vtent players. stent players. we may have our differences but at the end of the day we are united by the fact that our weapon doesnt have a third kit
Big bubbler is an anchor special and I'm tired of pretending it's not
Stuck at a certain point in the bottomless buffet because i refuse to play it until i've finished a build and the game is refusing to drop the gadget parts i need for the build. just stuck running in circles in bay gull beach forever
Can we as a community come together and please stop allowing zones shipshape in our maplists? It has the exact same issues as flounder but arguably worse somehow and we have ostracized that one so we can do it again if we believe hard enough
Now that I'm out of the raiders honeymoon period, my thoughts on raiders is that while it is quite simple and minimalistic, it achieved what it set out to do but not much else. Its really refreshing to go from 3 to raiders but I wish there was more. Praying DLC expands on its endgame and progression
going from deltarune lore videos to [insert game here] is such a breath of fresh air. they can point out the themes, links between characters and theorise about future developments all while not feeling the need to call things the "X is Y theory" and not getting mad at the writers for being "vague"
is there a single person that likes that the search feature in the taskbar also searches the internet? like i'm looking to open obs, not open a browser to search for the app i already have downloaded. who asked for this????
So do we have a reliable way of farming spiralite gems or is it literally just do bottomless buffet and cross your fingers?
I take it back. not a hot take at all but torqscrew is the best individual gadget when looked at in isolation
Idk if this is a hot take or not but jump bomb is the best gadget and i wont hear arguments to the contrary
kinda playing raiders in reverse where i'm playing the endgame so i can get the stuff i need to optimise my farms instead of farming to optimise my endgame
i keep looking at the tempura den as a farming spot because it seems so perfectly designed as one but the enemy spawns feel to slow and level too low to actually get any good results
looking at the stats for my short is so weird because i have no reference point for what should be considered a successful or underperforming short for my channel and how shorts should perform compared to longform videos. i'm just looking at 500 views in 5 hours and i'm like 'ok'
all i'm saying is if splatoon 4 was free to play, it would be a lot easier to capitalise off of raiders' success
If Nintendo takes one thing away from Raiders for the main series it should be some form of customization. Every single person I have played with has had a completely different build, and they are all powerful in their own ways. Please devs give us some form of weapon customization in S4 beyond gear
Idk if this is a hot take or not but jump bomb is the best gadget and i wont hear arguments to the contrary
Idk who thought this was a god idea but damage reduction in raiders stacks additively so it is very easy to achieve complete invincibility. only sources of DR i know of are torqscrew, splatchet (eh) and squid endurance abilities so it's probs a rare stat but i'm sure there's ways to abuse that
bosses really have to be a sore spot for raiders because omg their HP pools are insanely big and feel really bad if you happen to die right at the end (a thing that totally didnt just happen to me)
Scorch damage is weird. i dont know how exactly it works but it scales off of your level and gadget damage and seems anaffected by fermented. I also have no idea if the AoE from ignate actually damages in an AoE or just spreads the Scorch status. i also have no idea if the info is already out there
using raiders music in videos is going to be hell. the music is good but there are just random annoying sounds that briefly overpower my voice and distract from what i'm saying
had my first splatoon raiders crash the moment i picked up a the chest after a difficult level
done a bit of testing and it looks like a lot of the damage increases you get from this game are true multipliers. like the power tank is a rtue 20%. fermentation is a true 20%. the weapon upgrade for bonus damage on frozen targets. i can see the power ceiling in raiders getting very very high
Me: I should give my hands rest after playing raiders all day *begins typing a splatoon raiders script*
No I'm not addicted to splatoon raiders! I can stop whenever I want
Raiders is actually forcing me to be an octoling because omg I hate all the squid hairstyles
I can't exactly put my finger on it but squid rolling on raiders feels off somehow. There's just something about it that's not what it's like in splatoon 3
Trust me to find out last second that I'm going to be pretty busy on raiders release day. If I can I might squeeze in a release stream but I can't go for anywhere near as long as I had hoped ;-;
