yeah I'm flying in September too and I'm saving the single player for the flight
NZap 85 for me. 2 parts nostalgia factor 1 part suction bombs and ink armor
Goddamn Nintendo, that's a sick burn yo.
The lore in the scroll pages is super deep as usual, but also really vague. It's pulling that Adventure Time shtick where you can tell that shit went down in the past, but Nintendo won't be spilling the beans for a long time, if ever.
Thankfully unlike Adventure Time most of what went down in the past isn't germaine to the story they're telling now. All that "matters" out of the lore is the history of conflict with the Octarians, their explanation of the Salmon Run,
and the current events about what happened to Callie.
The one i liked is showing Marina at the joint DJ Octavio/Squid Sisters concert two years ago, where she's in the crowd with other Octolings.

When is it up until?
As someone who never played Splatoon 1 and usually skips over singleplayer campaigns in MP shooters, I've had a lot of fun with it. It has a lot of unique 3D platforming stuff surrounding pretty good third person shooter mechanics and, so far 2 worlds in (which I think is around 10 levels+2 bosses?), an excuse plot. Also 2 sometimes-hard-to-find collectibles per level. The bosses I've encountered are interesting designs with fun mechanics and the usual 3-phase Nintendo-Boss life system.
It makes for a good binge session and doesn't get too repetitive or frustrating
Not that it isn't completely obvious given her hair and her emblem on Off The Hook, and the only other creatures in attendance were other Octolings.
Goooooooood to know. I think between Splatoon, Mario + Rabbids, and Sonic Mania I'm going to be SET.
That Shirt & Tie combo in SplatNet seems good for Splattershot Pro and Jet Squelcher. Ink Resistance + Ink Saver Main brand. Has anyone played around with a triple Ink Resistance build yet? Do you just glide through enemy ink? Feels like maybe one main is enough but maybe it stacks nice.
Tri-Slosher, Slosher, .52 Gal so far. I really want to put some time into the new Jet Squelcher, but am finding it really finicky and precise with its aiming. I miss having the follow-up Burst Bomb.
The longer-ranged weapons so far (even the Pro and the .96) feel like no-frills, how-good-is-your-aim tests. Should be interested to see if they start giving them more traditional bombs later.

I might end up just playing during lunch. Hopefully our Wi-Fi works well with online gaming!
Not at home or near my Switch, will post later.

They do go into pretty explicit detail on what happened to humanity and Judd's history in some manga in the art book.
Short details for the cheap, first humanity's history:
Humanity had many civil wars and five great world wars. During the last war someone from somewhere launched a nuclear warhead into the south pole which, as a finishing blow to the existing global warming problem, submerged most of the landmasses on the planet and decimated the human population.
On Judd's history:
He was owned by a weapons dealer and has always been able to tell when shown the territories owned by two parties on a map who was winning.
In the case shown he was having a difficult time telling who was winning, and his owner was using it as an opportunity to sell a general a new weapon, who does buy it. (Which seems like the weapon mentioned above.)

This. You also build your ult for your first skirmish hopefully securing the objective for an early advantage. If you're not covering your base early, then it becomes more difficult to do it later.
Curling bomb getaway swim. I love the mobility with Dualies

Yeh but during this time, the enemy has advanced to the middle and claimed it, which makes the whole match harder to win.
Middle first, spawn and inbetween later.

I only use them in Splat Zones and in Turf War.

I have seen this as well and I have the digital version of the game. So I doubt it's moving the cart that does it. I, too, hope that it is not my Switch that is dying.

Intriguing..
Yeh but it can be upraded.
It's pretty poor, but upgrading it to level 2 improves that greatly.

Huh, I remember this happening during the testfire back in March. Occasionally a game would start with 7 people and one would just be a placeholder with question marks

What's the general consensus? If I hate motion controls 5 minutes in does turning them off put me at a disadvantage later on?
Does sticking with it pay off later? Or is it 100% just a preference thing?

I don't use motion and I think it's a preference thing. I'm playing with -3.5 sensitivity on a Pro Controller and -4.0 sensitivity in handheld and I'm finding it pretty comfortable!

You can do just fine without motion. But if you can overcome the learning curve, you'll probably do better with motion.
It's fucken annoying when they do this. I thankfully got B- on the tower game earlier today.

Still not being able to leave a matchmaking lobby is infuriating
I hear ya. Butthole thoroughly clenched when fog and glowflies activate.
Turf War is legit the worst mode in the game hands down to me lol Everything else is miiiiiles better including Salmon Run.
I only play Turf War to try out new guns or practice the charger + level up new gear.
I know a lot of people limit themselves to turf war but I def recommend everyone branch out and try everything.
Seriously, Nintendo (America) doesn't even give a shit about its own coast.
