finished up the splat3 splatfest yesterday! apparently team rock won in the americas region with paper in second (yay us) and paper got swept after haltime by tricolor
honestly had a ton of fun and looking forward to the full release next week (even if i cant buy it yet ;v; )
and some highlights
ngl had a LOT of fun w tricolor and i think the real secret to victory there is using the big bubble or better long range defense
I was playing Splatoon 3 but maybe not as much as other people. I never got the tricolor matches.
I also noticed there was something off about the controls. Maybe marathoning Splatoon 2 before hand was not a good idea. And the reason I didn't spend too long on the 3rd game is I just ended up switching back to 2 and playing that instead in my free time.
yeah between game lag and differences in notion controls it definitely felt kinda off but tolerable enough that i could bear
as for tricolor i kept having to check coz those didnt start till the second half of the splatfest so i figured id at least do a handful before going back to regular matches which were open the whole event either way
i wish i wouldve had more time to play but wound up stuck at work for the majority of the day during the fest so hopefully whatever bugs are ironed out by release or whenever i get enough money to buy the full thing since im likely missing preorder
once gain i am bit in the rear by my endless hunt for cosmetics in sky there's currently a season of enchantment ts and ive been dying to get at least one cape from one of that seasons spirits but im outta dang hearts
i already bought the ones from each realms spirits so theres no getting any there and i only managed to get the two of the three i need coz of todays quest for season of shattering
id like ask in the official discord if anyone would be willing to do a heart trade coz ive got the candles for it but idk the rules around those kinds of requests
@Lensing cool. whats new with mine craft? havent played in in years
me pleyin...
SPOON 3! but like officially this time and more specifically
it's SOOO soo good thus far and i'm like really enjoying all the lore stuff thats packed into this one! I'll admit there's some in-between stuff that feels like is missing (gaps of events between the ending or splatoon 2's story mode as well as things from octo expansion and how they carry over to 3) but that aside it's been really strong so far and the gameplay for it is really nice
i also didn't realize there was a splatfest goin on when i booted in the first time so i joined team gear and surprisingly we won by the end of it all. didn't really spend that much time on splatfest battles tho (got too wrapped up in story mode) and the lack of tricolor battles really made it feel boring so i figured i'd spice things up myself and hop into salmon run which despite all the chaos in it was actually fun. i think a good number of crew wipes would've been avoided had teammates communicated better but that aside it was alright and we managed to clear a few king salmonids so it's been good so far
@conventurecomics cool. im trying to get all the endings lol
whose your favorite char in the game?
now playing...
still splatting and i've decided that challenges with time limits, targets or both are my least fave
it's taken so many hours and so much anxiety to get past some of em and i literally made the fool of myself aiming for the wrong target in one part and dying constantly when all i had to do was turn around and look where i was going
ngl tho some of the challenges have been really really fun so i'm focusing on those instead also madly in love with the boss fights and even more so the music (i wanna put it in my mouth) like i'm always a sucker for a good soundtrack but it really helps with building athmosphere in the hubs and then actual level music itself just mmm good (except the bing bing track it's like such a bad earworm and the fact that there's a few notes that sounds like amogus is have to immediately jump to other areas so it doesn't get stuck plus they have no end so it's got that stuck in your head till it's finished thing but no finish)
also just peeped sky and THEY FINALLY HAVE A TS FROM SEASON OF THE LITTLE PRINCE!!! I've been waiting for this to happen for forever!! It's the beckoning ruler so i just got the level 3 emote and his crown hair but ahhhh! I'm so happy that lil prince spirits are def in the official rotation now XD honestly dunno if the chance to get the fox plush will ever come back around but i have some hope at least
trying to enjoy splatoon but my petty pet peeves are kicking in and i don't wanna be sick of this game yet given the price it's fun at least half of the time but random queue with hasn't reaped very many good teamates and on the rare occassion it does connection issues totally wreck that salmon run especially has been grueling and like imo it's not that tough a game mode if you know what bosses to take out first, how to manuever and mow down lesser salmons and then just...using the communication functions implemented in the game (so many preventable crew wipes had folks just used the help button or listened to a given this way....)
