How the heck do you deal with autobombs, you can't shoot them and I feel like they follow you forever before they explode
Once they lock in on you they stand still for like 2 seconds before they actually explode. It's pretty simple to dart away from them. They're most lethal when you're just not paying attention and don't notice them at all.

I'm not someone who sees furry stuff as inherently sexual, but I would also like very much for people to knock it the gently caress off if only for variety's sake.

E: There is also that kinda brony feel of "We're muscling our way into this space that wasn't made for us"

The simple fact that all it took was one art post going "no furry poo poo" to cause a rush from a shitload of them in a kid's game should give you some massive red flags as to their mental state. It's one of those things that needs to get shut down hard or it'll only get worse.

The simple fact with Chargers in Salmon Run is it's unfeasible, and unacceptable, to assume every single player is competent with the only weapon type that has a minimum skill level necessary to be decent. Players who main Chargers aren't exactly going to be common to start with, and it's still a diceroll to put one in their hands for one wave out of three.

You don't have to main a Charger to be okay with them in Salmon Run. I never play with them outside of it but I can still use them fine when I get one, taking out priority targets quickly. I have more problems with the non-boss salmonids. Try taking a second and giving your Charger-wielding teammate a hand by keeping the annoying salmonids in check around them if they're having issues, they might suddenly be quite a bit more effective. This is a cooperative mode, and adjusting tactics to weapon loadouts is part of the bargain after all.

Plus, I'm pretty sure that even if Chargers were removed, there would still be players not playing to the fullest of the game's potential, probably quite a few of the same players you're noticing with Chargers. The game has only been out for a few weeks. A lot of people playing now didn't play the first, and not everyone is playing for hours every day. It takes a little bit of time to learn every weapon type, not just Chargers. They're just far more noticable.

Why? There's nothing inherently wrong with furries. There's still a ton of cartoons and games that have characters that are furries. Sonic's getting two new games this year. You're even playing one, Splatoon. There's people that have a kink about it, sure, and if that's showing up then absolutely report it because that doesn't belong here, but a drawing of an anthropomorphized animal isn't inappropriate by itself.

This is true and would maybe be an out if nearly all the furry art posts didn't scream "FURRY" in them directly referring to the fetish

I guess the entire point I was trying to make but didn't really say was that furry art isn't always a fetish any more. It hasn't been for quite a while now. There is furry fetish art, but labeling something furry doesn't make it a sexual thing. Everything you show there is actually perfectly fine.

Take a good hard think about what people are gonna find when they wonder what a Furry is and google the term.

I've seen Rick and Morty pictures in my plaza and though that show isn't appropriate for children the pictures were fine on their own. I wouldn't report those so I'm not going to report furry drawings just because I'd rather not see them, unless they are actually inappropriate.

I'm just talking about the art, I should clarify. Though I doubt everyone that goes for the furry thing is a pedo, I'm not surprised some are. You can find the most despicable people in every community.

This is getting way off topic though, so I'm done. I should be sleeping right now anyways.

You're asking people who have a high knowledge of the anatomy of canine sexual organs to draw them to suddenly expand to nautical creatures. They're good at one thing and one thing only.

Anyway, it's probably OK if the graphics are a bit... odd, since there even is an app for parental control. On the other hand that requires some effort from the parents, especially if they just see the Switch as a convenient way to distract the little blighters for a moment and will not think twice on giving them GTA V. That's just how life is.

There's no parental control on the art posts. In a G-rated game. There is zero reason to expect, or accept, this poo poo.

Hello spletfriends, I recently picked up a Switch and this game. It's super fun but also I'm terrible so if there are any easy beginner tips, I'm all ears. Especially for the Heavy Splatling; it's the only gatling I have unlocked, but it seems like a bunch of fun. I just can't turf worth a drat with it, and the special is bizarre.

Also, why are my points always so low when I use a roller? I can regularly score 900-1000 points before win bonus with something like the Aerospray, but with a roller I cap out at around 600 or so. I thought they were really good at covering the floor?

FYI furry art is creepy because the safe for work kind is a very thin, flimsy crust over the disgusting pit of every known fetish, lovingly drawn on a wacom tablet.

Plus you ever see someone draw an adult dick wolf? Can't be done, looks like a childrens cartoon character whatever they do.

I'm not gonna test it myself but search for innocent furry pictures on Google and see how long it takes to get something grim. I bet it's less than 5 minutes.

i went ahead punched 'furry' into google images and got dozens of lusty wolfboy images on the first page (despite safesearch) so maybe, just maybe it's something that the 'furry community' could keep out of a game for kids.

No idea what the shotgun is, but brushes play extremely differently than other weapons. You can't do anything from range but can kill extremely quickly up close. The key to using a brush is to utilize its mobility to constantly flank and ambush. Also you really need to lean on your subweapon when that isn't an option. Both the inkbrush and octobrush have good subweapons for flushing people out of places you can't reach easily.

The inkbrush does have a very thin trail though, which is why you want ink resistance equipped when using one. It mostly negates the slowdown from touching ink so you won't lose all your speed when you dash away and brush up against a tiny puddle.

The aerospray is absurdly good for turf coverage so you're almost always gonna do poorly with other weapons compared to it in turf war.

Isn't there an option to turn off posts in parental controls? At the very least you can turn it off in the options. But yeah, the sexual content shouldn't be in there in the first place.

It's quite probably the most mentally-unwell subculture in the internet, and we're saying they should be kept far away from children (or hell, anyone really) on general principle. If they think they have even a hint of a safe space to post art, you'll never get rid of them.

Yeah, I agree with that, more or less. It was the pedophile thing that bugged me--like there's way more pedo poo poo in, like, henati, but you'll almost never hear a goon complain about that...

Mainly remembering horror stories from https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3444416 this thread where towards the end furries became a topic and there was a common theme throughout all the stories of people who were hip deep in the muck.

Gootuber is terrible for Salmon Run. Lowest range charger, longest charge time, and the hold charge gimmick isn't terribly important in Salmon Run (also you can extend the normal charge time of other chargers by rapidly going in and out of ink).
