Topic: Splatoon 3

It’s the end of the season, which means there’s a gold rotation in Salmon Run this Saturday and Sunday at Jammin’ Salmon Junction.

I’ll try to get the gold badge for that stage this time. I’ve come close.

@Dev-N Thanks for the heads up for the gold rotation.

I can never get past VP 200 or low 300s playing solo. Although, if there's a time to try, it's in the first few hours when the rotation starts, when most tryhards are on.

Just as I thought, there’s another Big Run this December at Barnacle & Dime. It’s the 12th through 14th.

@Dev-N I actually thought there would be another Big Run during December too, and it’s happening on the weekend it’s my birthday

It took longer than I expected and it got rough enough that I thought I almost wouldn't make it to EVP 999 this time, but with a high score of 202, I got a Top 2% ranking for the third time in a row. I still reached 999 and beat several Triumvirates. I had a merry Big run after all!

Here's the ending dialogue for a Barnacle & Dime Big Run that wasn't in the game at first because of the silly reward glitch that one time.
Big Man: "Ay. (I'm also hearing that Barnacle & Dime will be able to reopen right away.)"
Frye: "Shoppers everywhere, rejoice! Thanks for saving the mall from the Salmonids, y'all."
Shiver: "You saved the city's best shopping center, and you looked good doing it. Kudos."
Frye: "Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go celebrate at Barnacle & Dime! FOOD COURT!"
Big Man: "Ay! Ay! (Ooo! Let's go to the fancy place we always talk about going to!)"
Shiver: "Feeling like a big spender, Big Man? I suppose it's OK to splurge every so often."
Big Man: "Aaay! (Yesss!)"
Frye: "Yeah, don't even worry about it, Big Man. Our fearless leader is treating anyway!"
Shiver: "But... But... Oh, I suppose I deserve this."

Got a gold decoration this Big Run, can’t recall if I got other gold decorations from many previous Big Runs tho

Now to wait for FrostyFest in January, or a possible Animal Crossing fest (if that Splatfest terminal decoration is anything to go by)
