This weekend, a 12 year old won #SWS26. 11 years and 2 days prior, on August 7, 2015, the first western #CompSplatoon tournament commenced: Ink or Sink. Sena was 1. Is this what feeling old is like?

tbh, couldn't have asked for a better conclusion to #sws26. is there a feat more impressive than dropping to losers in the first round and winning the whole bracket? the gameplay that rush brought to the table, especially out of sena and goyame, was straight up ridiculous
Thank you to all the staff, production, and players that made Splat World Series 2026 / #sws26 possible! youtu.be/9tpGfhBzVTs

My POV of Content Cat's losers bracket run in In The Zone 52 is up on my VOD's channel! Sets are marked as video chapters. I might not have been the main character yesterday, but I think especially by the end I was really understanding how to be a great teammate with 52 gal 🔗 youtu.be/vbqETrOpWRc

Cooking up the most basic splatoon 3 YouTube video this week. I have such high expectations for myself that I never have the time or tools to act on my ACTUAL YouTube vision for myself. But you know what? I’m going to humble myself and just start very very basic. Something’s better than nothing????
I would like to see Splatoon casters make a 90% reduction in the use of the words "fortunately" and "unfortunately." Most of the time, we know which team thinks a thing is good and which team thinks a thing is bad. Unless it was actually luck-based or the audience really may not know, it's brainrot
