Fun fact, ketchup was a hundreds of years old Malay/Chinese sauce made from pickled fish, until some Americans tried it in the 19th century and said "what if we put tomato and sugar in this instead of fish?"

Another fun fact, mayo is garbage, if it touches your food you should put it in the trash can.

Are there any more details about the photo mode being unlocked by amiibos? Like is it a thing you just unlock and can do whenever or do you need to tap an amiibo anytime you want to take a photo? And is it amiibo only or will there be a non-amiibo way to unlock it?

You need an amiibo to use photo mode, and to enable photo mode you must scan your amiibo in the plaza every time. In my opinion, they should make photo mode available to everyone, and make posing with your amiibo an exclusive feature. Everyone else can just pose by themselves like sad, lonely squids. Oh well.

That sucks. I hoped it was something like “unlocks with an amiibo or after you beat single player and reach level 50” or something. Your idea of amiibo specific models/poses/filters would also be good.

What is a "hurtbox"

The collision mesh that determines whether the projectile hits or misses a target. The 2.2.0 patch notes had the change for Dualies of "Slightly increased the size of hit detection between each shot and the player, making it easier to hit an opponent." Apparently slightly was supposed to be 1.25x bigger, not 1.5x bigger.

No idea, I did it piece by piece, just playing a few levels when I didn't feel like doing online stuff. Each stage takes between 1-5 minutes per weapon, so that's: (27 stages + 5 bosses) * 9 weapons * ~2.5min avg = ~12 hours, I guess.

Edit: I kept my attention by setting goals like trying to kill octolings as efficiently as possible, or getting through the stages as fast as I could, etc.

The world record for 1000% speedruns is 13 hr 47 min.

Those definitely wouldn't be abused while seabagging

You don't see emotes from the opposing team, which is why they seabag.

I think a "danger" emote would be useful for when someone pings that they are going to jump to you. You can't convey "Here is not safe" with "Booyah" or "This Way", unless you intentionally die so you can say "Ouch"

Any game can be an esport if you have the money to spare. Microsoft could hold a minesweeper tournament with a ten million dollar prize pool if they wanted to. That doesn't necessarily mean much.

That said, do they not have dedicated servers for tournament matches, at least?

It’s still P2P, but in a LAN so connection issues aren’t a problem.

Besides, all the high level minesweeper players don’t use Microsoft’s version.

Splatzones is the best Ranked mode. All the other modes people only play because they're waiting for Splatzones to rotate back up

I wish that the Thunderdome Shifty Station from a while ago would become a new ranked mode. Basically like Splatzones, but every 30 - 60 seconds, the zone(s) become locked off and whoever won it keeps it. Then, everyone moves to trying to control a different zone (or pair of zones)

It has to reset the hub to open/close the gate to GrizzCo.

Presumably the hub doesn't stay in memory during games. When you leave a lobby because maps rotated and Salmon Run has opened/closed, it could just load the hub with the gate open/closed without the intro. I think it's more the case that they want to announce that SR is available rather than a technical issue like that.

In theory, the popular choice should win 75% of the time, since the unpopular choice needs to win two coin-flips to take it. In reality, the results are 14-17 in favor of the unpopular choice. What's interesting though is that for Splatfests where multiple regions participated (for example, Pulp vs No Pulp was both North America and Europe), the popular choice has a terrible record of 1-7. You'd expect the solo and team results to be close to a coin flip because with a large group of players and a decent matchmaking system should trend towards most players winning half of the time. What I assume is happening is when they combine the results of different regions, you have two or three different pools of players that only play and get matched within their pool, and when the results of these pools are combined, it introduces a bias toward the unpopular side.

So if you want to be strategic and earn those extra 3 snails the winner gets, choose the side you think will be popular if it's a single region Splatfest and the side you think will be unpopular if it's a multi-region Splatfest.
