I'd say rollers are good on corners, rather than corridors, but Mackerel is full of corners too. I'd run it.

>It was an epochal moment for the military and perhaps for all of society. Screwing up her courage, Air Force First Lieutenant Kara-Ann McBee walked into her commander’s office on the D-Ring of the Pentagon and announced that she was a giant squid.
>Kara was slender and tomboyish, with an upturned nose, freckles, and an attractive brush-cut hairdo. She could have been Tom Sawyer’s sister. She did not appear to be a giant squid.
>“But I am, sir,” she said, rigidly at attention and clearly nervous. “I’ve known it since I was a little girl. I…sir, I am a squid trapped in a woman’s body. I’m trans-phylum, sir.”
>Colonel Gittim sighed. He knew of course about LGBT, which he thought of as Lettuce, Bacon, and Tomato, and he knew there existed crucial military questions about whether boys could use the girls room. Squids were too much.
>But consequences were to follow this modest beginning. Kara-Ann, not particularly militant, said that just wanted to be respected as a cephalopod, although she did say that she thought the Air Force ought to provide her an aquarium to sleep in. But, inevitably, the affair came to the attention of DACOWITS. This was not a Polish mathematician, but the Defense Advisory Commission on Women in the Services.

Why the fuck is Veeky Forums constantly down in the recent days?

...

Why do you people think anything with squids in it is somehow related to Splatoon? Is We Bare Bears fucking allowed on /5n@f/ too?

Just to be sure: Is /nintyg/ finally dead? Is it finally over? Babt died?

No really, Marie is a cuck.
Nearly everyone she fucks has sex with people that aren't her, because they won't remember her as their lover, but some prostitute they paid for concluding an absolutely wild night at Jelonzo's backdoor pub. Her affairs are limited to slimy old men with a pretty penny to spend, because her personality is too repulsive to invite a real relationship. They'll never talk again, and will never share a warm moment.
Meanwhile, Callie finds the man of her dreams after he seats her in a downtown restaurant. The two of them exchange numbers, chat for hours and eventually start dating. He treats her right, never lays a hostile finger on her and remains ever loyal to his dearest, and Callie does the same in return.
Callie may not have as much spending money as Marie, but what she does have is love, dreams and fulfillment.
Callie a best.

I just found it hilarious and wanted to share it here, I know it's not directly related

ded site

That's not even close to what a cuck is.
Even then, do you really think Marie cares? An unloving whore can't be a cuck.
Comparatively Callie is already with the woman of her dreams, who is an aforementioned unloving whore.

I suppose you're right. We'll compromise and say neither is a cuck. After all, Marie can't very well be cucking Callie if they're not even in a relationship.
>aforementioned unloving whore
>woman of her dreams
That doesn't make any sense.

Callie is under the impression Marie is still the blameless little Squid that she grew up with.

I'm not sure if you knew this, but Callie does indeed have an IQ in the double digits. She'd be able to tell Marie was an asshole. As she has already done in the Naughty vs Nice Splatfest.
>inb4 implying

I think that people focus on bad things happening to the Squid Sisters too much
Reveling in the suffering of someone else is no way to live your life
In my opinion this place would be much better if Marie fans and Callie fans got along and imagined both of them in nice scenarios instead of either of them in bad ones

Callie stays true to Marie not because she's stupid, but because she's faithful.

I haven't played this game for about 6 months but I love the shit out of it and want to start playing again.What weapons and abilities are popular these days? I heard ninja squid is straight doo doo now.

Ninja Squid is really good now that people can easily edit Swim Speed gear.

New weapons just came out, they're some of the best in the game.

Blind faith is stupidity. Callie is just too smart to have blind faith in such a cold-hearted woman - not that she's particularly smart, but Marie is particularly a bitch.

Love itself is typically blind, which only goes to show how loving Callie is.
She's just sure there's good left in her, and there is. Something about Marie keeps Callie her friend, and it's not Stockholm syndrome.

You're going in circles. Callie loves Marie despite her personality because of her faith in her, which she has because she loves her.
>and there is
Ah yes, all that good to be found in the admittedly "unloving whore".

i know you're trying to find sugar in a saltlick but "callie is so retarded she is ignorant towards the coldest bitch on the planet" is a horrible relationship. such a portrayal exaggerates both the squid sisters, ruining both of their images and their relationship as well.
so please. consider giving up on this direction and trying going another one.

Emotional attachments are funny things. When you consider how much they've been through together, childhood and careers and genuine warfare, those aren't ties easily broken.
Callie might have seemingly no reason to stay with Marie, but Marie has just as little reason to stay with Callie. But they do, because that's what they've always done. Because they might as well be sisters.

...

When the alternative is that they both hate each other and only stay together because it's profitable, no, it's a no better direction.

We have already assumed from the beginning of our argument that Marie does not like Callie. You did not object to the idea that Marie treats her like shit, and also yourself called her an unloving whore.
And now you're trying to talk about their strong, unbreakable ties with each other.
Pick one.

Those were memes. Disregard them. Callie and Marie get along.

So you're saying that Marie is not in fact unloving, and that she is not mean towards Callie.
Meaning that the goodness has not left Marie, and the faith Callie has in Marie is reassured, not blind, meaning that every argument you made was just going along with a meme which you now decide doesn't apply.
What were you even arguing for?

Fuck, I dunno man. Twist my words all you want.
We're both arguing the same point.

that's assuming the premise of the argument is true, that marie is mean towards callie.
yet you are free to reject that premise with other, much healthier ones, and stop arguing for this most likely false base for a debate.
you are trying to make the best of a bad situation you do not need to be in, if you know what i'm saying, and trying to make the best of it is really only making it worse. so it would be better just to move on and post about nicer hotaao scenarios, or, if you really want to debate, debate the premise instead of the end result.
no offense, but you sure argue a lot for one user here when it comes to the squid sisters, huh? hehe.

