https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/998369650986569728 Turns out that there was an issue with the latest Splatfests in all regions where the matchmaking system accidentally created far more lobsided lobbies than usual, if you were wondering what was going on with that.

So the band, or rather person, who's handling Octo Expansion's music got revealed. https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/998488945695440896 Dedf1sh is an Octoling DJ who tried to pursue a music career for her future, and went to the facility where Octo Expansion takes place to help with that. However, she got "sanitized" in the process, losing her will. She still makes music, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_os8hX8uXg0 Araxxor fucked around with this message at 12:00 on May 21, 2018 |

Octolings must run a literal, dangerous gauntlet if they wish to pull themsevles out of their subterrenian social caste and achieve parity with Squidlings. DJ Deadf1sh represents the constant, looming threat that Agent 8 will fail. Broken by the system, Deadf1sh serves as a spectre of a kind of death, a death of spirit and mind.

doors posted:they’re squids or inklings, but never squidlings. still awesome though If, indeed, "inkling" refers to squids exclusively it's a pretty potent illustration of how the dominant class can weaponize language. After all, are squids the only ones who use ink? No, of course not, the entire premise of the Great Turf War relies on squids and octopodes both using their ink to make war on each other.

It is an analogy for the global south and how unfettered capitalism and decades-old conflicts creates winners and losers on a worldwide scale without their input. But with cephalopods.

probably posting two honeypot newbie trap questions but what the hell is there a power that i can get later that lets me spam two grenades a second like that other guy was just now also is there any reason not to just use the roller at all times, it seems so far like the best most controllable weapon i only briefly played splatoon 1 so i have little awareness of this stuff

Ciaphas posted:also is there any reason not to just use the roller at all times, it seems so far like the best most controllable weapon There is no reason not to, but the roller is in kind of an awkward place right now. It's a good weapon class, but is extremely finicky, to the point where if you're even slightly off on your shot, you're not going to get the kill, eat poo poo, and die. I play Splat Roller primarily, so yeah, rollers are great, if used right. Edit: Go away, Eight. Nobody asked you.

No! Ink saver sub and curling bombs give me crazy speed and mobility. It's what makes maining a sploosh-o-matic work for me. You can't take that away!

It's a lot of fun while it lasts.

Ciaphas posted:actually nah it’s cool but i should probably stop and focus and git gud at a weapon instead of switching so much do try to find a weapon that you feel comfortable using, but remember that there are A LOT of weapons to choose from, each with vastly different kits and gameplay styles. take just a bit of time explore them all. the weapons shop has a test feature, but there's no substitute for a few rounds of turf war to really get a feel for each weapon (once you get enough cash to purchase them) also understand that your "main" will probably switch a few times. i've switched dozens of times since release, currently repping the clash blaster neo

diff guns and buffs for diff modes is the way to go. aerospray mg with special saver and tenacity for splat zones mini splatlings or tri-slosher with ink savers and walk speed up for tower control splooshmatic with curling bombs and swim speed into oblivion for rainmaker anything for clam blitz, i am still awful at it turf war is fun to test new weapons in, though. just find something that seems to be fun and gets you points towards the objective

Ciaphas posted:there are modes besides turf war? You need to reach level 10 to do so. The reasoning behind this is because Turf Wars is intended to drill one of the basic concepts of the game into your head. Map control. Having good map control makes it much easier to get around the map and do things. Though it can take a while to get to level 10.

Visualize it like a laser pointer, you can even play with one joycon in each hand if it helps. Go through all of the single-player portion using gyro if you haven't done it already, it's very good as a training course.
