For all those that care, there is a correct answer for the splatfest, and that answer is ice cream

Did anyone else find the menstruation joke in the Splatoon Direct a bit odd and out of place? I assume it was just in the NA version. Someone at localization is probably going to get a taking to between that and the Pearl Harbor thing

I'm not buying this whole Marina = Harbor pun thing. The more I think about it, the less it makes sense. Why would Marina translate as harbor? The closest you can possibly get is Marine, which is nothing of the sort.

marina

noun
noun: marina; plural noun: marinas

I am also similarly amazed that they're actually running with an Aunt Flowe joke :stare:.

I'm not going to trust a definition that can't even spell harbor right

I've lived in a marina before, can confirm, there were boats.

I have ice cream in my freezer right now and I don't care but if I had a cake I would be wondering how long it would be before I could have another slice of cake.

Cake team is going to win because it's the correct answer and the people choosing the right answer are doing it from a mindset that will bring them victory, not from a mindset that made them choose the wrong answer because the character was cuter!

But ice cream is objectively better. When ice cream is introduced to cake, it makes it better with ice cream cake. When cake is introduced to ice cream, it makes it inedible with cake ice cream.

That's like voting dogs in the dogs vs cats one because dogs can eat cats more than the other way around.
The voting is exclusive: one or the other. What's all this about mixing them? Ask yourself "Would you rather have cake or ice cream at the ready", and I'll think you'll find that the right answer is cake.

Fair enough. I was trying to present extremes, but I should not have mixed them. Still, I have to choose ice cream as it is a frozen treat of pure enjoyment on a blazing hot day.

Pearl for the memes.
