Welcome to my Splat Shrine, at the top of the page is all of my Splatoon links on my site, I also just ramble at the bottom of this site. I really like Frye lol.

The AWFUL catalog system (11/13/24)

Guys... I lost my splatoon fixation after final fest happened. It'll be back eventually once Splatoon 4 is revealed but wanna really know what caused me to just drop Splatoon 3 cold turkey? The catalog. So back in the beginning of Splatoon 3, September 2022, the catalog system worked wonders! But that was because I was so hyped and hyperfocused to the game.
Unfortunately, over time as content shrinks more and more every season, there's less of a reason to have to play... except for the catalog. In Splatoon 2, I only got up to level 52 and played about 500 hours because I wanted to (and also I didn't have a job lol), while Splatoon 3 held me on ransom daily or I would have to play for at least an hour every day if I was slacking and not playing daily. For most of 2024 I was in this cycle for Splatoon because of the catalog system and hated it but felt the need to complete every single one. So now that Splatoon 3 is over, I have completely dropped the game lol. I didn't even bother to play online for Splatoween besides 3 matches.
At least I can now play whenever I want ^_^
The worst thing about me losing my fixation for Splatoon for rn is... I'm not as obsessed over Frye anymore and I have fallen for another fictional character now... Well it's also because I'm just upset that the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook got way more attention than Deep Cut got for all of 2024. Once Side Order came out, it kind of just felt like most people just focused on only OTH again sigh. I know for sure that OTH are the fan favorite idols and most dgaf about Deep Cut v_v. I'm going to really miss Frye, Shiver, and Big Man

Anyways lets get into Side Order (3/1/24)

Welcome to the dlc that's literally just a hour of Pearl and Marina flirting with each other in an elevator, that is good. What is not good is the actual variety in floors, there is not enough to rationalize the amount of times you HAVE to replay over and over again. You have to play through the spire 12 times to 100% the DLC, that would be alright if there were more types of levels than just "catch fast guys, splat zones, hit the stick, and pop the portals" or more areas to fit those types into. Danger and bonuses help with making gameplay more unique but that can only go so far... My second biggest problem is the bosses, there are 3 besides smollusk (which is my new comfort character lolz), I feel like there should be like 5 to really make every spire run more randomized. I do really like Eight's palette challenge, limiting the amount of color chips you can get if you have too many hacks on, it's fun making the game harder!
Something that genuinely upsets me is the fact that the game glosses over agent 4, they are right there stuck as the security for the spire as smollusk forced them to. Why the heck doesn't Marina do anything about this? This is funny for allowing my friend Niro to make millions of angst art of his agent 4 oc being turned into this guard but this is a plotline Nintendo didn't bother to ever go into. Why put agent 4's palette in the lockers, why put agent 4 even in the game if you aren't actually going to do anything with it?!
Ok I'm too tired talking about the game, I'm just going to talk about the things I found in the files. Splatfest and the easter splatfest props in Inkopolis square are already in the game, (WIP, going to work 3/1/24, never came back to this sorry.)