in better news season of aurora is comin in four days and i'm HYPE!!! Aurora (the singer behind runaway) is collabing with tgc again (she does the vocals for one of the main opening cutscenes as well as the song that plays in the game credits) and it's a WHOLE SEASON with more songs (i kinda peeped beta spoilers) but i'm so so excited for this one! I dont think i'll be buying an adventure pass this go round coz i'm not that interested in the cosmetics but i'm super looking forward to it and i know for sure i'll probably get super emotional over this one like i did season of the little prince so i'm just kinda holding my breath waiting
I also have some frustrations with the game which I hope will eventually be patched. The graphics and environments look nice but I feel like the gameplay and weapons have been a bit nerfed. I don't really enjoy playing the PvP battles and ended up spending more time on the Salmon Run. I also really hate that beach level in the PvP, it's not enjoyable at all. I think the one player mode is OK but a bit too short. The card game is also OK.
I think whats been most interesting with this is tradeoffs coz some weapons got shorter range in exchange for higher damage or higher range in exchange for accuracy and so on especially when you compare them to new weapons
as for maps i think what i've done is just kind of built a variety of weapons that i'm decent with so i can trade out depending on what maps are in circulation. tri-stringer ironically wound up being my strongest so long as i can time my shots/get the angles right meanwhile it's a mix of splatlings, shooters and splatanas that have worked where stringers kind of miss (and for some reason i've been doing better(?) on the new maps as opposed to recurring ones)
i'm honestly hoping serves issues improve as more folks migrate but honestly who knows at this point (p sure there's still foks playing splat 1 so ???)
i managed to drag out story mode a bit with some of the target based and timed challenged kicking my ass and i'm honestly just kind of staring at after alterna coz as much as i want the headband i know i'm not getting it
and i couldn't really figure out tableturf so if it were ingame im just collecting the cards for the pictures than actually playing
I played through the Scratchin' Melodii demo last night and I'd recommend it!
Its a cute lil' Parappa the Rapper style rhythm game that's worth looking into just for all the animation that went into it. The demo is free to play, and takes less than an hour.
season of AURORA started yesterday in Sky and first quest literally had me in tears it probably ties into emotions i have with just the song itself but hearing her voice and then watching events in the spirit memory play out i totally cracked but it was a good cry~ the cosmetics are super pretty too and seem to be based on outfits Aurora herself has worn for various songs and performances so now I'm like really tempted to try and also save for an adventure pass (next to like every other expense) but aaahhh it's even got a mask based on her look in cure for me which has been my fave song to jam to recently so i really really am looking forward to what this season will have to offer!~ I just love Aurora's voice so to have her sound guiding us through the kingdom of sky beyond just our first and "last" moments in the game is exciting <3
I'm playing Overwatch 2 and its so weird because if you DON'T know, the game basically feels like a game that was in development for awhile then something went horribly wrong and the entire team had to change. Which, hey, that's cool, I guess, I can give it a shot, but its a little funky when you're playing and like "Haha! Heroes never die! Oh, right, the voice actress was murdered over her success for this game. Well at least I can use this emote and, oh, right, it was animated by some guy who stole his coworker's breast milk"
I started playing prominence poker on the playstation.
You can play it online without having to pay for playstation plus.
The game is also completely free.
I stopped playing red dead redemption because it was getting boring
and I was mostly playing poker in rdr anyway.
I also stopped playing skribbl.io, it is a fun drawing game but the kids
who are playing it are too annoying
Sky x AURORA collab concert in 2 days. On the outside I'm in the inside I'm
This season is on par with if not even better than Little Prince which is the season i started playing during and I've been wowed again and again with each song and it's accompanying stories and based on the trailer the concert looks like it's going to be AMAZING so I'm like super nervocited about this thing. Also the scale for the event looks like it's gonna be huge so I'm like super amped to be surrounded by so many other skykids and experiencing it all at the same time with them
There's also big run this weekend so I'm getting hit back to back with big in game events. I'm not nearly as hyped for this one as I am the Aurora concert but it'll at least be interesting. I guess I can chock up part of my lack of excitement to the idea of doing what's essentially still salmon run but with folks who've never played the game mode but like...I'mma do what I can to still have fun with it coz despite it's challenges SR is my favorite game mode. Data miners found a good chunk of stuff about it so it seems like it'll be pretty cool in terms of music and atmosphere but the prizes seem kinda meh and there doesn't seem to be any stakes in terms of anything happening to Wahoo World post Big Run. If anything I think I'm just looking forward to plaza memes and other players reactions ( = ω = )
