STOP DOING MATH meme used for midlevel comp splatoon text reads: STOP BEING MIDLEVEL - PLAYERS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN DIVS - YEARS OF PLUS SERVERS YET NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for going higer than LOW INK - Wanted to go higher anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "SWIM OR SINK" - "Yes please give me a good SQ power. Please give me a good result" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged LOOK at what the midlevels have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the sendouq & weeklies we built for them (This is REAL midlevel, done by REAL midlevel players): [image of SAC badge] ?????

FUC WHEN SIZ IT AGAIN

I NEED TO DRAW MY GAY BUG AND LIZARD

Man... EU splat is so dead. Everywhere I look it's US time. Jared's supercool mid-level thing? Starts at midnight EU. Wanting to help LUTI broadcasting? Most streams start at 1 am EU. Every FA post I see is also US time. I'm not really looking for a team rn but this does make me very sad

It takes me about a week to do serious drawings, a day or three to do effortful doodles (doodle -> Sketch -> Lineart -> Color), and if it’s a comic, maybe about a month.

[Splatoon 3]

Version 11.0.1 accidentally included some balance changes that were intended for a future update.

• Rapid Blaster: Increased the radius inked by spray droplets from shots by about 10%.
• Rapid Blaster Pro: Increased the amount of ink consumed by about 14%.

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

I think i know what it is

This was from Falsetto

She only took pics of what she bought but I do have a quick doodle of where the stuff was

thank goodness it's finally Meat Day

Aesthetically pleasing ink resistance cross

There were these pics from my teammate BobaFox

Funnily enough, me and a lot of other people from the Splatoon(fan art) community are in-between Sonic fanartists and indie game developers/digital artists lol

There’s a lot to take away from this post by Jared. A lot of hard hitting and pill swallowing information midlevel needs to start acting on. This is not a one person thing, this is an entire skill level thing. Midlevel has to do better if we all want to see improvements in the scene an ourselves.

if you're in line at the nitro canceller, STAY IN LINE

Online privacy has been a huge concern for me lately

Just cancelled my nitro

Y'all should do the same

To my dearest pocket of the internet:

I am suddenly thinking about Momotaro.

I wonder who will be the Momotaro of today.

The dog waits. The monkey hides. The pheasant soars.

Save us, Momotaro!

That is all.

That should kill them quickly I think

For all we know they could also just cause a massive oil explosion similar to that of deep frying a turkey

Age regression perception is real…?????

Its that one warioware game mode where they balance on turtles

Oh wow, are we really that small? Lemme zoom in a bit, see if that’s tr—

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH *gets smothered*

A drawing of a red dragon proudly holding up their red kobold. The dangling kobold doesn't look like it's got a single thought forming inside of its head. Alongside the art is the text: I showed you my kobold please respond.

Well?

#Pokemon30

the opposite used to be true, a friend’a mine in high school got mistaken to be in his 30s…

Wonder what this implies for the future

also i'm cancelling my nitro right now. i'm gonna get everyone i can to cancel it too.

Do you hear it?
The clamor of the crowd?
The rumbling of the venue?

Do you feel it?
The chill of the resort pools?
The rush from the water slides?

Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
Can you comprehend it?

Can you go with me?
To experience my reason to live?
It’s okay if you can’t, I’ll be OK.
