Mmmm, while I can't disagree I'm not reading too much into it yet. With her in a prominent role I'm wondering just what we're going to accomplish in the single player mode.

i'll stick to my principle of losing every Splatfest because I actually pick what I like

It's going to get buried, because cake objectively sucks in comparison to the sweet treat that is ice cream.

I don't want her to die. Inklings just have certain views about octolings.

On a more constructive point, has there been any actual figures for splatoon? Nenoroids, Figma, that sort?

I am so ridiculously hyped for splatoon 2 more so than I thought was possible. When I saw that bubble wand and the inclusion of player art work again.. wow. GOTY all years. Now I just need a squid squad.

My favorite thing about Splatfest is how it takes mundane questions like cake or ice cream and turns the answers into a line in the sand where the other side is digesting horrible fucks that need to be destroyed. Example would be anyone on Team Cake

Also any word game n when we can get the phone app?

I wonder if the drawings for the splatfest are gonna have a centralized theme now.

Pearls choices always have a lil squid in them and Marina's seems to have a little octopus.

Every Splatfest is now a foregone conclusion because they didn't maintain the design symmetry of the hosts. You can't make one host a bratty little gremlin and the other one a tall drink of water and expect even results!

Yeah, I don't think the hosts should be representative of a side if it means everyone will always just pick the non-brat option!

Well, if people actually voted for the subject instead of the host, as Squid God intended, it wouldn't matter that Marina is objectively superior to Pearl, now would it? :colbert: Only yourselves to blame.

Oh please, Marina is your typical demure exotic non-person that infantile men like to romanticize about. "Oh, oh, she's more to our taste, unlike Pearl, who is a bitch like all the other squidgirls", grunt the virgin losers in unison.

Not this shit again.
So other than the hori adapter anyone got a good solution to having both voice and game audio running through a headset without setting my computer up as an audio hub? I found stuff that will splice your phone audio in but they're almost all included with overpriced gaming headsets and I don't think they send voice back up to the phone.

Marina is green. Pearl is purple. And the splatfest picture had ice cream as green so i'm assuming Marina is on team Ice Cream.

You're projecting so hard that you've gone astral. I can see your non-corporeal form in my room and its freaking me out.

They're both good, for the record. I will go ice cream because that is what I prefer.

If you had a headset with seperate audio and microphone jacks, you could probably pull it off... but you need to combine the chat audio and the game audio which would be harder than a simple splitter. You'd need an audio mixer unit if not your computer probably :(
