these tags i got in response to my acht poll kinda rubbed me the wrong way

i get it but like.. i only found out acht was an actual word because of people bringing it up on my first poll- hadn't even crossed my mind that it could've been from a different language before that, so i didn't think to look it up

don't think it's all that strange to not know how to pronounce a name from a game that never tells you the pronunciation

[splat-newt]

thematically appropriate

[splat-newt]

going from eggsecutive vp down to profreshional +1 is torturous

no matter how hard i try i just. cannot get promoted

i don’t know if i’ll be able to do it with randoms but i can never find more than one person to play splatoon with at a time

pain and misery

[splat-newt]

these are from 2 weeks ago but i still enjoy them i was playing with a friend for the splatfest (also took a small salmon run break at some point) and i drew these inbetween matches

also the third image. titou

they were just some random me and my friend found while salmon running and they really just. weren't good at the game. like i have no idea what was running through their head. they utterly befuddled me and my buddy but they kept joining back so i grew to love them (whilst my friend had nothing but unbridled rage towards this inkling)

eventually did have to leave them behind though because of my friend's pleading, but i miss titou 💔

[splat-newt]

remaking this poll because there's a decent few i missed and it was starting to bother me

How do you pronounce Acht?

Act

Ah-ct

Uh-ct

Oct (as in octopus)

Ot (like in yacht)

Atch (hatch, match, etc.)

Aw-tch (watch, botch, etc.)

Atched (hatched, matched, etc.)

Aw-tched (watched, botched, etc.)

The German pronunciation

Some slight variant of the above

Other? (leave it in the notes! pretty please)

I'm curious,

How do you pronounce Acht?

Act

Oct (like octo)

Ot (like in yacht)

Atch (hatch, match, etc.)

Atched (hatched, matched, etc.)

my first thought was Acht like Yacht, but i swear in every playthrough i watch people say it differently

[splat-newt]

NEW GRIZZCO STAGE I'M PUMPED!!

looks sick as hell actually, might need to find some friends to play it with because i don't think i can mentally handle another round of salmon run with randoms

[splat-newt]

had this clip saved from day 1 of side order and knew i needed to do something with it

The biblically accurate Sisyphean floor

[splat-newt]

but don't get me started on Cruel_Sisyphean_Eight-Shaped.Floor

[cinnamonxbug]

That floor. That floor I have an astronomical amount of hate for. I am THE hater of Cruel_Sisyphean_Eight-Shaped.Floor. Anytime I see that floor I just

Ya’ know

[splat-newt]

If you’re trying to grind prlz but risky rewards is a bit too difficult to be worthwhile, i highly recommend trying a run with only one tone!

the tone chain bonus can get you some big points FAST

just tried it for the first time and my score has already wound up being over double my usual average

[splat-newt]

just cleared the spire with eight's palette!!

and man i was absolutely right. it's much easier to just go through with only 6 chips but every hack on

but yeah other than buying some stuff from cipher, i've completed side order!

had alot of fun with it, but also i fucking hate the rigorous splat zone stages. got so unreasonably mad at those. killing them with fire, actually
