I'm going to get both then...

Yay dilemma solved.

Calling it now, they're going to do a licensed Pokemon Splatfest at some point where you choose between the three starters. Either the new ones or the Kanto ones.

@IceClimbers That could be soon with S&V coming out 2 months after it.

I can't wait for Ketchup vs. Peanut Butter.

Bah, who am I kidding? I don't care about Splatoon or competitive multiplayer games in general.

@IceClimbers It would be such a missed opportunity if they didn’t.

I always wanted to know. Where tf does that thing come from?

@Snatcher I google it to find it's origin and got this.

What show is the Almighty loaf from?

Loafer the Living Bread (aka Almighty Loaf) | Sanic Hegehog Wiki | Fandom
All hail the walrus, the walrus is life.

explain that.

@Snatcher geez, this goes deep

I just want the things darn origin not fanfics

@Snatcher I got off of Know Your Meme so even I don't have a clue. The style reminds me of Pingu though.

Splatoon is so much fun. So good, in fact, I'd rank it as my #1 favorite competitive multiplayer game of all time. It's sooo good. Sooo much fun. Absolutely ridiculous how addictive it is. Those Turf Wars and Salmon Run Horde mode are like crack.

And I'm not normally a MP kinda guy. In fact, I actively avoid multiplayer games. In general, I just don't enjoy them and prefer single player. But Splatoon is a rare exception.

The fact everyone can contribute without high stress or insane headshot skills, combined with matches randomizing the teams so that if a team happens to be really good, the players get scrambled on the next match so you never get creamed over and over, results in a high thrill but low stress experience. And the gameplay is just fun. Like a Mario game where it's just fun to move around and jump, it's the same way in Splatoon. Moving, shooting ink and swimming is fun in its own right. It just feels good.

And with a beefy single player mode to jump into if you're new to get the hang of the mechanics, or even just take a break from MP every now and then, it's the perfect online game.

@Kermit1 Oh boy. It looks like I’m gonna have to go down the rabbit hole. But not today!

@Fizza It's a puppet. Kinda cool.

@Snatcher I will go down it for you and report my findings in a different thread.

@Kermit1 Very interesting, though it does kind of make it more cursed than it was before.

@Kermit1 Really? Is there a documentary or something? I need to know a,

@Fizza

Splatoon and Monster Hunter both feel like multiplayer-centric experiences designed for hermits like myself who don't usually enjoy social gaming experiences.

They're also the only two major exceptions to my strict single-player only policy with games.

@Ralizah
You forget Smash Ultimate.

I’ve still been too hesitant to dip my toe into Smash online. I barely use the online features tbh although recently it really improved the experience on Shredders Revenge. Playing cooperatively helped get me through the last few stages.
