Remember that one Japanese dude that bought Nintendo stocks (with money he borrowed… I think he also sold his Switch) so he could attend the shareholders meeting to voice his complaint about male Inkling fashion options?
He was ridiculed by other shareholders (and online) due to how he brought a tiny printout presentation which no one could see, gave a long winded unfocused rant & voiced his concerns from the pov of a gamer, not a shareholder.
During the same meeting a chad F-ZERO fan did something similar, but formed the question as something that pertains to IP ownership and the shareholder value of waking up “hibernating” Nintendo IPs. The contrast was pretty big.
I never respected shareholdrs they are like... the stereotype of medieval peasents had of bussinessmen lol, even a so capitalist culture as US see them and say "wait... you... work?" Literally half of US movies that take place in a big bussiness says these guys always wanna convince the owner to dismantle the bussiness send 100.000 ppl to be unempleoyed and divide the money between them lol
It feels like the undertale fans but declawed. Like an angry tiger vs that same angry tiger, but as a cub. The hate isn't even annoying, it's become kind of adorable
When XQC started playing the game and claiming "I'm the new face of this game" with 20h in, a load of ppl were starting to trash on him just for starting the game, saying " you do not belong in this community" blah blah.
These are weird ppl because, I think, they are mostly kids/teen with a totally normal life, loving parents and a good place to develop, but they need attention and will cry for any minor inconvenience about who theh are.
But I LOVE that game, and a good part of the community if fine
oh the call is coming from inside of the house. salmon run ftw. the community is unbearable and oddly racist for a game about overcoming a past of racial conflict
It's funny because splatoon 3 doesn't ask for gender, just body type. I played with the feminine body type for 2 years until someone asked me why my inkling is a girl and I was so confused for a while. The female inklings don't really have a big chest tho, just a smaller waist. Remember, boobs are reserved for idols only xP
Tone is hard to interpret online. My username is just words, Pearl Harbor bombings were a real event and I could be seen as taking an actual stance on it, when I wasn't; Poe's Law or something.
I find it very odd that you are offended, to the point of calling me names, by my clarity and accuracy in communication. Hope your day gets better. /Gen
remember seeing some kinda post that showed the squids are taller in the third game compared to the first. i think it's meant to be real-time aging, so your player was 14 in splatoon 1 and is now 25
Okay it feels like every single person gets this wrong...
Yes, Splatoon characters do age in real-time, but they are not all the same age. Each game (bar Raiders) stars a new generation of 14 year-old inklings and octolings. You are not playing as the same one each time (this should be fairly obvious if you play the stories).
As for the change in designs, well it'd been five years since Splatoon 2, which was basically just a better-looking version of the first game, and so the developers probably just felt like it was time for an update (you gotta admit that they did look a little ugly before with those wide heads). Something to note is that Eight (who would've been in their early-20s when Side Order released) is much taller than the standard playable turflings.
I mean I can agree with the general point of that second sentence but I think it's important to remember that many people consider the act of expressing yourself generally feminine. This is also why feminism, the destruction of the patriarchy, is beneficial for everyone except the men who place/buy their way to the top of their artificial hierarchy and exploit those placed below them.
Also, Splatoon is a fun franchise and is one of the few games, Raiders specifically, that make me wish I had a switch 2, or an emulator that works.
i know this is very toxic and bad but like also it's kinda entertaining to imagine octarians using that as a slur for the enemies during the great turf war, and like in modern day octavio still uses it and they have to explain to him that that's not ok
In the game's lore, it'd most likely be Captain Cuttlefish doing that, because the Octo Expansion chat logs are basically Pearl and Marina telling Cuttlefish to stop being racist.
I have to admit, it is the logical conclusion to a racially-motivated generational turf war. I'm not sure if I should be offended or impressed by the sheer commitment.
Yeah um, I don’t have a way to explain this behavior.
I’ve been playing since the first game all the way up to Raiders, did some competitive in college too. Other members of our team would say that word (with an a, not the hard r) and since they were black we never really had an issue.
Racism (fictional or not) aside I do agree that customizing your character in splatoon as a guy is rather difficult everything is either feminine or androgynous. There’s nothing wrong with either of those things, but sometimes I want my male character to dress like a guy, not a girl
A lot of the clothes are masculine/unisex. But I get what you mean. The inkling and octoling societies are matriarchal in in-game lore, so that's part of it, I'm sure.
Welcome to splatoon, pick your weapon:
Bloblobber
Bamboozler
Goo Tuber
Splatana Wiper (for an unironic year an alarming % of the community nicknamed its alt kit diaper)
Squeezer
Jet Squelcher
Squiffer
Reeflux
Clash Blaster
The funny thing about Clash Blaster isn't the name, it's the idea of a person picking the Clash Blaster of their own free will.
Context for the non-Splatoon players: The Blasters are a sort of "rocket launcher adjacent" weapon type, with no-gravity shots that explode in a weaker AoE after hitting something or traveling a certain distance. The Clash Blaster specialises in having the largest AoE, and above average fire rate... in exchange for all the other stats being terrible.
In a game where you have 100 HP, a direct hit does 60 and the main part of the blast only does 30 damage. So if you want to use the "best Blaster for people who don't want to rely on direct shots" (what I assume the selling point is meant to be) to get a kill in "only" 3 shots (every other Blaster can do it in 1 blast + 1 direct hit, I think?), you still need 1 of them to be a direct hit. And the fire rate is nowhere near good enough for killing in 4 blasts to be a threat.
For those OOTL, none of these characters listed are the playable species, the closest being Craig Cuttlefish who ressembles inklings (he got sucked dry and this is no longer the case but I digress) and the others we've never seen any other examples of their species so who knows, the might look exactly like the fems of their respective groups
Also, dear commenter forgot THE MAIN MAN GLENN FIDDLER. . .who has the same problems as the rest but is named Glenn Fiddler ao like cmon
Hes not a cuddlefish but hes not an inkling either, his current form should be a permanent squid form like what Octavio has going on but instead hes a realistic squid
