How many ability chunks does it take for you to set up a pure triples on triples anyway?

It takes 10 chunks for the first instance of any given ability on that piece of gear, 20 chunks for the second, and 30 chunks for the third. I usually use drink tickets to boost my chances of getting the ability I want, then keep trying until I roll at least two slots with that ability and use chunks for the third if I have to.

She's got Quick Super Jump and Ink Saver Sub, both of those are almost certainly natural. And probably something she got while grinding her shirt under the effects of a Sub Power Up drink.

Because sean's drinks don't work at all.

So 180 chunks to hardfix all triples if you refuse to be held hostage to the whims of the slots.

(BTW pay2win gacha is a filthy and expensive habit and I am no longer willing to play any game that relies too heavily on slots/gacha. At least Splatoon 2 lets you reroll and stuff)

Can't wait to use the micspam special bomb :V

Lately the music on the radio has been lackluster compared to Inkopolis music. Off the Hook, Chirpy Chips, and the Squid Sisters are all awesome and have better music sense than all these mass-produced pop artists.

Weapon updates in 4.1:

  • (Neo) Sploosh-O-Matic, (Custom) Splattershot Jr., Aerospray MG (RG): When shots hit, their ink splatter will now extend further forward than it did previously.
  • (Forge) Splattershot Pro: Ink now more likely to land around player’s feet when firing and made the ink splatter that lands closest to the player when firing more likely to land closer to the player than it did previously.
  • .96 Gal (Deco): Extended firing range by roughly 6%.
  • (Gold) Dynamo Roller: Will now also ink turf closer to the player in addition to previous ink coverage when performing a horizontal swing.
  • (Foil) Flingza Roller: Extended range in which a horizontal swing will deal 100.0 or more damage by roughly 5%.
  • (Custom) Goo Tuber: Increased firing range of a minimally charged shot by roughly 27% and firing range of other non-fully charged shots has also been increased slightly.
  • (Zink) Mini Splatling: Ink splatter from fired shots now hits with a wider vertical spread than it did previously.
  • Nautilus 47: Increased velocity of fired shots by roughly 133%, while making no change to firing range.
  • Undercover (Sorella) Brella: While damage from a single shot remains at 40.0, the damage from peripheral ink splatter has been increased from 10.0 to 12.0.
  • Splash Wall: Decreased the time between using the Splash Wall and when ink recovery begins by roughly 15/60 of a second.
  • Tenta Missles: Shortened time between firing of each missile.
  • Splashdown: Decreased reduction of special gauge if the user is splatted in the time between activating the special but before landing with it from 50% to 25%, increased damage dealt by the Splashdown to bubbles fired by the Bubble Blower, ensuring that they will be destroyed if struck by it, and decreased the points required for using the Splashdown special in several of the weapon sets that include it.

Skipper Pavilion is basically an improved Saltspray Rig. I love it.

And the Spirit Booyah Bomb is a super fun special.

As a kid I probably would've gone with Treat, but given that I can now buy my own candy whenever I want I might go for Trick this time. Messing with people is fun.

One could also percieve it as sick tricks. Or how to rock rhyme right on time is tricky.

I was saving my free week for Dark Souls, but I'll bite for this fest and just buy Online for my trip into Lordran.

How did they change Salmon Run leveling? I beat a shift but didn't get more Profresh points.

Oh wow, the new Salmon Run data in the Splatnet 2 app is really good. For a given run, it will tell you the hazard level, what bosses were killed, how many bosses each player killed, when each special was used, and even how many golden eggs were available for the whole wave.

We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.
