Silver Stars

FUCK the salmon run boat. hate the boat. they kept the fucking boat but not arc of polaris???? at least they got rid of the stage w the back n forth elevators that one was even worse. tho actually it wouldn't have been nearly as bad now that we've got egg tossing... fr tho the new stages are so good and the boat is miserable

ground coverage

i hit eggsecutive 600 today! i hadn't ever gotten above maybe 250 before this week, so i'm kinda amazed and in awe of myself. guess i hit some kind of breakthrough, maybe even just got lucky with a good team carrying me a couple rounds and that was all i needed!

something interesting about the salmon run ranking system is that you don't get much of chance to get used to higher difficulties in order to start succeeding at them - you reach a new high, play maybe 80 seconds of it before losing during wave 1 because you're overwhelmed by the amount of bosses and aren't sure how to adjust your priorities, and immediately get dumped back at the lower difficulty that you're more used to. i've found that it only takes me 3ish full rounds to get used to a higher difficulty and figure out how to hold my own, but i can only get those 3 full rounds if i'm very lucky and get very good rng and/or teammates!

i suppose there's always private battles if you want to practice a higher difficulty that you haven't quite earned, but it's just not very helpful practice without at least 3 players, and while my partner has some friends who play splatoon, we're definitely the most hardcore salmon runners.

but hey, if any of y'all want to play some salmon run with me in order to get carried through a taste of higher levels (or just to have a reliable teammate if you're also a 300-500 level player yourself) hmu!

so long suckers! i rev up my reefslider and create a huge splash of ink. when the ink dissipates im lying completely dead on the pavement
