Hey guys I play Splatoon once a week at my friend's house because I feel too much guilt from being a freeloading NEET to buy my own WiiU.

[Bamyasi]

Uhhh why would I want to be soup if he doesn't have Splatoon?

[soup]

thats a really valid point i cant even argue with that

So I just finished the singleplayer (slowpoke I know, but I did just start a few days ago, and some of those scrolls were a bitch to find). I definitely have a much fuller appreciation for the game, almost to the point I think everyone should play the singleplayer before the multiplayer (hearing the credits music alone for the first time is almost worth the full retail price). The game as a whole is a lot smarter/funnier than most people who haven't read all the scrolls could possibly give it credit for (unless 4chan/tumblr spilled the ink for them idk), certainly more than Undertale, or at the very least subtler (see also: a knee to the crotch). I can confidently say it's the most artistically adept thing Nintendo EAD has developed since Mario Galaxy (not that it has much to compete with besides Skyward Sword (really I'm just saying Skyward Sword sucks)).

Here are the things I liked most about it:
[spoiler]

• You had to piece together the story from the seacret scrolls in non-linear fashion.
• The singleplayer campaign basically has you enacting a hilarious/cute genocide (but without any moral pandering (i.e. it didn't insult your intellect)).
• The game is post-apocalyptic, with cephelopods having become the dominate species after humans rekt themselves (so basically it's more realistic than your average western game).
• I literally did not get that last part until I found the scroll with the human skeleton and the notes speculating as to what kind of creature it could be because I am stupid.
• Seriously I don't know I could have been so squidiotic (well, I do, but that's beside the point). Whenever someone openly wonders as to what the next animal to evolve into a neotenic land-dweller could be, the answer is always "squids."
• So yeah, it was like a puzzle or something, more than the sum of its parts, which I always find more stimulating than a story tube affixed to every orifice. All <10 hour games should do this. No. Shut up. All of them.
• The credits made me cum rainbow-colored splooge (literally, that's how you uncover the names).
• You've probably read all this praise elsewhere but now you can here too.
• You're a kid now you're a squid now etc.

And on the topic of things that are way cleverer than they're widely accredited for and I didn't get until long after I read them.

[puns] tend to gather like a whirlpool from which naught escapes.

[valiums]

how is that clever

[Unless]

how is that clever

Because 'nautical' is a word that exists, I guess.
I appreciate puns, which are the highest form of wit and unfortunately suffer from people drawing too much emphasis to the fact that they're making a pun whenever they do. I don't appreciate portmanteaux, and at that I particularly dislike sticking 'tastic' onto the end of another word, and at that I particularly dislike it when people claim that sticking 'tastic' onto the end of another word is a pun.

Initially, I was pleasantly surprised by this game's speedy matchmaking. This was quickly offset by the fact that I invariably disconnect from every online Splatoon game I try to join, usually within 10 seconds. If only there were an option to opt into matching only with more local players — I would happily enough go and make some tea whilst waiting ~10 minutes to find a match that I can actually play.
It would appear as though I'm destined to be an unfresh scrublord forever, or at least for now.

Anyway yeah my network ID is miso_solly if anyone wants to splat me.

Mine is Concurrent, I'll send you both requests tonight. Not because it's likely we'll be able to play together, but because I've now announced that I will and it would be awkward for ye to decline. I guess it's a social experiment of sorts, you know, for science.

Lamest excuse ever for the fear of having the splat laid down upon you.

Also congrats for getting val's joke.
