so who thinks this game will still have unskippable “here’s the levels atm!” bits at the start and only two stages at a time

I hope so


I mean, I'm ok with it being partially skippable but the stage rotation is good

They need to at least upgrade it to three at once. Two isn’t enough.

The 8bitdo Pro 2 was on sale for £30 so I thought I’d pick it up as a Splatoon controller. Set the back paddles to B and X so I can jump and check the map without moving my thumb off the right stick and it works really well plus the controller is excellent and easily as good as people say

Also testing it was the first time I’d played the game in a couple years and MAN I forgot how much I love it and how fun it is. Gonna have to stop myself from playing a ton so I don’t burn myself out before 3.

Not Off The Hook. Seems like they’re a normal band in 3.

We’ll probably find out in the next Direct. I hope they do another beta.

yeah they talk about it quite a bit in the chatlogs you can get in the dlc

MC.Princess = pearl, DJ_Hyperfresh = marina, CraigCuttlefish = that old guy

■Webmaster■ > DJ_Hyperfresh has joined the chatroom.
DJ_Hyperfresh > Whew, I'm back. Sorry about that!
MC.Princess > Yo welcome back. Where u been tho?
DJ_Hyperfresh > Sorry, I dozed off at home for a bit...
CraigCuttlefish > welcome back young lady im glad you are here
DJ_Hyperfresh > Uh... What's with him?
MC.Princess > Sorry, squid's outta the bag. He brought out his top secret Octarian file and everything
DJ_Hyperfresh > ...
MC.Princess > That's on me, Marina. I never meant to dig into your past
DJ_Hyperfresh > Um...
MC.Princess > See old dude here used to fight against the Octarians
CraigCuttlefish > no fan of the Inkantation is a foe of mine. i dont see species
MC.Princess > See? everything's totally cool. kinda
DJ_Hyperfresh > ...
CraigCuttlefish > you are so articulate marina
DJ_Hyperfresh > wow
MC.Princess > Sorry... I mean, I always knew you were different, even if we never talked about it. I always figured...you know... with the jokes and stuff...
DJ_Hyperfresh > I never knew how to talk to you about it. Do you think...
DJ_Hyperfresh > Do you think I'll still be welcome in Inkopolis? Once everyone knows I'm an Octoling?
MC.Princess > ARE YOU KIDDING? Of course you will! everyone loves you!
DJ_Hyperfresh > Thanks, Pearlie. ;__;
MC.Princess > OK stop it with the waterworks before I change my mind
CraigCuttlefish > agent 8 is also an octarian but also appreciates the inkantation
MC.Princess > It all makes sense now
DJ_Hyperfresh > I could tell right away that Agent 8 had also been touched by the Calamari Inkantation.
DJ_Hyperfresh > Once our souls have been freed, there's no way we can continue to live under the oppression of Octarian society.

quote:

MC.Princess > So, I went back to Inkopolis Square to buy some juice, and like
MC.Princess > There's a bunch of Octolings just hanging out!
CraigCuttlefish > The Octarians are upon us
DJ_Hyperfresh > I'm so happy! It's all the Octolings who were reborn when they heard the Calamari Inkantation!
CraigCuttlefish > No fan of the Inkantation is a foe of mine. I don't see species.
MC.Princess > Yeah... anyway, this is amazing!

quote:

MC.Princess > But right after that we formed Off the Hook and recorded Ebb & Flow. That song sold like crabby cakes
CraigCuttlefish > Off what hook now?
MC.Princess > You seriously don't know? Geez old man. It's the name of the group me and Marina are in
CraigCuttlefish > Is it fresh?
MC.Princess > is it fresh? Come on my dude
MC.Princess > But furreal tho, the reviews of our first show had me worried for a minute there
DJ_Hyperfresh > Yeah, they described me as "the tall exotic-looking girl standing next to Pearl."
MC.Princess > BAHAHA
MC.Princess > Yeah, after that first show, the few fans I had kinda fell off
MC.Princess > But we won em back eventually.
tl;dr: pearl knew for a while, also at least some people are still weird about octos at that point in time

It helps that in-universe, Inklings are not very smart, so Pearl is just like "this is my friend who is completely normal" and these dinguses are like "that checks out"

You can wear a skirt with any hairstyle so that's an improvement

But I hope so, they were the most disappointing thing in 2

Even if it's just better styles rather than more

I wonder what the ability slots on gear will be like this time around. I spent far too much time trying to get the same thing in each slot for all my gear and I am dreading going through that again.

No one left uncured.
I got you.
Please god, Nintendo, just let us put our choice of big and small abilities on any piece of gear, let us dress our squidkids and spec our squidkids independently, hell, even if you still have whatever irritating system for rolling specs on stuff it will be infinitely better if it's decoupled from how stuff looks.

I feel like Nintendo wants people to just always be equipping whatever to look good and have the stats you have, but, that's just not how a lot of people think. Half of game design is figuring out how to meet people where they are.