This post is so muddled I can't even gather what you're trying to say.

condensing it to one question:
if you don't believe that marie is heartless, why are you trying to argue why callie sticks with a heartless marie instead of why marie has a heart after all?
and i do see you around, or at least someone very much like you, arguing about the squid sisters quite a bit.

I thought that went without saying. Marie has her nice moments, Callie holds on to those.

I also see you pledging arguments often, but not often with me. It's hard to tell who's who here, but I think we're usually on the same side.

ps i hope these posts don't sound mean. i just don't want to have to see a fellow shipper feel the need to argue about these two cuties.

new H3 is DUDE-approved. Now if only I could aim the thing.

96. Gal Prime when

You can't make a Gal any stronger than the 96. Deco. It's the perfect set.

Disruptor kraken would be but splash wall is the 2nd best

I'm just impressed it's been one year and there's still something to argue about in relation to this game at all.

>I heard ninja squid is straight doo doo now.
Actually ninja squid got an indirect buff through the nerfs of echolocators and cold blooded. Echolocation is still a problem for ninja squid, but the advantages of ninja squid with stacked swim speed can still make it worthwhile.

>2 different kits for the same weapon getting the same special
Is that even possible?

They probably wouldn't do it but I brought it up because that would be the perfect set, not splash wall.

Who knows if we'll ever get a 3rd set of sheldon picks, hope they announce something at e3 or a nintendo direct

There's also more Squid Sister concerts coming, they could always make announcements then.

Ninja squid might be utterly fucked now though, due to the new n-zap set having point sensors, and also having kraken. And you know how much everyone loves kraken. It'll likely be one of the most popular weapons in the game, which means there's gonna be a ton of point sensors fucking over ninja squids. Ninja squid users are already fairly rare, from what I've seen at least. Most people seem to prefer cold blooded still, and with the new n-zap any remaining ninja squid users will probably get tired of the point sensors and change over.

I often get killed and spot Ninja Squid in my enemies loadout, and wonder if they got me because I couldn't see them coming.

You have to go back.

>Who knows if we'll ever get a 3rd set of sheldon picks, hope they announce something at e3 or a nintendo direct
We have a 3rd kit for half of the weapons in the game. It would be really stupid if they left it that way.

There'd be several more updates if they plan to give every weapon a third version.

I honestly don't mind point sensors as much as the echolocator specials though. At least with point sensors there's a chance to dodge it if you stack enough swim speed. They're still a hard counter though.

If there were three versions of every weapon type, and included the additional reskins such as the Hero weapons and Octoshot, there would be exactly 100 weapons in the game.

...

There can't be 3rd versions of the Hero weapons and Octoshot since only one version of each of those weapons exist.

That's what I'm saying, there would be 96 weapons if you excluded the reskins.

Be sure to never post this again

Is gmod user still dead

Yes. Good.

I doubt they've done porn

Every match I get some fucking sanic carbon roller and PG burst bombs raining everywhere. Get the lead in the first minute, but then get completely shut out until knockout.

What secret sauce am I missing about Museum? It seems like thirty seconds into the match there's some invincible jap in our spawn fucking shit up.

If this is new gear I'm gonna be pissed because these would be lorebreaking English words ingame

Just because they don't speak English doesn't mean it's impossible for English words to exist in-universe. What's to say they don't have their own people doing research on human languages and such, and like to incorporate words from said languages as a bit of style to add freshness to their gear? I mean, it can't be much different than native English speakers having things with Japanese words on them, or tattoos.

Is there a link to this video?

>you'll never be observed by the Human Research Lab

This is a different; having a specific logo and phrase featuring English words does seem extremely out of universe. I don't believe an Inklish Rosetta Stone ever existed.
Besides, wouldn't it at the very least by Japanese symbols? I'm led to believe Inkopolis is situated on a sunken Japan.

I couldn't find the news report, so have this

youtube.com/watch?v=EHSX4dVgDuk

Obviously the result of editing, she would've exploded at that question.

I want to lick fancy woomy's tummy.

the gear from tuesday's update already said corocoro (in gookish) on it. this wouldn't be unprecedented.

isn't that technically their logo though

and doesn't the tower records shirt technically have their logo on it?

Literally who

true. considering pokemon and other shit exists in their world, i don't see a problem with english being in the world considering all three zappers say "nintendo" and "zapper" on the side if you look closely

Best Brasster coming through

Broken and easy as fuck to use, but not the strongest. Outside of turf war, basically a detriment.

I think it's also worth saying that the basic and black tees have the word いか (squid) written on their front + the word "squid" written on their back in roman letters.

>New N-Zap
>Only good in Turf War
You fuckin wot m8

My issue with the new NZap is that it feels ability starved.

I want Bomb Range Up for the Point Sensors, I want Swim Speed for Kraken, I want Charge Up for faster Kraken, and I want Run Speed for the gun itself. The other NZaps I can live with mostly Run Speed alone.

The N-Zap doesn't really have any issues with charging meter so why not just drop Special Charge Up?

Those have altered letters like everything else in Splatoon where these new ones are straight English and Japanese. It's still immersion breaking.

>Bomb Range Up
>For Point Sensors
Why, their radius is already gigantic

Just Run Speed and Swim Speed is all you need

You should try it. Bomb Range Up with Point Sensors is pretty much Echolocator.

Do we know if these clothes are even meant for the game?

Test until you find something you like. It's much easier if you have edited gear because you have access to almost every combo

>immersion breaking
it's a game holy shit

Using this at the moment

is that a squad?

You wish.
