

I've done 3 partial programs, ketamine treatments for 2½ years, so many different meds, therapy 2-3 times/wk. Those all helped but I've been stagnant for so long. Getting a new job helped but only so much. I talk about my mental health negatives so often, I wanted to share the positive for once

1160

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

I can access my emotions better, feel more open with people, am better able to communicate + express boundaries. First couple weeks were rough and they still leave me feeling a bit wired, but I'm happier than I was before and this is only a month or so in.

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

When people said their antidepressants helped their lives improve, I always assumed they were lying. And for good reason, I've been on 7 different ones starting from the 5th grade. My new one is actually making all these small improvements that I feel stacking up over time. It's nice.

Our coach Shark told me my best hammer at Riptide wasn't the one that got a triple and cleared our plat to stop a push, it was me rushing right side undertow with one to create a big diversion for a rainmaker push left. Send the wellstring on a suicide mission right path, not the rainmaker.

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

I can't speak to exact technical or design limitations obviously, but imagine the power of "oh hey you wanna play this cool game with me" and it doesn't cost $550?

060

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

Raiders didn't do this, an exclusively story based game that already has mechanisms to keep players from venturing too far when playing online together. I'm sure performance is a big factor in this, but is dropping to 30 FPS not a potential compromise? Why not build the game with this in mind?

160

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

Something I don't see enough discussion around as a Splatoon 4 feature is actual split screen multiplayer, story mode and/or online. Feel like I see this request so often amongst casual players and it could do so much to get someone into the series

1182

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

Of course things like Luigi's Mansion or Kirby could've had competent 2 player modes, that's not a performance limitation

010

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

I've seen so many people say they want to play Splatoon single or multiplayer split screen and even Raiders couldn't pull it off. Maybe a deliberate design decision but still guessing a performance one They could've compromised by dropping to 30 fps maybe?

110

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 05/10/2026

My guess is that performance was a big factor in pulling this off, a lot of first party games barely seemed to hit 30 or 60 fps. Sure single screen stuff is fine, but split screen might've been too optimistic for the very underpowered hardware

That must make wellstring the top 0.6 anchor in the game, since it has 67% more arrow per arrow than bow

If you can't tell neither of these are questions I need answered haha, more that I think they could be interesting talking points. Like coach -> players is weird because how do you gauge how well a coach fits when there's no games to review? We solved this with me doing scrims -> mock VOD reviews

010

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 04/10/2026

Our coach has described having it as having someone who handles the analytic stuff better and someone who's a bit more vibes based. One might be good for more strategic things or game plans like you said, the other could focus more on big picture, comms, mental, overall direction, etc.

120

Tessaract ➜ River Rapids @tessaract.gay · 04/10/2026

What are your thoughts on a team having multiple coaches? Do you think the multiple perspectives help or can conflict? How do you feel about the idea of teams recruiting a coach before any of the players? (What our team did, curious about your take on it)
