I said this blog will be more personal, and my first ever post is about Splatoon, of course. Well, whatever, it's my blog! I make the rules! And, this Splatoon post is personal. For a bit of context, September 12th through 15th was the in game event of Grand Fest; this games final splatfest. No, I won't be explaining what a splatfest is. Do your own research.
^ The theme of the Grand Fest. I found myself on Team Present. "Future is a mystery, yesterday is history, today is a gift and that's why we call it the present" blah, blah, blah. No, I didn't pick it for Pearlina, shut up. Fun fact: I played the entirety of Splatoon 3, plus a year of Splatoon 2, and never won a single Splatfest. I was really hoping that I would win the final one.
Over 50 matches, 2 100x wins, and 5 10x wins later, I was pretty sick and tired of the squid game. I reached ruler rank, and was confident in my chances of finally winning. Oh, man, was I wrong. Past won, with 500 points. RIP to Future, who scored an impressive zero points. Yeah, I was pretty salty (still am, honestly), but congratulations to team Past. I guess >:(
Seriously, though, the whole fest was absolutely beautiful. I'll include some photos I got below here. Teams and competition aside, this was probably one of the coolest events I have ever experienced in a video game. Nintendo, you make me so mad, but I guess I will love you for once.
