My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
If it was just that vague SOS, it'd be one thing. But it's clearly spelling out a message there. So that's definitely an actual teaser of some kind.

After years of over-harvesting their eggs, Inklings finally realize that Salmonids are going extinct and a new mode is born: Environmentalist Inklings must escort breeder Salmonids through a barrage of low-paid, but well-equipped Grizzco workers.

Or maybe not.

More salmoning content would actually be pretty fresh.

It's the one part of the game that felt kind of lacking after a while. I know Octo Expansion had a big part in that, but more salmoning content would be rad.

I was playing Salmon Run on Ruins of Polaris Ark, and after jumping off of one of the rails, I landed right on the side of an emerging Maws. Instead of getting splatted, I went flying up into the air and landed safely.

Is this a known thing? It looked really bizarre because I went flying up super high.

Probably. Maw's kill box is smaller than their entire physics model when they bite at the end of their animation. You can get pushed up in the air by them but if you're off to the side enough you won't get splatted. Sounds like you hit some weird edge case coming down at full speed onto their sloped side and WEEEEE happened

yea definitely would like to see a little more meat on it. personally besides more maps, itd be good to stratify the ranks a bit more - it cant be fun for lower-ranked profreshionals to be matched up with me and have quota and boss spawns be double of what theyre used to and spend more time as a donut than actually playing the game

just under 11 hours left in the rotation - i see a lot of folks getting their first 999s or clearing their first hazard level maxes so if you were thinking about putting those notches in your gun you still got plenty of time

I almost exclusively play Splatoon in handheld, so I’m thinking about getting a Lite just for that, and leaving the regular Switch docked for the kids.

Does the lack of rumble on the Lite bother anyone in Splatoon? Once I move my save over, is it possible to still play my account on the other switch?

You can always turn off rumble on your normal Switch and see if it bugs you while playing.

You can indeed do that to your second question via cloud saves.

I thought Splatoon 2 was one of the games that didn't get cloud saves as Nintendo didn't want people to be able to manipulate their save data stats. Did something change?

Oh poo poo, that’s right. Nevermind then. You’re stuck with one save on one system at once.

I somehow overlooked the Splash-o-Matic series up until now even though I really like the N-Zaps. Is there any difference between them? It seems like maybe the Splashes have a more concentrated stream of fire with less horizontal coverage, but that's the only difference I'm noticing.

They're pretty similar weapons. The Splash has more accuracy over the n-zap at the expense of slightly shorter range, but they are otherwise very similar. So, your hunch was correct. It also passively paints the ground between you and your target slightly better too, I guess.

lots of double digit revives lately which im chalking up to newbies from the christmas intake and the grizzco rotation putting workers out of their depth but honestly its a lot of fun playing hero

as an aside lately ive been reading a lot of players on the tweets or discords still blaming weapons or randoms or maps or controls or pretty much anything else except for their own suboptimal gameplay when they lose, which is kind of embarrassing in tyool 2020. please dont be the "everyone sucks but me" guy

yep its a random weapon with a chance to get the grizzco charger, which is extra super cod tier on this map. even without it though the weapon set in this rotation is reaaaally busted - 52 gal, bloblobber, squiffer. it can pretty much handle any threat so you can do really well with it

I've gotten myself into S+0 on Splat Zones!

I'm still in the A ranks for the other modes. I've noticed though that now, when I go back to playing Turf Wars, the match ups feel insanely easy sometimes if I get matched up with a bunch of people who are probably new to the game. I've had games where I got twice as many splats as anyone else in the match.

Now that Splatfests are gone, the best way to get in a really exciting and competitive turf war battle is to play with the squid kids in the nintengoons discord. I wish there was ranked turf war too though.
